Hi!
I have done a few test profiles with a more crunch sound, not as metal scooped as i often do actually the md421 profiles does not even have the graphic eq engaged.
I'm using the lead channel on these profiles with low gain settings., i actually was trying to do the rhythm 2 channel at first but was not happy with the profiling result, will give it another shot later.
To be clear, included profiles turned out as expected.
All profiles are with rectifier 2x12 v30, low gain profile is mic;ed with sm57 and graphic eq is used, mid gain profiles are md421 with graphic eq off, the 2nd profile has deep pulled on amp and slightly more gain that's the only difference between the two.
Let me know what you think about them? what to improve as i'm not so comfortable with these sounds.... yet.
These profiles are studio profiles, can do some merged next time.

I Looked at Brad Gills old instructional video and it was easier to see his mesa boogie settings there, i decided to try them since they really differ a lot from what i usually have, well graphic eq at least, i cannot see how his knobs are pulled or not but i did a variation with Lead Bright pulled, profile with BR means it's pulled.
These are going a little higher in gain, on kemper, 6.1 and 6.7 but since night ranger was mention i think it's accepted
These profiles are made on an Mug 2x12 (marshall clone) with g12t75 speakers and sm57 was used.
Both studio and merged in this zip, so you can try with other cabs if you want.
Update 3 15/4-20
Did a few profiles from the rhythm 2 channel of the amp, they turned out as they should, don't know why it was off the first time i tried.
Also made a more hard rock profile from lead channel that i think turned out great!
These profile are blended with three mics, sm57, heil pr20 and sennheiser md421, did some alternative without pr20, check profile info.
Studio and merged versions included.
