Interesting! The guitar is a newly bought U.S. tele. I'll try to describe the signal chain to you soon.
the track is recorded from a shure (dynamic) mike in front of the amp, we have used this setup many times without any anomaly. I'm attaching a longer version of the rhythm track where the distortion is heard here and there. I'm eagerly awaiting your comment :-)
