You know... I find that I really enjoy turning off the distortion, filtering through many of the clean or modulated tones in the Podx3 and just listening to the clean tone of the guitar.. It's a nice change.

But, it also has an added benefit. You can't hide from your slop.

Also, I'm interested in blues as well, but, how it pertains to rock. Some of my favorite rock has blues feel to them. RATT for one, had a lot of bluesy style to their music.

Oh yeah... And putting together mutts is fun huh? Igor turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. It's a rock solid axe with an AWESOME tone and feel.
