Alright. Here's some clips. Very simple ones.
I try to stay as far as possible from the amp or the computer, or the variac to minimize noise.

I'm playing a 2011 Charvel SanDimas, JB in the bridge, 59 in the neck. Gotoh 1996 floyd tremolo.

I just play 3 chords in the 3 pickup positions and let ring. on the higher volume setting you can hear some computer interference.
I'm using an impulse response for a SM57 on the cap edge position, 3 inches from grill cloth.
