  • Blackmore Marshall Major profiles (Flying Snowman Prods.)

    Quote from Ibot39

    One question: Can you give the buyers the earlier profiles with Marshall 1960 4x12 cab as a bonus - or maybe for a few bucks more?

    I didn't save those with the Marshall 1960 4x12 cab, and I sold the cab in the meantime 'cause I have a Yamaha DXR12 now.
    The older DI profiles that I put on Rig Exchange are less good... I didn't have the RockCrusher yet, didn't have the treble booster, the Scumback, the vintage tubes... there may be some nice ones in there but definitely not as warm as the ones in the pack.
    Cheers!

    Very interesting offer!
    Marshall Major 200W - definitely not an bedroom amp :Dso Kemper profiles are welcome!


    What cabinet was used for making the profiles? I haven't found the info on your homepage - seems that it was a 1x12 cab or an iso-box?

    Thanks!


    I used a A Scumback H55 30 Watt speaker that I put sometimes in a Fame 1x12 cabinet, sometimes in a Fame 2x12 cabinet. Fame is probably not the best cabinet, but I also made earlier profiles with my Marshall 1960 4x12" cabinet filled with Vintage 30 speakers, and the 2x12 cabinet sounded better or at least almost the same. I really wanted to use the Scumback speaker because it makes the Major sound warmer.

  • Blackmore Marshall Major profiles (Flying Snowman Prods.)

    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


    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.

  • Mute Output via switch / Remote

    If your guitar gets out of tune after you played a solo with a lot of bends, it would be nice to be able to see the tuner on the remote without muting the signal. You can just play a root note that fits the song and finetune the string that has the problem. It's a chromatic tuner so that would work. So for me, a switch pedal hooked on the remote to show the tuner in unmute mode would be helpful, while the tuner on the remote could mute the signal in between songs.

  • Stairway to Heaven on Kemper

    Hi guys,


    Covered Stairway to Heaven of Led Zeppelin with our band NeverB4. Guitars played with Kemper (Telecaster '67 for the clean sounds and Gibson Les Paul for the solo and the heavier rhythm sounds).
    Let me know what you think of it!

  • Problem with Direct Out Send level in external loop

    Received the following information from support:


    there are stomp boxes, that have that issue. We are aware of two workarounds:


    You could create a special cable with a 4k7 Ohm resistor and plug that between Profiler and your stomp box. That solved the issue for a Fuzz Face, which ad the same issue.
    Or a bit more complicated: a small diy circuit, which makes the pedal "think" that there are pickups on the other side

    will check that out...

  • Problem with Direct Out Send level in external loop

    Nobody? Has nobody ever experienced a problem hooking up a distortion pedal to the external loop of the kemper??? When i put the pedal in front before going into the kemper, it sounds great! Is there a difference in the sort of signal that the direct send sends to the pedal compared to straight guitar signal?

  • Problem with Direct Out Send level in external loop

    I'm having problems profiling a Marshall in combination with a Hornby-Skewes treble booster clone. I'm trying to take a normal (studio) profile. Worked fine with other pedals. The problem is that the sound that the Kemper sends through its Direct Out/Send port, going to the pedal and than to the Marshall and the speaker, is way too trebly and contains no bass at all. When I connect my guitar to the input of the pedal, the speaker sounds just fine. It's only when the sound comes from the Kemper, that things go wrong. Please note that the mike setup is not important here yet; I am talking about the sound coming from the speaker directly. It's the first time I'm having this problem... I profiled many amps and pedals and never experienced this...


    I also hooked the treble booster up as an external effect to the Kemper, using "distorted loop", and had exactly the same problem there!


    Could it be the negative ground construction of the pedal? (although I'm using batteries). I also tried changing the ground loop buttons on the back of the KPA without any result.


    Any advice?

  • Duncan P-Rails problem in P-90 bridge sound

    I have the Duncan P-Rails installed on my Music Man Axis, but am experiencing a problem with the P-90 bridge sound. It's too shrill and not loud enough, compared to the P-90 neck or even to the P-Rail bridge sound.
    I installed a Freeway switch and asked my luthier to add a switch on the backplate of the guitar. I can access all 4 sounds (humbucker, P-Rail, P-90 and parallel) this way. My luthier says it's "normal" because it's a hybrid pickup and there's a tremolo on the guitar, but I don't buy it. I wonder if it's wrongly wired (although he's a very good luthier) or if there is maybe a fault on the bridge pickup.


    Does anyone have the same problem? How does your bridge P-Rails P-90 sound compared to the neck pickup?

    Yeah cool pickups , I've got a couple of these on my Yamaha SG1000.

  • Problems making a Direct Profile

    Quote from Jesone

    Following this thread as I have the same problem profiling my Jubilee. Again with a Behringer DI box.

    That's why I'm asking the other Kemper users here: what D.I. box are you guys using?
    And does it have a possibility to
    1) take off any speaker emulation features if present;
    2) reduce the volume of the speakers?
