Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I'll get to experimenting hopefully soon! Much appreciated.

Hey gang,

I feel like this should be straightforward and that my concrete skull is just being particularly thick when it comes to using the editor, so hopefully someone here can help penetrate my knuckleheadedness.

To frame the question... about a year ago, I purchased Game of Tones Direct Amp Profiles pack which is a shizz-load of Amp-only profiles needing a cabinet IR to loaded in order to sound decent when playing or recording using the main or headphone outs and NOT using an actual guitar power amp and cab. To that end, I used the editor in Rig Manager to load up one of those profiles and went to the cab portion where no matter whether I turned the cab on or off, I couldn't see how to SELECT a cab which was already loaded as part of a merged profile for a different profile in my Kemper. I quite possibly am totally misunderstanding how this whole "load any cab you want that's already inside your profiler to marry it with a currently loaded profile" thing. Can someone set me straight on what I SHOULD be doing to get this to happen? I took a look at the version 7.3 manual that I have on PDF and it seems to indicate I would need to make the cabinet the "in focus" item and then turn the chickenhead knob to "Browse". I might be making a VERY BAD assumption that if you use the editor, you wouldn't have to physically touch/set anything on the Kemper itself, but perhaps I am wrong.

This sort of begs the question of how you also load a DIFFERENT cab from what is currently included with a specific merged profile, as well.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Especially thick-headed Jeff

As always, THANK YOU!

Just checking in to see if you've had a chance to do any more great work on these album tones? Hoping you and yours are staying safe and healthy in these crazy times.

Thanks, Octopi!

SWeet! Thanks, Gerald!

What's your favourite bands pack?

I would LOVE if you did a Symphony X and Greg Howe pack for their different tones over the years!

Thanks, Thumas!!!

Absolutely loved Harry's playing on this one. Too bad most of the rest of the cd only has brief flashes of this... and the follow up records were no wear near shredderific. I even caught them live as the opening act for Vinnie Moore in a small club in Cleveland and he was just playing an LP through some pedals. I was surprised by just how little and skinny Harry was in person. LOL

Thanks, Mick!

Thanks, as always, Mick!

Steely Dan... lots of Steely Dan

Wow! Great to see you here, James! I loved your work with Testament and own both of your solo CDs, which are marvelous! Eons ago we exchanged some emails about the gear you used and you were very gracious to share your thoughts and time with me. I truly appreciated it!

All, if you haven't heard James' cover of "Race with Devil On Spanish Highway" from Al DiMeola, you are doing your ears a grave disservice!

PS - NO time is a BAD time for Steely Dan! Go back, Jack, do it again!

Marty Friedman apparently believes that the main reason the Japanese are so big (and skilled) on guitar is that the Shamisen has been used for so long in their traditional music.

So, I figured I'd share some cool Shamisen clips from Yoshida Brothers and Wagakki Band. Been meaning to share WB for a long time but haven't got around to looking up links for my faves, so just a couple o' recent clips will have to do, but they've been around for a long time:

Ok, that was pretty damn cool, but am I the only one who is getting visions of "Ghost In The Shell" Anime when they hear this stuff?

This is from a different Kimmo than your Soundcloud link, but it's certainly in the ballpark for "Inferno".

As you can see in the comments section when I asked what profile he used, it was "Engl Fireball E625 C by Dennis C" and you can find it in Rig Exchange. He says he may have changed the cab, though.

HTH!

GELUID Did you ever see the questions that several of us asked above? Would love to hear your response.

Thanks!

Thanks, yet again, Thumas!

In the words of a certain wise philosopher... "HOLY CRAP BALLS!" That is some serious talent to be able to play all those instruments so well. Definitely going to be checking out his other stuff! Thanks for sharing this, HT!

NIce work! Very tasty and melodic. I almost got sort of a Vinnie Moore, "Time Odyssey" type feel in places and tone.

Thanks, Thumas!

Thanks, Mick!
