    '80s Lifeson tone Q - PCM80?

    Hey Rich, this is indeed a pretty good cop of this tone. Ryan Blossey is the Analogkid, he was active on the old hugeracks site and is still around, maybe he has finally got a fractal product, I havent communicated with him in quite a while. I have some info from him from a few years ago on...

    HollowBody Suggestions.

    I love my 1980 Howard Roberts Fusion, when I bought it about 5 years ago they were pretty inexpensive. The older ones seem to have gone up a bit, but I prefer the TP6 tailpiece. You might luck out and find one just a bit over your range.

    New phaser/trem pedal, pretty sweet!

    As great as the Axe is, there is a lot of creativity out there beyond what can come from Cliff and Co. A really awesome thing about the design of the AXE is that there is no reason you can't insert pedals anywhere in your signal path if you want to, so you can have the best of all worlds.

    Sounds great! There have been a number of good Limelight tones out there. How about Sprit of the Radio- that seems a lot more elusive to me. I've never been able to get close, even with a vintage electric mistress and a Loft. Something different about that flange tone.
