you are right up there imho, and this song demonstrates again your talent.
(one of the best guitarists i ever heard was a session player with only just a pignose amp..and a few pedals.)

i can understand if you dont want to divulge how to get your great 'tones'.
but if you DO , i'm sure lots of people would love to know a budget sig chain.
maybe a you tube demo/discussion etc etc. ??

showing sig chains for various music 'genres' ? from classic rock thru' mor' thru' ballads etc etc.

once again kudos to you. and nice collab.

i'm v impressed by your playing….sincerely
(by comparison..lol..i cheat via 'cut n' paste.)

Thanks for checking out the song.

I create a new signal chain for each song. Robert will give me an idea of feel when he drafts the lyric and backtrack. I have four different base signal chains for each of my guitars. Each would use a different amp.
This is all configured via the Helix LT. I would copy the base to a new preset and give it the name of the song.

For Drive Your Plow:
Guitar was a Gibson Les Paul R9
I record two tracks for each guitar take.
1. Is a dry track that goes from the guitar to wireless Sunnheiser receiver. The dry track goes into my Apollo Dual USB.
2. Second track goes from the Sunnheiser to my Helix and through the signal chain to the Apollo then to the DAW (Studio One).

On the Helix LT:
>> Minotaur (Klon) >> Kinky Boost (Drive Only) >> Ampeg Liquifier >> Parametric EQ >> Comp (LA2A) >>
Amp Fender Deluxe >> Cab 1 4X10 Tweed >> Cab 2 Mshl 4x12 Greenback >> FX Loop (A real Eventide H9 - Vintage / Delay Preset).

I use an expression pedal to dial in the delay % of the H9..

I will then send the stem with effects to Robert with a rough mix. He will let me know if the tone is good or needs adjustment.

On this song the original take was a little to clean. I was able take the dry take and reamp it through the Helix and adjust the different blocks to get the tone where I wanted it. From there just needed to record the new tones and replace the original wet take.

I also run the dry take through Izotope RX9 and cleanup and finger flubs and sympathetic string vibrations.
