Thank you Tim - much appreciated. You're hearing the guitar plugged straight into the mixer which then travels straight to the computer to record. I add a little bit of reverb and compression on mixdown and that's it. You're also hearing some bleed from my lapel microphone which captures my voice. That helps for a little warmth. Cheers, Shane
