I got a PM and was asked to post a request for SGP from a soon-to-be-KPA-owner. Obviously, he cannot post in the private area of the forum yet. He wanted to PM you, but couldn't - so he asked if I could post this to you.
So here's his request to you:

Quoted

If possible, profile with a yjm signature guitar or a stratocaster with Dimarzio HS-3 or yjm pickups (250k pots).
The pickups have very low output which might be important for the profiling results.
Try profiling with a light gauge set like 09-46.

Also, try to profile with a Marshall 4x12 cab or other cab with Celestion GT12 75w speakers.
That might be very important as well for the most authentic tone.

Love the amp, but have actually returned it.
I discovered that I preferred a Rockcrusher attenuator to the internal one, and found that the internal booster didn't work as well with my main gigging guitars (EVH wolfgang, pretty high output) as a TS9 or SD1, so Im looking to buy a good plexi reissue instead. I didn't realise just how fantastic a wound up plexi sounded till I got this amp, but as I wasn't too keen on the attenuator or the boost I figured a bog standard plexi would be easier to maintain in the long run.
I did a load of profiles though with and without the internal booster, both direct and with the 5153 cab. Im in the process of labelling up and sorting all the amp and cab profiles.
In all I think I shot about 50 odd profiles.
Im still evaluating the best ones to put up on the exchange.
If anyones is in a particular hurry PM me and I can always email a folder with all the profiles in.

Your PM isn't activated. :)

Could you possibly zip the folder and Dropbox it?

Second that if you could drop box them all in a zip file that would be super!!! Do you have any other 5153 profiles? I really liked your first ones.

Weird, I just pmd Spence about the Matrix coaxials...
Never mind.
I will sort a dropbox download for you when I get home early evening.
Im afraid you will have to wade through some weird naming conventions etc as I just do whatever it takes to move on quickly while Im actually profiling lol.

@Jeddie, can do some more no problem.

It will be early next week.
My KPA is going back to the dealers to be replaced with a new one to try to bottom out my recent 'crashing' woes so I will be without it for a few days.
Did you have any preferences? DI, Palmer speaker sim or miced? If I know what u r looking for I can do a good few 'in the ballpark' to get as close to your requirements as I can.

Cheers

Andy

@schneidas
Alas I no longer have the YJM as stated above.
The profiles I have work very well with Tylers 1960 cabs if thats any consolation re the speakers.

@jeddie.

Re YJM
Not so much problems more the combination of high output guitars, the built in boost and the built in attenuator caused overloading problems whereby the sound got horribly mushy at medium gain levels.
Remove any one of those 3 things and it just sings.
I did the profiles with the attenuator off (my god its loud) and I loved the sound.
I also loved it with either an sd1 or a TS9 with the built in attenuator.
I loved the built in boost with a Rockcrusher attenuator.
Overall I preferred the Rockcrusher to the built in attenuator, which just refuses to allow the power amp tubes to go into that lovely squidgy power amp distortion.

Re 5153 profiles...

OK will do.

The last ones I did after seeing a pic of his amp with sharpie marks on it, but I think this is slightly different so will do them anyway.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks SGP! Both for the detailed review of the amp and the profiles to come.
Really looking forward to those - not in a hurry though - so take your time :)

You can PM anyone that is set to recieve PM's on this board but you need to activate PM's in your profile settings to be able to recieve PM's.
You can do this in "My profile -> Settings -> Communications -> (check) Enable reception of private messages"

Thanks, I figured it was kinda late for this request. It was a request by another user who can't post in that thread yet.
