Been listening to Robert Johnson all day though.

some good playing there, well done.

Tone reminds me of some of Joe Walsh's stuff, don't know why but it does, not hendrix though. I guess with those modelling things it really depends on what guitar you use as to what the ultimate sound is. Some great playing though
