Desert island profiles - let's hear 'em!

Michael_dk · Apr 2nd 2015

Hi guys and gals (are there any gals??)

In the interest of limiting the amount of rigs for those of us who are into that sort of thing, let's hear what your desert island rigs are. By that I specifically mean great rigs that take tweaking by the "main" control very well (EQ and gain), giving diverse and useable tones.

Also, as an extra service, please write a wee bit about what you like about it, how you tweak it and what kind of music you find it most suitable for.

And let's limit it to two, maybe three rigs per person.

I would start it off myself, but I must admit I haven't really touched those knobs a whole heck of a knob - hence this thread

So, who will go first?

Well , all of Mike Britts Dumbles are great ....but .....

TAF / Andys Stiletto is great for rock stuff I find and.....

I'm still looking for the perfect claen all around sound ......... in the interim I use Mike Britts Dumble Clean and the infamous free Morgan AC20 with a lot of amp compression

Morgan AC20 for sure
Like robman, I'm still looking for a great clean tone with some punch.

Oh, Evil Robot is killer for crunch tones

And those profiles take gain/eq tweaking very well?

For clean Try Dorrus clean from his shiva 20th anniv. in the thread here in this forum, he direct linked his favorite I think and it's really good. Shiva 20th 5

They tweaked to the sounds I use pretty quickly .....It really depends what sound you hear in your head though ....they just did it for me but your requirements may be very different

That Morgan AC20 is one hell of a profile! Never tire of it.

timowen's HAWP BE profiles, for me especially the first Merged profile he made. I've tweaked that to death and made a couple of performances going from clean, to breakup, through crunch to dirty and a gain-increased solo profile. It's fantastic. For the clean profile, I dialled some of the mids out of it and got it to sound exactly like my old Marshall 6100 Anniversary head. Great stuff!

I find all of Andy's profiles extremely tweakable, too, especially the Custom Shop packs (LOVE that Rivera!).

Cheese,
Sam

+1 here.

Are we only doing free profiles here? If free, yes the ac20 is great, with the compression parameter turned down atleast, set way too high for my taste....

if including commercial, any of Michael Britts would do it for me, but I spend most of my time in his little Walter 22 watt "5" profile, that's probably it for me.
