Hey ProfexII users - I'm re-visiting my Profex II w/the Jeff Newman patches - which one do you like/use the most? Thanks!!

#99, Subtle Ch1.
I pointed it out to a couple of friends and now they're using it.
It may be a bit too much chorus and reverb for some folks of course.[This message was edited by David Cobb on 02 March 2004 at 09:36 PM.]

My 1st fav. is # 14,"Buddy". Next is 122,"St Louis # 2",for ballads. Then,I like 41,"Palace Les" for blues & jazz. # 83,"Mooney # 2",for Buck Owens,& Wynn Stewart songs. # 109,"5th down" for up-tempo,single-string solos. 113,"Dobro?",for obvious reasons,# 33,"R&R Fuzz",for obvious reasons.. I think that the ProFex II is one of the most versatile processers made today!

Dyke,

I like:

66 Emmons
Hughey 1
Lloyd Green
Subtle 400
Big Chorus

I have the Newman Card loaded into my Transtube Fex. I have replaced the amplifier setting on all of the 'orig' Profex II patches with the Tube Preamp (TB).

These have really taken alot of the work out of getting a good setting...at least it provided a good start point.

I normally take settings that I quite like, then edit and tweak them to my ears - just to add the sweetness that I prefer.
A lot of the presets are good places to start - but I prefer to customise them to my requirements. Your right about the Profex II, there isn't much else out there that comes close as far as user friendliness and ease of use.

None now cause I sold mine. Just using a BOSS RV-3 reverb/delay with a Goodrich Steel-Driver II.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I have some good ideas now, and also got some new settings while in Dallas! You can close this one Joey!

I once got a copy off Billy Phelps' card. One setting really kept me puzzeled for a year or so. The whole signal came delayed and warbled, out of tune and chorused. I couldn't use it and I could not imagine anybody could.
Then I started to get tired of the whole stereo-beef up and bought a couple of old good sounding plain amps. They all sounded good but their reverb was not what I had gotten used to with the ProFex. So, it occured to me to run my main sound dry trou one of my good sounding amps and run a second line tru the ProFex just for reverb and maybe delay. Then, accidently I came accross that misterious setting again and all of a sudden I had a sound I had never experienced bevore. I sounded like on a record! I tuned the volumes (dry (good sounding) amp versus (surround sound) ProFex). It's great to play along records because it makes you fit into the "record" sound and in the tuning bandwith as your sound becomes wider because of the shift and the chorus.
Sorry, I don't remember the programm string but I can tell you that the signal was frist going trou a shifter then some chorus and reverb maybe some delay was added. It sounds dreadful alone.

The only problem is that now you have one big combo amp, a rack set, and two stand alone speakers, besides a steel guitar and that ugly seat to carry around.

... J-D.

Nr 69 crispy tube + Behringer reverb and delay, and sometimes some chorus, is a very well sounding mix.
