Someone profiled Tone of "Positive Grid Bias" so far?

  • Yes. I profiled the settings of a couple amp sims off the positive grid iPad stuff and it duplicates it very well......however the "real" amp kemper profiles sounded better so I stopped.

    "More Guitar in the Monitors" :thumbup:

  • Alright nice to hear, Im interested because I don't have own amps anymore and want to tonematch some recordings. Mmm of the Positive Grid worth it then.


    Would love if we could get a feature to choose a Profile we have in the KPA as reference amp in the Kemper Profiler mode for tonematch at Refining.

    Refining is not what's called 'tonematching'.
    Tonematching itself is rather overrated IMHO. Very often it's simply overdone. Smoothing and the Mix parameter of 'matching EQs' need to be set carefully by ear, simply using the highest resolution (no smoothing) and a 100% wet mix will always sound... weird.


    But if you have a profile in the Profiler you like and would like to get some of that sound into a profile you made (or any other for that matter) - just choose the cabinet of the first one.

    Refining the Profile
    After the automatic profiling procedure, the Profile is nearly done and very close to the original already. Now it’s time to give it the final polish: press “Refine Profile” and play your guitar for about twenty seconds. This is no time for a meaningful solo - you need to play several chords, with attitude! This will generate inter-modulation in the distortion that the Profiler needs to do its refining. Be sure to strum especially hard so that the Profiler has a chance to analyze the transients. When you feel that you have refined the Profile enough, press the blinking soft button to stop the process. Now make another A/B comparison to check the result. Repeat the process until you are satisfied.
    The refining process is actually independent of the type of your guitar. It is about adapting the distortion characteristics, as well as polishing the attack and dynamic response. The resulting Profile will act and respond accurately no matter what guitar or pickup you use.
    With completely clean sounds, you don’t need to worry about refining the distortion characteristics, so “Refine Profile” isn’t available. If you find that the Profile offers a wider dynamic range, and a higher volume in the transients compared to the original, the reason is probably that the original sound was, in fact, slightly distorted. This would have caused a small amount of compression, thereby affecting the result of the profiling process. In such a case, simply repeat the whole procedure, but without using the “Clean” option.
    Power amp tubes generate a different type of overtone structure than preamp tubes. They distort with a harsher sound, because the negative feedback in the power amp circuit linearizes the tube amplification. This makes the distortion curve edgier. If you notice in the A/B comparison that the reference amp produces more high frequency distortion when light distortion is applied, you should set the “Tube shape” parameter to about 9.0, to get the same behavior from the Profile.

    Thx for posting mister

  • You think it can work to make a DI amp Profile of the Bias Amp model, so I can put my better sounding 5153 Kpa Amp in the taken studio Profile?


    Can make amps both sound nearly the same with tweaking in tone but when it comes to distortion and dynamics the Kemper Profile is better sounding by playing at any event.
