Frequently Asked Questions
The PST3 is a more budget-friendly option; it lacks the complexity and nuanced overtones of the higher-end lines, but delivers a solid, dependable sound.
It's a subtle characteristic, giving it a touch more warmth than a purely bright splash, but it's not a dark, trashy sound by any means.
While usable, it's likely too bright and explosive for a traditional jazz setup; a darker, more complex splash would generally be preferred.
