Headroom

[Mutant]

I don't want to add to the raping going on here lol, but I am extremely curious. Do you maybe have any recorded clips (that pun actually wasn't intended) I/we could hear?

That was a legitimate question.

I noticed a lot of fret buzz and some DC offset causing top peaks being cut off.

Bottom peaks are all fine (except 1 or 2).

You may reduce the buzz by using a set of heavier gauge strings and adjusting the truss rod a bit.

Hmm and about the DC offset...

Maybe it is caused by a low quality phantom power ?

Try using a battery in your DI box if you haven't tried that already.

And lower the gain if it is possible on your hardware.

I'm hopefully gonna buy a car in the next 18 months.
I hope it has plenty of headroom.

Not sure if this got overlooked or what
"because the pores are so tight that the highs get compressed (AKA clipped)."
Did you actually stop to consider that they might not be talking about electronics? If they're acousitcally compressed by the pores of the timber, it might just mean that they are being naturally deadened before the sound reaches the pickups?
I'm no guitar genius and I have fuck all idea what happens before that signal hits the output, but i know what happens after, and I ain't never saw no signal clip without my TS9
