Just tried the Engl Savage profiles and I liked them so much I've also bought the JCM800 (great) and the Hagen (fantastic).
I really like having the whole gain range of the amp profiled, and the choice of cabs is nice; the merged nature of the profiles also means lots of tweaking ahead, but these are really good straight out of / into the box.
Good value too.
Thanks a lot. A new amp to me...
Thank you very much.
Hi Tim
Sorry to resurrect this thread but are you able to post any direct profiles of the Triptik 50?
You're welcome! It doesn't take long to get used to - just make sure you back up first...
Check out one method described here: Managing Rigs, Presets, and Performances (revised Dec. 2014)
Thanks very much. I've been enjoying the previous version, but the new DIs are great.
Can't wait for the Splawn - easily one of my favourite commercial profiles to date...
Thanks for these profiles!
Thanks for doing these. Great profiles of a complex amp!
Guys, thx a lot...
I understand that there is some interest regarding the exact settings for every profile. But the pure amount of variables is so high that documenting these would making such a pack a "mission impossible". Apart from the amp settings, you would need the exact position of up to 8 eight mics, the EQing for each mic, the mixer settings plus the master EQ. Even then, the individual room acoustics would never give you the same sound in another location. I always take series of profiles and play with the variables. I then normally let some time pass and start selecting the best profiles with "fresh ears". Like i said before, i am no friend of the methodological approach that many IR collection producers use. Just trying to capture every possible position with every possible mics will leave you with 95% of sounds that are simply unusable. I would say that good profiles require experience and equipment, but really great ones happen by accident.
Sounds complicated! We certainly appreciate your experience and insight. Most of the CabLab cabs I've auditioned I could see using in some context, and this collection is much more accessible than other IR collections I have used. Plus, you've got to retain some of your trade secrets...
My comment about documentation was certainly not meant as a criticism. As a hobby recordist, I suppose I like to try and link what I hear to the process, so it was more from a personal education point of view.
BTW, thanks for the JVM DI profiles - these are brilliant, especially as the 410 is one of my favourite amps.
Thanks for the welcome!
I think you are right about trying out all the different rigs. There is always one more...
Hi everyone
I've just bought a KPA after getting complaints from my neighbours about how loud I've been playing my amp (a Carol Ann Trip-R)!
I've previously been the proud owner of another well-known digital modeller, which I sold after finding I was spending much more time tweaking than playing (my issue, not the gear's...)
Anyway, I'm really pleased with the Kemper. It is very intuitive and I like the in-built limitations (number of FX slots for example) and the amp-like interface, with straightforward controls. The tones are great and I've found a lot of good profiles.
I'm just trying to get into the deeper tweaking mechanics and I also need to get around to doing a DI profile of my amp.
I've appreciated a lot of great forum advice and found the wiki invaluable, so as a long time lurker, I'm now going public! 
This is my first post!
I've just bought the CabLab after using the Free pack cabs for a while. These are now my "go to" cabs. I like the fact that there are fewer profiles (58 vs 127 or so) but there are still enough to have lots of choice. I also like them being grouped into clean, crunch and high gain applications. The cabs nearly always improve profiles in a way that I like and I also appreciate being able to use the new features of firmware 3.0, which I really need to get to grips with.
I would like a more comprehensive overview of the different settings; I can hear the differences between cabs but I would like to know what it is I'm hearing in terms of mic positioning etc. However, that is my only wish and I think that they are a great collection of cabs, tailored specifically for the KPA.
