I use about 15, but of those I use St. Louis 3 and Long Echo the most. These two have been altered a little to suit my personal tastes.

Lloyd Green patches are nice

Hughey 1 and Hughey 2 are nice

Also, the Larry Sasser patches sound good.

Bobby, I found all the settings extremely
muddy , however the Lloyd and John H. settings were probably the best, The ones
I made myself are quite close to my 400 in tone, The thing about the Profex 11 is their
always seems to be a sort of processed
quality about it, not really in a bad way,
just not quite as real sounding as an amp.
I still like it more than some of the other
processors out their, but man I don't even
look at the factory steel programs for myself. Just boomy and bassy, not clear and
articulate, which it can do . Experiment!

Wow, thanks Greg. Finally someone who agrees with me on the Pfx II and the bassy Newman Settings. I had a Pfx II for a year and never got anything but Chalker type sounds out of it (Chalker is great but I don't like that basssy a sound). The Lemay mod really improves the Pfx II but it's still a Pfx II.

I have a Transtube Fex and it's what the Profex II should have been. Even the Newman settings sound better on it but they do not use the Analog preamp and would have to be modified so I did my own programs for the Transtube Fex and they sound much better

Jack, You might find this interesting, I tried the Boss VF1 with this used ProfexII
that I purchased, and found the ProfexII
sweeter in tone, the Boss to my ears was
just a tad hard sounding, but cleaner &
quieter than the Profex.
Most of the Steel Players I know for some
reason ,refuse to make their own settings
with the ProfexII, they like to see their
mentors name on the screen I guess. Greg
