Peter,
 
Not much more you could do to improve this tune my friend!  It's dang-near perfect to my ears.  Great tones and style.  Mix is spot on to me.
 
Is the clean guitar a Strat?  (Love the LP in your pic.)  I think the POD records well.  I have their UX-2 module (many same sounds as POD I think) and I have come to love the convenience of it as well as the good tones you can coax out of it with some tweaking.
 
Great job.

Thanks for the comments tbosco,
 
Yes most of the cleans are the Strat. The slightly overdriven tones are also the Strat. The rest is my Les Paul.
 
I do intend to replace the programmed drums with real ones but that's about it. I would normally also replace the guitars and mic a real amp etc but I really don't think that I could improve on the tone.
 
I am so impressed with this HD500X. Having so many tonal options tends to inspire lots of new ideas.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

Besides the excellent playing and arrangement, you make an excellent endorsement for Line 6.  I've been considering the  HD500x for some time, and I'm afraid this may push me over the edge.

Hi Lyn,
 
Thanks for your comments.
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the HD500X. I'm not sure if you've seen my demo video on the unit. I'm putting together a series of videos about the HD500X and have uploaded Part 1 about a month ago.
 
I'll be uploading Part 2 by the weekend.
 
The link to Part 1 is:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWrRLPRh1A0
 
Hope you enjoy,
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

Not overly crazy about the drums, but who cares - the tune is great!
 
Love the guitar tone and melodies.  Real smoooth...  even the over-driven parts.  Really enjoyable.  The backing tracks support work nicely as well.   And the mix sounds right.   Love the sparse parts with clean guitar intermingled with the fuller arrangements with over-driven guitar.  Dynamics are working.

Hi Steve,
 
Thanks for the comments. Regarding the drums - Yes, they are merely "scratch" tracks at the moment. When I can get the drummer into the studio I will be replacing them with the real thing. I'm not a fan of programmes when one has the facility to use real instruments. I never go into any detail when using programmed drums because I know that they will be replaced. Total waste of time.
 
I'm glad that you liked the overall vibe of the song though.
 
When I've tracked the drums I'll be uploading a video of the session in it's entirety.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.
