Just made my first profile. I have a 1980 50 Watt Marshall JMP and an old 4x12 cab with early 70s 25 Watt Celestions, a good sounding rig, and the cab is really great. Just profiled it with the master on only 2 1/2 just because I didn't want to blow any speakers on the first go. Holy crap it was loud. I was in the room, wearing hearing protection, but was scared it was going to blow a speaker.
Anyway, after tweaking the profile am happy with the results - it's a good sounding profile and after messing with speaker tuning and some EQ it sounds a lot like my Marshall.
Have some questions though:
- In the beginning of doing the profile it asked me to set the level based on a reference amp - have read this in the manual but it wasn't clear. Ignored this and left it at default -16 dB but that seems like it might have been wrong.
- After the profile was over it asked if I wanted to refine and I said yes, and it seemed like it was trying to profile the amp more, but by then I'd already hit standby, so no sound, so I hit end. Did this cause any problems to the profile I just made?
- When I saved the profile it oddly used the default name of the last profile I had been using earlier, so I added one character and hit save, then changed the name and hit resave. Seems there should be a better way to name the profile you just made.
- In Rig Manager my new profile has an Amp Name and Cabinet Name that are the same as those of the purchased rig I'd been using earlier. I don't wnat these in my profile as they are from someone else. Why are they there and how do I get rid of them?
- Isn't the cab from the profile I just made? Why does the Cab Name have any name at all?
- Making the profile with the master on only 2 1/2 it was so loud I feel I can't go up to 5 or 8 where I want to really be making these profiles. But I guess two EL34s can't blow four parallel 25W speakers. But still... damn that was loud.
Thanks if anyone can answer any of those!
