With all the bare-ing in mind we've been doing lately, I thought it was about time to redo the naked amp bank. A bank where every amp has their own preset, with nothing but one cabsim and a little reverb to keep it warm. The latest firmware and changed reverb algorithms made it more or less necessary to redo the bank anyway.
Caveat: these presets are not tweaked, just defaults! (for 95%). Many of them I think don't sound so good. (I severely dislike the Metal cab, but it's paired with the Powerball because it's an Engl.) It's purely an administrative bank, meant as a bit of a starting point, tweaking will be necessary!
Many models have more than one useful tone anyway. Plus all of the different setups, guitars, playing styles and preferences makes it impossible to please everyone.
So, here it is: Dutch TimmyM Raw Amp Bank 10.03 Cabs MV.zip
This time the cabs are more or less matched to the amps according to the List_of_amp_simulations wiki page. Thanks to TimmyM who took my first raw amp bank and matched most of the cabs. When there were no recommended cabs in the wiki I picked one that looked about right, like a Marshall cab to the Marsha amps. When there was more than one option I chose the one that sounded the least weird. Thus the cabs are not according to my preference, I only took liberties when I had to.
All amp block parameters are at default except the Master Volumes, they were tweaked according to the List_of_amp_simulations wiki page again, and some of the controls that were strongly recommended different than noon. After the Master Volume tweak the Amp block level parameter was used to even out the volumes at moderate sound pressure. Since the amp block is where the volume difference originates that's where it should be adjusted, IMHO. The sound pressure at which I evened them out at is "louder than bed-room level, but not as loud as live monitoring". Basically it was as loud as my Behringer Truth studio monitor type speakers would go without me worrying that I would blow the tweeter. This means it will probably not be even on most monitoring solutions, but there is no way around that, they should at least be in the ballpark. Adjust at will.
I put in a tiny bit of reverb to get a bit of ambiance.
No double presets this time, since we went over 64 amps available in the Axe-FX they don't fit pairwise in one bank anymore. Should anyone wish to tweak and compare you can always copy one to the empty patches twice and tweak your heart out.
Enjoy!
