Your Tele...on the neck pup. Zonkin' set for nice OD. If you please.
The voicing on the VJ is still a bit dark, is it cheating if I dial up the treble a bit to compensate for that? Or would a bridge HB'er on another axe suffice?

No no...turn up the tone knob on the pedal for more treble. I live on single coil neck pups! I wanna hear the new mods in this manner with the ZYS....if you don't mind.Surprise, surprise!

Well, this isn't exactly what Tone asked for, but here's a clip of the mods so far, first the amp dry, then w/ the ZYS, then with a bit of delay and the ZYS, then clean w/ delay at the very end.
Tone the Tele has a weird "tink" sound on the high E for some reason, and it's driving me nuts to play, so I'll get a clip w/ it for you when I get it sorted out. This clip is the bridge HB on the Switch (EMG select).
The amp volume was at 10:00, and it's loud. With the amp at 2:00 and the Zonker it starts to scream. It's still voiced a bit dark for my taste, but I'll see whether I want to keep tinkering w/ it or just stick an EQ pedal in front of it.
It's more touch responsive now than ever, which is good if you play really clean. I'm getting finger and string noise, and can see I need to practice playing much cleaner. I also notice the resonance and chime of the strings has improved, full chords ring much nicer than before. It also sustains great, listen to the very end of the clip where I let the chord ring.
Lots of fun doing it, and worth the $50, to me at least.
