This thread reminds a bit of another one that talked about the escence of capturing a sound where alot of people put gear, as last in importance. I can't disagree more. One thing is having a good guitarist play anything, and everyone would love whatever he does because he is damn good and knows when to play what and where. That is definetly the most important part, but guitar tone... is gear. I don't think David Guilmour would use a million device costum made or whatever thingys in his guitar chain, if he thought he could go straight in from a strat to his amp. Or The Edge, I don't think his 20 or more outboard rack things are there to show off. And we wouldn't have SSL's , and all the goody stuff we love to talk about. come on guys.. where is the slutiness.
