80's hero's preset bundle interest?

So I've been secretly working on a bundle of presets from my metal hero's of the 80's. You guys know what I'm capable of with the Van Halen patches. Now none of this is etched in stone as "definite", so don't get too excited. I got so much on my plate right now, I gotta see if it's gonna be worth it. I can't tip my hat and tease you yet (though it's killing me not to) but I'm going to lay it out like this. In the little spare time I've had, I've been messing with the ideas below which unfortunately would definitely be a "pay bundle" and I'd do it for XL+ and AX8. Cabs will be created and supplied.

EVH: which most of you already have. But I'll include it with both cabs in the preset list.
Nuno: First album sound, porno, 3 sides, most current. (just got done Mutha...omg it rocks!)
Reb Beach: First album, Pull, current
John Sykes: Whitesnake
Lynch: Dokken years, Lynch Mob
DeMartinni: First album, second album, Dancing Undercover
Satriani: Surfin'/Various
Vai: PAW/DLR/Various
Petrucci: Various
Hammett: Various
Randy Rhoads: Various
Jake E. Lee: Bark at the Moon
Dann Huff: Various
Yngwie: Various
Vito Bratta: Various

Would you be interested in something like this? If so, what would it be worth to you price wise? You know the work behind this will be pretty intense. All I want is what I'm worth...nothing more, nothing less....and you know I won't let you down. :)

If it works out for all of us, I'll do more or maybe even custom presets for anyone in need. Then switch to blues, jazz, current, death, country, whatever. I just gotta feel out what you guys are thinking/interested in. I hate even charging for this stuff, but something like this is going to be huge as far as the work involved and I'm going to try for pinpoint accuracy. Sound interesting? Thoughts? Ideas?
 
I'd buy it in heartbeat for whatever the going rate ends up being just based on your track record and to support your work, Danny. Your free stuff has been useful and truly educational. I love those 80s tones.
 
Autobuy for me for Nuno tones alone. I'd love to see Skid Row's first and second albums in there as well, not that you need more to do!
 
I'd be in ! As to the pricing, well Moke's charging $ 10 per .... And I've bought a few of his and they're definitely worth it, but for $ 10 ea I'm being a bit picky on which ones I choose.

F.ex. - I'm not a real fan of Randy Rhoads tone .... I LOVE his riffs, phrasing and technique, but his tone ..., meh ....

All that said ..., I've studied your VH patches and I'd love to see what you can come up with !

GOOD LUCK !
 
And how about some Jason Bieler from Saigon Kick? Some amazing rhythmsounds on those first few records!
He uses an Axe-FX these days, the old tones was usually a Boss SD1 boosted Rivera TBR-1SL.
 
I would be willing to pay for presets that sound close to these guys:
Nuno: First album sound, porno, 3 sides, most current. (just got done Mutha...omg it rocks!)
Reb Beach: First album, Pull, current
Lynch: Dokken years, Lynch Mob
DeMartinni: First album, second album, Dancing Undercover
Vito Bratta: Various

For me I would rather pay per preset. You could do a 3 or 5 pack package??

Dear Maestro:
I will happily purchase whatever preset you offer. Additionally, I will send you a bonus as well. Please, let this happen. Your VH preset and Moke's are my go-to presets.
 
Please make a Vai preset..50 dollar bonus for that one from my end and I recommend charging at least 10 dollars a preset. I will gladly pay more but others will likely complain. The work and skill involved should be compensated. Guitarists are notorious for wanting to low ball and then take gigs for next to nothing. Artists need to be supported. Rock's current status in the real world is far from stellar. You created a wondrous gift which you shared with all of us. I recommend fine tuning the VH (e.g. update for 4.0) , removing it gratis, and then packaging it for sale. You deserve monies for your great work.
 
Quite a list to choose from! Ya kinda got me with Nuno but, even more so with Dann Huff...always liked his tone! If you're open to other suggestions, I'd like to add Dave Meniketti from Y&T as well. Thanks for your contributions, Danny.
 
Excellent project! I would surely $upport it!

and several others...

BUT PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE AX8 HARDWARE!!!!

You're too kind, thanks. I'm not worried about people complaining about price or selling lots. I want to deliver presets that are so close, you can't do without them.

My studio does specialty work. We charge what we're worth and are booked solid. I'd rather sell less and give quality with everything I do. That vh preset took me from the time the MKII came out until I released it. So I don't rush anything. :)

I definitely have some stuff to think about. You guys have been awesome with feedback and suggestions. Again nothing etched in stone, but I'm glad I ran this by you guys. Thanks so much!
