I give up!

Texas

That was my immediate thought!

At $69, it appears to be a useful preamp to experiment with and possibly dial out and eliminate....nasty resonances perhaps? Just a thought.

For what it's worth

And yet MA is still insistent that he only hears it when he plays Am chord. Sell the guitar and move on.

Here's a question for you. Do you hear that "resonance" in the audio clip, or do you only hear it when you are playing the guitar/behind the sound hole projection?

No.

Humidity.

Fine. You're not keen on taking it to a luthier. I suggested it because a reputable luthier using a borascope could easily locate an inner crack lying just beneath the surface finish of the guitar. Hope you sort it all out.

Take the guitar to a qualified luthier who might possibly sort out the root cause.

After experimenting, Elixer won the string contest for me. YMMV

I have a similar, TC Helicon Harmonizer which may or may not be the same model you have. My unit has a "thicken button" on it, which I only toyed with once or twice. The harmonizing features works quite well, but as you stated, it sounds decent on headphones, but not so great live, or recording...

1971 Tom Dowd recorded the Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East to tape. According to Dowd, @ wikipedia "It was a good truck, with a 16-track machine and a great, tough-as-nails staff who took care of business,"

I restrung the Yairi with D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ16 strings tonight. Prior to re-stringing, I played my normal warmup with the old Elixer strings still on the guitar, and they still sounded good. I should mention that I normally play acoustic guitar using the flesh of my fingers. After...

Harmonisers or Melodicists? I fall into the Harmonisers category. It's always been easy for me to sing harmony...even to a song I've only listened to once with a single vocal.

How is double tracking a vocal track better than copying the track and offsetting it by a few milleseconds?

I appreciate all of the responses. I ordered a variety of D'Addario, GHS, and Elixir guitar strings that I am quite familiar with to experiment with further on my acoustic guitars to attain the best guitar/string marriage that brings out the best sound on an individual guitar basis. I'm...

For the past 15 years (or more) I have exclusively used Elixer strings on all of my acoustic guitars with good results, but recently it occurred to me that I shouldn't be single minded to the extent of using a particular brand of strings on all my acoustic guitars. I'm at the point of purchasing...

On that point...I agree with your assessment of the overall state of music these days. There's nothing new or ground breaking at all.
