Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for a IIC+.
For the Mark IIB demo I used a couple guitars -- a Charvel mutt with an EVH Frankenstein Humbucker (awesome pickup) and a Les Paul Standard with Burstbucker 3 in the bridge and '57 in the neck.

Sorry, we have clips at topjimi.com but I should have included them here!

Hey Kemperites,
We've finished profiling a couple awesome vintage Mesa Boogies.
The Mark I 1x12 combo is a pretty rare bird from the mid-70s. Has a very cool organic tone with less gain than you're used to from a Mesa. Sounds amazing when cranked up.
The Mark IIB 1x15 combo sounds more like a modern Mesa. Absolutely the heaviest amp I've ever had the misfortune to haul around, but also the best looking (and one of the best sounding!). Absolutely fabulous rock tone.
Check 'em out and see what you think at www.topjimi.com.

Garrincha: Glad you liked the '59 Bassman. I was also surprised by the amount of gain in the amp. It looked as though it may have the original power tubes in it, which could explain some of the great tone (made in USA Tung-Sols). The amp was also surprisingly bright, which I personally love for cleaner tones. I use profiles from this amp a lot.
http://www.topjimi.com is fully up and running now.
Fantastic. Glad you like 'em!
Hey Firebird, sent you the profiles in an email. The system is still updating as part of the upgrade. Argh!
Jimi
Sorry about that Firebird. We'll get that corrected soon. Thank you in advance for your patience!

http://www.topjimi.com is up and running now. We merged topjimi.com and shop.topjimi.com into one site.
The previous links in this thread for the '59 and '62 Bassmans are now broken. Just go to http://www.topjimi.com and you'll find them easily.

Sorry guys, the website is currently down. We're doing a redesign of the site which requires a new SSL certificate. Unfortunately getting the SSL is taking a lot longer than we expected (we thought it would just take a couple hours).
The site should be up shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Jimi
Excellent! Thanks guys.

Hey Kemper Fans,
We just finished up profiles of all-original examples of these two highly-collectible amps. I know some of you guys were asking for the Blonde Bassman, and we had to do the '59 just... because.
Hope you like 'em!
Thanks,
Jimi

Thanks to all of you who have been such great customers! I hope you are enjoying the profiles.

Just added the SansAmp Bass Driver DI to our collection of profiles. The Kemper isn't just for guitarists! It's amazing the range of convincing bass tones you can get out of this little box. These profiles are perfect for guitarists to lay down bass tracks on demos, or for forward-thinking bassists who own a Kemper.

Cool! Glad you're digging them.

Thanks gibson! I'm sure anything you come up with as a demo will be great.
Yes, I would say the DSL profiles are a bit brighter than the vintage Marshalls.
Hey Kemperites,
I've profiled a 1950's Tweed Fender Super Amp, a 1967 Fender Super Reverb, and a Marshall Dual Super Lead head. The profiles are available at http://www.topjimi.com .
50's Super Amp: Original 1950's chassis (sorry, I don't know the exact year) with 2 10" modern replacement ceramic Jensens and a replacement cabinet. The cleans are very well-rounded, and the overdrive is fantastic.
'67 Super Reverb: An all-original example, complete with original transformers and speakers. I couldn't stop playing Stevie Ray licks.
Marshall Dual Super Lead: Actually the equivalent of a 4-channel amp, as each channel has two gain settings. I was surprised how different this amp sounded from my vintage Marshalls. It's more edgy and modern. I like how it complements my vintage Marshall profiles. I'm looking forward to using these live.
Thanks,
Jimi
