== Naming ==
I like to conform to the following naming format:
<code><AUTHOR INITIALS> <AMP> [<Channel>][<CAB>][<MIC>][<STUDIO/DIRECT/MERGED INDICATOR>][<PACK SEQEUNCE NBR>][<TONE DESCRIPTION>]</code>
Examples:
* "MAB PodHD JP MkIIC+ Ld" - MeAmBobbo Pod HD patch seeking to recreate a John Petrucci Mark IIC+ Lead tone
* "MAB PodHD Rect 4" - MeAmBobbo Pod HD patch, 4th rig of the Rectifier model in pack
* "MAB 5150 MarsT75 SM57" - MeAmBobbo 5150 amp through a Marshall cab with T75 speakers, mic'ed with an SM-57
I like to use capital letters together for acronyms or initials, but otherwise use a capital only for the first letter of a word, which allows similar categories of words to be mushed together (ex. "AmbLd" for ambient lead).
When I initially name a rig, I'm not super careful to get everything right or add every detail - I can add that later via Rig Manager. I just need enough to know relate what I did when I created the profile; to remember the particulars or general target tone of the real rig.
