Introducing Top Jimi Profiles

shortly, hearing yours the sound is real, rich and tube like. Great harmonics. in my LPC I have T-tops from early 70ties which are very close to old PAF Eddie used.

There is an overall main EQ adjustment available within the Kemper. Has that been changed at any point in the past? I have mine set flat.

Hi Jimi,

I asked you about this by PM but never got an answer. Did you use any sort of boost or EQ before the amp when profiling the 1968 Marshall Super Lead 100W?

Thanks.

Hi MadH,

We did do a few profiles with a Boss EQ pedal in front of the '68 to slightly push the front end of the amp, like EVH and George Lynch do/did with their Marshalls. Most of our profiles are just the straight amp, but sometimes we'll throw a pedal in front for a few profiles if it gives a cool tone.

Some folks appear to have been confused by our statement at the beginning of our videos which states that no EQ or effects were added during the recording of the demos. This is 100% true. The demo recordings are done with just a guitar, a cable, the Kemper, our profiles, and a DAW. No effects added. You'll receive in our profiles packs exactly what we used to record the demos.

Would it be possible to know what amps and what profiles for each amp where done using external pedals or EQs? I purchased several of your Marshall amps profiles and honestly I would have liked to be informed about this before hand.

That's what I pay a professional studio profiler to do, and I don't have any problem with that. There are so many variables in the chain anyway, there is no "pure" tone of an amp.

We've refined a lot of things since our very first offering of 7 amps, which included the '68 Super Lead. One of the things we've done since then is label any profiles done with pedals in front of the amp. None of the other Marshalls we've done have had any pedals in front.

I just popped in to say how amazing the 1968 Super Lead sounds, just can't stop playing! Bought few others, but just keep coming back to this one, I am sucker for Marshalls, and this one is the ultimate.

Great work TopJimi!

MuddyFox · July 11, 2015 at 2:02 PM

Ditto!
I got a taste of it from the samplepack and I'll definitely be getting it when my next paycheck arrives!

See Jimi, it pays to give out some freebies!

Sounds great! Nice job.

Been trying to capture the Thin Lizzy tone for a while now, and chanced across Jimi's site. Decided to download the '74 Super Lead as a starting point. Just WOW!! The quality of these profiles is staggering. I'm already 90% there now for the sounds I want. A bit of tweaking and job done . I had previously bought a large bundle from TAF, and within that bundle were some very nice profiles, but these have gone way beyond that. When I've finished exploring the '74 I shall definitely be coming back. Although I may be sometime .......... Damn, that '74 SL is amazing!!!
