I think a lot of Andy's profiles, especially the old ones, had a lot of volume tweaks in the chain - most often a studio EQ (or more). Often not doing anything other than raising the volume. I imagine that he may have copied an fx chain from another profile for convenience, and then tweaked from there. I wouldn't read too much into it, go with what sounds good. I guess if the studio EQs are before the compressor you'd need to adjust the compressor also if you turned the EQ off to get the same result.

That sounds pretty painful and cumbersome - having to replace the entire profile in your performances just to change the mic balance.
Maybe easier to separate profiling and speaker miking: do one DI profile of your amp without speaker and create different Impulse Response mixes (with varying levels of the 121) to try with your profile. Now at soundcheck just switch IRs with the same profile until you're happy.I don't see how that would be easier than taking a number of profiles with same reference amp settings, only difference being the blending.
Spend 5-10 minutes with the band playing in rehearsal to find the best candidate - work on that reference point from home. You don't need to add it to performances before you know what you will ultimately be using.

Sticky tac?

Then use the mooer. In either case, I'm done with this thread. I told you how to do it, and you don't want to do it. You want someone else to do it. I'm done.
This is a thread in the Feature Requests part of the forum - not the Q&A. It's fine to offer advice on alternative means, but there's no reason to get miffed when the OP stands by his or her request.

listening to these productions feels like having a DC offset or a constant, unchanging pressure on my ears to me (if you know what I mean).
Sort of like Metallica's "Death Magnetic"

It would depend on the source material, both how the amp reacts and how the player plays.
And you can use a compressor for several purposes - e.g. shaping the attack, or leveling out volume differences

there is no "more feeling with LP".
LP is just an Parametric EQ with a Q, a max and a min. You can have the same "behaviour" with no LP rigs...Um, no.

OS 10 is Beta, so what….
Yeah! Holy shit man, if it doesn’t work - go back to latest stable release. It’s not rocket science

Nevermind Slash’s guitar. Have you seen the new video from Vertex where they play through Eric Johnson’s Dumble 😮
At the end Mason says the amp is for sale at his mate’s shop and shows the listing $399,999.99.
How about ckemper makes Liquid Profile and models the Tone Stack. When released in the Factory Content folder that would be a $400k upgrade to existing units at no cost. Now that’s value added customer service 😍
Now that is just riciculous. Prices have now officially left the known Universe.

I actually think it would be easier and more efficient to have the options as softkeys but I also see pros and cons to each method. Continuing with current philosophy does definitely benefit from maintaining consistency of workflow which is a very important consideration.
From a workflow point of view it would definitely make sense to me to have the options as soft keys - instead of tweaking the dials, then deciding “I want to try with this switch engaged”, then switching to a different profile, re-tweak the dials from scratch, then decide to change another switch, repeat the process etc…. Sounds like a nightmare to me.

Was confused what the "Fan Pro" is based on. Now I see it has no "Middle", so i guess it is a Fender Pro Amp, but not the newer 68 Custom Pro Reverb.
The addendum manual lists the amps for all the liquid models:
In this case - Fender Pro(R)
-
Yes exactly. I think he's asking for an "auto-save" feature when switching to a different profile

Fellow dabbler. Always tuned to zero cents. It's likely both a matter of technique and tone to get a good pick attack without pulling sharp. In my limited experience (and to my tastes), heavier picks have not been the best approach. I prefer slightly softer picks for bass than I do on guitars. It may be that your picking angle is the culprit (and there are two angles to consider here, which is hard to convey in words - but one is "rotation" along an axis perpendicular to the body of the instrument, and another is along an axis which is parallel to the strings).
I think particularly for bass, there are more components to the sound of the attack than we typically think of for guitar, hereunder "clackiness". It's also a matter of what you want the attack to do in context of the song. Is attack really all that important, or can the main attack come from (especially) the kick drum instead?

Regardless of the reasons, I think you would be hard pushed to find many artists that have a viable income stream from physical CD or Vinyl sales alone.
Hmmm... I think that has been the case for many decades. The record company gave you an advance, which was both your salary for the album(s) the contract covered, and also for studio rental, paying producers, mixers, recording engineers... Marketing... bla bla bla...
Royalties are then used to pay back that advance, and only once that advance was paid out did you receive any royalties for sales from that point on.
I will say that the worst happened due to file sharing (Napster etc), which caused the record companies to consolidate around the "sure hits", as opposed to spending some of their budget on more "risky" artists.

I wouln't characterize going from 'cheap stock tubes' (whatever that is) to JJs as a significant upgrade.
I agree - I wouldn't characterise it as "a significant upgrade"; more like "a noticable difference" (still based on this one experiment).
-
I was reacting to this part:
In a "pure" simple amp circuit like an old champ it matters more than like a Blackstar amp where you can put any functional AX7 under the sun in it and it won't make any difference that anyone could tell.
The amp I tested this with was definitely more in the Blackstar camp than Champ camp (Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18)
It was the first time I tried switching out tubes and for my part I was surprised how much of a difference it made going from the cheap stock tubes to JJs. I wouldn't call it subtle at all. But of course not to the degree like switching from LP to tele, or putting a pedal in front etc. In that light I guess you could call it subtle.

From my small experiments with changing preamp tubes (and recording via reamping) there can definitely be a difference in preamp tubes, no question about it. But whether those changes could be negated / introduced via gain and EQ controls may be a different matter.

Hi Matt,
Out of curiosity - what is the difference between the 12 profiles? I can see that there are profiles of three channels of the amp - what else?
