I finally got to take my new Profiler Stage to the band rehearsal room today. Up until today I've just been using it to record and play through studio monitors.
First off, holy shit, this thing continues to amaze me. It sounded like a real amp with my Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 and 2x12 cab.
The interesting thing is that I tried tons of different profiles, and the one I liked best for high gain (Top Jimi Friedman JJ100) was one I thought sounded just ok for recording. My recording favorites also sounded good, but the JJ100 was so dynamic, with all the right overtones and touch sensitivity. Anyone else have that experience, where a profile that sounds bad in one situation comes alive in another?
