How about to work on KPA main market advantage , instead to waste a time by fulfilling axe oriented demands ??

  • we don't actually NEED all our profiles and I think we are not really in need of a librarian, more so Just to have a little will power and delete the ones we don't use... I mean, if we had all real tube amps, how many would you have in your house at one time... or your bedroom or living room or studio... 10 absolutely maximum... we don't need so many rigs to get our jobs and hobbies done

    :!:


    I kept the minimum profiles in the KPA.
    However, KPA has many other toppings parameters.
    For me, an editor or librarian is useful to avoid repetitive manipulations directly on the KPA ...

  • Are we talking about the accuracy of the profiling process or the quality of the resulting profiles?


    It is interesting to read sometimes about "the signature sound" of the Profiler.
    How did you evaluate the "own voice that is not equal to good tube amps"?
    By listening to the factory or user profiles?


    Hi,
    I did both, profiled my own stuff but also auditioned almost all of over 2k rigs I have imported, made printouts, made notes, gave marks to my favs and so on.
    The accuracy of the profiles that I did myself is fine for me. That's not my task.
    There is something that I find which is typical and similar all over the profiles: The curve of the volume pot of my guitar gets reflected in a different way and it is the same when I make volume variantions in my playing.
    When I play my guitars with tubeamps I usually have a fatter sound when the pot is full open and when I roll back from there it's getting -depending on the amount of drive- less distorted, less loud and less fat or thinner. It's beginning to loose fatness rather linear and all from the start when I roll the volume back. And it's similar when I pick harder vs. softer. That way I can vary my sound and my volume much without the need for another preset, a lower one or louder one, I can do variations from my guitar and that's far more convenient than having different presets for it. OK, that's how good tubeamp react, stomps and solid state stuff don't care about softer picking .
    The reaction of the KPA is different. The sounds stays fat for a long way of the volume pot, it's getting thin at the end of the pot's way. The same way softer strucks with the pick do not cause loosing much fatness when the pot is open, it is hard for me to vary when the pot is full up. It's better at the very end of the pot.
    That's an impression that I have over all profiles somehow. And for me that is one part of the KPAs voice. I got used to that, can handle it, but still I notice it.
    What I'd need is a setting where I could tune the pick influence, how much rolling it back causes the sound to get thinner and I'd like to be able to shift the behavior from the lower end of the pot up to the middle of the range or to the upper end. Can you imagine what I mean? Is there a way for me to get that with the onboard settings?
    The available pick parameter is rather in the highs, the one I'd need would be rather in the lower mids (250-500K?).
    Greets!
