Thanks for these. It seems your prices have gone up across the board recently or just some of the packs?
Top Jimi "DC/AC" Pack
-
-
The Legendary Tones packs (Brown, DC/AC) take the most time and most gear to put together, so we've priced them a little higher.
-
Played with it a bit more and found that this pack nails many of Paul Kossoffs tones as well. Was playing along to "Free live" and the H2H Lead Profile was spot on to Koss' Sound at the Sunderland Mayfair gig without any tweaking.
I used a couple of Andy's Marshalls for those sounds before and got close either, but they had to be tweaked a bit more. Your's are right there from the beginning, given you use a nice Les Paul with PAF-like PUs.
May I ask why you leave the EQ-stack on "post amp"? Was that intentionally? I found switching it to "pre" makes the tonestack behave more like a real Marshall would do. It doesn't do much EQ-wise but you can shape the distortion character a bit which I like on old Marshalls.

Simply, a MUST HAVE!” Thanks Top Jimi and continue with more artist packs. You do it superooo !!

Thanks! Seems we use similar pickups, which makes the profiles "tweak free".
I've never actually tried setting the EQ-stack to be "pre". I've always used it as a post-profile "mastering" tool rather than trying to emulate the functionality of the real tone stack of a Marshall. I'll have to try it out.

Thank you Jimi for these awesome profiles. My SG is smiling

I am not an ACDC fan, though I like them, so this pack is not meant for me that much, BUT I love good old Marshalls, and I like your Mars profiles, so I had to give it a try.
Well, this pack is great for almost any classic rock tones you wish to emulate. And I've been playing some blues too. Great for humbuckers, P90s and SCs too. Great work. And I think the rigs tend to be more in your face, less distant, than in other previous Mars packs of yours (the ones I've got). -
more in your face
great !
-
Glad you're liking the profiles! Our profiling techniques are constantly evolving, so the profiles will sound a bit (or a lot) different than previous packs. We think for the better.

I got 2 emails from Jimi when this was announced.
One was AC/DC.....
more interestingly the second was titled 'Pet 2C'
The content was the same on both though and referred to the AC/DC pack......
Anyone else any news on this ?
-
Sorry, the first "Pet2C" email was a typo. The second email had the corrected "DC/AC" title. My bad.
-
On the contrary not bad at all !!!!!
Is there another 'Pet2C' pack on the way ?
-
Yes, it's been out for a while now!

got the pack yesterday, lots of fun. I played back in black for an hour
the merged profiles and possibility to play with cabs brings hell of great value
I also grabbed the JTM 45 which was very appealing to me since a while and that's a real killer one as expected
good job jimi, and thank you -
Awesome. Glad you're liking 'em!

Out of interest is there then a way of seeing on the site which are the newer packs?
Thx

The '67 20W Greenback cab has a very distinct tone. You can't get a convincing early AC/DC tone without it.
