I looked up what I had said about the 36th back when I had it installed:
I hear really present highs, very bright. Tight but not very fat lows and fairly bland midrange. The neck has a slightly woody tone, but the bridge does not. My hollowbody is a fairly well balanced guitar and my PRS is a very warm sounding guitar ( I had them in 2 guitars). The 36th PAFs sounded very similar in both.
I also commented at the time that is was as bright as my 59 bridge, although that is not the way I remember it now...
I stopped using the VHotPaf when Dimarzio discontinued them because I wanted to have my backup strat set up the same way, and I couldn't find one. I use the Duncan CustomCustom now in combination with 2 Fat 50's single coils, all run with a 300k volume pot and 250k tone.
