Nice...thanks!! Record some clips if you get a chance.

Thanks for the nice words guys. Appreciate it!

Best you’ve done yet.

Thanks man!

i used your atomica profile a bunch this weekend, wish you still had that amp for more profiles of it

I do miss that amp. Someone over at Rig talk has it and I don’t think they’re ever letting it go.

Did you have a chance to try the CCV profile posted here?

Thanks. Definitely check this one out. I think it turned out better than the previous batch.

Most of my CCV profiles thus far have been dual mic'd with an SM57 and Royer R121. I recently incorporated a Dynamount robotic mic stand in my studio and have been testing various positions with the 57 alone. It's pretty convenient to be able to control the positioning of the mic from the comfort of my desk. I generally work alone so it's always been a lot of up and down, back and forth, and trial and error when micing my cabinets.

I've also been experimenting with some different things to get the low end right. Here is a sample of a high gain CCV profile through a Friedman cab with a single SM57 on the Greenback speaker. Would love some thoughts as to the balance between the highs and lows.

The profile was not tweaked at all post profiling (definition came out set at 10). The guitar I used to refine and test is a Gibson Les Paul Standard with Suhr Aldrich pickups. Sounds huge through my CLR but would love some opinions with other setups. Thanks in advance.

-Scarlett to your Computer via USB OK

-FOCAL Monitors to Scarlet the you plug the Scarlett out into the focal with jack rca cable or jack xlr cable
So I need a two head XLR or RCA to one head XLR ? i have to connect it to the front xlr or can i connect one monitor to xlr 1 and the other monitor to the other xlr?

With this cable?

-Kemper to Scarlett
and the Kemper you plug with jack jack or xlr xlr to your Scarlett inputs 1 and 2 OK

that was you can hear all from the computer and the kpa or you leave the Scarlett and just plug the Kemper with xlr xlr direct to the focal
This is the way i used today

Thank you digbob!

I don't have the Scarlett but definitely don't plug your monitors into the front XLR's. Those are inputs. You want to connect your monitors to the 1/4" line outputs on back of the Scarlett.

You can definitely eq the signal prior to profiling but I think a better option would be to experiment with mic placement first. You can easily tame the harsh frequencies by moving the mic further away from the cap.

You should be able to just double click on a rig in Rig Manager and it will load into the Kemper’s buffer. If you want it saved on the KPA itself you can then press “Store”.

No, it's not apparently. Not a load box at all. For one thing, the impedance of the provided amps is matches to the actual models. That's pretty cool Imo. Did you hear the Sweetwater demo? Killer!

It is a load box with built in cabinet IR’s, similar to the Two Notes Live/Studio. You pair it with a tube amp for silent recording or to send the signal to FOH for live use. Not sure where you’re seeing it comes with “provided amps” as my understanding is it only provides mic and cab emulations, not actual amp models.

I’ll start first by saying all these profiles are good and commercial worthy — easily.

12.4 01-57/121 — good overall. Gain gets a bit fizzy and low end slightly woof
12.4 01a-57/121 — very similar to the previous. More low end dynamics but also makes it less tight
12.4 01b-57/121 — much more fizz and low end woof
12.4 01c-57/121 — tighter but a tad less dynamic

Appreciate the feedback. And just to clarify....did you have a chance to try the 3 profiles from 12/7? I need to do a better job naming the profiles because it's hard to keep track. I thought earlier you said 01b from 12/4 had much better balance than the others. Above indicates otherwise so I wasn't sure if you had a chance to compare.

Thanks again!

Quote from SuckerFreeGear

I got them downloaded. I will get Mark to play through them and post back an opinion. I may need a few days though since he's working on other projects.

Cool man. Let me know what you guys think. I'll try to post a DI profile when I get a chance.

Quote from MementoMori

01b all the way. Much better balance. The other 2 were ok but I felt like the low end and gain lost a bit of clarity, especially in comparison. Gain made them all a little noisy/fizzy but not too bad.

Thanks. Is that from the 12/7 batch or the 12/4?

Not getting quite the response I had hoped for so maybe the profiles suck and no one wants to tell me or they are so good that people can’t stop playing long enough to post?

I tried to create a poll so people could vote anonymously but it doesn't look like that's an option on this forum. Oh well. Anyway, my ears are ringing from another profiling session so here are 3 more CCV profiles for anyone interested...all at a similar gain settings through the same Friedman cab. 2 of the profiles use an API mic pre and the other is a 1073. Constructive criticism welcomed.

Profiles can be downloaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f30…LHjsBHgje6dWIXrg25xa?dl=0

Also, if anyone is up for testing more profiles with a wider range of amp/gain settings and can record audio and/or video clips, please let me know and I'll send them your way.

Thanks in advance.

Quote from Zapman

I believe that they are disabled. Never seen a poll on here.

Hmm. well that explains it. Thanks for the info. Strange that the poll option still shows up.

I'm trying to create a poll thread but not having any luck. I select 'Poll" from the post options and setup my choices but when I submit the post the poll disappears. Anyone?

Quote from MuddySludge

Webb, Well done Sir!
All 3 of the big girls went into the remote, they are that good

I put a Blue Sky reverb in the X slot, didn't need the EQ. (I wish I could move the X slot to the end of the chain)
Backed the Definition down to 8.0 Clarity at 4.0 Noise gate at 2.2. I think the gate you set was more than needed.

I used a Reverend Reeves Gabrels signature guitar and things are quite copacetic.
You know exactly what your doing don't you?

Awesome, glad you like them. Thanks for the feedback.

Quote from MementoMori

Damn man, caught me right as I had to take my home setup down. I'll see about testing it before I get everything back up and running which might be after the new year. Looking forward to it because your profiles have always been solid.

Thanks...always appreciate your feedback.

I did another round of profiling my Cameron CCV100 and could use some fresh ears to give it a try.

High gain settings profiled through a Friedman 4x12 with an SM57 and Royer 121 mix on a Celestion Greenback speaker. EQ engaged in the X slot adds a little bite but please try it with and without.

I'd love some feedback on it so if you get a chance please give it a try and let me know your thoughts...good or bad.

Thanks!

Edit: Added 2 other profiles with slight changes to mic placement. Please let me know which one you prefer. All 3 profiles can be downloaded here:
