OneEng1 nailed it for me when he mentioned less gain. At high volume it can sound messy. Also I found some rhythm sounds for rock or metal that sound good in a studio mix often are too bright live.

I wouldn't worry about latency too much unless you reap the same di with 2 different rigs. Surely your playing is likely to be more than 5ms off the beat anyway.
-
The problem with cutting the low end with eq is that anything other than palm muted parts start to sound thin. I prefer frequency conscious compression because it only becomes active when needed.
-
Maybe we need a frequency conscious compressor to catch those occasional lows. You can easily do this in a studio situation with MCDSP MC2000 or Waves C4.

Thanks Dan. Looking forward to this one.
-
Unless it is labelled, then you cannot tell. Maybe check on the forum, as some commercial sellers always seem to make merged and others are against the idea.
-
These amps have a lot of gain and those settings look quite typical for metal on the lead channel, apart from the resonance control being a bit low. The speaker used probably has more impact on the profile than the eq though.
-
I'm not sure the sound is hugely different from clip 1 to clip 2. The second is a key up and louder, so that influences the opinion. The main difference for me is you play the second time with much better tuning. These kind of profiles will always sound a little thin on their own and then improve a lot in the mix when bass and drums are added.

I can't believe how good the Positive Grid was on this test. Kemper sounded as expected, but I found Helix and AX8 to be a little fizzy.
-
Part of the problem is that guitar tones sound very different in a mix than played on their own. I think this band play Peavey XXX's and are not massively down-tuned. Most metal profiles feel the to need to demo in A or B tuning, so hard to compare.
Did you try the Tonehammer Mr Hector profiles? They sound quite different from the rest and have the edgy upper mid range.
-
Sounds like something is unusual there. My copy button goes off as soon as I paste. I would contact support for a good way to reset the system.
-
Wouldn't this just place more demands on the system that you cannot deactivate? Most people only occasionally use a wah, so one out of 8 fx slots is adequate in the majority of situations.

The more accurate way to do things is make a merged profile for me. That is the combination of a studio profile including cab and a DI profile. When you turn off the cab on the monitor output you will hear the original sound of the DI and not an approximated version. However, you can still send the full profile with cab to front of house.
Search merged profiles to get a better idea of the process.

I was searching for this effect and would love to see it implemented if it is so easy to add.
-
I think the accepted way would be to take the JMP-1 into the power amp and then use a suitable DI box from the power amp to make the profile. Of course, you will need to take the signal onto a speaker while this setup is running to protect your power amp.
However, I have various IRs that include power amp sections already and had success profiling preamps directly. You don't need to merge anything and only have to copy the IR to the cab section of the DI profile. Merging is when you want to separate the cab from a full profile by using the DI profile.
It worked well with a JMP-1, but less well with a Rocktron Prophesy. Both sounded great with the IR, but less accurate with just the DI signal.
-
Just a player is a great idea and I would love it to fit in hand luggage. I don't care whether it has pedals or not, just as small as possible.
-
You don't need to merge in this situation, as the cabinet section is already defined. Also you can still bypass the cab on the monitor output for live use, while sending the full rig to front of house.
-
Do you have any indication when the studio and merged profiles might be done? Thanks.
-
Use any multi band compressor for this way of controlling the boom on a guitar track, but don't just blindly copy someone else's settings. Boost and sweep frequencies until you hear the offending area, then set up the compressor. The McDSP is very good for this too.

Not sure how heavy the toaster version is, but I wouldn't put it on top of a cab. The vibration surely would't be good long term and it could shift across the surface and fall eventually.
