Hi Gerald... O,
i think it would be better with no backings and when you didnt normalize with cubase. The normalizing prozess pressed everything to one dB level and cuts the headroom of a profile. I think its much better when you record every profile with the max of headroom, just a step bevore clipping. Than you hear the real difference between the profiles. I compared your freebee with some other profiles ( you know that commercial guy ) and your profile volume is much lower. Cant get real punch out of it ( just my 2 cents, dont want to offend).

I realy like what you do and the enthusiasm behind it, but the soundfiles and the freebee didnt catch me.
Whatever, you know i am more into the high gain sounds, next beer is up to me when we met again

thanks for the flowers. yuyu, the hi-gain fraction. After all, boosted or not, it still remains a no master volume plexi amp. no hi-gain here.
but punch, really? i mean, i get the hell of punch out of #4. Not? Have u tried a hi-output single coil? i think this comes really to life with a SC.
Anyway thanks, you know who you are. no hurt feelings here. I consider reamping the way you mentioned tomorrow, so maybe stay tuned. cu

With iphone earplugs sounded like
A=low-mids heavy
B=scooped
C=muffled
D=mid heavy

None sounded just like my cup of tea, but out of these would probably choose B for recording and D for live use.

thanx for listening btw. I prefer A and B.

Okay, here we have a blindfold test for ya. Please tell me which profile you like best.
I reamped the 4 bars at the beginning with 4 of my favourite profiles, with identical settings
in my DAW with cubase. De-activated everything. Boost and reverb is from cubase and identical
in all 8 tracks. Normalised every track. Done.

A or B or C or D?

24 profiles for 3.99? Bought 'em blind. cu

I am playing in a band in the style of "eisbrecher" now and i use my plexxi profiles only.
still no real friedman, but with the booster at '10" works fine. since the friedman is more or less
a tuned plexi, i guess.

eisbrecher can be found on YT and my band soon, one snippet is here

And with a video now. I used #7, live, no tricks. works like a real amp, in another song i play clean with the same profile,
volume knob is your friend.

You need mroe than one monitor mix - no guitar in the singer's mix.

How many monitors do the Reagonomis have when gigging? we had one where i was standing. (quintet) and that was the one with no guitar as this happenned.
(i left the band soon).

Isn't the point of using DI profiles yo use them with a real tube amp and guitar cabinet?And, using "Direct Amplifier" cabinets with a linear power amp and a real guitar cabinet?
I do not -- as my language is german -- understan it fully. If you find time: could you describe the chain more in detail. thx, paul

Quote from SpinnerDeluxe

I think thats just human and not always objective. Its more about brands. And its a kindof trap. Moneywise I often went into this trap - but finally discovered a super weapon against it, namely: A/B-ing! Record a track with what you call best FX in the world (it must be, was fu**ing expensive!) and then do it again with the inferior one, finetuned as close as possible to match the other.

Now for the funny part: as long as YOU will switch between those tracks and KNOWING which is which, you will clearly hear that BIG difference. If somebody else will randomly switch between A and B (blind A/B-ing) you will get lost more often than you liked to. Things are getting even worse when some decent audio engineer will do some EQ-ing on both tracks to fit a song better or to match them better.

This in IMHO one of the most important things, not only concerning effects, concerning everything. i always make markers in cubase for my wife so that she can play my
recorded profiles when i look to the other wall.

Still, i think the felt quality of the strymon effects are much much better and stand each and every Blindfold test. If KOS 5.x gets us nearer, i'd be a happy kemperite.

Important notice. I had to change the Terms&Conditions. From now on you will get only the 7 best profiles. Period.

If you are interested in tweaking i can send you a folder with 49 rigs. good and bad, even worse. The Story behind it.
Wrecks and Desasters, too. Just gimme a message on checkout or use the contact.

Ha ha ha! Too funny Gerald!

Seriously, please don't worry about any discounts or anything; this winter's just plain Hell for me and putting food on the table is testing my budget to the last cent, so I won't be buying anything music-wise 'til September or October... provided things improve by then. Besides all that, I've only got PayPal anyway, and I don't see that option on your site. Never mind, mate; it's just not an option right now.

I feel bad that you felt bad, mate. It's no big deal at all; I was just curious as to why I only saw German, and I therefore didn't realise I was on the wrong site 'cause I didn't understand the tabs. All very funny, really. To add to this "funniness", I was only looking for the free profile, which, now that I've checked the English site, I realise is on the RE, which you mentioned in your first post! How silly is this monkey, eh?

Oh, and I hope you don't mind that I've been calling you Gerald since I saw your name on the German site; I used to call you Geraldo, but it's Gerald, isn't it? Up to you of course, mate. Instruction required!

Thank you once again for the freebie.

You are welcome. The thing with my name is: official persons call me Gerald, friends my wife included Geraldo, i think you belong the the second category ...

My last word for today at 3 o' clock AM: i would like to open a user's corner or sth of that kind on my page. So:

you are most welcome to share ----- opinions and/or Music done with my Plexxy Pack.

Topic says it all. Google finds again more than the forum search. Anyway. Here is question. In case you buy or download a DI profile. Naked. without speakers attached.

What is

• the recommended method of testing it? I presume choosing one of your favourite speakers first. is it? i would do this, but i want to hear your opinion.
• okay, you tested it. raw as it is. let's say you have a kemper rack or powerhead. Do you leave it raw as it is for a rehearsal? or do just de-activate speaker simulation? after loading a speaker for yourself. i do not know, because i have a Kemper head and i ALWAYS go two ways. using a 1x12 at least plus the PA. this way i can hear myself, i had the most strange things happening. From: Oh, the FA man comes later, it will work. which it did not. Most funny thing: The singer said: Oh no, guitar in the monitors is a no go i cannot sing this way. that is what she said.
• do you need a speaker in the cabinet section or do you leave it empty? THX

Quote from Monkey_Man

I posted a snapshot in another of your threads, matey.

Ha! No, no, this is real good, translate my page to english with google, haha! This IS hilarious. One example:

What you can learn with me exactly and how the whole proceeds, is precisely on the instruction page explains. Means really:
I am going to explain en detail how i teach and the procedure of lessons on my "instruction" page.

Goodness, it's still a long way to Babylon 1.0 where we will speak in Mandarin and someone listens to it in Portugese -- real time, ofcourse. Ha!

Here is the website with the profiles --- Geraldo's Gear

Thank you for ordering, testing and commenting, folks. For those of you that have the pack:
do you think it is possible to blow a speaker with one of those strange profiles that were thought as a plus
in order to get the idea of how difficult it was to find the sole sweet spot of the beast. i mean honestly apart from other wrecks and desasters

@ashtweth My nuts are now in a warm water bath , i am okay i can cure my self as you know

am i responsible if someone destroys his speakers? i mean do you play DI profiles at full volume, have i misunderstood sth?
i always thought i DO NOT play DI profiles unless i add a speaker of my liking. Not?

Thx

Satriani version? That would be great!

i don think so. As far as i understood it in an interview, the satriani version has fewer options, cause Joe wanted it that way, i hope it is the
12 channel monster.

Quote from Monkey_Man

Finally!

You're gonna be judged on this one, mate; my brother eats, sleeps and breathes his JVM 410H. It's all he uses. If you can get a thumbs up from him, you'll be doing very well indeed; he's not liked any of the free Rigs on the exchange so far or the odd commercial freebie posted on the forum.

In his and my opinion, all channels need to be profiled at low, med and high-gain settings, and with minimal phase cancellation. This would obviously mean that the pack will be bigger than your usual size, but that's to be expected with all those channels.

IMHO, if you can avoid any scratchiness, you'll be halfway there. That's Nicky's Big Tip of the Day™, mate.

If anyone can do it properly, you can, Maestro.

Does that mean 12 or 36 or 48 essential profiles. Like this amp, too.

I am sorry for this misunderstanding. yo, @Monkey_Man this is indeed my official homepage.
and since i did not hope that australian students wanted to come to my home studio, THIS is in german only.
I am going to offer you 3 units for FREE, if you come the long way from down under.

Now seriously, i make a little bit of money to pay my rent and stuff by showing 12 year-olds the secrets of the Emin-chord.
And teaching a 50-year-old pilot from Cornwall the Sex Pistols, because he always wanted to do it when he was young.
Things could be better, things could be worse ...

In my signature there is the PROFILE SITE to be found, since there are many on tabs only here (goodness, the youth), i place the link here also.
If you would be so kind to forgive me and visit me here on GG (geraldo's gear) i would be very happy and make you a very special offer:

Download the PlexxyPack and you can buy in Australian Dollars, if you want 'em in the first place, ofcourse. AND you would have to go through
the hassle and do it manually which again could drive some one with monkey fingers mad.

Now, seriously, brother, i love you, do whatever you want, but get the heck out of here and visit my english only site. Have a nice day.

Hi there,

please use the profiles in the "Treasury" with care or not at all. Some of em seem to clip the Kemper into the dark red zone.
one user reported a problem with some of em. i think the cream profiles do not and cannot clip even with EMG active pickups. Please load the other profiles
on own risk, or check the output LED before playing them right out of rig manager. I'll see into this.
This note is only for the users that have ordered already, those will be removed in my next mails anyway.

Use those 7 in the cream folder, they cover any and every nook and corner this amp is capable of. Thank you!
