I was actually surprised at how little the P1 sounds like the Pacifica honestly.

I really gravitated towards the Blues for most the drum duties. If I had to pick one for everything on the kit, it would've been them. They were fast, but still had some wicked depth. The red sounded pretty damn good on snare, as did the P1, but again, the blue was just the all rounder for me.

Pacifica on guitars for me, all the way. Lots of gel. It's polished and softer, but not via distortion seemingly, like what a nicerizer does to a mix. It just makes it better.
