Quote from V8guitar

At the risk of just sounding like an uneducated metal head, Im not a fan of that sound. It sounds like a sound of the time, no body, lacking sustain, not my ideal overdriven sound...to me, if he had closer to Gary Moore's sound, I think it would be even better.

This is a curse for the guitarist, we over focus on the guitar sound and can miss the song and context so I know I'm wrong BTW

Sorry for the diversion.

That's your opinion, and we all have them, but our opinions are not aligned.

I like that LZ tone and always will, it was rude and gritty, almost fuzzy - like the context of the songs.

Quote from V8guitar

Sorry to go off topic slightly but....I never liked Jimmys sound. His playing? Brilliant ( even though I'm not a big fan) and he wrote those amazing songs, but I always though his sound was...erm..a bit weak? I'm I nuts/missing something?

Just wondering if sometimes we mix up the songs and playing with the guitar sound??

The Supro Coronado 1690T/Sundragon amp was used on Led Zeppelin I, and some other recordings later.

https://www.guitarplayer.com/gear/the-compl…s-sundragon-amp

The story goes that when this amp was broken out the back of the van, they repaired the American Supro, with available UK parts, like a Mullard GZ34 rectifier, a 12" instead of two 10"'s, and some other bits, and all of that made the signature sound that we've all heard many times now. It's a cool tone to my ears, and I would like to add it to my library, for close as it gets covers.

A '59 Bassman, 5F6-A.

Mark IIc+, and SLO 100 would also make me happy.

If you could have any amp, fully profiled with the new Liquid Profile process, what would you choose?

My choice would be the Jimmy Page Sundragon amp, one of the limited 50, made by Mitch Colby.

https://www.sundragonamps.com/

"Jimmy’s original amplifier started out life as a Supro Coronado. While on tour with Neil Christian the amplifier fell out of the band’s van. Not willing to give up on his beloved Supro, Jimmy had it restored. At that time the amplifier was also modified in significant ways. Jimmy realized that the sonic palette had changed to something new and unique. After being shrouded in mystery for more than 50 years, Jimmy has decided to share this extraordinary amplifier with the world."

What amp would you choose to see Liquid Profiled, if you could only pick one?

Welcome! You can find the names of the drive pedal presets, in the Addendum 8.7 Manual, starting on Page 32:

But I don't see the Rat there.

EDIT: Just looked at RM, it's under Distortion called Mouse

I was using 100% Scaling, and 150% Text size. 200% scaling makes everything large and easy to read, but then the rest of my applications and icons are too big, it takes up too much space.

For a compromise I used 150% Scaling and 100% Text size, any larger ruins my other functions I use this PC for.

Having dynamic scaling built in to RM directly, would be very helpful for me.

Native resolution is always the best setting for any high DPI monitor. If RM could scale the UI and Text, that would be ideal.

I was really hoping that the High DPI support update, was going to fix the tiny text size in RM. I'm currently running at 3840x1600, and the text is still so small that it's hard to use.

Even with Windows set at Large text settings, the RM menu is still squashed:

Would it be possible to allow larger fonts, please?

In Windows, you can hold the CTRL button on the keyboard, and roll the scroll wheel on the mouse, this controls the zoom feature. This would be ideal for scaling control in RM with Windows, but a fixed font point size option in File>Preferences>Font would be great as well.

Stand and cover for v1, would buy.

I'm using S/PDIF, and recording in stereo into my DAW, I'm trying to keep the guitar delays and reverb - the entire guitar really - out of the center of the stereo field, and only move on the furthest left and right. I've read that there is a Panorama setting somewhere. Is Panorama the right effect I'm looking for, and does Rig Manager have that feature as a control?

I'm having mixed results using cabs from other profiles, with this 6G3 DI profile (head only), but am able to add and switch cabs successfully now, thanks for the replies. I'll eventually get around to profiling the Celestion Gold in this 6G3 cab also.

The Fender 6G3 is sometimes called the mini-Marshall, it can grind, and has a lot of gain and break-up - for a Fender. The DI profile I made on volume 7, tone 7 of the Bright Channel, even without a cab - it's a unique profile, very raw and crunchy.

'63 Brown Deluxe 6G3 clone - DI profile - no cab:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o91cnloo11wf…11-53.krig?dl=0

I tried one of the 4x12 preset cabs, and got really close to this tone:

Is 'refine' the only thing that can be done to a DI profile, to alter it during the Profile process? Does refining with HBs, as opposed to SC's, change the DI Profile? The above was refined with HB's, GLP Bursts.

I recently built a 6G3 Fender Brown Deluxe clone, and I'm just now getting around to profiling it.

In order to profile just the head (has a Celestion Gold, very loud), I selected No Cabinet in the profile, and then used the Fryette PS2 to control the volume to the cabinet after the DI.

When I look in the Rig Manager, there aren't many Cabinets available for selection, this is what I have:

I'd like a '59 Bassman cab, and a 4X12 Marshall of a few different types, is there a way to move cabinets from other profiles?

Some of my Fuzz collection:

I still get better results using an actual Fuzz pedal in to the input of my KPA, than I do with the new Beta fuzz stomps. I really appreciate, and marvel at the beginnings of this new module, but I'm trying to be 100% objective. It probably sticks out further to me, because I can A/B directly with a NKT275 red and white.

There is something missing still from the Presets for Germanium, the Silicon seems a bit better. I can get the feeling right in one way, but then it falls short in another. The way it reacts to string bends is the most noticeable to me, it seems to decay and not bloom.

I briefly read something about the impedance control, and that the older model KPA (2015), might be missing something. I'll RTFM.

Thanks to the KPA team for continuing to develop and innovate.

I have a Power Head, so I use the Speaker output of my KPA to the Kabinet. Which side would the Speaker Output then be on, Left or Right? Which port would I use in conjunction with a Powered Kabinet, to have Stereo Kemper Cone choices?

I currently have the Power Head and a Kabinet. If I add a Powered Kabinet to the Monitor out, do I get Kemper Cone choices, now in Stereo?

Kemper may make a great approximation some day, the DC only has 4 buttons and no other settings, but if you're a collector, they hold their value well. I bought an original from Japan off eBay a couple of years ago. The Waza is supposed to be pretty good too.

Version 3.1.55 is clearly labeled as a Beta, I knew that going in to it. I don't mind assisting with Beta testing, and glad to hear the arrow problem has been addressed officially. Thanks!

I can see in your Video that you have Effect Slot #7 locked. That's why you're getting this notification, which is not an alert. So far all good. You also have tweaked your Windows settings so the font in the dialog is bigger and that's why you don't see the "Don't Show Again" option underneath the two buttons. That's something we can improve. IF you don't like the dialog, unlock Effect Slot #7. I've told you that in an earlier reply.

The list needs the focus in order for the arrow keys to work. You get this by clicking inside the list (you say that in the video yourself). And the focus will stay there as long as you don't start to tweak things in the editor. That, again, hasn't changed as far as I can see. The list always needed the focus. We can debate that this is not idea and we will consider changes in the future but it is not a new behaviour since a Rig Manager with an editor has been released.

I turned off the lock on the Spring Reverb, and it does the same thing. I can make another video, but this is not something I'm doing incorrectly. I've been using RM since day one.

Thanks.

EDIT:

My complaint is that the Arrow keys are not as functional as they used to be. I do not remember having to use the mouse to reset the field every time I want to change a Rig.

It would be nice, if RM had Text Zoom, or at least was compatible with Windows enlarged text, so I could've seen the 'Do not Show Again' option, I have checked the box, I no longer get that error. I'm running 3840X2160, enlarged text is a must.

If I could use the Down and Up arrows to select a new Rig (even if I'm already currently in a Rig), and then use the Spacebar to select and load a new rig, without having to touch the mouse, that would help.

Quote from G String

up/down is not supposed to load a rig.

the notification dialog (which is not an error) appears when you switch to another rig and there are unsaved changed. this can for instance happen when you actively change something but also if you for instance lock something.

I used to be able to use the arrows on my keyboard to cycle through the Rigs, audition them, and then move on - using only keyboard arrows. Something has changed. I haven't made any changes to any profile when I get the error:

Quote from G String

can you elaborate please?

Pressing the down arrow results in the field skipping properly, but the Rig does not load automatically, and pressing the Arrow keys right or left to load the rig, produces the error I made the Screen shot of.
