Can a recorded tone be Profiled

  • Im wondering if its possible to hook up the Kemper to an audio source/DAW and play a recorded guitar only tone (lets say "eruption" by Van Halen) and then end up with that tone as a profile?
    cheers

  • No. You have to have an amp that you can physically plug into. There's no tone-matching features on the Kemper.

  • Hi Dougc84
    Thanks for replying
    If that's the case i wonder how people have profiled the Axefx and various VST amps such as Sgear and amplitube which are in the rig exchange?


    Yep. @DonPetersen is right though - it should certainly be tagged as such. I've seen Fender CyberTwin, AxeFX, Line 6 XT Live, Line 6 X3, and others. If it has an input and can output either via a 1/4" out or a speaker (requiring a mic to profile, obviously), it can probably be profiled. However, if you decide to profile your own modelers, just know that you cannot profile much more than the amp model w/ speaker sim and an overdrive (though probably not a fuzz). Sometimes EQs work, sometimes not. Any noise gates, modulation, time, gating, etc. effects need to be disabled.


    If you're looking to profile an exact ambient sound with complex signal routing, a couple delays and reverbs, a noise gate, and some peculiar EQ, you're not going to have very good success. The amp block is what is profiled - it's just the amp.
