I have used the Super D in several guitars over the years. It always sounds good. Maybe not specifically what I wanted for a particular guitar, but never bad. And it doesn't play overly hot. It works for a variety of genres. It splits good and sounds good in parallel. 

I tend to prefer the Tone Zone in most applications where I need more beef and output. But the Tone Zone can be picky about guitars. Same with the JB, even more so.

Totally agreed. Tone Zone gets strats and supersrats sound full and meaty. But if the guitar is already "full", it goes "too much". That's where Super Distortion makes perfection, if that's the case :)
