Hi Rob/All

@Robbert

I just saw the demos great you have a LP and Strat sound demos,
are the profiles labeled for Strat and LP my friend?

Hi Ash,

All profiles are suitable for Strat and Les Paul. I always spend a lot of time getting the microphone placement right for both kinds of pickups. A neck humbucker should not sound muddy and a bridge Strat pickup should not be too trebly. The profiles should sound great with any kind of guitar (I test them with Les Paul, Strat, Tele, ES355 and PRS). It is of course also depending on personal taste and you may like some profiles better with a Strat or a Les Paul.

The Soldano is great. The Plexi is pretty dark sounding and almost all profiles have quite a lot of gain. Personally I prefer the 1974X

Hi,

The Soldano, Egnater and Brunetti are very good on humbucker pickups. All others requires, for my point of view, a single coil PU (passive) to hear a difference with others profiles you can find everywhere.

Thanks Rob and ChristopheSeyler, i rely on this info for packs man most of us do!
picking up the single coil stuff now will get the Humbuckers later

Be sure to try humbuckers as well. IMHO humbuckers sound great on most of my profiles.

Yes... Sorry rob, I spoke for myself with my Emg pickup.... not really the best choice for your bunch of vintage amp.

That explains why you prefer the profiles of more high gain amps. Interesting that your results with those amps are so good, because I don't use active pick-ups at all. I profile everything with 57/08 PRS pick-ups and test with Throbak humbuckers and different Strat pickups (Abigail Ybarra's and some other custom shop pickups).
But EMG's with a vintage 62 AC-10 won't sound good either. So I'm not surprised that you prefer those profiles with single coils. Glad to hear that you hear the difference with single coils though!

Have fun!
