I'm experiencing just the opposite. Each guitar's individual voice stands out more.
With less harshness in the high mids, I do find more usable pickup combinations across the board.
So in that sense, it is more consistent.
that's what i was referring to. it was a negative at all, and wasn't referring to individual guitar character. was referring to how a patch dialed in with HB's might be overly bright with a Tele, now it's not as big a shift...much more amp like in that regard to my ears. perhaps i'm not explaining it well...
