For those into djent and low downtuning and a lot of gain, this might be perfect for them. For me? No.

GGD???

You may get answers that are more relevant to the kinds of sounds you want, if you also let people know what kind of sounds you like.
And what guitar(s) and pickups

Kemper forum and the most discussed topic is neural cortex.

Some late late night music for me
-
well im pretty sure in your country people know who is Madonna,Whitesnake,Michael Bolton,Mariah Carey,Céline Dion,Peter Cetera,Dann Huff did session work for those artists and many more
Sure most ppl here know who they are but if I ask a Madonna, MB, MC, CD, PC who the musicians are behind the artists none, or at the most a very very few of them will know, or have ever cared to know.
But that is the same for the rest of the world. They just listen to vocals and are unaware how important the music behind the vocals and how important the right producer/mixing engineer is. Anyone going to e.g. a Madonna concert won't point and ask I wonder who that guitarist is. Do you think it's Dan? -
i dont know where you live,but i dont think that the session musicians from your country are famous like Dann Huff
That's true but if you live outside US...
-
well that is because you dont follow or you dont know the story of Sessions guitar players
Well that might be true but also I don't live in the same country. I've never cared about session muscians either and if I would interest in session musicians I would choose those much closer to me. You don't know nor care about any session muscian from where I live either.
-
ever hear of Keith Urban?????
Nope. I have never heard of Dan Huff either. But not everyone will be famous around the globe.

She lost time during the solo, but who cares?
I tried to watch her fingers so I'd learn something, but I gave up on that.
Nah, admit it old monkeyman. You didn't watch her fingers you little liar.

Be a young man and a skilled guitar player and you get a thousand followers. Be a young good looking woman and you have many thousands to millions of followers.

Display MoreI'm the same way, which is probably why I prefer the Kemper over the AFX - I prefer the simplicity of a handful of small tweaks as opposed to spending months trying to perfect one single tone like it's a masters thesis.
So far I've had the same process for almost every profile:
Lower gain for clarity
Lower mid EQ about 1.5-2
Standard LP/HP in post EQ
Adjust definition to taste, depending on what I need the tone for
The sliiiightest adjustments to the cabinet high/low parameters, maybe 0.2 either direction, they're super sensitive.
If that doesn't put me in ballpark, I also just move on to the next!
Being that I love medium-high gain, I think the only trouble I've had is finding that perfect balance between overdriven tone and the amp's distortion. The boosted profiles I've found seem to always have the boost cranked all the way, so there is little balance. I keep finding myself going back to an unboosted tone and throwing in my own TS9 or Maxon so I can ease them in to where they need to be. If that makes sense. Perhaps I should play with the compression levels a little more.
I agree with you that many boosted high gain profiles have way too much gain. Even if I lower dist sense to 0 there's still too much. Just becuase you can crank that much gain doesn't mean there's a point doing it. And on most high gain tracks we love the gain is much lower than most guitarists beIieve it is. The updated driver pedal is very good. But I still like to use my own OD's too. I have both a Ibanez TS9 and a Maxon TS9. The latter has more bite.

How do you like the Juggernauts? I have Nailbombs in one of mine, and LOVE them. The cleanest, tightest pickups I've ever played. I've chosen the Juggernauts for my other guitar but haven't ordered them yet.
I purchased Nailbombs second hand and was dissapointed. Too flat and thin sound. Sold them and purchasedLundgren M6 set instead and was happy with. Each to his own liking.
And some pickups sounds great in one guitar and awful in the next. Sometimes you need go thru many pickups before you find the right ones. -
You and me both, Brother Kulle. I have the ear but not the "motor skills".
You're not alone monkey-brother. You're not alone.
