Now its really time to disaggree!

Yep, you DID setup yourself as an authority. But you did it the very best, most honest and most sympathetic way possible. You NEVER said you are an authority. WE say you are, because we all gained that impression over these many posts by you, dont we?

You should not wonder that only a few people disaggree with you so far. In my case you delivered explanantion why my ears are hearing what they are hearing (in my mixes) and how I could improve it. And you obviously explained it in a genious, educative way, so that I was able to follow, to correct it, to hear improvement.


For the guitar/amp sound thingie:

I made my way slowly up from cheapo equipment up to Fender/Gibson + Hiwatt/Marshall. I bought those when I was young and poor. Was a real pain in the ass, moneywise, that time. I thought I had to.

Now I'm old, self-employed for 20 years and could afford any guitar and amp I wished. And what am I happy with? Baton Rouge (Gibson Jumbo replica), Weller (Gibson Lucille replica) and the hardware POD. These there 'workhorses' are less than $1500 all three together!

Cheers
