true, so a lot of that textural stuff is just going to be unattainable to the likes of me, save for modern pedal effect emulation..

however i'm still at a loss re andy's '83 tele sound. i am sure some different compresser may have been used, but it's such a saturated, sharp kind of sound, there's something else going on there.....
