I have had my Kemper going on 2 years now. My plan was to buy/obtain rigs from others I wanted and use them which I have been doing happily. In this time I have profiled a few amps with a 57 or I5 with results that had me saying "I'll just use someone else's profiles done correctly". I was recording my nice stock 4104 with a condenser mic the other day and the recording sounded so good I thought I'd give profiling a try with that. (I never did before because of the need for phantom power). So I set up an inexpensive mixer with phantom power and ran the board out into the KPA and profiled. The very first profile I made that way (and not fiddling around, doing it very quickly) turned out great and as good as if not better than many profiles I have tried! Kemper really should have allowed for phantom power because dynamic mics (for me anyway) don't produce great results like this.
I want to share this profile and get opinions, can I do that here or only rig exchange? I had the mic a bit off the cone so it could be brighter when direct, but through a cab it sounds great to me. I wish I would have tried the condenser sooner, It's fun to use amps I "wrote" and done with a condenser make a HUGE difference! The amp recorded with a condenser sounded good but the profile of the amp sounds slightly better & more musical but still sounds just like the amp but like it's going through expensive mics and console with a good engineer at the helm. Not really altered just more "finished" in a good way.
I had no desire before, but now that I found out how and how easy it is to get good results, I'm going to mess with this more!
