Hey everybody looking for some profiles which can help me nail the tones Alex Lifeson got on Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows? Love those tones but have not been able to nail down profiles for it!

Find out what gear he used and mirror that with the Profiler. Good read here...

Hunting down profiles of the amps he used is one way, but you have to be careful which profile you use. A JCM800 will always sound like a JCM800......but that can be a HUGE range of sounds. In fact, several of the Kemper Legends profiles use amps based on the circuit style and not the actual amp model the player used. For example using a Friedman to get a Marshall sound or a Dr. Z for a Vox-type tone.
Here's another resource for determining his gear at the time: -
Big Hairy Profiles has a free amp pack on the GK250 with 10 Alex Lifeson themed presets that sound great for this period to my (damaged) ears. YMMV

And they look to be free right now. I don't know if they are normally free but the price is $0.00 on the site.

He was definitely using Gallien Krueger a lot during that era.

Would love to get ahold of these tones as well!

What about the H&K Triamp he used?

As you probably know, the Triamp came a couple decades after G/P, Power Windows was released.
If you're going 'authentic', of course. -

If you're going 'authentic', of course.I did not know that. I'm just a kid... in music.
