Yes, I am aware. He is a superb player, legit or illegit. <grin> The AMT
system works fine for those using a 5JB or similar also. For those who have
never tried one, when they do, they will hear the difference.

The beauty of the pictures is that they show a beginner exactly where to
place a microphone system in relationship to the axe. Better than trying to
describe it. The only modification one needs is to put a regular mic a
little farther away.
