It's 'Red 6' in that demo. Quad tracked.
The drums are GGD but with the usual Sneap/Colin Richardson D4 samples blended in

All sounds great but it would be nice to hear some profiles with passive pickups too.
I've used Fluence Moderns for the demos which have both active and passive voicings. The battery is just powering the technology, not the output. The passive voicing is based on a JB
Here's a cover of Death's Zero Tolerance.
This is one of my favourite profiles in the pack. 5150 III red channel into a Mesa 4X12. No boost but a clean style EQ/tightening before the amp block on the Kemper
Here's a new demo from the pack. Mesa Dual Rectifier and peavey 5150 Block Letter (but not...see above^) through an old Mesa 4X12 with the UK made Celestion V30s
Going for a similar vibe but not trying to recreate the tone
Which one of the 5150 III profiles from the Heavy Bundle 2 pack was used for the Gojira style tone?
It's the 5150III 'RED 4' profile
Here's a demo of a Gojira style 5150 III tone
Are all the clips in a full mix? Thanks.
Here's the video of all the tones demoed on their own
Awesome, thanks! Glad you're into the tones.
Here are a few more of the demos
Here's the 5150 profile. It's essentially a block letter but not....
I bought the 5150 off Derek at Watford Valves here in the UK. Here's what his ad said about the amp before I purchased it. Clearing up the block letter vs signature
"Roger Crimm the product manager and the regional service manager at Peavey clarifies the block logo & signature debate.
Roger-The block logo was changed because of a trademark dispute with another manufacturer (this was Electro Voice objecting to the EV on the front panel) rather than litigating it, Peavey decided to just change it. In regards to changing the tubes we still had US made Sylvania’s in stock in the first year or so of 5150 production, By that time however, US tube production had ceased the supply dried up and we had no choice but to go to a different tube. We used a couple of different Chinese-made tubes for most of the 90’s but the standard was hit or miss quality wise, and we had our share of tube failures. Unfortunately they were all we could really get in the quantities we needed at the time. The initial tube change occurred at around the same time as the logo changed from block to script.
So the first issue 5150 had original American made Sylvania 6L6GC, so it is no wonder that people say that these were the best as these output valves were one of the best of all time. In the early 90’s Peavey simply had no choice in terms of 6L6GC as these amps predate the resurgence in valve production. I have had Philips Military 7581A and Sylvania 6L6GC STR 387 in this amp and can say that the Svetlana 6L6GC runs these very close."
So essentially, depending on your valves (most block letters should have been revalved by now!) my signature could be more 'block letter' sounding than an actual block letter.
Here's another Andy Sneap inspired Mesa Boogie Dual Rec tone
Here's two tracks of 5150 and two tracks of Krankenstein
Thank you! I love those tones. Really thick and satisfying. I always AB against a bunch of Andy Sneap and Colin Richardson tones.
Here are a few other demos
EVH 5150 III LB01
EVH 5150 III 50W
Here are a few new demos of some of the profiles
Krank Krankenstein
Laney GH100L
Diezel VH4
Here's an Andy Sneap inspired Testament 'The Gathering' / 'First Strike Still Deadly' rectifier tone. I think they used a mesa boogie triple rec but this is a dual rectifier.
Oversized mesa 4x12 and a Maxon OD808
Sounds great Josh! Which profiles did you use for the clip?
I think that was Diezel Channel 4 profile 1.
Here are a few other tones
Killswitch Engage and Pantera
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier multi watt and Peavey 5150 respectively.
For sample profiles send me a PM
Thanks! I completely agree.
Here's a Hetfield / Metallica inspired tone using a Diezel VH4 profile.
Here are all of the tones in the pack demoed
They're studio. I've tried both and I've always had great results with studio in terms of the kemper getting the head/cab separation
Really nice pack! Sounds massive with Fishman Fluence modern 6 and 7 strings.
I think some info about cab/mic placement and pedals used in the profiles would be great.
Better than pack 1 (my modest opinion)
A nobrainer pack for metalheads
Cheers!
Thanks! Cabs include Mesa oversized 4x12. Early 2000s so it has the old UK made V30s. Having been able to do a shoot out, there really is a noticeable difference. Marshall 1960TV and an Orange 4x12. The Marshall 1960TV has a lot of similarities to the oversized Mesas in terms of the smooth high end.
Boosts include Maxon od808, Horizon Devices Precision Drive, Kartakour Warmer and the VFE Focus pedal.
Mostly just a single 57 for cabs. Most of my favourite porudcers (Andy Sneap, Colin Richardson etc) usually favour the 57. The mic positions vary. 82 unique profiles so the amp settings and mic placements vary. Having the mic an inch away from the grill is best. I'll try and find some of the old pictures Andy Sneap posted on his forum back in the day.
The tone at 3:36 in the video is mimicking that kind of Andy Sneap rectifier tone he got for Testament on The Gathering and First Strike Still Deadly. It's a deliberate nod to the song 'Three Days In Darkness'
Thanks. I'll be uploading some more videos of the tones over the next few weeks.
Also replicating some famous tones etc
Hey guys,
I've just launched the new JTM Profiles - Heavy Tones Bundle 2
Hands down the best profiles I've made.
82 unique profiles. Seeking to recreate tones from 5150, EVH 5150 III 50w, Mesa Dual Rec, Diezel VH4, Laney GH100L, EVH LB 1 and the Krankenstein.
I've also included a handful of bass profiles as well.
Every profile is unique meaning that the profiles don't share the same amp settings, cab/mic placement or boost pedal etc. This opens up a huge range of different combinations.

Just made a new demo for the Fishman Fluence Classic pickups. Using the same tone from my profile pack for the song as well as demonstrations
I've just put up a video of every profile in the pack demoed.
