Great review! I would like to know how the Kemper Player handles profiles like the Tue Madsen ones, or something like that, originally created for the big units. Is there some kind of "translation" from the original profiles? Thanks a lot!
Thanks! That is a great question. I'm not sure I know the answer. As far as I can tell, the Profiler Player uses the same profiles, it's just a little more limited in terms of switching assignments than the big units and it may not have as large of a list of FX. But I believe it can use all the same amp profiles. I would have to look more into that to tell you for sure. Maybe someone who has the Kemper Profiler amp head can tell us on here?
I don't know if is possible, but can you share the profile (all the setup, amp, fx, parameters etc) that you used on your song? I really enjoyed the final result. I'm trying to learn a little bit more about the kemper profile and your tone seems really good to use as a reference
Thank you! I left my pedal in my office at work but maybe I can give you more details next time I'm there. What I know for sure is I used the two Mesa rigs as-is without making any adjustments on the Kemper. My lead tone was the Mesa LSS FUZZ by JIM in Rig Exchange (gain 5 out of 10) and the other one was GB - Mesa Royal Atlas. Can't remember who made that one on Rig Exchange off the top of my head, but I think I just used their default EQ and Gain setting. The delay is the Legacy Delay. I hit "load defaults" then adjusted it, but I can't remember exactly how I set it. In Pro Tools I did put some light delay on, then I use some subtle EQ. Hi-pass filter around 100 Hz, a 3 DB volume bump around 275-300 Hz. On Rhythm I may have cut some around 8.5kHz and boosted the lead around 8.5 kHz. Hope that helps!
I agree. I've been playing the Kemper live for a few weeks now and I am enjoying just listening to the tone through the PA so much. Even simple stuff like basic chords. To me, I feel like there's no dropoff from my Mesa tube amp!
