high gain-sounds with dropped down tuning, hard to tell... I prefer No2, sounds more like a "real" amp, but I have one suggestion: take away about 90% of the gain and record another two tracks.

Can the diezel hit metal territory? I did a record once which the producer combined the VH4 and a Mesa Dual Rec and id love to be able reproduce it. Im pretty sure both amps were set pretty hot, hard rock bordering on metal.
Sure, Diezel and Rectifier are metal monsters... but they're much more flexable than most people think. For my opinion the VH-4 is one of the best amps ever built and the Rectifier's got this awesome deep mid-boost. -
Guenter
Have you see Peter Fischers studio, or Uwe Bossert's studio?
What equipment are Armin and Andy using...I haven't seen any photos of either of their studios?The studio alone is not a guarantee for good profiles, if you have a lot of knowledge and experience (and nice neighbours..) you also can create good profiles in your living room.
Liking a profile is also very subjective, there's just one profile from Peter Fischer I use (Soldano SLO 100) and not one profile from Uwe Bossert. In fact I just use a few Kemper-presets, a lot of Armin's profiles (I don't now his studio, but for me they are the best commercial ones), some from TAF (even the profiles are made in a good studio, for my taste there's too much editing done afterwards) and of course I use a lot of my own profiles.

It's just my experience, besides the Morgan 20 I didn't find any good profiles at rig exchange.
Many guitar-players have neither the studio-equipment, nor the knowledge to create good profiles, the whole profiling-chain has to be strong:
amps --> guitar-boxes/speakers --> mikes --> channelstrip / mixing desk --> studio monitors --> room-acoustic (should be as linear as possible) --> your ears
Just to mike up a guitar-box is not that easy, I spent 50% of my life in studios and I know what I'm talking about. Most of the rig exchange-profles aren't done professionally, that's why commercial profiles from soundside.de or TAF often are the better solution for many guitar-players.
Besides the profiles of my own amps (Boogie MK2, Dr. Z Maz. Sen., several Marshalls, THD Univalve, Fender Blues Junior) I just use Armin's profiles and a few of TAF and Kemper and of course the Morgan 20.

I haven't, not even loaded in fact......assumed they would have too much gain for my liking so I haven't tried......any particular profiles of those particular amps you like Guenter?
Too much gain? Listen to this, both guitar-sounds are Diezel VH-4-profiles:
The Diezel is wonderful for clean and crunch-sounds, not just for high-gain, for me the VH-4 often sounds like a Dumble (Robben Ford, Larry Carlton ect.). Armin's Boogies are very versatile, too, I just played a George Benson-type of sound (Rectifier-profile) for a house-track.
-
Honestly: who needs 2883 rigs? My experience with rig exchange is mainly the delete-button....
I would suggest to buy some really great profiles and profile by yourself. To listen to thousands of rigs and finally find a few useful ones is a lot of wasted time.

I have Amplitude in my iPhone
Would be hard to be a substitute on a big venue-tour..... My substitute right now is a POD HD 500 with a similar setup, on the next tour there will be a second Kemper.

Funny. Armins Plexi and his Lonestar are my 2 personal favorites - love them both.
Have you tried the Diezel VH-4 and Boogie Roadster from Bundle IV? You will probably like them, too.
-
Personally I think it's a pretty good set of amps.
But the ranking is weird...
-
I think the Plexi is much better than the Lonestar, but that's how it should be: everybody can pick his own favourites, because everybody has a different taste, different guitars and most important: different ears.
-
Seems to be a joke.... Hughes & Kettner No.1 and amps like the Soldano SLO-100 on No.12. Laney and Blackstar are better than Matchless and Two Rock?

Haas-effect? I've never heard that somebody used my name for an effect....

Today I went through all my Kemper-profiles and I noticed, that the most profiles are from Armin.
My favourites are:
Bundle 1: '57 Fender Deluxe (03), Marshall JVM410H (05 & 33), Elmwood Modena M60 (06 & 27), Damage Control Womanizer (09)
Bundle 2: Vox AC30 (12), '52 Fender Deluxe (17)
Bundle 4: Mesa Boogie Rectifier (26), Diezel VH-4 (29), Mesa Boogie Roadster (30)
Bundle 5: "Plexi" Marshall JMP 1959 (34 & 35), '52 Fender Deluxe (36)
Bundle 6: '65 Fender Princeton (39), Marshall JCM2000 (40)There are also great profiles from other amps (Genz Benz, Boogie Lonestar, '57 Fender Harvard and more), but these are the ones I love most. Personally I prefer the classic amps (Fender, Vox, Marshall), but the Diezel, Rectifier, Roadster and Elmwood are very good, too. With this collection everybody should get a wide range of excellent guitar-sounds.

Great playing, singing and programming !!!!
-
V chilled and some great playing. Enjoyed the drumming too ( how often do guitarists say that I wonder? )
Neil
Thanks Neil, but I'm not a drummer, the drums are programmed. The rest (guitars & bass) of course is played live. -
Beautifull! But I See myself just Outside of New Orleans in a small town on a wooden Deck in the Heat of The sundown holding a Glas of Bourbon on three cubes of ice and listening to your blues
I would prefer to be at the place you describe instead of constant rain and 9 degrees..... By the way, the weather in New Orleans at the moment: sunny and 30 degrees...

After weeks of sunshine November came back in May here in Germany, there's only one thing I can do: playing the blues....
I use a brandnew profile from Armin, the little Fender Princeton (Prince M04 BlueDrive), no eq oder compressor added, just a little reverb from Cubase.
I played my Tokai "Love Rock"-Goldtop (2 Lindy Fralin P90's).

Damn i bought today the Armin plexi profile, "Marshall JMP 1959 HW" number 35! and i am ASTONISHED!!! finally i have found a great marshall profile! fits my gibson les paul custom BEAUTIFULLY!! and surprise for me was the raw profile is the best capture i remember, i checked the parameters, nothing tweaked, it just means great work at source!! wow its the best €20 euros i spent on profiles . And i have bought many other comercial profiles from others, but their marshall sounds lacked always something, was never happy . i am REALLY HAPPY NOW!!
So a big thanks ARMIN, there is magic on your profiles! . I will buy some more ! i became a fan!
Cheers
That's exactly my experience, Armin's Plexi ist the best Marshall-profile I heard so far, there's just one negative thing about it: I wished I would have had Armin's Plexi-profiles earlier... (I'm in the middle of producing a solo-album).The prize-discussion I can't follow anymore, 20 EUR are too expensive for 43 awesome profiles of a handwired Plexi? I don't get it....

So far the best Deluxe-profile I heard (and use it all the time) is the Fender '57 Deluxe from Soundside.de (Bundle 1, Pack 03). There's also a liitle demo from me, all guitar-sounds are '57 Deluxe-profiles, here's the direct link:
