Nerine is a name I did not know I was missing.

But I missed in nonetheless.

I’m confused? How so? 

Just haven't seen you for a bit, and I enjoy your contributions

That’s very kind. 

Did you used to be on the old HCAF forums??

In a live setting you need to split the signal and say the left side drive the normal chain into your favourite amp. The right side needs to be very slightly variably pitch shifted and time delayed (preferably variable short delay and some reverb) in relation to the original (Left) signal. A second amp distanced across the stage could be of quite different character (i.e. a solid state combo) to reproduce the right field signal. This is not a true stereo signal path as such but a secondary signal processing chain.

Yep, and it's actually scared me a bit how long ago that was now!

Good tip - I'll try it (...but will I actually be able to play the same thing twice???).  For live I have a Keely "Double Track" pedal which has a very short delay (30 mili seconds).   It's a nice sound not quite chorus and the pedal has a great reved and a slap back

Recorded some guitar parts today and thought I’d try this... but... to keep the variable down I used the same guitar and settings for both tracks except the second guitar was capos at the first and retuned to standard pitch (shorter scale length)...

it made cock all difference to the sound... the difference came from slight inconsistencies in playing.

wasn’t a difficult part... just a big strum on an open G chord!...
