Hello All
We decided not to go the standard VOX, FENDER, PLEXI route, there are already tons of great profiles available. My profiles are also not in the super heavy genre, that's not what I normally work with, and again there are better people than me out there to create the "heavy" stuff. The RokPak sounds are what I use in my projects. Granted not all profiles will be useful for everybody, some might be more fitting for secondary tracks. Everybody will probably like different profiles from the Paks in their own productions. It's the same as with any preset (drums, effects, compression, EQ etc.) they will not work on every track. But I think for a great Rock album the RokPak will cover your ass
I understand the demand for single amp profiles, but as you know, I am not really in the business of making profiles, I am a producer/engineer making records. Taking time out of my busy schedule to create single amp profiles would get way to expensive and the RokPaks are the only way I can do it. But I thought people might like some of the amps that are special to my studio and not available anywhere else. On top of that, I might have different ways of looking at a guitar sound, but it has served me well over the years. I paid over $200,000 to get my hands on these profiles, counting all the
gear, mics amps cabs, mic pres and other studio gear that I had to pay for to make these profiles happen, so I think $240 (after September 15th) is a fair price for over 200 profiles.
There were already some voices here talking about sharing the profiles. I would hope that people here have a bit more integrity than that. It simply comes down to: if we can make close to our money back on the RokPak (yeah right ;( ), I might think about getting a bunch of my "famous" guitar player friends together and profile their vintage amps and specific tones. There are a lot, and some true gems among them, enough to make a true vintage/VIP Pak. If people go and share the RokPak profiles, the next Pak will never happen, just not worth it to me.
In the meantime you can listen to the new Tesla album "Simplicity", and Mark Slaughters new album "Reflections In A Rear View Mirror". Mark exclusively used profiles from the RokPak on all guitars and bass and when I mixed the new Tesla album "Simplicity" I used a bunch of those profiles for re-amping. I'll ask Mark if it's OK to post a track here, so you can hear the Paks in a song, it's in the video on the website, but it's hard to hear in the background.
Now, LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!
