Stratman
Welcome. It creamstrat on the other forum!
I see MIJ fenders is up to his old tricks of dismissing everything other than his own view of the world!

something else that just came to mind is that ritchie was not using the tape player yet durring highway star but yet it sounds like his Hornby Skewes very interesting i see that there is a very strong and similar building of the rpa and the hs...........it was always my thought that ritchie being so picky about everything would not change his sound that much...........example.......
deep purple mk1 ......... hs- stock model no mods
deep purple mk2 ......... hs- gain control added and mid rangey caps
and thru these years he just turned the volume up and down on the booster to get his special sounds..........but the makers of the diff hs models dont make that version because its easier to have a catalog of boosters and have a range on them ..........
with the silicone alone i have built 5 working models all very diff and all sound like blackmore but yes i have found the holy grail the one that adjust to all his diff sounds which is very cool.....
but again i dont think anyone has thought of that..........
bernd put out the HS-C which is so close that you could fake everyone blindfolded but that was the ge version ritchie stopped using that one probably cause of the noise there is just to much and ge's are hard to ground off without losing good sound quality........so ritchie started using the silicone version less noise more sustain more control less jimi hendrix type feel........ fatten up the caps and bingo its the same with half the noise .........when dawk rebuilt the aiwa preamp he did a couple things to it but its does sound like a hs just clean very clean that was the diff ......most of the sound is on the major .......not the rpa...........
henceforth the solo we just heard with the rpa sounds like richie with his hs.................................
