Share your secrets (or at least your tips) to using boost/OD/distortion/Fuzz with different profiles?

  • I've been trying to figure out what. So far I have decent luck with profiles that have around 25% gain. But there are more parameters to keep in mind, such as input sensitivity. Curious how to get the most mileage out of driving profiles.


    On a related note, what is a 'clean' channel and a 'dirty' channel for a profile? Is it primarily the input sensitivity?

    that really depends on the amp being profiled. Some amps have a single channel with an extra gain stage that gets switch in for the dirty channel. Others have two or more completely independent channels.

    There aren't channels on a Kemper profile. It's not like a typical modeler because it's not actually modelling the amp. A profile is like a snapshot of the amp and cabinet signal chain, so it's as clean or dirty as it was profiled. You can add extra gain with the gain knob, but that's in no way like switching channels on the real amp.
