Looking for Surf tones

Hi there,
just got the KPA a few days ago and i like it very much!
Especially, for crunch and saturated sounds.
Not as impressed with clean sounds yet, but it may be that i haven't found great profiles yet...
Any one cares to recommend a few excellent clean profiles?
I am especially interested in surf tones: Dick Dale, The Shadows...etc and also some funk tones...etc
Thanks!

Get the Bassman 01 profile and the Hiwatt clean. Andy's rig pack also has some very nice clean tones.

The trick to a great surf tone is a fender strat or single coil neck pickup, a fender amp of some nature, some good reverb and the occasional dab of tremelo. You should spend some time getting used to the different reverb models in the kemper and dialing them in with a good fender amp model.

Here's a great article on choosing equipment for surf guitar:

http://surfguitar101.com/news/story/11/


There are a lot of great 60s Fender amp profiles here. I like the Dual Showman in this link, and I use it with And44's Fender Twin cab:

1968 Dual Showman DI

Now get out there and hang 10!

Very useful, thanks!
I can't locate this profile and the link provided seems to be a MIDI file...

Does the KPA offer Fender tube reverb?
If not, this would be a welcome addition!
