Profiles for classic slide blues

    Hello, I'm looking for profiles/packs that suit for playing classic slide blues like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf etc. I'm interested both in distorted and acoustic sound, using an electric and a reso guitar.


    I understand that such profiles are not so popular here as metal profiles, for example, so I'll be thankful for any help

    Here are some great old and forgotten vintage amp profiles you might like.


    I personally like a Marshall JTM 45 set on low gain for a jazzy bluesy tone (there are some on the RE). There are also some nice old Fenders out there but I find they are harder to get the more boxy type tone that I think of with those old recordings. I'm sure you could eq in that more midrangey tone, but I haven't tried.

    Try Bill Ruppert's VG99 Dobro and Kay Model 703 1962 rigs. For a more compressed country tone you might try my JTM30 Clean rig.

    It's not clear if you only look for free profiles.

    A version of Armin's 52 Deluxe is one of my core "go to" rigs :thumbup:

    I despise self advertising as its lame, but do search for "redplate" on the RE there is some good ones there. (by a user on this forum) - and of course there is the great Morgan20 that is good for slide guitar.
    Basically ignore any Marshall based amps, Slide + Marshall does not work well. - so your options are in line with..
    Carr, Toneking, TwoRock, Fender,vox, redplate etc etc..


    Good luck in your quest for tone.


    Give "jimmi's" profiles a shot too.
