Why do you think you need another tuner? The tuner in kemper is excellent and does the job.

or you could just use the real deal, as in: the very ADA MP-1 preamp Michael Wagner used. Profiled together with his Furman EQ in THE setting used on all these albums, pushing the input of the preamp.
You don't get closer than this.
Damn I've forgotten MW's profiles.

I think a lot of players have their action a hair too low. When it's set too close to the limit, the frets buzz when you dig in a bit, stealing the string energy exactly when you need it to sing out unimpeded.
It's a fine balance and compromise based on how you play, but generally I find the existing action a bit low when I get asked to do a setup.
Similar with pickups - they're almost always too close to the strings and not in their sweet spot.
Guitar pick stiffness make a massive difference in tone. Try recording a part with a .50 pick, then the same with a 1.0-2.0. The brightness and attack are dramatically different. This and choosing the guitar is where I start when I'm searching for a sound.
Low action is overrated. Most guitar players want a as low action as possible and believe a total straight guitar neck is a sign of a well set up guitar. If that was the case we wouldn't needed a truss rod. There have been some complaint about the sustain of the kemper before but that has nothing to do with the kemper. It's all about too low action. If anyone want lower action, well thicker strings is the answer. If not, unless your'e a very light picker, forget that insanely low action if you want great tone.

With some profiles I need to lower the mid a little if it's too much of it. But it all depends on which guitar and pickups I'm using. And less distortion on most high gain profiles becuase most vendors aiming for metal guitarists seems to believes you can't have enough gain. The more the better.
Yeah right. -

Yep still problem with the site.

We are our own worst enemies. We might not like what we hear but others will probably say it sounds good and don't understand why we say something else. Too often we judge our self too hard. Its the same with tones as with music. Some songs take a few up to many times before we start to like. Never give up something too easily. Too often we have expectations that no one or anything can live up to and when it doesn't we get dissapointed. I've gone thru profiles I first didn't like and forgot about them and later gave them a second try. And guess what? Some of them I couldn't understand why I had rejected them.

Tried it and I.....liked it.

That's probably where I'm going wrong then, as I don't tend to tweak much, just select a profile, play, if it doesn't sound good, move on to the next one.
You don't buy a hw amp and expect it to sound perfect for you without tweaking it do you? In many cases its the same with a kemper/profiles.

Also it matters if the demo sounds are mixed in with drums, bass etc or on its own.

GearJocke I uploaded one more, "EVH TEST 5"....This one is probably my favorite. Very similar to the first one you liked, however a single 57 in a different spot. This one is very aggressive and snarly, has more bite than my first, however still very similar. Just curious to hear what you think. Thanks!
Thanks I will try it tomorrow.

Man, it is one of the best EVH profiles ever for me! Commercial or free.
Sounded great on all my guitars but my ESP Horizon NT II and Lundgren M6 pickup, wow! So brutal! And not too much distortion either. Just perfect for riffs.If it is one thing I can complain about it is the bass. Too much for us that use passive pickups. The same profile with less bass would be nice and a few more profiles too. If you decide to make a commercial pack I will be the first in line for a purchase.

I can't see any profile that says EVH EL34

I don't get any less latency using spdif.

Recommend amps/profiles is like trying to describe color for a blind person. It all depends on what your ideal sound is, what guitar(s) pickups you're using. One thing that's more important than the amp is actually the cab. Cabs define more the tone than any amp does. Anyway ADA was a very popular tool during the 80's. Used for heavy rock and metal and was used on many albums and Michael Wagener was famous for using the ADA and used the same preset and all the bands/allbum sounded differently. https://bighairyprofiles.com/item/577801aacca9180cd01f890d

Doesn't seem like that? If so they would have announced it themself. Maybe they scipped it?

Do you mean the Deadwood? I'm hoping we will see a release Q1 2020.

Surprised I’ve seen little to no talk about this pack. These profiles pack some serious punch, which is no surprise. Killertone has always been great at dialing in kickass tones. My personal favorites are the Mesa Tri Rec 33 and the Hiwatt profiles. Has anyone else tried this out?
Purchased now and got them 35% cheaper during BF and only gone thru 5 profiles so far and with all my 4 guitars and it's seldom all guitars sounds great with the same profile(s). . I'm impressed so far and not drenched in distortion like most high gain profiles are. Just perfect.
