Hi Florin,<br><br>Jens Johansson ( <a href="http://www.panix.com/~jens/">http://www.panix.com/~jens/</a> ), was Yngwie's keyboardist for<br>the first albums and gets very convicing guitar-like solo sounds from his Yamaha
<br>DX7. So, maybe you can get good results using Hexter for the base sound, and a<br>combination of effects from CAPS and/or TAPS, Line6 POD or whatever.<br><br>For guitar rythm riffs and chugga-chugga I think it's a lot easier to find a guitarist :)
