Is it possible? Do I have to put on the effect afterwards I have saved the recording in .wav format or do I have to use the H2 as a USB mic for the PC and then put on the effect live in some sort of software?
I think the 2nd option is the only logical one. Anyone had any experience with that?

Incase you don't know what "sound" it's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeOw8JBmXsE&feature=grec_index Jagger's playing the harp :)

Personally, I think that sounds kind of lousy, but if you want to sound like that and you have a Mac start up GarageBand and try messing with some of the amp settings. I am sure you'll find one that sounds like that. Try one of the heavy metal amps. They sound bright and brittle.

@ Shajan,
I have an HG2.I think you will have to swap out some tubes in the amp. to get that sound and possably add some type of effect before the amp. The sound I here in the video feels thin and tinny to me but Tone is subjective.
I made a few tube swaps in my HG2 as was shown in the owners manuel to get more breakup sooner. I don't have the arraingment in front of me, it's at the practice shack 5 miles away from me. Try a hotter tube set up but you will have to deal with feed back if you go to far.
Mike
