The John Pearse strings are very solid sounding strings, and I think they are more of a "general purpose" string. Glad you've discovered some new possibilities!

Hi Glenn,
Yes, the Adamas were okay for fingerpicking light, pretty music, but I found the JP to be even better for fingerpicking as well as strumming, and truly an "all-around" quality set of strings that perform very well in DADGAD. I also found the Adamas a bit more difficult to keep in tune and they just never sounded solidly in tune as a "set". Hard to explain, but I was always tweaking a string here and there, and it was like I was playing six individual strings that weren't working together as a set. Again, hard to explain. But not so with the JP, which sound solidly in tune as a set, working very well together. Excellent strings.
