Righteous tone there, Nick. Looking forward to the pack.

Another really tasty set from Tone Junkie.

It depends what yer packin'.

The Soldano SLO cab sounds awesome on some of Guido's earlier profile sets too. Love it on the JTM lead patches for example.

Nice work Frank - sounds like a great amp too.

Sounds great to me.

Nice job with the Vibrolux profiles - much appreciated. I am intrigued by the mods - how did you find the sound of this modern reissue before and after the mods.

Suhr Badger.

Thanks for giving us the low down, Sharry. So when you say low/mid gain, am I right in thinking the clean/just breaking up sound is well represented?

There are 15 names listed on that page - is that a complete list of 15 profiles?

I must say that it doesn't surprise me that profile sets stimulate amp sales - particularly for rare/boutique amps. Many players, who otherwise would never get close to the amps, getting a taste for these amps via the KPA is surely going to generate interest in owning the real deal.

Nice work on the Vibrolux profiles. The mods are intriguing - how did you find the change in sound compared to stock reissue?

Just on the subject of the magic of these amps: I read a year or so back where some guys in some tube amp afficianados group got hold of one and tried to add some more modern features - to try to make it better and more up to date, I guess.

The first mod they tried was to take out the AC heater circuit for the tubes and put in a rectified and regulated DC heater circuit. Low noise etc - what's not to like? Well ... Hmmm. Turns out that the richness and "depth" of the amp tones took a nose dive - the magic of the amp kinda died. They analysis they came up with was that the intermodulation distortion between the 60 cycle voltage pulsing through the heater circuit and the audio signal was part of the tone of the amp and losing it was not a good thing.

Jim Marshall took the bassman circuit and ran with it with results familiar to anyone with a radio.

Stealth set is top shelf - really good profiles. I like the Suhr too - both working well with my LP. Thanks again for your great work and generosity toward this community.

The latest update sounds great with my LP. Much appreciated.

The Lowman has a great tone. More complexity and thickness than the Prince but both are good in their way. I would like even more clean and very low gain tones but the clean ones in this set were very good and the crunchier tones are excellent and would cover a lot of classic rock.

I gather the Beatles had a similar amp to the Lowman in the studio on the Abbey Road sessions and the sort of sounds you hear on Come Together, I Want You, The End etc are all there in this set.

Purchase link in your store points to Dirty Shirley at the moment. Shirely shome mishtake?

Great stuff on the MkIII - very generous as always.

Very nice profiles. Thanks for these.

Looking forward to the JMP. Demos sound sweet.

Can we buy the Diezel at the sale as a pre-release?
