You're a genius, Liam.
Hey it was @Deadlightstudio that told me to do this this about 3 years ago!

Not that note, ground lift *cough cough*. Five years in and still a noob.
Was literally going to say try ground lift on the direct out!
@SQUAREHEAD I know you use profiles through a real cab, @Awesome_Elvis how are you using the profiles through a real cab, FRFR monitor or straight to a desk?
I used these in church last Sunday.
MID GAIN 1 - 3GS and 4GS (3GS 75% of the time).
They are soooo good!
Also great to hear!
last night I used a 4gs Alt with a green scream mixed at 76 percent, my roommate runs in, "Dude what tone is that right now... don't loose it , save that and don't change anything!"
Great to hear!
Yes, one of the few packs I've bought recently, it's very very good
Great profiles. actually the best ive ever had my kemper sounding. thanks Liam great stuff
Thanks @fergal
Today I was in search for Marshall tones for my Tele (with Singe Coils). I went through dozens of commercial packs, but the profiles that fitted and sounded best with this guitar were in your pack! So thanks again for your effort!!
Thanks @Ibot39
Actually ment only the amp settings info which I just now noticed were all already listed in the opening post!
What about your TS9DX settings as a booster - volume full, gain at minimum and tone somewhere between?
Ah yes now I understand.
Yes spot on regarding the Tube Screamer settings
The TS9DX settings were always:
Gain = Minimum
Level = Full
Tone = 5/Half Way
Mode = TS9
I was about to testdrive these profiles after copying them into my local library and randomly clicked the JMP 2203 3GS L TS9 + profile.... and couldn't put the guitar down for an hour...
The profile just floored me! Didn't have to touch it (Playing with my Jem 77FP with BKP War pig and Cold Sweat).
I love my TriAxis and Mark Profiles but next rehearsal i'm going to take these merged profiles for a spin on my live setup (Marshall EL34 50/50 into 1960a 4x12 G12T75 cab). Can't wait!!
Thank you so much mr. Thompson!
Thanks @tijlcarrein glad you enjoyed the profiles. I'll admit I'm not that keen on the middle batch of profiles that I did later with the higher brightness and presence settings personally, they are too shrill for me, especially through a real cab, the micing takes quite a bit of top end off that you don't hear as much when listening though the merged cab though FRFR speakers.
I still prefer my original batch dialed in with my personal settings (which is to be expected) and this profile is one of them. I also like the Dave Friedman settings and the Alternate settings also, however using the brighter profiles with the merged cab seem to sound great for some and in a mix were some more cut is probably needed as @musicmad has shown. It's all down to personal taste, I'm sure plenty of users will dislike these profiles and find the tone not to their liking. A good thing about all the commerical profiles available plus all the free profiles on the rig exchange, almost everyone can find something they really like and will use.
Just played these with a tele and with that one my favs are all the low input and mid heavy ones!
Just for sake of nerdiness would be interesting to hear what the 'original' 3GS settings were like in comparison to those Alt & DF settings? And maybe also TS9 settings.
Anyhoo, just
Hi @JuLai how do you mean "hear the original 3GS settings in comparison to the Alt and DF settings"?
Let me know and I'll see what I can do!
Used the 3GS Zener PRES 6+ on a solo I was composing the other day (and probably a related profile for the second part):

Thanks @musicmad, that sounds great!
Great profiles @LiamThompson. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers @Webb I'm a fan of your Cameron profiles!
Just uploaded another small batch of profiles.
Same naming as before:
3GS = 3 Gain Stages
4GS = 4 Gain Stages
ZENER = Zener diode clipping/SAT enabled
DF = Dave Friedman recommended dimed Plexi settings http://www.rig-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=156400
Alt = Dialed in with alternate settings from previous profiles
The alternate settings place more emphasis on using the presence control for brightness rather than the treble. The presence control works slightly different on most Friedman amps. As you dial the presence higher you get the expected boost in high frequencies but also a much "fuller" sound. It boosts low mids a touch and thickens the normal mid range up, giving a tighter weightier feel. Settings for the Alt profiles were:
Pres = 6, Bass = 8, Mids 8, Treble = 3, Master = 3, Gain 1 = 8, Gain 2 = 10, Resonance = 6
The DF profiles are set to Dave Friedman's recommended "Dimed Plexi" settings I took from the link above. Settings were:
Pres = 5, Bass = 4, Mids = 8, Treble = 6, Master = 6, Gain 1 = 8, Gain 2 = 10, Resonance = 8
Both these settings seem a little more open to me, see what you think.
Hi @christiansectas.
Had a bit experience of this myself in the past with my powered Kemper.
The first thing is your cab is rated at 16 ohms. Although the Kemper can be run with a 16 ohm cab no problem it has to work about twice as hard to get the same volume you would out of an 8 ohm cab. You will have to drive the power map much harder to match an 8 ohm cab providing you are using the same senstivity speakers.
The good news is from what I understand is the EVH 2X12 comes with Heritage G12H speakers which are 100dB sensitivity so you will get back some of the volume there compared to running say a G12M which is only 97dB sensitivity. Bad news this this cab (from what I've read) is only 60 watts power handling. Bare in mind although class D 600 watts which the Kemper power amp is is no where near as loud as if it were a 600 valve power amp it's still rated 10 times what your speakers are, so when driving this cab hard be very wary of blowing your speakers. I blew 2 Neo Creambacks rated at 60 watts each totally 120 watts running at 16 ohms doing exactly this trying to keep up with a n Engl Powerball 100 watt amp and a 4x12 Engl cab running V30's.
Hardware wise this is where you could be running into issues, once I got a Mesa Recto 2X12 that is wired at 8 ohms, with 100dB V30's I could hold my own again due to former specs plus the high mid spike the V30's give out helps cut live.
Things you can do to help with the volume using what you have is add a 1dB or a bit more of mid range in the monitor output EQ section that feeds your cab (red output jack on the back), that will help your sound cut more and appear louder in a live situation.
I'll admit though, in a very similar scenario till I changed cabs I couldn't compete with a 100 watt valve amp neither, which is probably what you don't want to hear.
Hope this helps and you find a solution.
I have a Les Paul and found these profiles on the Rig Exchange yesterday before stumbling onto this thread. Outstanding. Out of all of the profiles I own, either free or commercial, these are some of my favorite.
Cheers @ColdFrixion I thought you might like some these profiles!
@Weegie check out the rigs JMP 2203 3GS BR 1 through to 5. There might be something amoung those 5 you might like.
I would like to see a bit more bite if you redid some profiles. In a two guitar band, I prefer more top end to cut through. I definitely preferred the 3 tube versions for their clarity.
Ok will aim to get some brighter 3 gain stage profiles done very soon
Fantastic to hear that you found this too, mate.
I feel a little bad that whenever I banged on here about that Rig, nobody who tried it got very excited, and I suspect it's 'cause they weren't using LP's. I remember suggesting rolling the highs off a little, which would've helped the Strats but happened also to bring the Rig "to life" for my brother's LP. Lower treble in this case meant more mojo for sure.
Pity I can't get him over here to try Liam's Rigs with the LP. Looks like it'd have sounded fantastic.
Sounds like I need to give the Randy Rhodes rig a blast, got a '89 Les Paul Standard to put through it.
Display MoreYou rock, Liam.
Hey, I was going to respond to Antipodes right now, but when I hit "Reply" a post I thought I'd made yesterday popped up; I must've forgotten to hit the "Submit" button, so here 'tis anyway:
Great to know it's not just I who checks everything so many times, Liam. Glad to be of service, mate.
It sounds like you found a way to edit them on the exchange, but I was going to suggest deleting them, editing them offline and re-uploading them. Is that what you had to do?
Well I'll be. That was my and my brother's favourite Rig for his LP for a long time (still might be - I haven't seen or heard from him in a year), and I banged on about it quite a bit here. Doesn't quite cut it for Strat-style guitars IMHO, but for his LP it had a special vintage feel and graininess that we both loved.
EDIT:
You posted whilst I was typing, Liam.
Thank you, mate!
Hi Nicky.
There is the option on the Kemper Home page once you are logged in at the top right corner to view your rigs that you have uploaded. In there you can edit all the tags online without having to re-upload.
