M Britt Kemper Profiles

  • I am lucky enough to be one of the people that Michael asked for feedback on the 69 Marshall profile. Although I am a huge fan of Michael's profiles, it's his 70' 100 watt Marshall that has been my main gigging profile since I started gigging the Kemper. I think it may always be. I am a big fan of 100 watt marshall plexi's. So at my gig on Saturday, I used the the 69 Marshall about 30% of the time. It's a great profile and its right up there with the 100watter. Its a tad brighter, with a tad more bite on the top end and a bit more spongy. Just like the differences between an actual 50 and 100 watt Marshall. When I first tried the profile with my R9, I thought "early Aerosmith". I immediately started playing Toys in the attic.
    The funny thing is, the day of my gig I watched a bunch of videos of Matt O Ree playing his Trainwreck amps on tour with Bon Jovi. The Wreck was cutting through the mix on solos much better than Phil X's Friedman's. So I loaded in the Trainwrecks from Michael's Pack 1(the second version update I call 1.2) and tried them at the gig. They are really great profiles and often overlooked when people talk about their favorites. The sustain is amazing and they really cut through the mix great.

  • I use the /13 as my go to for clean and single coil dirt rigs.
    For the dirt, I add Micheal's compressor and boost in front.


    I also recently started using the Dirty Shirley for single coil as a new fave.


    My go to humbucker profile for heavy stuff is the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme, the ODS Ford 12 I believe, so thick!


    The 70 SL with the Timmy is also a fave.


    I own all the packs except the Vintage, since I don't do much of that style.


    Pack 2 and Dumble so far are my faves.

  • Have a big gig coming up on Oct 21st. Generally use my own profiles but going through my Britt profiles and think I may give some of these a go. Really digging the Bletchly and Diezel profiles for some of the hard rock stuff we will be doing.

  • Yeah, the Dirty Shirley profiles made their way into my steady rotation at my last gig. As did the Hedgehog, Ceriatone ODS, and Vox AC30. But now I really want to try the Fuchs ODS, Diezel, and a few others.

  • I recently saw a post from Jimmy Olander of Diamond Rio on facebook with Michael profiling his Matchless amp. Please Michael, please tell me you're going to release that profile as well!


    Here you go for all the folks that aren't on Facebook. :)

    What an amazing day I had spending some time profiling my favorite
    old Matchless amp and Maybelle with "Tone Guru" Michael Britt!!! For
    non-guitar players...proceed with caution, this gets pretty "gear geeky"
    for the rest of this thread. For the rest of us 6 string crazies…you
    may enjoy this…


    Anyone who's using Kemper's has probably figured
    out Michael is the "Man" amongst boys when it comes to profiling amps. I
    got a Kemper Profiling Amp and liked it
    only to fall in "love" when I loaded up the Britt profiles. I have been
    using some of his tweaked Divided By 13 profiles with Maybelle (my main
    tele) and really digging them. So much so at the end stage of the
    latest Diamond Rio project I ended up re-amping the entire project with
    one profile or another from his collection. This very much impacted the
    sonics of what I was doing in a much better direction.
    OK…let's fast
    forward to today. I show up at "The Cave" (Britt's secret laboratory)
    with the Matchless, Maybelle and Taxi with fingers crossed that we can
    stumble onto something even more satisfying than what I have been
    playing though. Guess what? Yahtzee!!!!
    He put his special tone
    sauce on what I thought was cool and "wah-lah"…I sound amazing!!! Isn't
    that what we're all hoping and striving for? I know I am!
    Today we
    loaded up and made multiple profiles of "my" Matchless, a boutique Black
    Face Dlx Clone, two different Divided By 13 amps and a 3rd Power.
    EVERYTHING IS USABLE FOR ME!!!!
    What's interesting is that today any
    EQ changes or hand to amp interaction problems were addressed by
    frequency saturation using gain stages from different front end inputs
    like a Timmy pedal, Klone or something else he had wired up custom
    himself. Mind you I was going for mostly clean (but beefy) sounding tele
    tones synonymous with what you might expect from me. The process was
    super custom and highly interactive.
    I can't express how much doing a
    custom session with someone like Michael that "gets it" yields
    fantastic results. Our interaction might sound like, "I like the shimmer
    we're getting but for some some reason this is difficult to play and
    feels unforgiving on "single notes with a pick" stuff." Michael pushes
    something, turns a few knobs, listens…frowns…turns something else (all
    while I'm playing) and BOOM…there it is! TONE!!!!
    If you go the Kemper route, waste no time and get this done with him. You can thank me later.
    Peace!!!
