SOLUTION FOUND - SEE POST #14 BELOW

Hi all

Am setting up a KPA for a colleague who uses a Les Paul with a stock 57 PAF humbucker in the Bridge - his humbucker is stock and is quite vintage/low in terms of output.

Rock / Gain sounds are not an issue ..... but am having a REALLY hard time trying to set him up with some nice clean strummy / jangly cleans for his Les Paul Bridge PAF humbucker setup ( my ears are used to P90's and S/Coils )

Everything so far sounds flat, lifeless, dull ..... with his Bridge HB PAF pickup

I realize it will never sound like a strat or tele ........ but can anyone recommend any stock / free profiles that make a bridge PAF humbucker sort-of-jangly-and-strummy sounding for clean rythmn tones ?

Thanks,
Ben

here's my cent: put an eq on one slot and lower the 640 hz to something like minus 5 dB.

then go to my soundcloud and check the tests I made with both TAF and top Jimi profile...they are made with this trick...consider that those guitar youo hear have both gibson 495 pick ups, so much like the paf

The EQ can make the LP sound more like single coils. and can be switched out for humbucking mode..

That MB Princeton has been in my clean slot the first time I played it.....its never left.
It works across the board Paul Tele and recently upgraded Antiquity P90 loaded old Electra Phoenix. Just beautiful....

hey: we aim to please!

anyways, I found that 640 hz trick to be incredible myself. I have been using it in almost all my recording. and you've made it right by using it at personal setting (-3) so that you can accomodate your needs. indeed at minus 5 makes your humbucker fairly definite, while at minus 3 it kind of respect the pick up. overall the 640 hz cut serves another oustanding feature: it gets rid of the boxed sound sensation I have in several profiles and makes them more natural, not to mention the fact that it gets the guitar well audible in the mix

The one I am referring to are in Michaels Profile Pack 1.

I don't see a Princeton listed in Pac 1?

13 FT37 – Great boutique amp that reminds me of a beefed up Deluxe circuit but with 4
6V6 power tubes for more power. This is one of my favorite clean amps and it takes
pedals very well.
13 ER33 – 13’s take on an EL84 Vox-type circuit. With its trademark monster transformers,
this amp isn’t small or wimpy in tone. The clean sounds from this amp have a beautiful
Vox-y shimmer.
13 LD39 – This amp sounds like a cross between a Marshall and Hiwatt to my ears. There’s
a kerrang to the attack that I’ve never heard in another amp. It sounds great clean and
overdriven.
’58 Luxe – It was a pleasure to get to play through and profile this great vintage amp.
Even though it’s not the most versatile amp sonically, it has a cool flavor that fits some
songs perfectly.
’62 Band King – I bought this blonde brownface head for $40 in Austin in the late 80’s and
eventually had it fixed up and working as it should. I used it on numerous Lonestar
recordings as it sounded great cranked up on solos. This pack includes a clean profile
with one of my favorite Kemper effects, the rotary speaker.
’67 Luxe Verb – Blackface Luxe Reverbs have always been on my wish list so I was thrilled
to get to profile this nice vintage amp. This is what a Fender clean should be.
’72 Mars JMP – This is my trusty ’72 Marshall JMP 50w amp head. It’s been my favorite
British 4-input amp I’ve ever owned. Sadly, it was at Soundcheck in Nashville when the
great flood of 2010 hit and it was submerged in the Cumberland River for 4 days. With
the help of Mercury Magnetics and hours of hard work by Jamie (from 3rd Power), it lives
again and I think it sounds better than ever.
Crazy Eddie 5153 – This hard rock amp is pretty under-rated, but I used this amp live for a
while and even recorded with it with great results. It takes pedals like a champ in
addition to having great gain channels. Channel 2 (included here) is just an awesome
rock tone.
Silverface Lowman (aka “Assman”) – This silverface Fender lowman seems to have lost a
“B” after some mods it had done. It has that silverface clean as well as a cool gain mod
channel.
Bletchley Belcher 45 – Bletchley amps are made by one of the founders of Naylor amps.
The Belchfire is a take on a JTM45 but with more tweakable gain.
Bletchley Bomber 50 – Bletchley’s take on a JMP but way more versatile. The 4 inputs are
all voiced differently and gets a variety of flavors, but with a hint of the Naylor flavor at
higher gains.
Slant 6 – My favorite 6V amp’s clean channel is included here. Its clean tone is nice and
it takes pedals very well.
Lil King – This is Headstrong’s version of a blackface Prince tone verb. This is my go-to
amp for smaller in-town gigs.
Out of Matches SC30 and JJ30 – The original boutique flagship amp with that distinctive
tone that can’t be matched and the right (click) channel is one of my favorite overdrive
rhythm sounds.
Bangor 60 – Michigan’s Drive 60 is found in many session players’ arsenals. They have a
distinct edge to their sound and I’ve tried to include a variety of gain sounds in this pack.
Starry Night 30 – Mark Sampson’s newest incarnation of the unmatched circuit. Not
many of these around but it’s good to have friends with cool gear. It’s downright
Celestial.
Wrecker – This part-for-part clone was built by someone who worked alongside Ken
Fischer and looks and sounds like the real deal, with its touch-sensitive hot-rod gain.
Exit X50 – This hard-to-find amp sounds as different as it looks. Perhaps not the most
versatile amp, but it has a unique sound that sounds perfect for old Zeppelin.
Cal Texan – My personal favorite Petaluma amp and not just because it’s named
“Lonestar.”

Pretty funny that I also discovered the Princeton profile during "the week of Princeton."
i got a new strat and my old strat clean profile wasn't cutting it, so I started looking for a new one. The Princeton was the winner. Also, I usually don't like compression, but when engaged, the compressor sounds amazing.

Yeah it's actually the Princeton clone by Headstrong. I've a/b'd with some old Princetons and it's pretty much spot on tone wise so I just named it Princeton for my reference.

Mike, is it just not listed or am I going blind?

It's the Lil King in the first pack.

Geez, I am going blind. Thanks man!

I'll have to revisit this profile

This is my favorite profile of the whole bunch for my White Falcon. It sounds great! I also thought I was going crazy because I bought pack 1 when it first came out and it was listed as Princeton, I just recently went to look at it and couldn't find it. Now I know I wasn't going crazy! Awesome profile!

Is the free 'Lil Queen' profile from the Merged pack as good as the clean from pack 1?

I turned the gain to 0 added a slight boost and compression and it sounds really good but not sure the variety afforded in pack 1 profiles and/or how they would differ.
