For the Enya this is straight guitar no effects turned on. I will say that I do notice the difference in string spacing as it was a bit trickier for me to stay clean on the Enya.

Merry Christmas!
Thanks for doing this! In your two demos, I hear the Enya X4 Pro as being no slouch compared to the Kinnaird OM. I went back and forth between the demos and would prefer one guitar over the other and then further listening would reverse my preference. I think your demos help to solidify the Enya X4 Pro as being a wonderful value for those willing to take a chance on buying one. For folks who prefer a wider fingerboard at the nut than 1 11/16", it's too bad Enya doesn't make a model with a 1 3/4" width option.
