Re: The Hermit
The heavy guitar sound in itself is smashy & great, and I love the doubling effect, but in the context of this song, I'd probably try to take it back a bit - maybe by reverb, less treble or a bandpass straight away, lower volume -, and try to tame it - there's something with the attack, either switch in a compressor (multi-band if you want to keep the low punch), or if you already have one, reduce attack time; a well tuned gate can also help, I switch it in after the amp but before delays & reverbs, trigger it with a sidechain from very early in the chain, possibly raw guitar, and really make best use of all parameters to get a natural sound - can be tricky to wire with ardour's pin connections, with all fx in carla patchbay it's more intuitive. Let the listener discover this guitar, don't throw it right in his face. (only my idea, of course, you do what you like )
It is a nice song with the psyocean sound, I especially like how the two melodies intertwine like a classical contrapunctus, and we also learn why a guitar tremolo is called a whammy bar

Re: The Hermit
Forestandgarden, thanks for comment and ideas!
In my guitar processor Korg AX3000G among some delay-sections have reversive-delay. Sound with it stay low-attack, long sustain for string with rise in "decay-zone", it may be use.

Re: The Hermit
Enjoyed this. Good instrument 'conversations'. Can't really comment on it technically.
