Cholla adds waaaaaay to much midrange
You have to scoop that $#!T out if you want to play the metalzzzzz

I am doing research, to find the optimum "tone material" for straps.
We are getting great upper-mid chime and presence from a substance made from... hardened hemoroid cream and strips of recycleable toilet paper.
Don¨t know yet; what we are gong to call itIf somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!

"Seriously" - I believe my tone has gotten better, after I got a real quality leather strap. :/
It makes playing sitting down, and standing up- much more comfortable; and then I am able to play and sound better.
/real party pooper, eh?

...also spending tons of money on one piece of gear, overlooking important and relatively inexpensive things like straplocks. I've almost dropped my Epi four times now. :o

Rather than straplocks, I prefer just using oversized strap buttons
