This is real Class and I enjoyed the wry ( or is that 'rye') humour of your vocal.
The horns are amazing for midi!!
The Tele sounds superb. Was that an amp, micced up or straight into DAW viama sim? Creamy as cream.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for looking in and pleased that you liked the track.

The Tele was recorded through a Midas preamp and then straight into PowerTracks.
The Midas preamp is great because I can push it into clipping where it starts to
gently add a bit of crunch. I set it so that it's just on the edge of clipping, which
allows me to control the degree of crunch by how hard I play. You can maybe notice how
the sound changes as a phrase gets louder.

Unusually for a Tele, this was played on the neck pickup, but this is an old instrument
from a time when the pickups weren't wound as hot, so they're that bit brighter.
The bridge pickup would have been just too aggressive for this track. The only effect that was
added was a touch of the Harrison G+ reverb.

Once again, thanks for the review.

Cheers, ROG
