Hi Scott,

Are you always using delay on the guitar tracks or do you sometimes just use reverb?

If yes then in what kind if situations?

Thanks in advance!

There's usually some delay in there, because even if it's mixed really low, I think it makes the track sound fatter. If I'm layering, I usually use delay on the main guitar, and other parts are totally dry or have some reverb. I use only reverb on the main track if it's a funk tune and the echo gets in the way. I've tried putting the echo in tempo with the tune, but that messes with the harmony sometimes, so I just use reverb.
