Демо отличное! А вот с серией... лично я каждый раз замечаю в звуке какую-то дешевизну. И она очень сильно заметна. То-ли датчики всратые, какая-то максимально дешёвая версия Фишманов (хотя, звук самих Фишман Флюенс мне не нравится. Разве что у единственного гитариста - Дж. Миддлтона из "Architects"), то-ли перегруз такой (опять же, эта штука наблюдается в каждом демо, так что вряд ли дело в усилках и эффектах). Инструменты по звуку мало того, что абсолютно не имеют ничего общего с их "прототипами" (но это ладно - тут всё-таки, модерновые инструменты в классическом дизайне), так они сами по себе звучат всрато! Ноты в аккордах на перегрузе неразборчивы вообще. Сравните с тем же, к примеру, Ibanez RGAIX6 с пассивными DiMarzio, так там в широких аккордах каждая нотка будет слышна! Не знаю, вроде, и прикольная серия, но каждый раз создаётся впечатление, что за эффектным видом и "напичканностью" скрывается "гнилое нутро" в виде сраной электроники и т. д.
