the idea is to make it sound better than the same style. Not necessarily emulate it. So dennis is free to choose whatever sounds he wishes so long as it does not completely alter the style so that no fair comparrisons can be made. IE using a synth bass instead of an accoustic one . The mega guitars can be replaced with any VST that plays the same realism as the the original style in the style. Lets not back away from the comparrison. We are looking at a straight AB comparrison right ?
