OK...so the day has come where I, like so many others, have too many good profiles. I must say, it is a nice problem to have. But still a problem nonetheless.
So I've been thinking about a new way to deal with this and want to get some creative thoughts from the peanut gallery. I love the idea of having a variety of amps to choose from and when I want to play a certain amp, I can dial in that amp. I find I like many profiles of some amps and only 1 or 2 profiles of other amps (from the same rig uploader of course).
What I'm thinking about doing is to start identifying which amps sound good with my Gibson Studio with its Burstbucker Pros for the kind of music I like to play. I might even do the same with my Squier Stratocaster, but I really don't play this guitar anymore.
The idea is that some amps just won't work well for my setup/taste without a lot of tweaking and frankly there are too many great sounding rigs to warrant such tweaking. Of course I would have to try a few different uploader's rigs to "blacklist" an amp...but nonetheless, it would be nice to know which amps aren't a good fit for me just the same. For the amps that do work, I would still check out new uploads to see if they improve on the sound for me. I probably wouldn't keep a lot of one-off rigs where only 1 or 2 profiles of a rig sounded good unless it is truly exceptional.
To do this, I would put together a spreadsheet of amps to manage what I've tried and liked/disliked for various rig uploaders in addition to the cabinet/mic used.
One wildcard in this is the cabinet as it can be swapped (and to a lesser degree the mic). There might be some amps that sound bad to me through one cab/mic setup but sound good under a different. I figure by trying a few uploads, I can account for this.
Anyway...not sure if anybody has tried this approach. Would be good to know. Feedback welcome!
