Hello guys,
Accidents happen and sometimes for the best !
I did a first Studio profiles sessions yesterday at home, with the Sm57 and Fathead, even with my "sick amp". It was very quick to make 39 profiles, differences were mainly on the amp eq and slight mic positioning changes. The Fathead adds a lot of body to the tone !!
The amp finally goes to the doctor tomorrow so I won't have it during about 15 days...
What is interesting is that the problem I have is not captured by the profiling ! So the obtained profiles don't have the problem
Anyway, the results are not exactly what I want in term of quality (mic'ing an amp is an art), but if I merge the cab of the studio profiles with my current direct amp profiles made 2 days ago (which are not very good as the amp settings were quite "extreme"), some magic happens !!
Currently, I have 8 Direct amp and 39 studio profiles from which I will only use the cabs > means that virtually I have 8 Direct amps and 312 studio profiles !!! And the few I tested were very very good !!
The direct amp profiles were very bright and agressive, so I had to lower the definition, boosting the Power Sag, Bias and clarity, and it was very nice. In the amp EQ, sometimes perhaps lowering the presence and the treble.
Anyone interested by this first HULK pack ? Used as studio profiles, they are very good, but as Direct amp, I am not sure they are top notch as i can't test them...
A lot of editing to do... but let's have fun !!
Once the amp is repaired, I will redo new direct amp profiles.
Any guys use only direct amp profiles, I would like them to test them as direct amp, if possible with a recto cab...
