You're in Hookworms? I OWN YOUR CD! haha! thank you! I've been posting on here, albeit sporadically since Hookworms started! At first I thought it could be an issue with headroom on your amp.

I've used the Phase 90, Phase 100 and Small Stone a fair amount.

Don't know how easy they are to get hold of outside the UK but I got a Gordon Smith for about £300.
Absolutely solid guitar, super light, pretty thin neck. Have loved every Gordon Smith I've played
