Thank you to Scott, Gregg and Mario for your kind reviews - I'm slightly blushing blush

The guitar I used is my Ibanez AFS Artcore using both the bridge and the neck PU. (I use 0.9 strings to give it more treble) The guitar is connected straight into a Line signal on my Focusrite Scarlett 8i-18.

Everything else is software within my DAW Logic Pro X

Noise gate: Fast Gate (Threshold -72db, Reduction -100db, Attack 2ms, Hold 0ms, Release 20ms, High Cutoff 1200hz, Low Cutoff 20hz)

Blue Echo (Synch to 120 bpm, Time 1/4t, Repeats 78%, Mix 34.75%, Tone Cut low)

AMP Model Model - Customized, AMP - Large Blackface Amp, Cabinet - Silverface 2x12, Mic - Dynamic 421Microphone centered on the right Speaker unit and as far away as possible (EQ: Gain - 5.2, Bass - 6.8, Mids - 6.2, Treble - 5.3) (Reverb - off) (Effects - off) Presence - 6.3, Master - 10

EQ I cut freq under 50 hz quite agressive, I raise a bit around 100 hz, then I cut 8db at 400hz and at 800hz I cut 12 db. I raise 11 db at 6500hz (using a bell curve)

Compressor Studio FET Threshold -26.5db, Ratio 4.1:1, Attack 14ms, Release 150ms, Make Up +1.5 db, Auto Gain - Off, Attack/Release - Auto. Mix 66.5% Output, Distotion - soft, Limiter - off

I have added some auto cleanup using iZotope RX7 Connect.

After I bounced the track used iZotope Neutron 3 to set the sound and dynamics and added a 6.6s chorused Reverb on Bus 1 (-16.2 db) and Another Tripplet 1/4t (120bpm) 68% Feedback Tape Echo on Bus 2 (-14.0 db) and finally in "Verse and Chorus 2" I added a Phaser and a Stereo Spreader on Bus 3 (-9.0db) to set the guitar in the mix as I desired.

If you reached this long - I hope the explanation made sense. smile
