One Instrument Fest question: Would one electric guitar with three types of sounds be in line with the fest or not? Say, clean, dirty and ultra overdriven guitars in three parts? Or is the idea to have a more or less same sounding instrument which can be used in multiple instances. I'm assuming the latter but wanted to clarify.

You are correct: it is the latter. The idea is to have the same-sounding instrument used in the song. Getting diverse sounds from the same instrument is not the goal for this fest. It doesn't have to be a LitLR performance (although that would also certainly qualify for the fest), but a certain uniformity of instrument sound (so the listener can hear that it's all from the same instrument) would be expected.
