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.

I was able to dial in a really decent Spirit Of Radio sound for the rhythm and lead, but that opening phaser / flange sound has been an absolute beast to try and nail down. We're doing a demo of it as well so I need to figure it out. Hopefully I'll have something worth sharing in the near future.
I once saw a Rush tribute in which the guitarist did a *stunningly* accurate recreation of the "Spirit of the Radio" intro tone. I am a big Rush nerd and his rendition was utterly perfect. At the end of the set I complimented the guitarist and asked how he'd done it. He sheepishly ducked the compliment and said I should ask the drummer. And that was when I learned the drummer had a laptop connected to his Roland sample pad... he was triggering the intro as a 2-bar sample taken from the CD while the guitarist faked it. To his credit, the guitarist did play that lick (technically) accurately when it came around again in the middle of the song, but they used the sample again for the outtro because the tone - like the intro - is so exposed.That would be great- I dont think Lerxst's own live sound has been like the studio tone, even back in the ESL days. Looking forward to anything you come up with!
oh. I'll try that. Duh. Ha.Can you upload limelight R cab here?
Great work as usual! Thanks
