I oculd go for some Trex right now. I thought that hit they have on the radio was the stones, for like 23 years, then I learnt it was trex, wow.

Which nation would that be?

Well aren't they all English besides Rory Gallagher, but my point is anytime I talk about great British guitarists most of the UK guys cringe. I never got that, whatever.

It's not a criticism, I just don't get it.

I don't really like "lead guitarists", bascially.

Out of that lot I like Marc Bolan, I'm pretty much bored or turned off by the rest. This is not a nationality thing, I am bored by SRV, most of Hendrix.. blah.

I know I'm a philistine, it just does nothing for me. Hendrix's Little Wing however, is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Rory Gallagher isn't British.

Treble boosters are dead simple to build. Mike could convert his boost pedal to do treble boost by simply lowering the input/output cap values. All a "treble boost" is over a normal "boost" is that it chokes out the lower range frequencies.

Mike, there's an addition to your pedal line. You should bank on that shit, there's a market for it!

And yeah, they aren't popular anymore since they learned to build tube amps and pickups that don't muddy out with saturation. But if you're after dem "vintage toensz" and you have a vintage guitar and tube amp, a treble boost is kinda essential. I hate the "gain mode" of my Vox because it muddies out really bad with any kind of boost.
