I've bought the Profiler Stage to see, if I could replace that OX box with that. After all it's very intriguing to just turn that relatively small device, play and even home-record stuff, without a hot tube amp in the room. So far, the OX box is the winner. Am I missing something?
Ok, I'm stupid... I was clearly missing something. First of all: I had set the input gain of the return path too low. Moreover, after profiling my amp again, last night, I spend a couple of minutes refining, playing especially those licks and chords, I felt that were lacking bass response and attack (strat, position 4). The weird thing is: The profile sounds and feels better than my amp now. So, there'll be a used OX Box on Reverb soon.
Lessons learned:
1.) not only RTFM, gather as much infos about profiling as possible. It helped me to watch a couple of videos from guys like Rabea Massad, how they profile their amps
2..) it takes more than one round of profiling
3.) The refining process seems to be one of the few entities, that actually likes listening to your playing habits and wants to hear as much as possible to learn from it. ;P
I still feel awkward.
Cheers
