Carol Ann Triptik 50

Thanks for posting them! If they sound anything like the clips on the Carol Ann site, I'm gonna love them

thank you for sharing

I juste wanted to make a big thanks for these profiles , the leads are mighty good.

Grab a Les Paul ... select Carol Ann Triptik Lead 4 ... do NOT tweak anything ... instantly feel like Gary Moore in front of 20 000 people

Each of your 4 leads have their own voicing from creamy lead marshall to mesa boogie thickness , all sound Hot Fat & Juicy. They also clean up very well , with the gain knob or with the vol pot even simply on the attack of the fingers & pick.

Many many thanks for this excellent collection of rigs, could you explain what settings did you use while profiling ? looks like the original amp has a modern & classic settings.

Thank you, your efforts are very much appreciated, will try soon, great profiles have been coming thick and fast and I have quite a backlog, times are not tough

Yeah , it's not like we are needing more profiles, but they keep coming & coming at an exponantial rate with the community growing and with some real gems like this ones...

I wonder what the rig exchange will look like in ten years , 50 000 rigs ??

Cool, beautiful amp

Really nice profiles!! big thanks! keep up the good work !!

Regards

Thanks for the explanations ! Will also try the 4x12 this week-end. They sound really great with HB with that huge amont of basses, did you profile them with a HB guitar ?

Thanks for the for uploading all these!

Hi Tim , I've been trying your last batch of rigs, it's even better than the 1st

The lead2 'classic channel' is fantastic, tried it with my strat, I could find many gain settings all across the gain course, all of them with a specific & beautiful tonal character, sweet, growl and great attack & sustain. The pedals react also very well with it.

So far your 'lead4' from the 1st pack is my favorite for HB and 'lead2' from the 2nd for SC should be part of the 'factory rigs' for me.

Looks like the Carol Ann is a killer amp for vintage & classic rigs, thanks for taking all this time profiling it for us.

Man , I could'nt resist posting something recorded with those CarolAnn rigs , they are pure magic on my les paul

You captured it so well I swear I can hear the F.....K red hot tubes cooking in it while I play them.

here is this little 'decadent' blues theme

Wha is played with the Tripik Lead2 4x12 tweaked a bit. Chords are played on my strat with the same rig + Harmonizer (warble bug included

Bass is my own Dakota rig with -1 oct harmonizer

the leads are pure Triptik Lead2 4x12 on HB , Gain is very low there, just about 9' o clock The reserve of gain from this point is incredible to say the least

Yep Waraba, In my mind thats the LP tone a lot of people spend a lot of money chasing

Good one timowens

Yeah, you're right, I've been chasing this kind of sound for years (I'm a big John Miles Fan, Rebel & Stranger in the city period).

You really have to try those rigs to believe your ears.

This 'classic' channel (4x12 lead2) has everything I need in a guitar amp dedicated to the Les Paul :

on neck Pickup :

sparkle, warm & chimey nature
you can ear all strings on a chord
reacts naturally to attack
very sensitive to vol pot, tone pot and finger attack (I don't play with a pick)

on bridge ,same as above , but :

capacity to 'highlight' the Les Paul growl from subtle attack to power chords & palm muting
possibility to play some clean/dirty rhythm then switch to lead just by vol. pot & attack
breaks soon with minimal gain
sustains forever
cuts the mix & takes KPA pedal well

This CarolAnn has it all + some kind of voodoo magic. I now have to find the right tweaks for my strat.

Tim ,Any chance of profiling it with a classic strat or tele (low gain SC) ???

These are great - thanks for posting them!

Nice Profiles -- always wanted to try this amp...and now I have it. \m/

Kemper just rocks so hard!!!

Thanks again.
