Thanks :). The tone is actually from the POD X3. I have PF and I do plan to use it at some point to really fine tune my guitar tones, but it takes a lot of CPU and I don't have a lot to spare right now haha. I actually have SD2.0 also, but it's a pretty complicated program, and I've been using...

I actually agree with you on both accounts of clipping and pumping. I do believe you are correct about the guitars having too much pre-amp gain, because I solo'd each one and by themselves, they crackle and fizz...they are not clipping on my dB meter but they may have been doing so, or just shy...
