I didn't notice how old this thread was.  I dunno how the effect works probably just eq and some compression?  It does make the tone more brittle. 

It's old enough that I was about to reply and surprised myself by already having done so!

Been listening to Out of Time and AFTP.

The acoustic guitar on Drive etc. on Automatic sounds so good. Anyone know what acoustic he used for the recording?

While I'm at it, I love the guitar tone on Low from Out of Time.

Reminds me of the guitar on PJ Harvey - Rid of Me.

I'll take a guess that its a Les Paul into a AC30?
