Thanks for the clarification, G String. I'll put in my feature request to add this in the appropriate sub-forum then.

Hey kids,
I just came across this issue where someone posted that they uploaded several new patches to the Rig Exchange, yet I couldn't see them in Rig Manager (2.1.76). Once I closed RM and reopened it, the sync of RE happened and I could see the newly uploaded patches. Is there a way to actually FORCE RM to sync with RE while it's open, or do I need to close and re-open it every time I want that to happen?
Thanks,
Jeffro

Thank you!

My usual go-to statement about Marketing and Sales folks... "Wait, it compiled? SHIP IT!!! I already sold 1 trillion of these (by promising feature(s) that were never in-scope) and I'm about to make the company zillions!"
Needless to say, I've been on both sides of that particular fence in my ~30 years of working for Texas Instruments and the small company I work for now. Some of the things said about engineers have been true... and some of the stuff that the engineers say about Sales and Marketing also have basis in the truth, at least in my experience. That being said, since I'm an Electrical Engineer by degree but a certified PMP, I tend to side with the sparkies more often than not, though trying to wrangle them, keep them on schedule, under budget, and within scope, is a full time job.
We now return you to, "When does Summer end for Kemper" and other riveting discussions, whining, excitement, whinging, drooling, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Clip sounds great! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks, CF!

Justin,
Thanks again. I believe there was still interest in this thread from others willing to pay for your profiles, assuming they come out well.
I needed to actually close and reopen Rig Manager to get it to see your latest uploads/re-uploads of the old patches. Thanks, brother!

Happened to stumble onto this ancient thread when searching for "Born of Osiris" mentions... did this idea die on the vine, or did it ever come to fruition, caveman1 ?
Thanks,

Rig manager 3.0
or how to respond to people complaining about people complaining about complainers...
"They don't KNOW that we know they know we know! Joey, you can't say anything to them!"
"I couldn't even if I wanted to!!!"

Killer! Great rendition, dude! Thanks for sharing.

Have you tried a new set of valves? EL84 are awesome. If you don't crank the power amp the EL84 character shouldn't be quite as strong but still add some life to the pre-amp profiles. Failing that use the FX return on a head (borrow a mates if you don't have one).
If I was closer I would take the 20/20 off your hands in a heartbeat just to have one
And I would happily sell it to you. It's never met my expectations and basically just sounds like a blanket was placed over the cab when you throw any preamp single through it. Comparing it to the VHT 2502 or even Mesa's 2:90 is like comparing an AM radio to SACD recordings. As always, YMMV.
Thanks,
Jeffro

They can’t even pronounce their own language correctly. Much less criticize others. I mean.... they can’t say aluminum without adding extra accents and an i to get al-you-min-eee-um.
Ohhh... I thought you you were saying Americans said it that way. LOL We now return you to the actual topic.... I'm super jazzed for the Kone to be released to market so I can pop one or two of those into my Mesa Boogie Oversized Recto 2x12 cab and pair it with whatever power amp I end up getting for my Kemper rack.

Try getting them to explain why they pronounce processes "processEEZ". bwahahahaha
Wait, who the heck says "ProcessEEZ"? As a native-born American, I've never heard any "English as a first language" person say it that way in the States. It sounds like something you would hear one of the nerds on "Big Bang Theory" say if they were giving a lecture and affecting an English accent; "The processEEZ of protein synthesis within the gestating hippocampus takes place within the male species of this particular fauna."

You should be fine without a DI box but just remember that the preamp often sounds pretty lifeless without a power amp attached. Where possible I would try hooking your pre amp of choice up to a valve power amp and profiling with a DI Box on the speaker out of the power amp. The results are much more convincing and dynamic.
You might notice there is one commercial vendor with lots of Pre Amp packs like Triaxis, ADA MP1, Marshall JMP1 , Soldano etc. All of them were profiled with a power amp though for good reason.
Thanks, Alan. Unfortunately, the only power amp I have is a Mesa Boogie 20/20 power amp with EL84 tubes which basically, IMHO, "suck the life out" of every preamp I've ever used with it, hence my question. I have a couple different preamp packs from commercial vendors for the preamps you mention, but was hoping to do my own (Digitech GSP-2101 Artist, Mesa Boogie Triaxis, ADA MP-1, Fractal Axe-FX Standard), if for no other reason than my own curiosity. Plus, I thought it might be cool to offer the GSP-2101 Artist profiles, since I haven't seen anyone do those, yet.
I appreciate the feedback... I'd love to do as you suggest if I had a nice EL34 or KT88 power amp like a VHT 2502 or Engl or something. The EL84's basically have zero high end or "sparkle"... but if you want to do jazz with a 335, I'd imagine it would kick ass.

Thank you Jeff, I'm glad too. Now just trying to continue on with life and enjoy as much as possible.
Amen, brother!

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", but I wanted to double check. I own several preamps that I would like to profile at some point, but didn't know if a DI box was required to do so, or if I could just plug in and go with the preamp and the Kemper, alone.
Thanks,
Jeffro

Thanks for putting this together, nightlight !

Deepest condolences on your loss, ML. I'm glad you were able to spend precious time with her before she passed.

Please get to flogging that good for nothin' guitar player that you keep locked up in the basement until it's time to do sample videos of this pack, Guido! Some of us don't have a lot of patience when it comes to hearing your latest greatest creations.
Danke schoen,
