Hello Ralf, Direct link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1463959/01%20-%20what%20matters%20most.mp3 You should have a chat with the other guitarist of my band ;) He did several gigs in Germany with his other band, maybe you've heard of them (Omission). He owns a JCM800 1959 from the 80ies. But it's too hot for me (I think his pre-amp stage needs some care), I like a clean, clear sound with ringing highs but still a lot of oomph. The combination of my guitar (the Yamaha) and the amp+cabinet give me that. I also like it as clean as possible so I can color my sound better. And with coloring I mean as transparent as possible, so no OD-2 for me ;) (I use a Fulltone Full-Drive 2 Mosfet and 2x Ibanez Mostortion through a Wobo looper/switcher). Never heard of Petersburg amps, I did some Googling but contrary to Petersburg amps London City amps are point-to-point and slightly better build.
