Hi!
I’m a huge fan of Kotzen tones, Marshallesque plexi tones.
Tones that you can play and feel like an amp without having to put a lot of gain, dynamics, easy to play even with faster lines. A dynamic and raging rock crunch tone!
I have a Stage since April and was not really in love (more hate) with the kemper.
But that was before I tried the Kotz profiles by Bert Meulendjik!
There’s one profile that is awesome and really nails those dirty yet dynamic plexi like tones.
I recorded (one shot sorry could have been better) the Mother’s Head Family Reunion solo of Richie Kotzen with one of those profiles.
Didn’t touch anything, reverb and delay is untouched, I just engaged the pure boost as it was and just raise the gain by 1.0.
Guitar is a 50th anniversary strat (2004) with Fender Texas Special neck/middle and Jb jr in bridge (but here I use only the neck pup)
Xlrs into Soundcard into logic. No eq or mastering. Pan left right +-25. The solo is mixed really front forward on purpose of listening. Would sound better if more in the mix.
I’m gonna test the performance I made live with my band this week. Hope it translates well going foh.
What do you think?
have a great day.
Ps: i realizes that the original solo had more gain but really close anyway.
