Why is that? My "straight" recording of the editor's guitar seems to sound just like his performances. Certainly if your guitar amplifier is "helping" you with pre-distortion and tailored or contoured response, then yes, they won't sound anything like each other. Microphone time...

he last hum job I did had strong energy at 60, 180 and 360 (strong buzz) but almost no energy at 120. Notching out 120 may have been complete overkill.

You generally need to have the -dev files as well as the standard on...
