ELECTRIC GUITAR SECTION:

To my ears, and only cheapass laptop speakers to listen with ( at the moment)
the mp2 sounded most defined and less colored and a little fuller, however a little sterile, tinny in the high e string on the chords at times.

THe Portico sounds very close the 3124 without the silk. THe portico has comparatively more upper mids and some neve color ( very similar to my old script mxr phase 90 coloring) in fact the portico tracks almost seem to have the effect of phase or volume swelling whereas the api or mp2 tracks don't have that. THe silk kinda throughs some more of that phase 90 sound on the overall sound, smoothing things out, but blurring the edges too, it is an effect-I guess.

The api 3124 was impressive, seems to have an evenness about about it, modern yet vintage sounding, seems to have less bass or a slight scooped eq sound...
