Title says it all.

I want "this" tone. Listen with phones. I haven't heard any profiles that have "this" level of mojo. Listen to the woody tones in his hammer ons and how that signal snaps with natural compression when he digs into the first high note in that classic blues lick he starts playing around with at 0:27. Those chords at 1:01 are so warm in the way that they break up - wow. Listen here to how the accent strums have a bit of punch which make that spring reverb sound so perfect with those speakers being driven in that cabinet. Hendrix tone in spades.

In this video he engages the wah at one point and obviously the spring reverb is also a big part of it but I can add those via pedals that I own. I would love to see how close the profiler could get to capturing the nuances and steal the sole of this amp.

Check it...

The first benefit that I could see is that if you had your own dirt pedals that you like to run into your rigs, you could stack them into any rig you like and then profile it either the second profiler.

HS8 = Great
HS8 + Matching Yammy sub...... "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

I'm curious how those who have been primarily using DI profiles through power amp/real cabs feel compared to using 3.0 profiled versions. I know that we've had a few who regularly comment when the DI subject came up.

Any chance this is Dave Fox? If so gang, Dave is an effect pedal "legend". Captain Coconut owner here.

I personally would swap it with the new one once it arrives. I don't know if anything changed but know that some of us have LEDs that have gone out. I have one single LED out but haven't bothered even looking to getting it fixed. Maybe the newer ones have addressed this which might be worth getting the new one. Others may be able to comment on this.

Till sort of blazed the trail when it comes to focusing attention towards high quality cab files. I haven't even downloaded 3.0 yet but I'm wondering if the results are as good as reported that we'll really start to "build" more rigs from DI profiles and high quality cab files. I know that we can swap out cabs now and I think most of us probably have Tills cabs that he put together but most of the time I pull rigs (typically commercial ones but not always). Now I'm wondering if we'll start to see a bunch more DI profiles than we use to and a bunch more high quality cab files from 3.0 rigs.

Is this a reasonable thought or am I missing the benefits of 3.0. I have a couple amps but I don't have the studio wizardry/equipment that Andy, M Wagener, M. Britt, etc. have accessible to them. It wouldn't take much for me to do a DI profile however that I could audition with great cabs as a result of 3.0.

Thoughts?

Impressive. Great singing and playing. What an example of a simple clean tone that is very difficult to find anyone who can nail it - you sure do come close and I think a big part of it is excellent touch in playing! Nice work.

Area 51 here loaded with 5 position range, quack and growl controls, if interested.

Yummy!

So is there a way to tell what number we were to the forum?

Yep, click on Members below the site graphics :)[/quote]

Hmmmm....??? I must be blind. I go there, find me and can see when I joined but not what order I was in all those that joined??? I'm sure I'm just missing something?

I love your signature, BB

Thank you brotha!

Ps - Was in The Shoe on Saturday for for a weekend trip into your neck of the woods. Place was oddly quiet until the 4th.

Looper after the profiler takes away my ability to use SPDIF to record a perfance using my looper.

Not sure how this took a nose dive but I too am in the Strymon camp. Their pedals are top shelf in my opinion. I received the Deco yesterday and got to spend a little time with it last night. I have several of their pedals including Mobius>TImeline>Big Sky. My first impression running it last in the signal chain (in the KPA effects loop - stereo - mod slot) is that I loved what it was doing to the delay and reverb trails. First off it just makes everything warm but in a very organic way that is tough to describe. Obviously there are many controls but I was playing with the Timeline's echo into a plate reverb on the Big Sky and the delay and reverb trails seemed to be lifted (pushed) a bit due to the Deco's saturation setting. When set lightly the saturation setting seems to add body/mids and take away the top end - again, very warm. The flanging and slapback effects were as good as you would expect from these guys. I can't remember how I set it up but the wobble was mild and it really had a nice tape effect going on. Good stuff!

It's more versatile actually: when you turn the guitar volume down, your cleans (can) still sound loud

I'm very familiar with turning down volume to get more versatility but the level of volume you get in doing this is very dependent on the pickups and, more specifically the wiring. My 335 (copy) - awesome for this. LP - great. Old deluxe strat with bleed circuit - worked great. Vintage styled strat (no bleed) - big loss of tone/drop in perceived volume. I'm not trying to solve this from happening at all or suggest that distortion sense would even help in that regard. What I'm doing is aiming specific guitars that I tend to play at low gain (primarily) in a way that I'm dropping the distortion floor across the board a little which I feel allows a little more dynamics. I don't want to do this on my SE Santana or my LP because I rock more with them but I don't find myself dialing up high gain for my Strat or Gretsch and lowering everything gives me more enjoyment. Just a suggestion to consider.

I think it was you my friend - thanks for mentioning this. I actually remember the comment about sounding more like the clips with the distortion sense decreased and I agree.

I use to/still do wonder if some of TAF profiles we done using guitars with the volume backed off a little - especially ones with a treble bleed circuit where you wouldn't hear the treble decrease when lowering the volume. This would certainly add to the confusion if you feel, like I that the clips sound like lower gain. Obviously if my pickups are higher or hotter then the clips would have less gain. Andy, if you see this - please comment re: whether your clips ever using guitars with the volume backed off or at they full volume on the guitar? Thank you.

I can't remember, nor can I seem to find a post that I thought was from this summer where someone preferred turning down distortion sense and (I believe) locking it this way. At first I thought, this is odd. The only "sense" controls that I've used are on Clean Sense and that was to try and level the volume between clean and distorted rigs and then saving a setting for each of my guitars so that they are all relatively close to one another in terms of perceived volume.

I "primarily" gravitate towards low gain profiles that are very dynamic. I certainly like cleans and mid gain as well but really like profiles that can reach into both clean and dirty just by how I play. Just for the heck of it I gave turning down distortion sense a try. I experimented with locking it in place anywhere from -2 to -8. When you play with this, some profiles seem to get the life sucked out of them as you take the setting further negative from 0 but overall... I sort of like it in the -2 to -4 range. On one hand I think it is sort of like lowering your pickups a little away from the strings but not exactly - and in a good way. The effect I've found is that many profiles leaning away from clean and more towards mid gain end up getting a little more dynamics to them, which as I explained is a plus for me. You do have to be careful because some profiles do get a little sterile because their EQ's were set based on a certain level of distortion but what I'm learning as I experiment is that there are certain guitars - single coil strats, my Gretsch w/ TV's, my Jazzmaster, etc. that I tend to play different kinds of music anyway than I would with my solid body humbucker equipped guitars so leaving distortion sense alone on the guitars that I tend to rock out more on is fine and coming down into around -2.5 or so with my single coil guitars has been a very nice combination. Having this unique setting on the profiler allows me to have a customized little tool to apply to all rigs that better suites specific guitars and the type of music and tones that I go after with those specific guitars. Furthermore, I don't feel one single bit like I'm not getting enough crunch when I play those guitars with the clean sense lowered and I have a higher gain rig loaded up so I don't feel like I can't reach anything on rigs that are meant to reach high gain.

I sort of doubt that applying this sort of concept across your guitar stable/input setting presets is what was in mind for this distortion sense parameter but it certainly is an effective usage to consider if you fit a similar mold.

Just wanted to share.

Peace,

Buckeye

DECO is on pre-order as of this afternoon BTW.

Yep I admit being on the verge of rules but that I would feel like a moron not to upload such fantastic rigs for the community and just keep them for myself

I never ran into problems with the original profilers since I did these uploads - we even have a mutual respect with M-pausio / Hell-G / Joptunes & others

I totally agree with this. I see no problem with anyone modifying profiles that I upload or if I upload someone else's stuff that I've modified - provided that 1) it is a free profile originally uploaded to the exchange, and 2) respect is given to the original author by some mention of their credit in the tags. I also think that if the original profile is obtained freely and outside of the rig exchange, consent should be granted by the originator before uploading the modified version. If consent is granted, the tags should pretty much remain the same other than some credit to note who modified the origin (but the original author's name should remain somewhere in the tags).

I like it.
