So-Floyd... but you pulled it off, man.
Well done, Eric!
thanks Monkey Man!
-
very nice tune with a great message. Your playing is spot on. Just awesome
thank you!
-
Very floyd-ish indeed. Cool to hear such an influence so good in your tune. Well done. And the end solo reminds me a lot of Comfortably Numb as performed by Roger Waters with Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall 3 playing kind of guitar duel. Actually meaning very interactive and interwoven. Cool thing, thanks for sharing Eric
Thanks deadman!

My new single, "Free Our Hearts", has been released today! All done with the Kemper. Let me know what you think of it...
Some 40 years ago Pink Floyd created a rock opera about a character named Pink and his spiritual isolation from society, figuratively referred to as 'The Wall'. 'Free Our Hearts', the new song by singer-songwriter Eric Geurts strives to bring down the walls of racism in our minds and hearts. We are afraid of the unknown (other cultures) and therefore build walls of prejudice to protect ourselves. The expansive and passionate guitar solo, à la David Gilmour, is both compelling and dynamic.
Black, red, white or yellow, the same blood flows through all our veins. 'Free Our Hearts' is born out of and immersed in the spirit of the age. Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter.

So sorry for the wrong tags. I looked up earlier versions of the pack and I had changed them all to bass, but something got messed up between me sending them to Steve for tweaking and such. My apologies. It is fixed now.
Thank you Michael.
-
Thanks for that. I thought I tried it but apparently, I didn't
Works now.
But all of the rigs should be set to Bass and not to Guitar in the default pack when you buy it, since it's a Bass pack...
-
I've never used it, but in Browser mode, one of the view options is "Just Bass". Not sure if that would help.
That's my point. Some of the rigs (those indicated with "Guitar") will NOT show up when you select "Just Bass" in the browser options...
-
Create a subfolder for bass rigs and performances too. An easy solution.
I'm not talking about Rig Manager. That's easy. I'm talking about the Kemper. As far as I know, there's no way to make subfolders there...
-
You have to the name yourself. Annoying but what else to do.
You cannot change the Instrument yourself...
-
I just bought the "Just Bass" pack. Curious why the instrument says "Guitar" on some rigs, instead of "Bass". It's quite annoying actually because I have so many profiles in my Kemper and I want to list only the Bass profiles when I'm playing bass. The rigs with "Guitar" as Instrument will not be listed if I filter on Bass profiles in the Browser...

If you like Ritchie Blackmore's sound from the era of Deep Purple Mark I, II, III, and of Rainbow's first two album, check out these profiles! They were made from a very rare Marshall Major amp.
More info here: More Black Pack - Flying Snowman Productions
Sound samples here: Soundcloud
and here: YouTube
This pack includes over 100 profiles (!) that try to simulate Ritchie Blackmore's sound during his years with Deep Purple (Mark II and III) and Rainbow. These are profiles of a very rare Marshall Major 200W Model 1967 amp from 1971-1972 in excellent condition. There were only 1200 copies made of this amp, and only a few are still in good condition, worldwide. The best is to play these rigs on a Strat, although many profiles also sound great on a Les Paul! This amp was also used by Mick Ronson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. These profiles sound the best on a FR speaker because the Scumback H55 speaker is an integral part of the unique sound.
The material that was used for making this pack, is the following:
- a very rare Marshall Major 200W Model 1967 amp from 1971-1972
- Good vintage tubes (preamp and power tubes)
- The Pigeon (Hornby-Skewes clone) treble booster to simulate sounds during the period of Deep Purple Mark II
- The BSM Studio 75 Treble Booster, which also incorporates a modus to emulate the AIWA and Top Boost sounds during the period of Deep Purple Mark III and the first two Rainbow albums
- The Rivera Rockcrusher to reduce the volume at speaker level
- A Scumback H55 30 Watt speaker
- Shure SM57 and SM81-LC microphones
You will not find this kind of profiles anywhere else because there are so little Majors left in good condition! I checked it out and couldn't find any, that's why I decided to profile it myself. Furthermore, it was really not an easy task to get the right ingredients to get Ritchie's sound... Every composant in the sound chain has to be the right one. It took me years of experimenting with amps (Vox, Marshall Vintage Modern, and the Major), treble boosters and speakers to obtain this.
These profiles were made with firmware 5.1. Your KPA must be using 5.1 or later to use these profiles.

Kemper Packs Testimonies:
Suseguitar from Kemper forum:
I had a chance to play one of the profiles (037508) yesterday in our rehearsal room, played my Strat with Quarterpounds
- the solosound is just awesome, assertive, supporting and inspiring. Great work!Ibot39 from Kemper forum:
After testing the profiles my conclusion is: The pack does exactly what the author is advertising. You get the Blackmore sound from the mentioned era. Humbuckers are possible, other 70s rock-sounds with a little tweaking. But the real soul of this pack is authentic Blackmore-tone! For this it was created with an ear for details and this is were the rigs shine! Thanks for the nice pictures that complement this special pack. I have to highlight the pdf that comes with the profiles offering very detailed information. Great!
Laker from Kemper forum:
These profiles are the real deal IMHO.
Riddlescott from Kemper Forum:
I like it the better the longer i play it. What i also appreciate is the tasty effects settings. Highly recommended for the real Marshall Bluesy Staccato Strat Sound.
raiellojr from Kemper forum:
I like the pack a lot...a little tweaking and I can get real close to your sound samples.
Laker from Kemper forum:
Blackmore Marshall Major profiles [Flying Snowman Prods] - Only the one amp a Marshall Major but it sounds like the real deal. These profiles are outstanding. Everything they make sounds great. What I really like about them is their sound samples sound just like what you download. IMHO a lot of other profilers do not sound the same.
Acolbourn from Kemper forum:
Thanks for the tips, just wanted to follow up for any else on the hunt for Frusciante tone. For profiles I tried flying snowman's more black pack listed above and they sound great!
-
Are there any kone imprints for bass speakers (used with bass guitar) in the Kemper?
-
Difficult to see if the question was already asked... But is 1 Kemper cone loud enough on a big stage?
Thank you!
-
Price reduced to 9,99 EUR due to Covid-19 !
-
I can't find any info about the cabs and mics used. So are this real cabs captured or did you use a load box with impulse responses?
I used a Shure SM57, and the following cabinets/speakers:
- Fame GN112 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speaker
- Fame GN112 cabinet with Scumback Heritage G55 speaker
- Fame GN212 cabinet with Eminence LE15 speakers
I used the Behringer Red Box only to make the Direct profiles.

While there are many profiles out there of the Marshall JVM410, most of them concentrate on sounds with the heavy metal player in mind. This "Classic 410's" pack is fit for Classic Rock and other styles, but (maybe) not so for heavy metal. This pack includes 84 profiles that represent my personal settings of the JVM410H: One setting per channel/mode with 3 different speakers (so 12 x 3 = 36) normal profiles, a direct profile (12), and the merged profiles with the 3 different speakers (so 12 x 3 = 36).

00:00 - solo sounds

Nice video by the way!
Thanks Deadman! My wife filmed it and I mounted it. She's the one in the video. I was not allowed to ask a model (lol)
Yeah, it's amazing what you can do today with all this technology. I can hardly imagine what I would have done with all that while I was still recording demos with an analog 4 track record (called a portastudio) and midi driven synths!
