Hi guys, thanks for the kind words and time.
Bob, the guitar is played through TH2 and the main f/x is the Octaver with a little grit. I love that sound, and I first heard it done by Jimi Hendrix.
John, I keep my levels low in Sonar (about -12 to 18), bounce to Sound Forge, where I put a limiter on it set to -8.0 threshold and -0.1 margin for 16/44.1 wave files. For MP3 conversion, I set the limiter to 0 threshold and -0.35 margin @256K. Thanks for asking.
