Sometimes folks need to hear the effects to get a good track. Not sure if the FX are hardware (pedalboard) or what, but you might put a DI (to act as a splitter) in the chain so you can capture a completely dry signal if you're not sure you want the guitarists choice of FX or wetness to be all you have to work with.i need to get my friend to do the solo over because he recorded his part with effects ON. Thanks for the comment.
