compressor in the input section to free up a stomp slot

I think I read in the comments or in another thread he does it this way because he’s printing the effects as well. So the first pass gets printed with effects. The he deletes and re-records one track and is printing that new track with one side of the effects. So the slight variations in his playing will also include the effects that line up with the variations and not the effects from the original recording. I haven’t tried it to see if it makes a noticeable difference. Interesting idea to try.

interesting way to double track from Bert.

Michael, loving the new pack especially the SL68.

one question, I notice on these new profiles that my P90 equipped guitars are really quiet even on higher gain settings. Are you doing something different in your profiling process that would account for this? I would love to get the same level of noise on my older profiles. Just curious.

Thanks

Sean

does it tune ok in positions 2 or 4? Assuming you have a 5 way switch, or can select more than one single coil at a time. That stabilizes it for me when tuning.

If things sound good from the headphone output, then see if you can get an aux feed from the board without your guitar. Send that signal to the aux in on the kemper and blend it in to taste. That’s how I use IEMs.

that mic stand/automation/robotics piece is pretty slick, thanks for sharing

I picked it up and some of the cleaner tones are nice. Not crazy about the overdrive and distorted tones. YMMV

I don’t think anything in this pack will replace my current go-to profiles.

check your output menu. Sounds like you may have it checked to take the output before the delay amd reverb slots.

This is an awesome pack for sure, thank you. Take the time to go through the notes and see the differences in what the amp configurations are. The descriptions are spot on to my ears.

Great work Michael, these all sound great. I can see why you like you CL80 so much. The profiles with that cabinet just come across very clear and articulate. Highly recommended pack.

Yes. Each of them are amazing. And I want a Knaggs now.

my son just picked up a Steve Stevens signature model and it's a great guitar. Light and resonant, awesome finish. Great guitars.

Doug is a great player for sure. He has a lot of great videos with demos for Seymour Duncan, Friedman, and knaggs. Awesome player.

The Adam T7V’s are easier on the wallet and sound good.

I think one option is to use one of the legacy reverbs for the part that you don’t want to freeze.

Worth a look as I think the freeze option doesn’t work on the legacy verbs and won’t be impacted by the freeze function.

My sons latest find. Great playing and sounding guitar from Knaggs. Steve Stevens model.

do the iec connectors need a power switch, or is the amp unpowered until the kemper is switched on? also where is your iec ground running to under the board? thanks. Mine arrives tomorrow

my IEC connector doesn't not have an on/off switch but you can use one. The ice power Amp does a graceful power up per the manual and does a self check. So I just plug mine in and watch the status leds change from startup to ready. The ground from outlet goes to the ground outlet that's in the very center of the power amp board. It's a hole in the board so you need a screw and grounding ring to solder/connect to.

i actually have the bam 200, im curious of any tone differences as the bam has eq and icepower doesnt. Also its one less box to hook up

I have the bam as well and no major sound differences. I did it for simplicity and one less connection/cables to worry about.

Hoping someone could help me out. I'd like to use two Kabinets for stereo (reverb and such) at bedroom levels. As far as Ice Power amps go, which would be best for that? I'd like to also have the option to just use one Kab. Should I pick up two Icepower 50ASX2BTL and basically have two amps, or the 200ASC+200AC combo?

if you're going to put both amps in the same cabinet I would go with the ASC/AC combo as it's designed to add the 2nd amp and supply power from one board to the other. Just my 2 cents.

Here is how I wired mine up:

power: connector P1: Pins 1 and 2 go to the AC feed line (IEC connector) This is not polarity sensitive. Although it's not part of this connector on the power amp, be sure to connect the ground pin on your AC IEC connector to the ground lug on the power amp board.

Speaker: connector J2: Pin 1 to + on the speaker, Pin 2 to - on speaker

input: connector J3: Pins 6 and 7 tied together and both connected to ground/shield of the signal coming from the kemper.

Pins 8 goes to hot of the signal cable coming from the kemper. All of the other leads can be taped off, not needed.

can use connector J5 to connect LEDs if you want, but not required.

I just used the attached shielded cable. sounds like you used different pins

did you use the Icepower cable connnectors?

I’ll have to pull my Kab apart and double check it

yes I used the cable kit from parts-express. I think we are saying the same thing. The J3 connector cable was shielded if I remember correctly and I only used the last three pins. When I zoom in on my pics it looks like the shield and red cable tied together, and the white cable going to hot. Not sure if the color coding on their kits is consistent.
