Anyone lowering the definition on some of these? I get a phase thing on some or cocked wah tone- lowering the def seems to help.

As the CLR can be considered neutral i don't use output EQ.
Tweak at band levels and start with only a few profiles using the parameters mentioned above (rig EQ, definition, clarity, plus pre or post eq if needed).

This is sage advice. You have to tweak at band levels or you are wasting your time. I played a whole gig last night using just the TAF 1987x. Very minor tone stack changes only, no EQs post or pre. 4 patches at varying gain levels & a few effects. I do the same thing with a few other Marshall profiles & see which one I like for the room & I'm done. The new Plexi I thought I'd like better didn't get used as it was too bright at gig levels. I'll fix it later. You can spend hours on tweaking this box if you want to- I view that as both the biggest strength & biggest weakness of this box.

Yep, I agree, very big sounding- thx much!

Lol, I've got a broken neck & back from a bad bike accident so I'm with you on the Neo! Will pm you- I gotta get out of PA & actually looking at AZ! Thx!

Thanks Tim, I'll check it out! How do you like the CLR? I'm still using a K10 and feel like I may be missing some detail. Keep rockin!

Hey Tim- what did you youse for the talk box stuff on Rocky Mt Way? We play that one & what you're using sounds better than my rig

Very cool Tim! You did some nice profiles of the DS & the QR- I put them up there with the commercials- glad to hear you're jammin them live.

I bought the whole pack today and I'm totally happy with it, I didn't have the time to go deep into it, but I already love -besides CDS3 and Fargen- the JMP1, Aurora, Majesty and Maz 38 Sr. (I'm owning one, too). All profiles sound really well, seems for me the best TAF-pack until now.

What I like: the pure, authentic amp-sound without eqs and tweaks.

I immediately fell in love with the Marshall JTM1, what a pure and dynamic sound !!!

Thanks Andy for this great pack, I know there's a lot of work behind it....

+1 on the JTM! I was hesitant to buy it as its a 1w amp but Andy did an awesome job. Sounds very pure, thick & touch sensitive. Find I need to add a little treble for my LP. Treble Booster is nice out front for lead work! Thx for the discount Andy- picked up the Evil Robot & Goldfinger too!

I'm not a huge high gain guy- are there some lower & mid gain profiles in the pack? Always lookin for another Marshall!

Awesome clip-thanks! I could totally live with that PT tone. I've heard a few BEs and they do have a distinctive high end but a lot of mid punch and good lows. The profiles I've heard translate the high end characteristics well but seem to lack a bit in the low mids and bottom end. I'm not really a dark amp lover either & will admit to being treble deaf from 30years of Marshall stacks. Could be a tough amp to capture & mic picky. That being said, gonna buy these from Armin- his work is always good.

Awesome clip- another guy that makes me realize I've gotta practice more & tweak tones less! How's the bottom end on those profiles? So far the BE clips havent worked well for me & this being a 20 watt makes me wonder.

I've gotta go against the grain here- IMO the Friedman BE hasn't been captured to its fullest yet. Every profile Ive heard of the BE is very bright and thin. Im a huge fan of Andy's work but the TAF one is unuseable for me. Some of Pete's are OK but i found myself switching cabs, which helped but I hate doing that.

Haven't tried Andy's Dirty Shirley but there's some on rig exchange that are quite good.

Gotta try Armin's Pink Taco this week!

We need a good blond Bassman!

Looking forward to the Friedman also- IMO, no one has quite captured one yet. A lot of the profiles seem very bright & thin on the top end- please work your magic Armin!

I got 4 patches for our set (50+ songs) : clean, crunch, drive and lead all based on same amp (Diezel Vh4 from TAF)

Controled via midi with my Pod Hd500, 4upper switch programmed like this : C Slot (distorsion pedal), MOD , DLY and X slot (graph eq) as volume and mid boost for solos , expression pedal to control wah, 2nd expression as volume.

I don't use performance mode, only on browser mode, I'm feeling ok like this!

Lol, this is exactly my setup except I use a bank with the TAF 1987 Plexi or Soundside's VH4! I agree, seeing no reason to change.

Thanks for this- I have run into that problem a few times. The HD500 does a great job as a controller for me but it definitely has a learning curve & takes some patience

Agreed- these are up there with the best- may be my fav Fenders so far

I'm a huge Social D fan & have been waiting for one of these too be profiled- like it a lot! Gotta try it with P90s! If you could get one with a bit less gain that would be cool too! Thanks so much!

Yeah, a few crunch & lower gain would be great. Thx so much for these!

I've got this one rig that I shouldn't have- very famous name I can't divulge or my family's life could be in danger. Played it once at a gig. Massive sounding yet you could hear every note. Rhythm sounded like hounds of hell let loose & leads like angels crying. Dudes were running up to the lightbox trying to poke their nasty, unprotected USBs in the slot. The club's ex-special forces bouncers barely held them back while I booked. I uploaded it to the stick & put a USB lock on that I can't even get to- I don't need that kind of stress!
