absolutely.
there are many great clean rigs in the Rig Exchange (even some Polytones), there JC-120 rigs in the factory content, as well as super clean Deluxe, AC30, Bad Cat profiles.
also, turning down the gain to zero on crunch profiles works really, really well.
and since you can sort all profiles by gain, they're easy to find.
the upcoming Vintage Sound Project Rig Pack will also adress cleans (as well as crunch sounds)

amazing!
and a Tom Waits quote! 
it reminds me of a ambient track did recorded a few years ago.
It's rain hitting pots and pans I arranged in the backyard (edited and looped) and a track of slowed down bird calls.
This was originally just recorded to get an idea of how the whole thing sounds in a mix with some riffs I took out of my songs and threw them together, but I really do like the end result. Give it a listen if you like aggressive guitars and blast beats:
sounds great! 
it's so hard to get an really anggressive yet tight sound - until now 
any tour dates?
I'd love to see that live!!! 
Thnx.. The feedback is for ending a solo,
you can add ducked long Hall reverb with a high mix to the ducked octave effect to make it even more dramatic! 
I can't recreate this problem with FW 2.2.1 with mono or stereo loop
can someone please send me recording of the problem & the rig with just a patch cable in the loop?
pm me
thanks
thanks for tagging the profile as 'plugin'

still not "back to topic" enough for me guys.
try harder!
p.s.
and for the record, it was Tres, not the Masons, haha... what a great book.
BTT now
Don - this is assuming that the sweet spot can still be had without one of it's components - which is rarely true.
sorry, I don't quite follow
which component?
An amp sweet spot with the gain on 5 will sound amazing with the gain on 5 - but that brilliant character is not necessarily brilliant for higher or lower gain sounds.
sorry, can't agree here.
profiling a simple single ended EL84 Amp, for example, at it's sweet spot yields a great crunch, but also lead and even clean variations that go way beyond what this amp could produce at the same relative gain settings can be had.
it keeps everything I like about the sound and gives me a wider perspective of it, if you will.
Just try lowering the gain to a usable (to me) 5.5 on a profile that used to be 9.0 - the profiler's insistence on linearity makes it sound stiff, unresponsive and under-saturated.
well you ARE using less gain, so less saturated is to be expected, under-satured means you turned the gain knob to far down
The Power Sag parameter can really change the way a sound feels, if you think it's to 'stiff', give it some more Power Sag.
Display MoreYes, it's like it was with the keyboard samplers.
1) One sample was used for the would keyboard range
2) Some samples were used e.g. one for each octave - and the two samples were blended for all notes between
3) One sample for each key was used
... I do it even today like this - by profiling each drive setting 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
And yes, it would be great to get only one 'multiprofile' as the result for all this.
I don't like this analogy, since it conjures up the limitations and sonic shortcomings of early sampling and links them to profiling which is nothing like a static sample.
pretty much all amps I played so far had what I would call a limited useable gain range (one of the reasons that multichannel amps have different designs per channel, not two, three or four times the same channel)
even on my single channel amps, one sounds like crap with the gain below 3.5 and the other one sounds nasty with the gain higher than 7. Why would I want these limitations in a profile?
Not all possible settings on an amp are desirable.
This is an exsample of what I call 'borderline collector's thinking'
good to hear - i think it only drops the Delay/Reverb, not other effects. Now, if you put Delay and Reverb in the X and Mod slots, I'm not sure if they'd get dropped or not. IE, I'm not sure if the mod setting drops the Delay/Reverb blocks, or all Delay/Reverb models in the Effects section.
delay and reverb effects are only available in the delay or reverb slots respectively.
it is true that on tube amps the gain setting (besides distortion) also affects the tone.
this leads to sweet spots in the amp's gain range.
profile such a sweet spot and you can vary the gain later on in the profile without losing that 'sweet' quality that first attracted you to this tone.
this is a huge advantage and previously virtually impossible to achieve in tube amps, even through an experienced modder.
Your output source needs to be master stereo - if it should be set to "stack" (I don't remember the exact options given for this parameter), there's no delay and reverb.
right, but X and MOD work.
what is the output you're using set to? Mod Stereo?
I would also like to remind everyone that the title of this thread is "Michael Wagener Rig Pack"
I don't mind a little OT if it's good natured or otherwise informative, but this is getting a little out of hand.
Don, put a profile on the RE with a ducked octive up that kinda sounds like feedback. I guess it would depend on how long you need to sustain the note.
great vibrato workout!
please check if you have locked the slots in the off state.

It sounded much better live. That sounds like it was recorded with TV effects mics. I was the audio tech on the stage that night. I wanted to buy a kemper after I heard the tones he was getting from his. Great player."
