Fender Concert and TCE Nova System

GRStudios · Dec 18th 2014

Ok, so this is what I did.
I made profiles of (what is basically) my live rig.
When we play live I usually just plug my Telecaster/Les Paul into the Nova, and then into whatever amp they give me at the venue.
I prefer Fender Twin Reverbs. This time I used a Fender Concert, which is basically a Twin with one 12" speaker instead of two.
Amp settings: Volum 5, Treble 5, Bass 6
The Les Paul was used for profiling and refining, and Telecaster for additional tweaking.

I really like these profiles hope you do too
Enjoy!

Your overdriven Super reverb prorfiles are some of my favorite, so I'm sure I will love these too! Thanks bud.

yep these sound great. I think you and I have very common tastes in tone judging by these. I put my michael britts compressor settings up front on a compressor pedal, and then I have an EQ stomp that is basically a TAF EQ sample that works great with my G&L ASAT special that i put up front in one or two of them and voila, I could stay on these all night. Sometimes simple is better, your approach seems very simple. These are great for the nashville style tones I go for on modern country records these days.

Very nice. They work with both SC and humbuckers for me. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes it's nice hearing rigs/profiles like this that would be micd exactly like this in general by a sound guy at some Bodonk venue. We are so spoiled by the KPA using profiles done with mics we would never dream of using live, and sometimes I feel my sound is too " pretty" for lack of a better term. Thesae are super raw, nothing crazy unique or anything, just basically exactly what you would expect from your local sound guy Micing up your amp. I love raw tones like this, great job.

I know, I play in a country/rock band myself.

So, I did these profiles at a local recording studio, but I did what I do every night we play a show. I used the same mic, the same mic placement and I eq the amp the same, so this should be exactly what my live-tone sounds like.

Thank you guys. Glad you like the profiles.

Thanks for these

FYI the GRS Live 04 is a profile of the amp without the nova system.

Curious so I can try, which profile of TAF did you copy so I can try?

I guess 81-83 Paul Rivera Era at Fender. I wish I hadn't sold mine in these days (like many other amps I had ), but now we got 'em in the Kemper Box. This Concert Amp is from my point of view one of the underrated Fenders.
Thank you very much! The Live 3 Rig reminds me on Cry From The Street from D.Gilmour we played in the 80's.

I somehow overlooked these until now. Many thanks!

Oh I just found this here. Sounds very interesting because I played a Fender Concert amp some time ago and really liked it. But the Dropbox download link seems to be broken. Can you fix it?
