I fount my boogie quad !!!! lots of cool profiling sessions coming soon & test profiles for my great beta tester team

Another new demo tonite all profiles & bass are from the HB & SC pack

Glad you like it mates

I did a short rearranging and a proper mix, I guess it's a fine one for live :

That's a great verb , I wish we'll have this kind of verb on our KPAs soon. Great playing & tone btw.

In case some of you missed this great vid, here we go

Thx to Kristofer for providing this awesome vid (using Djemass lead tweaks) :

Fine one , I really dig the end part when the singer sings an octave higher.

Hi , any idea of the frequencies involved ? maybe analyze it with a spectrum analysis VST tool with and without the FX ?

If you got the frequency and the value of the boost, use the internal KPA stomp EQ dialed to this value, and you're done.

But that would be great to have this boost as a new stomp FX ( Depth boost stomp with a single depth knob )

Profiling supros is always Ethical to me

they are not temporary since they will ,not vanish after a reboot.

I find it very usefull while recording : if I start from a good rhythm tone , I tweak it on the fly to a lead tone for instance, I then store a snapshot for later re-use ( If I ever play this lead live for ex. )

thx mates , I can definitely hear the singing in my head, too bad I cannot sing

I gave a listen on my real monitoring system, the mix sucks , but it rocks with my headphones. I'll give a better mix but this song is a keeper for my next gig at the Madison square garden

The bass sim does the harmony here, guitars are mainly here to embellish , it's really fun to write that way, I'll put more basses in my songs now.

Welcome here and have fun

another demo for your ears, a megalomaniac track

All rigs are from my commercial pack :

HB.drive.70's
HB.drive.Scofield
SC.clean.full & SC.crunch3
and the bass sim included in my pack ( also available for free on rigEX)

Hi , here is quick theatrical one I wrote & record over the week end , it's a bit rough on the edges, but that was really fun to record. Mix is partial since I don't have my usual monitoring system now. I need to put the drums upfront and the bass in the background.

It's clearly ready for a singer, and it needs some leads, if anyone wants to try it as a backing track , it's fully downable.

All rigs are from my commercial pack :

HB.drive.70's
HB.drive.Scofield
SC.clean.full & SC.crunch3
and the bass sim included in my pack ( also available for free on rigEX)

Absolutely no U2 or Muse inspiration here

Fantastic singer & vid , really awesome !

No facebook here sorry ! mail sent ...

hi KD, killer demo !!!

This rig is really popular amongst the testers, for some reason : it's really boogie like, fluid, articulate and punchy. the AMT allows fender, marshall and boogie tones with the right settings.

Please send me your email in PM and I'll send you the drive.Scofield, from my commercial HB pack, it's really worth trying, I'm sure you'll adore this one too.

Thx a lot mates, I think we have a keeper here

I did some test on solid body guitars : it's great, but hollow bodies react a step further to this great rig. This is promising for the Hollow body pack !

Hi ! everything is in the title, I plan on profiling this classic piece of gear, and I don't really want to buy the preamp since it's only for profiling purpose, but I can buy the stuff if needed.

I also have some gear to trade :

If anyone in Europe is interested in lending the quad for a commercial project, we can find a agreement, I'll pay postages & insurances ( I live in France).

I'm not interested in the studio preamp.

thanks for your interest.

the humbucker pack was updated with AMT.HB.Drive.Scofield using great tweaks from my beta tester Fausto.

Listen to him playing on his 335, outstanding phrasing & tone !

I also added a Bass emulator rig I constantly use on my recordings, in order to have a full ready plug and record pack.

Here is an old one I wrote a while ago, I still got he amp ready to be profiled

Just found him on the top a bin, hanging aimlessly in the streets : I decided to go for an interview...

Hello , who are you ?

I'm Kirk

Hello Kirk where do you come from ?

I'm a lonnnng way from home , I ended up on those street lately, but I come from Texas.

Tell us about your story ...

My father Ike raised me in a hard way , he took me on the roads as soon as
I could stand up , at the age of 3. Ike was a beautiful 69' Blackface,
with that shiny clothing,but he used to growl & drink maybe a bit
too much, so I often had to finish his songs by myself. Eventually he
died in a bar in New York beaten by this stupid punk that used to use
him as a stand for his beers, the big spill ... electrical shock &
transfo attack

And what about your Mom ?

ahhh Mommy , everybody called her 'the Big twins' If you know what I mean
I remember this fabulous pair of 15" while she was breastfeeding me and
also that unique red eye as she was staring at her baby, those were the
years, before I was thrown on the road. She also died when I was 5
during the cold war era, she didn't survived a tube transplant after a
long career in soul music ( damned sovtek tubes !!!)

And what about your condition now, you look tired ?

Ahh man it's a long story , anyway here it is : Ike kept me as a backing on
the road, we started in the 60's in Chicago where I learnt the hard
rules of business (juke joints, booze) But we had the girls and loads
of them Strats, teles, 335 all you can imagine : hey cutey are you ready for a ride ??? Yeah !!!

And what about music ??

Ah yeah, I learnt my first song in 61 ( you're nothing but a hound dog), I
loved it then we started this long career through the sixties, with all
those hippies and this acid trip I had back in 65 when I was seven year
old, I was then plugged to this psychedelic device a fuzz face and this
strange pedal, the Whoowhoo or somethin' , man I've seen the dark side
of the moon during this trip, i think I might have lost a few caps
during the ride, but I enjoyed every part of it. This was short after
that the new era of punk laminated us , man, my father didn't make it
as you know the sad story.

I survived , I don't know how , maybe a story of glue sniffing to get back my tolex back
Then I made my own way in the eighties as starter amp in the 80's. Man
I've seen so much stairways and smokes on the water , that I cannot
stand it anymore, I brake a fuse each time I hear those notes again

Eventually some guy with dark clothes and hair all around his white face put me on
chorus, I back-lined him on the same two notes for ten years then I had
the most impressive experience in my life, I was once used as a foot
stand during the recording of 'purple rain' by prince, I remember when I
stood on me with his snake boots ( I lost my handle during the process,
I had to wait till 2010 to get it back).

What about your latests projects now ??

I was thrown to the road once again last year this is why you fount me in
the streets, alone with dogs pissing on me. My latest owner (some emo
kid) upgraded to a valvestate park amp, can you imagine that, a PARK
AMP !!!

Man, I understand your rage ...

Yeah for sure ... but I have a goal now, get an eternal life and get cryonigized, so I can retire.

How that ?

Don't you heard about this german tech ??

Which one ??

this one , the Kimper, the 'mercedes benz' of cryonigation, I'm sure you
heard about it. You get 'blown' in every hole during the process but
it's really worth it. Let me explain it to you, it's almost safe : they
send you waves of fuzz flames in the face then you got this roller
coaster ride in every frequency you can imagine, then you finally get
processed by a pneumatic drill and you're done.

Really ?

Yes they put you in this little ash box for posterity and you get a
beautiful tag, here is mine : 'Squier 15 sidekick cranked' sexy, huh ??
