The Dream Theater mix is kinda weird because JP is the only guitarist and he's got a more scooped tone to sit around Jordan Rudess' keyboards. It fits in the mix similar to a bass sometimes in that it's not always the main focus of it but if you took the guitars out it sounds really hollow. The best example of his tone (but with the Illuminators) is the beginning of Our New World (aka the only 30 seconds of that entire album that's salvageable).
a D Sonic/PAF Pro set sounds killer, and if you dug the sound samples of the Katana in the other thread make sure you try the D Sonic both ways (bar close to and away from the bridge) because it makes a pretty drastic difference. Bar towards the neck will be big and muscular but on the less bright side, while bar towards the bridge will be a brighter, more like the Lithiums I had for the Drop A stuff.
