Just listened to offender's clip... nice guitar sound from the Vox dude! I could never figure out how to get a good "mildly overdriven" tone. Lead tone could be a bit more raunchy.

As an update, I should have mine up tonight, just need to mix it. Sounds pretty average.

no worries, any more entries on their way? I'd like to close this one off and get the voting started - then we can start on the next one

I've basically given up on recording my entry, my PC is just too old and crappy I think. Downloaded and installed Audacity OK, but every time I try to actually record summat my PC locks up after about ten seconds.

Yeah I really do need to make an effort to get more of a squeal into it. The intro to that clip was cocked up but the rest went ok. The tone is basically the AC30TB model with the gain & pre-amp volume not too high, the bass about 6 and the mids & treb about 7 and 9. I think on this model the gain acts like the pre-amp volume, the volume acts like the master as the real AC30TB doesn't have a gain.

These things are great to do, I would have put my hand up for the blues collab. thing but this came up at the same time.

Some mp3 players have a line-in/ built-in mic if thats of any use? (Ive used my SO's mp3 player, muvo N200, to do a bit of recording on occasion when I don't want to drag the microphone from the PC out)

Should be pretty smooth. No EL84s in there.
