I revisited out a load of old home recorded tapes from that time when i borrowed an antique 4 track recently.
One of many embarassing revelations was that I had possibly the worst guitar tone I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure I knew it was bad at the time but I didn't have the money to do anything about it.
It was an early 90s Mexican Strat with nasty thin ceramic pickups into a massive s/s Peavey with a 15" speaker. In a misguided attempt to preserve the purity of (the shitty) signal path i'd probably read so much about in guitar mags i didn't use any effects, boost, compression or nuthin'. It was weedy strat into fizzy pre-amp gain from a nasty early 80s solid state keyboard amp.
Honestly thee worst sound.
