Already we can have delay and reverb pre and/or post the amp - the flexibility for ambient sorts of sounds is there already with 5.6 - and more improvements on the way. What's not to like!

Had a bit of a go at drop 14. PJ 2,4 and 6 all had a little less gain and a lot more clarity and they worked really well for me with single coils. The creamback profiles are reasonably dark profiles - seemed maybe a little too dark with EMG SAs and 11s on the guitar - but with brighter guitars like a tele or a Luke III say they work well - nice balance without being overly harsh. Lighter strings tend to be brighter also.
I think the BE sounds great when the gain is not too high. I have really liked the lower gain profiles from some other vendors like MF and I'm glad to see you mining that seam here.
Had a crack at these with the LP bridge pickup - very happy. The G12C profiles sound awesome with the LP. Again 2 4 an 6 were best for me with the Jack - love the clarity. The creambacks are very pleasing again with the LP. The 1e sounds awesome for single line but I prefer the other 3 for riffing. I see that you have comp and soft shaper on for 1e - sounds better for me playing riffs with those off but lead lines at the 12th fret sound good with them on.
The V30 profile is brighter and sounds pretty good to me. -
Great playthrough - as usual. I loved your Mk4 set so these'll have to join the family right away I guess
-
Yeah - similar sort of settings for me - stereo widener and delay + reverb works well on headphones particularly. The breakup of the BE is different to the Dr Z sound pf course but I wonder how the Brad Paisleys of the world would like these sounds.

V13 download button is labelled correctly but the left side text still says V12 - will check these out with interest.
Just spent some time with these - the C12K profiles are marvelous with a tele. Nothing ice-picky at all even on the bridge pickup and parallel settings. SM7b and Royer both work for me - more bottom end with the 121. Eg A on the 6th string alternating with the upper strings holds its own more with more fundamental audible.

Just a query on the new set: Were the cabs of these small combos (eg Princeton) used for the profiles or were the 3rd Power CS80 based cabs?
-
Another great profile from the 6100 - loads of Marshall Mojo. This one is with the recto cab - earlier one had the Bogner. Thanks to Mick for sharing both of these profiles,
-
Thanks for sharing this one Bert - great track for jamming over.
-
Have to agree with Patrick on these profiles - ALL of them are usable. I haven't found any I don't like and there are great sounds from all the drivers - all the way from the Clean (Cl Lyn 1 is such a nice clean profile) through the mid gains to the higher gain.
Nice to hear the rather rare Alnico Cream on this set - really tasty tones - thick and satisfying. The EVH, Scumback and Redback based profiles are all worth the price of admission for any rock player. Still working my way through the V30s - I'm doing these alphabetically
Great work, Tim. Looking forward to when the mad scientist stuff starts

Nice work on these - thanks for sharing. The studio profiles DIs and Cabs are all very good. I tried your ET65 and EV12L cabs on a couple of your DIs and some other profiles - good sounds all round.
-
Ivan, my good man, you're killing it with this one. Looking forward to release.

I am not getting any opportunity to enter the discount code during checkout? Tried in Chrome and Firefox (PC).

Hi David. Thanks for the revisit of the Randy Rhoads. I liked the original very much and its new friends are most welcome.
Both the cab and the amp section of that profile - and the new ones - play very well with other cabs/amps. The kingsnake cab from RE does very well on this amp for example and the 4x12 greenback cab works very well on Liam Thompsons Marshall profiles.
Will bust out a bass and check out the David Eden profiles too.
-
Sounds like my kind of pack, Ivan.
-
NS - what is that? Just trying to follow your remedy. Is that a typo for Noise Gate?
-
Here's the procedure I use. Pick a profile with the cab you want - studio or merged. Lock the cab on. Select the DI profie you want to run through that cab. You can then hear how the combination sounds. If you like it, save the new combination with a new name.
If you want to add your own cab, you could create a merged or studio profile with another amp and your cab of interest. Then you could add that cab to any DI profile.

Is it any wonder smiley faces look jaundiced?

Well I think these Lonestar profiles are marvelous. The cleans are rich, warm and dark with humbuckers - hollow body/ 335/Les Paul players will find great sounds. They can work for pretty much anything with single coils - crisp and shimmering funk and reggae sounds with a strat or tele - whatever you want. They were beautiful with p90s. The mid to higher gain unboosted are powerful and warm. The galaxy of boosted profiles covers so much ground - all the way up to blazing Recto/Mark series sounds.
These are really well profiled and with so many options there are are just so many shades to choose from. Fantastic job on this amp (Lonestar Classic by the looks) that nobody really seems to have fully profiled yet.
