Sounds really good! No annoying highs, thick and not too much bass.

Yes. I'm really happy with it now.
The high fizz I couldn't get rid of was freaking me out.
I couldn't have released a pack with the amp unless I figured it out.
100% caused by the power amp tubes. Old tubes in the bin now
Hi Mick following this thread with interest, like everyone else here I sure appreciate your approach to the honing in process and what future customers are going to be looking for.
I'll always throw in a request for a JTM pack when the opportunity arises, don't know whether that's on your scope? Still looking for some great early 'Powerage' era AC/DC type tones, I don't think they ever sounded better than they did on that album
Mick, I think it would be also great if you dial in a few amps for lower tunings, such as B, C, F", Drop E, etc. Think it's really important to have in mind what kind of low end you want in your profiles based on the instrument that's playing it.
I will be doing a jtm45 at some point for sure. One of my favourite sounds.
The clip I posted earlier with the new EVH is tuned to B ands sounds nice and tight.
Download the profile and check it yourself. Would love your opinion
Got an Apogee Duet 2 for mobile profiling. Have the Apogee One sold.
I'm using the Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt in the studio so I can't live without Apogee quality at home or on location.
I'm going to get a bass amp pack done soon so I don't fancy carting Ampeg cabs back and forward to the studio so the Duet will be perfect.
Oh man, first off - I'm happy to see a pro who's happy with the Duet. That's what I use in my meager home studio, and I love it, but I don't have a pro's ears or experience so I wasn't sure if I just liked it because I didn't know any better
Secondly, I'm super excited to hear some bass profiles. The reason I haven't been able to give feedback yet on the guitar profiles has been because almost all my "music time" this month has been occupied by a new band where I've been playing bass. Would be very happy to give feedback on bass profiles using my Rick, Stingray, and Bass VI!

Very tight. Can't wait to get back home (in 9 hours...) and try it out.

The Duet is amazing. Quality over quantity.
Won't get to the bass stuff for a while yet.
I did a quick MXR M80 profile with my favourite settings into LA-610 tube mic pre/compressor for you =]

Dude, you are awesome! I can't wait to get home and try it out. How clean/dirty was the tone when you refined it with the P Bass? I'll let you know how it sounds!
Clean channel on the mxr but I drove the la610 a bit. Should be a fat full sound but fairly clean.

Awesome, look forward to giving it a go!
EVH problem was shitty factory power amp tubes.
Swapped them out for a pair of Mesa 6L6s and the annoying peak has completely disappeared so I'm extremely happy.
Here is an updated Drive 2TS Blue to check out.
If you compare this to the previous one at the same settings I uploaded you will hear the peak is now gone \m/

Drive 2 TS new without any tweaking, right out of the box with a little wah and delay.
Played with Ibanez Jem 77fp dimarzio evolution pu on bridge.
Michael, you are the man
Cheers
Frank
Wow.
Amazing playing, as always, Frank.
It makes all the hard work getting this right worthwhile when I listen to that.
Smooth and clear and no annoying frequencies at all.
Even the high part at 1.22 is smooth and not "peaky" or shrill.
Thanks a million for taking the time to do this demo.
Now that the problem with the EVH is solved I'm going to get all the cabs done early next week.
Got the Recto finished today and the Greenback cab.
Looking forward to getting onto another amp now.
Will do either Triple Rectifier or Marshall 30th anniversary 6100 head next.
I have a band in the studio for a 4 day session from tomorrow.
If we get any cool sounds I'll grab them and post them here.
This band usually use 6505 to Recto cab so there will probably be nothing new =]

Many thx Michael, it's also my impression. No fizzy hights in the high section and the dimarzio evolution is an animal. This was only a short 5 minute first shot with the untweaked profile. I think at the weekend i will dive deeper into it and explore the amp section. I have done a first quick few with definition at 7,5, power sag at 3,5 and amp compressor at 3,2. Pure cab on at 3,3. Also very cool.
You're an animal, Frank.
Mick, thank you for the EVH update and also for the promise of bass amps. Awesome, man.
Thanks Frank and Mick!, over 7 thousand views on this thread already..think Mick is starting a revolution
Its good to see that now the only Fizz i have is on my German Beer
(there is no hope for me )
Mick thankfully you cant run out of stock in kemper profiles as your gonna need it brother

Great playing, Frank. Well done. Your clip really showcases the great profile put together by Michael ( @mickrich )

Quick jam with this profile. I turned the gain up to 7.8 and made some adjustments to my guitar (pickup height / pole height)
Only post EQ is LP at 12k and Valhalla reverb
