The Amp Factory profiles (TAF) appreciation topic :-)

Yes agreed some of the best profiles out there

I have bought everyone of andy's profiles. Not sure that I will ever use all of them but he is such a nice guy and I want him to continue to keep looking for and profiling great amps. I have used his service much like a degree in 'ampology'.

Yep IMO the best out there and they really make the Kemper come alive!!

I come back to Pack 6, Pack 8 and Pack 2 a lot. But there are a few from all of them. Mostly because a particular amp is one I use to get a classic sound. TAF has a high ratio of 'hits' in a hit-or-miss field of commercial profiles.

He allows a lot of the individual ones to be purchased instead of packs so that's a treat if you're frugal.

marshall plexi '67........one of the amps I used on my record. guess it is even on the rig exchange to prove everything andy gives to us, free or commercial is an absolute outstanding.

99% of my playing uses either Gilmour Hiwatt or Tweed Pro w/Jensen 2x12 profiles. And I just recently started using one of the Ampeg SVT profiles for Steely Dan's Reelin' In the Years. I've always hated that tone but am starting to appreciate how blissfully ratty it is.

Andy makes some killer profile! I love that Hiwatt for sure. Where do I find the Ampeg profile? I play Reelin in my band and it would be fun to get a similar type of tone for that one tune.

They're part of TAF's free bass pack: http://www.theampfactory.com/downloads/bass-profiles/ . I made some tweaks (including adding a stomp, I forget which one) to better match the record.

Thanks Ben! Normally I don't need to mimic tones but it would be fun to give it a shot. Thanks for the help!

Dude, when it comes to mimicking tones you can't beat TAF profiles as a starter.

I've tried over and over to use others and only once has a free exchange profile been best at one application, the rest were TAF. All the rest, it's not even close.

So, yeah, if you know a recording was using a certain amp and Andy has profiled it, start with that and tweak from there. If you have the right guitar, the amp/pairing with properly matched gain is so killer true it's inspiring. Done it enough times that I'm now used to it being true.

I don't know if folks realize how true many of these profiles are to the real amp.

The Fender Twins from Andy are my profiles to go.... They are sounding great with my SC PU's, plug and play, no tweaking necesarry!

I'm another fan of Andy's work. Absolutely stellar!

My top three profiles are still all from Andy:

1) Evil Robot
2) JCM800
3) ZWreck
