Modeling Experiment w/Baggs Anthem SL & Zoom A3

[guitaniac]

I've been using a Zoom A3 to EQ my Anthem SL rig for quite awhile now. I hadn't tried the A3's modeling with the Anthem SL, however, due to a preconceived notion that the Zoom modeling wouldn't work well with that particular pickup type. I've been modeling with other pickup types, however, and have developed enough of an affinity for the A3's 00028 model that I finally decided to try a recording test with the Anthem SL and the 00028 model.

While the modeling doesn't make a huge difference, it does indeed give me a somewhat phatter, more pleasing (to me) sound that seems most helpful with aggressive strumming.

I've recorded four pairs of playing style samples, with the first sample in each pair being without modeling. The second sample of each pair has modeling.
