Note sure that electric guitar sound is working - sounds like a broken amp! Love the Leslie effect on the keys though... I like the slap on the vocal too. I think the guitars need work, but the rest sounds great!
I'm already running the intro guitars through Izotope Vinyl on the most degraded settings, how do I get any worse than that?! They're already distorted and filtered to hell! The electric guitars are actually the clean DIs run through Softube Saturation Knob and a RedWirez Marshall 1960a Cab impulse. The acoustics are actually pretty heavely processed with EQ, I wanted them to be moreso the "air" around the electrics, hence why they're scooped out so much. It allows the broken sound of the electrics have it's space in the center.
Thanks for the critique,
