I assume that was a typo and you actually meant the PBDDI, not the Para Driver. I own both the PBDDI and the GT2, the former is great for overdrive tones, but that's where it's dirt producing capabilities end. Even with the drive at full, it doesn't come close to what the GT2 can do and anyway, anything past 2-3 o'clock on the PBBDI results in too much loss of low end IMHO. Of the two, only the GT2 will get you some seriously heavy distortion.
As for the mic setting on the GT2, I only use the "center" setting. The "off axis" isn't much different but not quite as good IMHO, not as full sounding IIRC (haven't played with the mic setting for a long time). As for the "classic" setting from what I remember I didn't like that at all, it was at the opposite end of "center" (with "off axis" being in the middle somewhere).
If you want I can post some clips of each setting later on this week, I wont be able to do anything until Friday though since most of my gear's at our rehearsal space.
