<p>Very interesting! That does help thanks!<br>
Its funny how Fedora's style tends to be cold and clean - when the main difference between Fedora and other distros is the warmth and life of the community!! :)</p>
<p>I think I'll switch to a Les Paul and try with some compression and echo to make a water-ey/galactic sound. Might work better?</p>
<p>Will resubmit sometime on Sunday.<br>
Thanks chaps! :)<br>
