What's THAT?!?! :OTry your tone knob on the guitar.
Playing metal riffs on a strat without an amp for years is how I developed my harsh picking technique. . I am picking very hard in the file but I must stress that even if I pick as soft as possible (changing the tone dramatically and letting my noise gate rob sustain) that pick attack is still there dominating the sound.
@jon - Are you talking about the 'definition' parameter on the Input EQ page of the amp block?
Could this be to do with the increased ‘clarity’ that some have noticed with recent firmware releases? I know I am hearing a lot more pick noise than before and can’t hide my mistakes as easily now
Btw I liked the sound of your clip and it led me to check out the cornfed... horses for courses I guess. Could it just be that amp?
And I'm here trying to add pick attack for one of my guitars. Life is funny like that
