Kemper Amps Forum

Lamb of God is up now! AWESOME!!!!

Quoted from "HappyKemper"

The guy from silentundergroundstudio also posted the gear list in the video comments.
He figures out the eq with software and then adjusts the eq with 2 x DBX 31-band eq's.
So it's yet another creative way of getting great results with the Kemper profiling amp.
quote from the Megadeth profile video:

"I use an MXR GT-OD pedal (as a boost) into an Orange Rockerverb Head
through a Blackstar 4x12" Cabinet with Vintage 30 speakers Miced with a
Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser MD421 into a Mackie Desk this then runs into
2 x DBX 31-Band EQ's and back to the Kemper. I figure out the EQ
settings via Frequency Analyser Software."

This is indeed a very creative way of doing this, but compared to using ozone the matching results are not as precise. I already wondered how he did the profiles, cause some profiles were pretty close and others were not so. Ozone´s match eq uses about 8000!!! bands which are so narrow that you can recreate even the finest nuances. Under normal circumstances, such extreme eq settings will result in heavy phase issues. The Great thing is that the KPA doesnt care about this maybe becuase of the "snapshot" way of capturing. So even a heavy phasing signal can result in a perfect KPA profile.

In all cases, tonematching will only work 100% if you do it yourself for your own setup, with your own guitar and your own style of playing.

What am I doing wrong when I download the silentundergroundstudio cabs?
I cant seem to copy and paste them after downloading, they show an error.

Hi Tyler,

I cant post in the private area but was wondering if you could clarify this post I found that you made below. I really want to make some tone matches myself but I do not have an external amp. I do have an AxeFXII though. If I could use that could you explain how exactly I could make profiles with it? How do I connect it up etc. But I am thinking of going the route you described below. Am I correct on this process........

First capture the EQ of my reference guitar track in ozone, then save the EQ captured file.

Then I record a clip of me playing whatever I am profiling and save it.

Then I use a plugin to apply the ozone EQ file ontop of the track I just recorded and overwrite my clip with the tone matched EQ? Also I'm on a Mac. What plugin would allow me to import the EQ curve ontop of my recorded track?

After that I save the new track and it will be the new Tone matched file instead of the clip I played?

I thought you have to have an amp in there somewhere, a real amp or even a software based amp. Does this technique bypass the need for an amp? Seems you just record your reference tone with the Kemper right?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. If I can't do the profile, can I do the following

Guitar --> KPA --> DAW --> Ozone --> Monitors

I could then save the EQ.
Yes, this will work. This is very comfortable to do in Ozone, cause you can simply export and import the eq curves. So once you have the right curves you can transform your sound with a plugin preset and you´re done.

Thanks for the info Happy,had a listen and they sound fine but i think it would be good if they used a different set up for a change.

Where do i get that Dream Theater EQ Match rig?!

Damn! I knew there was going to be a problem when I saw SilentUndergroundStudios all of a sudden making AXE tones! I asked if they were done making Kemper tones. They responded:
"Hey,
Unfortunately the Kemper is gone and we are now currently working with Fractal Audio and the AXE FX II.
Thank you so much for the support and interest !!

These guys were making great (& free) contributions to the community. Did Fractal buy them out? They were losing customers because of the excitement generated from their tone matches. Some of you tone entrepreneurs ought to jump in and cash in!
