It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Aiko Müller Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jlarsson@stanford.edu Sat Oct 14 18:50:25 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!stanford!jlarsson From: jlarsson@stanford.edu (Joachim Larsson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1995Oct14.185025.9840@stanford.edu> Date: Sat, 14 Oct 1995 18:50:25 GMT References: <1995Oct13.072425.9511@inria.fr> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct13.072425.9511@inria.fr>, swatanabe@inria.fr (Sergei Watanabe) writes: > Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.
