A particular breed of sorta-progressive metal.
Search youtube for 'Tesseract', 'Periphery', 'Monuments'.
Thanks Quitty 
Any source where I could get more in terms of pure definition?

Djent technically isn't a "genre" but more a literal description (an onomatopoeia so to speak) of a particular sound of a palm mute. On a broader send, you can view the whole style as syncopated staccato rhythm playing often with real ambient often dissonant guitar melodies playing over it.
This guy does a pretty good job describing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5A5aK33QR4
This song is pretty typical of the style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5A5aK33QR4

For Djent, also try Bleed by Meshuggah. Its a great track as well as being Djenty.

I tried many of the profiles posted here and I think the Bulb Rhythm Patch sounds pretty awesome and comes closest to the sound I have in mind.
I put together a quick riff to see how it sounds in the mix with bass:

Maybe you guys would like to give it a quick listen and say what you think about it sound-wise and what I could do better. The riff was just noodling, so please no hating if you don't
like it
Daniel: I tried your profile and it sounds pretty cool!
Cheers!

that 'huge' sound always comes from the guitar and bass mix. Even the drums play a big part in this. It's all about frequency distribution, so to speak, the instruments must work together to create something that's bigger then the sum of the parts.
haha, let me guess where you read that
A profile is extremely flexible and the whole snapshot/fixed sample talk is from people that never player one or simply didn't get the controls of the Amp and Cabinet sectionIMO you should know exactly what you want from the profile. The 'a profile that sounds like a complete mixed and mastered record'-approach won't happen, no matter what the gear involved is.
The Keith Merrow Rig Pack is the obvious starting point, since the man knows a bit about djenty guitars and mixes.I think a lot of these kids hear the double/triple/quad tracked guitars and mistake the layering for "a guitar tone", when it is really layers of guitar that present the "massive" sound. Yes, the bass guitar factors into this too, the guitar doesn't get to trump all frequencies. I feel like some people mistake the low end of the bass as part of the "guitar tone" also.

That genre is EXTREMELY processed, tweaked, edited as hell ...
Not even funny since it doesn't (to me) feels like music, but editing and abusing equalizers. -

The two best "Djent" profiles I use are the TAPP Marzian and Iratus profiles. They are not on the rig exchange but can be downloaded here:

These two profiles are my go to for 7 and 8 string stuff.
Also, in this video I am using the "BG Mark V Djent" profile. Sounds good for the genre as well. I don't think its on the rig exchange either, but a google search will help you find it:
Awesome stuff Mike, sounds great. thanks so much
