    So I can profile..
    1) full amp with cab and power amp (obvious)
    2) pre-amp and power amp without cab??
    3) just the pre-amp??
    4) are their cabinet profiled to line up with your preamp?


    If you just have a pre-amp.. do I need softwared DAW sim cabs or do I use a Kemper profiled cab?


    Project 1 will be profiling my VHT 50/12 Pitbull..


    1) I'll profile with sure SM57 thru my DAW ..


    2) will I need some type of radial box to profile preamp only/pre-amp & poweramp?

    3) also.. will I need to blend mics with a ribbon/dynamic if the Sure SM57 has too much mid.. or do I have some mid cut via the DAW on my Sure 57?


    Thanks!!-sg

  • 1) full amp with cab and power amp (obvious) = Studio Profile


    2) pre-amp and power amp without cab?? = Direct Amplifier Profile


    3) just the pre-amp?? = DI/Preamp Profile


    Yes, to 1, 2, and 3



    4) are their cabinet profiled to line up with your preamp?


    If you just have a pre-amp.. do I need softwared DAW sim cabs or do I use a Kemper profiled cab?


    A preamp + a cabinet would not include the sound of an amplifier.


    There is another type of Profile called a Merged Profile. It is made from a Studio Profile + Direct Amplifier Profile, and contains a Cabinet that can be added to other Direct Amplifier Profiles.

    You do not need a DI box to profile a preamp. You DO need one to profile a preamp/poweramp. You want one that supplies a line level signal, without Speaker Simulation.

    This depends on what sound you want - if you cannot postion a 57 to givr you the sound you prefer, you can use more than one mic.
