Steve Stevens recently organised a set of his signature pickups for me complete with the Ray Gun logo etched into the chrome covers, they sound amazing!

Although I have a beta copy I believe it was the final release candidate, it was formally announced today and my version is a couple of weeks old so don't think much will change. I've included a demonstration of the new amp models, although this is just a bonus feature.

I've finally sold my Blackstar and ordered a Ceriatone Chupucabra 50 with Sozo caps, should arrive in about a month so will be recording loads of demos when it arrives! This will also coincide with the arrival of my Taylor double cutaway with chambered Mahogany/quilted maple top and vintage...
