Profile of bogner alchemist preamp clean channel

  • I tried to profile the preamp of a bogner alchemist by using the send from the effectloop. (Cleanchannel)
    Levels were ok, i refined.
    I compared the result by running both results through the same poweramp and cab.
    The difference was "night and day", in what i would describe as "3D" of a sound.
    It kinda sounded like the difference between a 24bit sound, and a very bad mp3 format.


    Does anyone have an alchemist laying around and can do/did a profile in a simular set up?
    Id like to compare, although i cant think of anything i did wrong in my chain...seems pretty straight forward.


    Maybe using the send for a profile is debatable, but since i use it also for reference, it should sound the same right?
