I left the D.I. signal unprocessed for best comparability. All methods did something to the tone but in my mind nothing can sound as good as fresh strings after breaking them in.
I also want to emphasize that i really enjoy nickel plated steel strings, since they don't sound harsh and clanky even when fresh out of the package. In my humble opinion stainless steel strings feel worse and have a very narrow window of time where they sound good - so even after trying out DR, Rotosound, Warwick, Sandberg, GHS, D'addario and Ernie Ball stainless steel strings i will go with nickel plated any day! I even prefer these cheap fender ones.
