| don't dis the low end!
I can't say that I spend a lot of time in The Low-End Theory forum (I run a mastering studio, most of what's there wouldn't apply) but I think you guys might have the wrong idea about it. It's kind of a beautiful concept (and it's named affectionately after one of the greatest albums of all time!): the pursuit of greatness within economic restrictions. It's not a shameful notion! Low end doesn't mean low class.
If, in fact, the majestry and innovation of the Cocteau Twins' guitar sounds on, say, "Heaven Or Las Vegas" (one of their many masterpieces) were achieved with inexpensive means, then that really is a testament to what can be achieved with imagination and vision, not expensive gear.
There's nothing wrong with that. It's Low End in the most inspiring way, I say.
