I use humbuckers (Dimarzio Evolutions and Crunchlab) for 90% of my recordings and my single coils for country stuff I do for my buddy (heard above). The Queen of Reality TV song above has reached the final screening to be used on the TV show Nashville.

Here is one more for you (I realize these are country music and not the style you listed above), this one uses all Michael Britt profiles available from update 3.0 and using my Tele on all tracks. Point is...you can get nice, big full tones even with single coils and low gain profiles

Here is a good example of using my profile on the rig exchange I mentioned above with a Telecaster on one side and a strat on the other side both using single coils in the bridge position, but the double tracking effect adds the grit & beef you are looking for.

Try double tracking everything (one track left, another track right) on studio recordings. You'll be amazed how much bigger your sound gets. You can also dial in another track (mono in the center and quieter in the mix) with your LP in the chorus sections for an even bigger sound

I don't want to re-post one of MW's profiles to the rig exchange but you can get it here if you like:

Would you say that a higher output pickup was used for it too? Humbucker/high output single coil?

I'd say that tone is a humbucker all day long and it is double tracked left & right. Don't be fooled by what he used in the video. He also mainly used a Mesa Studio preamp, crown poweramp and Marshall 4x12s on Nevermind. The guitars were his Mustang and a Japanese Strat both with Dimarzio Super Distortion humbuckers.

PhilUK84, try out one of my Mesa presets. It's on the rig exchange under user D.Randall and called RECTO/2:90 - 20. It works great for single coil grit with my strat and cleans up nicely with the guitar volume knob

Here is MW's ADA MP-1 with my tweaks to get it closer to that Nuno tone, Eltzejupp let me know what you think

Huh, this is interesting. So you basically lifted the ground (pushed the button to the in position) and the squeal was gone?

Awesome!

Did you get yours through Eurotubes too?

I also have the half E34L & half 6L6GC power tube set up with JJ tubes

I'm not going to have this amp set up with the KPA again anytime soon, I typically run direct with IEMs, this was a one off gig I was sitting in with another band. I do know I eliminated some of it by turning the presence on the 2:90 amp down from 1/2 to about 1/4.

Yes, high gain profiles made from my Mesa rig. I had it happen with three different guitars. One with a DiMarzio Evolution and the other two had DiMarzio CrunchLabs, all pickups work fine with my Mesa Preamp through the Mesa 2:90

I used my KPA with my Mesa 2:90 tube amp & 2x12 this weekend for the first time in a long time and got this as well. Ran the KPA direct to the PA and ran monitor out to the tube amp (with the cab stack off the Mon out) for monitoring on stage. I am using the current firmware and never got this high squeal when I used it a couple updates ago. I mainly got it while trying to get natural feedback/sustain or if I pulled up the volume knob quickly from 0-10 it did the squeal.

I have re-uploaded all my profiles, the ones I use live with tweaks made from the original uploads and my Remote Switch presets saved. Let me know if everyone else sees my Remote Switch I-IIII layouts in these.

I want to explain why I think scenes are important.
We have no fixed Setlist and have to change Songs in few seconds, so one Performance for each song is no option for me. Don't wont to think about ordering Performances for 60 Songs without an Editor.
It would be perfect to get all sounds from on Performance. Spezial sounds can be stored in other performances.
My Setup should be:

Slot1: clean
Slot2: crunch
Slot3: heavy crunch
Slot4: distrotion
Slot5: heavy distrotion

So I have from clean to high gain all Sounds in one Performance. To get Effects and a Solo sound as well, Effectslots have to be like this, for example:

I: Reverb
II: Chorus
III: Delay
IV: Delay, Reverb, Eq, Booster

So I can every Sound change from Rhythm to Solo by pressing IV, and also have Variation for each Sound.
This can only be realized with Scenes, because Reverb and Delay is used in two several Effectslots.

At the Moment it can only be assign to one Switch. When reverb is on I, it can’t be on IV at the same time.

This is my EXACT same circumstance for playing live.

So once again my proposal / question:

Can each effect-slot-switch be programmed with two commands (by one press)
1. all effects off
2. programmed effects on

If this was possible, then 4 effect scenes per rig would be possible.
Wouldn't it?

Seems to be a little complicated. Here is the scenario I was trying to get in performance mode:

Clean preset with verb

1. Switch I: Chorus & Delay

2. Switch II: Phase & Delay (same delay as switch 1)

Apparently you can't have delay on more than one switch unless it's already "on" with the preset. The verb on my preset stays on throughout the switching

Right, the Profiler/Remote isn't supposed to make things more work. You get your go to clean/crunch/distortion/solo sounds down and then its a matter of managing the effects

Quote from Gary_W

I don't have my remote yet so I may be missing a deeper point. And I agree that our differences are all good :). but for me.....

I'd set one performance per song. That gives you 5 'scenes' per song which avoid tap dancing and you can then turn individual fx on and off on each. I can't think of anything I'd be capable of playing that would need more but then again I'm struggling to learn the mystical 4th chord

The things to make this approach easier would be an editor to name / sort performances.

Agree also with with previous points about stomp delays and stomp reverbs. And as CK is reading this thread I'll mention 'spring reverb please'

What confuses me is how do you guys get away with loading a performance bank for each song? My band plays over 100 songs, approx 40 songs a night and the setlist changes each night and sometimes it changes on the fly. I could have a 4 count by the drummer to try and find a song that is buried somewhere in the performance slots, that's just not realistic for a live band.
