It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Lisa Stewart *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Natalia Takahashi Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. ------------------------------------------------------------ From lbrennan@berkeley.edu Fri Apr 26 22:23:32 1996 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!berkeley!lbrennan From: lbrennan@berkeley.edu (Lisa Brennan) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1996Apr26.222332.7632@berkeley.edu> Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 22:23:32 GMT References: <1996Apr25.093832.8374@panix.com> <1996Apr26.101032.8837@illinois.edu> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 11 In article <1996Apr26.101032.8837@illinois.edu>, ntakahashi@illinois.edu (Natalia Takahashi) writes: > YES!
