Judging mono isolated guitar tracks is a lost cause. The way Ola England and Keith Merrow used to do videos back in the day where they showed it isolated mono play through, stereo mix, isolated stereo, with and without post processing and a few other flavors is a lot better - using timestamps to quickly A/B
I bet the tone Reza gets would cut in a mix - or be easy to work with in a mix but it’s still just a hunch…
