ear plugs in please  ;D (same bass/drums as before)  This is all one patch. Any changes in tone are different push/pull pot settings on the Epi Les Paul (phase switching mostly)

many thumbs up!

kinda runs low on steam toward the end but the first parts were great - cool jam!

tone wise... meh, I wasn't really paying attention :)

Thanks for that.  I was indeed running out of steam as it was around nearly 8 minutes of improv.   I also find that improv works best by not monitoring the gutiar via headphones.  For this bit of wankery I was listening to bass and drums in the headphones (apple ear buds) and listening to the Helix via a speaker in the room (not mic'd so nothing in the headphones at all) even though the recording was direct.  Makes for a much better experience to "feel it" in the room when playing.
Sounds great, Jon.  I like the sound.  The right amount of roominess for me.  Good stuff!
