I know Roman uses or recorded with 5150 III and 6505+. I just can’t find a profile that gets the tone right for high gain. The cleans were easy. Could anyone suggest a profile? I’m playing through a Mesa 4x12 with V30’s if that helps.

Depends on the venue but I plug in to the front of stage. I do have a surge protector that it directly plugs in to to protect it.
-
One other thing I've noticed is that a lot of the hi gain rigs have been profiled with scooped mids and poor string definition/clarity (I guess that's what most other hi gain players like) hence why I tend to go for slightly lower gain rigs that sound better and then tweak the gain to taste
Good points. I don’t scoop the mids, they are what really punch through the mix and add the right type of growl. Also, I normally increase definition after refining.

I know that when I make profiles of my Boogies they are pretty much indistinguishable from the real amp in the room. I love how they sound. However, that doesn’t necessarily make them great profiles for anyone else to use.
This was the case with my Dual Rectifier. It has a pretty unique preamp and power tube setup. So I guess I was so used to hearing that amp not just any dual rectifier that the others sounded different.

I’ll try the input suggestions. I’m running through a guitar cabinet does the same rules apply for output, I’m thinking maybe not?
-
Is there a way to make professional profiles sound like amps in the room?
-
I definitely profiled at performance volume. That may be why. My lead channel profile is amazing the notes jump off of the fretboard. Adding a compressor and adjusting the Definition settings were key.
of course I’ve been using this amp since 2008 so maybe I’m just so used to the sound and playing through it. -
I’ve noticed that the profiles I take of my own amp feel a lot more responsive than ones I’ve bought or downloaded from the rig exchange for the same amp. Anyone else experience this and have any clue why?

If you’re open to active (I never was until I tried these) EMG makes actives with magnetic poles now. The 57/66 is the best pickup I’ve ever played. It’s very versatile. From the cleanest cleans to extremely dirty. Plus they are plug and play, no soldering and the batteries last 1500 hours.
-
Glad you solved it, but FYI: If it uses a battery it ain't passive
Right ?
-
I solved the issue. I needed a 9v battery. It was supposed to be passive but the sound was horrible prior to using the battery.
-
My 9v was dead....

behringer GI100

I had a thought. Am I approaching this wrong? I want to make a profile to use live and I thought using DI was the way to do it because I am using my cabinet on stage.
-
I’ve tried to profile my Dual Rectifier twice. Both times it sounds very harsh. I’m following the manual verbatim. Please give me some tips.

r.u.serius. His are great.

if this is something that you want to apply globally to all rigs you can now save low cut and hi cut settings in the Output Menu
I was unable to find it in the output settings. What page is it on of the 8?
-
I’m using a Mesa oversized rectifier cab 4x12 and an ISP Stealth Pro.
-
I didn’t realize it was in the Rig menu, thank you! It is the first stomp right now.

Get a USB cable, connect it and you‘ll see a lot of new options.
