Sounds good Doc.
Cheers mate.
I'm going to see if I can knock together another demo for you guys, but this time it'll be with drums, a bass guitar, and etc, I'll see if I can do it Dub Reggae style.
As it just so happens, I've got my Squire P-Bass here at home with me so I can use it to record the bassline.
Update:
After having some trouble with my main DAW PC, I've just managed to do another quick demo of the Gold Strat, this time it's being played through my DIY Gypsy Eyes Fuzz pedal, will post a link to it shortly when it's ready, stay tuned.
And here it is, half of it has been recorded dry while the other half has had some stereo delay applied to it:

Well, that's pretty much a square wave fuzz sound there, Doc! It's definitely not a pedal that still lets the real tone of the guitar through.
Yes. I had a Colorsound Supa Tonebender like this as my first ever pedal. I bought in sometime around 1977:

A development of those early Tonebenders but still just a few basic components on a PCB.
I thought it sounded horrible, but it was half the price of my mate's MXR distortion pedal and I couldn't afford to get anything more expensive at the time (I was 16). It was also my first purchase from Andertons, who were just a small but decent music shop in those days.
Oh cool, apparently Jeff Beck used one of those at one point in his career, they're regarded as quite collectable nowadays, I'm seriously thinking of doing a build project thread on one of those soon, would be cool to get some Jeff Beck tones with it and my Gold Strat.
The circuit of the Supa Tonebender is a lot like the original 4-Transistor Big Muff, except there's only one transistor stage with the back-to-back clipper diodes.
Just in case any of you may be interested, here's a pic of the recording rig setup which I used to record the demos I uploaded:
