I like unplugged best, and second best is a simple pickup system.

Yes there's a point where good enough is good enough! You said it - I'm just looking to get a tone that doesn't detract/distract from what I'm doing. Of course I'm happy to go down a rathole if I find some tonal "sauce" that truly enhances. I've been playing around with multiband compression that does some of that, but I didn't want to put that variable in for this video.
