I'm looking for the brightness clean profile for a particular song of mine. Preferably free or on Rig Exchange. It's got to be very chimey because I will be using it on C# tuning which will darken it up quite a bit. So far, the best I found is Brass Diver GEQ metal by our Don Petersen... but it's a bass profile.
If I can't find better then I'm using that one.
I went through most of the cleans in the Rig Packs and didn't find anything I liked better.
There is an Evans clean on RE. Never compared it against the one you mentioned.
try the Morgan AC20 and put a treble boost in front

Ha, I'm glad you like this one - I've been using that pedal for guitar tones as well.
Maybe you just like very precise clean tones (right now)
here's a trick for acoustic-like cleans:
take a high gain, scooped PROFILE and turn the GAIN down to zero.
make a few intuitive adjustments on the EQ if needed and bingo - great clean tones

I'd also play with your compressor settings. My Lyndhurst has a bright setting, which really helps with sparkle and chime.
What kind of pickups?

I'm using a bridge Seymour Duncan JB HB full on. Maybe I need a Treble Booster for the Fender and Vox profiles to brighten the darkness when playing those with drop tunings??
I found Don's profile by accident because I was playing bass with it and then changed to guitar the next day without switching to another profile, and was impressed with the sound I got.
I tend to use a low cut filter when i need a spikey sound. Let's you be louder in the mix without being too much.
I instantly think Twin Reverb when I think bright.

Probably so, and I would have to add a treble boost since the down tuning will make it darker. I found that the Eagles used a 12-string Takamine in the studio for intro on the Hotel California, but no mention of if it was mic'd or plugged into an amp. I am not familiar with acoustic amps of that time period but they must have used one since the intro sounds "electrified" and not warm like a mic'd acoustic.
I would like to a least compare a guitar amp profile to the bass amp profile. I want to see what is better, but I do like the sound I am getting with Don's bass profile.

not in my experience.
when using good strings on an adequate scale length guitar, you can get piano-like low notes that have plenty of harmonics.
A SH-4 will always sound a bit nasal on clean sounds - true single coils are best for those almost acoustic sounding cleans.
I changed the magnet on my SH-4 a while back to an AlNiCo 2 and liked the lower midrange bump better, then changed the magnet again for an AlNiCo 8 and that is what I play for near to 90% live now.
That just sounds like a 12 string acoustic with a mic in front and some engineering treatment to me. There's an organ or electric guitar that swells in and out around it too.

It's a Leslie Speaker with a guitar.
For sparkling cleans "alla Surf", I use the 65 Deluxe by ToneJunkie. Although ever with single coils.
Give a try to the latest bass rigs Dan Dean, lots of super clean preamps here, got great tone on my jazzbox.
The cleanest profile I know is the welagen 6 s singer , the free one
I fount a great exemple of that rig in action , killer cleans from the sss
I almost forgot the LA clean from Mats pack , console clear type of rig , I use this one most of the time I need a clean line, a true work horse
For bright sparkly cleans the classic trick in the 80’s was to plug straight into the desk with a DI Box (no amp). Slap on some compression and you have instant sparkle. Try the same thing by just bypassing the Amp and Cab blocks. Or you could load a profile of a classic mic preamp?desk channel strip.
