Re: [LAU] heavy metal guitar sounds please?

Hi Florin,

Jens Johansson ( http://www.panix.com/~jens/ ), was Yngwie's keyboardist for
the first albums and gets very convicing guitar-like solo sounds from his
Yamaha
DX7. So, maybe you can get good results using Hexter for the base sound, and
a
combination of effects from CAPS and/or TAPS, Line6 POD or whatever.

For guitar rythm riffs and chugga-chugga I think it's a lot easier to find a
guitarist :)
