Very nice Miles! Your finger picking style reminds me of Knopfler. Very sweet when finger picking and It really gets some grind when you start using the pick. Great clip from a sweet guitar.-- Darwin

First thing I thought too.

That's a good demo of how the original ( and only as far I see it) F-100's had many voices.
Nice tight low end response.

What's your signal chain (direct? mic'ed? 2" tape? :lol: )

P.s. I don't think Lydia is doing too well, did you see the Breaking Bad finale?

Thanks guys. :)

As always I'm recording via the Pod X3, acting as an USB audio interface. Actually I record the unprocessed signal and for the mix I'm using Soundfarm 1.3 as plugin. The X3 just provides the license for Soundfarm, while Soundfarm got the same settings as the X3 had. That way I always have the possibility for fine tuning.

If that sounds too complicated, just two words: no amp. :mrgreen:

Thanks again for the comments.

Since I've got the Comanche, all the other guitars have to be jealous. :mrgreen:
