Post your favorite low to mid gain profiles. Where you can get clean to mean in one profile.

Glowing_Tubes · Sep 12th 2013

I see TONS of high gain stuff here and that's great but I live in the low to mid gain territory which can be a little tricky to get just right.
I just came across a Marshall bluesbreaker profile by Ballantine. I believe its CR Mar Bluesbreak in title. He's got 4 total that range from clean to grit.
To me this profile sounds wonderfully open and clear. Not too much high end sizzle, just enough breakup for both lead and rhythm playing.
Highly recommended.
I also like the Chief Dirty CU29. Nice.

What are some of your favorite low to mid gain profiles?
Post them here. I'm always looking for more.

Try some of my Egnater profiles and my GB 18 Watt profiles. They've gotten good ratings so far and are not really high gain. They are profiled with neutral EQ. I have found they require only small tweaks to dial in to my tastes.

How about a Friedman Dirty Shirley? Dirty Shirley – Take One

I play a tele with single coils. I've been experimenting with distortion in the stomp slot and a Timmy and Tubescreamer in front of the Kemper. The green scream gets pretty close to my tubescreamer when I AB them, but I really wish there was a Bass/Treble OD like the Timmy in there. My current favorites from TAF:

Overall Favorites:
Toneking Galaxy Push (AF4)
Gibson Bass Amp Cranked (Vintage and Rare)

Vox-ish:
Matchless HC30 Push (AF1)
Matchless DC30 Push (AF6)

Fender:
61 Super C1 Cln6+ (Fender Toolkit)
58 Pro C3 Clean3 (Fender Toolkit)

Marshall:
Marshall 1987x Clean+ (AF2)

Take a look at the CREAM JTA 45 (older rigs) with this great great gain course
Then check Conford Harlequin 10:00 and 14/17.
Also try at our JTM 30 ( Zappledan and mine ) for something more twangy and good low gain range.

This was my first thought as well.

For my money the Bogner Goldfinger from TAF, is just awesome for this

+1 - As good as the Morgan is, the Goldfinger's better IMHO

Glowing_Tubes · Sep 15th 2013

I have the TAF goldfinger and I do like it but I don't love it.
The Morgan is more open and natural sounding to my ears.

Drwiddly · Sep 15th 2013

.... and there's the rub (and why the KPA is so good) - we all like different things so whilst a good profile is going to be liked by a lot of people, several good profiles will divide opinions. Some times a change of cab or eq can alter things dramatically and bring a rig to life. I found this with the TAF Rivera Knucklehead profiles which I was a bit unimpressed by. I tried a few different cabs and really like them now.

It's all good.

So true. Then there is trying a different guitar and it all changes again.

Was enjoying a dirty Shirley this morning with my tele. Its a beautiful thing.

With a Tele try the TAF 1969 Deluxe Reverb. (TAF - Teeny Tiny Feet)

Ah yes been trying that 1 myself today after seeing it recommended on here, been using my USA Lonestar Strat and wow it's one amazing profile definately up there with my favourites.

Hallan · Sep 15th 2013

I like these very much: set of profiles DrZ Route 66 by David Bradshaw + Reinhold profiles by SEffren + Blankenship profiles by Ptbarnum

Hallan · Sep 16th 2013

I would say all profiles of SEffren are worth checking..

These are badass for Tele and Strat - some of my favorite profiles you've put together here..

I have tons of Soundside and Amp Factory stuff.... but these are what I was looking for. ( I realize one of these is Amp Factory )

EDIT: After trying the other ones in this thread....all of the recommended are killer.... saved me from trolling through the rig exchange....

Thanks to all ~

The commercial ones I really like are the Mesa Tremoverb from AF6 and the Statesman from Soundside

dhaefi · Sep 17th 2013

I love the TAF Dr. Z Carmen Ghia, the Blues profile.
it's probably a little bit over mid-gain when on full-volume

also the Bassman profiles (several from TAF) do this job pretty well on my side
