Ha... Come full circle I did.

Ok, I am a lucky one here i happen to have both.

ToneZone in my Jackson DINKY DXMG Basswood
JB in my Alder mutt.

My ears; hands down favor the JB. That alder body, and jb produce such an AWESOME brown sound through my peavey valve king.

For my ears, The ToneZone is bleh. I haven't tried it with a 1meg pot though. Maybe I should before I yank it out.
