Marc Cormier Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I went for both of these expansions and am not disappointed. I don't know if I really need anything else in the amp sim category but still holding out hope for a new Scuffham release this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Thanks Larry, Mesh for the vid and Marc for the recommendation. I couldn't decide between the packs so got both. Seems great value for around 32 GBP for both. BTW TH-U seems to have been updated 1.0.13. Edited July 12, 2019 by ZincT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesh Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Would these work in TH3 (full)? Wasn't sure whether to wait and upgrade later for TH-U and hopefully get this included or just get the packs now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Mesh but according to this page it is only supported by TH-U --> https://www.overloud.com/products/choptones-fried-be50d They are delivered as .riglib files, so does TH-3 support those? When I tried to register BRIT 1987 it said the serial was in use by another account and I haven't received one yet for Fried BE50D. So I have emailed JRR about this. Hopefully will hear back soon.

Mesh Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thanks for the link ZT, I'll take a look. Possibly JRR might have given out too many serials and some may have been dups? They're usually pretty good with customer service, so hope it gets resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hopefully just a glitch, thanks Mesh. Btw I just tried dropping one of the riglib files into TH-3 and it didn't allow it (gave a "circle cross" symbol for the mouse cursor indicating forbidden).

See, they could've easily got more money from us TH3 users.....but nooooooo. Thanks for saving me the hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) It's an evil ploy to get you to upgrade to TH-U, Mesh 😈 JRR got back to me quickly and have now sent working serials for both. Thanks Uncle E 👍🏻 I can see what I will be doing this weekend Edited July 12, 2019 by ZincT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cormier Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hey, Mesh. I went back and forth with whether to upgrade and i'm glad I did. There seems to be more sonic glue in these profiles over and above what I get using stock presets and adding my own IRs which were very good to begin with. Just an opinion, for sure. I'm embarrassed at how many amp sims I've chased; variety is good, no question, but dam*. ZincT, the real meat of the libraries is found not in the presets themselves but by clicking on the patch name in the amp (kemper?) head. There's over 240 of them for the Friedman amp alone and can take some time to sift through. Based on them changing amps, stomp boxes, cabs, etc. for each set up, there's a ton of variety for anyone. My only gripe is that you can't change the settings on any of the outside hardware independently; mics and pedals come baked in to each rig. Having said that, there are 240 setups.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thanks for the heads-up Marc. Really loving these presets and with all those amp/cab variations it could take all month to explore all of the sounds on offer 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and even more as you can still turn off rig player internal mic/cabs simulation and use other cabinet sim or even external IR so it give about 'quintillion' possibilities... I am real overwhelmed by all those choices 🙄 I cannot live with 1000s favorites 😲 I need to commit something to go further 😢 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
