Thanks very much!!!
I'd love to get some AC/DC tones, specially from Ballbreaker onwards!
Cheers.

1) One great way to deal with phase issues is to use something like the Little Labs phase tool to basically shift around the phase of the second mic till you get all you want out of the combination
2) I wouldn't aim the SM57 at the centre of the speaker. Better to do that with the ribbon mic. Use the SM57 towards the edge of the cone or a bit further away and pointed in towards the centre.
3) Refining does change how a profile sounds, even if it isn't necessary. Usually I'll do a profile once and then save, then profile again and save after refining.
4) As far as multi-mic profiles, the Kemper definitely can handle more than one, but the results will depend on how you position the mics. In that regard, it'll be good if the monitoring system in the studio is up to scratch, because what you put into the Kemper is what you get out of it, even if you can't always hear it.
1) Thanks for the tip!
2) I guess I'll play around with the mics till I begin hearing what I like
3) Believe it or not, I had thought of doing exactly this!
4) Yeah I think the monitors are fine. A bit bass heavy to my liking, but I was planning on adjusting the control room sound a bit in the first place...
Thank you nightlight

2/
I'd setup the amps for a given guitar just like you do IRL , include these notes in the specific field in the profile tags , this way users will adjust.
If you have P90 , most profiles will suit HB and SC , with some exceptions of course
3/ refine became unnecessary a while ago. But you can still experiment
...
I'd also suggest taking merged profiles , the merge option led me to really great results in the past.
be sure the resulting collection of profiles is set in a right volume range , it's very uncomfortable to test a batch of profiles with lots of volume differences.
Do a lot of A/B real amp VS profile in the control room to get sure your profiles are a perfect match to the real stuff.
Enjoy this rewarding experience
Thank you waraba ! As I've got a few amps/cabs to profile and I won't have much time, I'm afraid I won't have a lot of time to experiment with 'secondary' things: as a lot of profiles out there I'd love to end up with something that works on both HB and SC. I don't have P90's but I might be able to find something for the occasion!
Regarding the merged profiles, TBH I could tell the difference when playing merged / studio profiles (I know thoretically they should be the same with CAB ON, but 90% of the times I found the studio ones to sound a bit better to my ears).
I will focus on getting a superb source sound and then get into profiling... I think I'll spend most of the time moving things around and testing until I get to the sweet spots of each combination.

Merry Xmas everyone!
So after a few years of extensive use of my toaster, I decided to hire a studio real close to where I have my rehearsal space to make some nice profiles with some good mics, preamps, etc. (I made a few profiles a couple years ago but I was in the same room with the amp, so I couldn't get a proper picture of what the mic was picking up).
I'll be profiling these amps (most of them borrowed from my pals at the rehearsal space, some from the studio itself):
mid 80's Marshall JCM 800 (the only one that I own)
early 70's Marshall Superbass (Red Tolex, amazingly beautiful amp!)
late 70's Marshall JMP
mid 70's Marshall JMP
70's Matchless
A few not so vintage fenders
I also have a few nice cabs at my disposal, so I guess I'll play around until I end with a couple cabs I like better, and I'll do the same with the mics (I was thinking of a sm57 aimed to the center of a speaker and a ribbon mic to pick the warmer freq's more to one side in another speaker, plus maybe a bigger capsule condenser for some room tone -I doubt the kemper can process that during the profiling process though, but I'll try anyway-)
I'm not planning to do any merged or direct profiles ATM, I think I'll be able to do these if want to without needing to get into a studio...
Does any of you seasoned profile makers (amateur or sellers) have any tip or advice you'd wish someone had told you before your first profiling session? My aim is to get the best possible profiles out of these beasts in the quickest possible way; I'm leaning towards low/medium gain profiles, but I think I'll try to cover everything these amps can offer, from cleans to sweatin'-tube dirty crunches.
The points I have more doubts about are:
1) Phase issues (I guess they'll be more or less easy to solve moving the mics around and analyzing the recorded waves in protools until they look and sound good)
2) Which guitar/s to use when doing the profiles. I think I'll try to dial in something that sounds good (or can sound good after a lil tweaking) in both SC and HB, but I'm not very sure how to do it LOL, I fear I might end up with something that doesn't sound bad but doesn't sound real good either with any guitar...
3) Refine or not refine? How?
Thank you very much in advance!
ps.- of course I'll upload these to the Rig Exchange once they're finished so I can give something back to this amazing comunity!

Never heard any of them 2, but the 108 seems to get a lot of love for the price

Some more -cheap- poetry, in my mother tongue
:Mirando en pantalla cómo la gente se exalta,
el verano volaba;
saboreando un whisky de malta
para mis adentros yo pensaba:
"en el foro la gente está que salta,
mas mi sonido nunca alcanzó cotas tan altas"
Pero cuán equivocado estaba,
¡y pensar que no sabía que un editor me hacía falta!

It's great to know how easy it is to go 'on the road' nowadays with just a guitar (or bass in your case!) and a USB... As others said, I hope more music instruments rental companies begin to buy Kempers as a standard for the touring musician!
Have a great tour there in the far east!
On the other hand, it actually seems future is now, Ingolf !
Seriously, I believe in the future when big shows will be even more "events" and "happenings" as they are now when you purchase a ticket you’ll get a decent pair of inears plus and app that will enable you as a customer not only how loud you want it to be but also what kind of mix you want: more drums, more guitar, more vocals, etc.
The customers' experience will be finally customizable.
It will come.

Great songs!!
Love the arrangements, harmonies, vocals, and of course the solos!
Good job!

Very nice track, congrats!!!

As a BIG AC/DC fan, I can't thank you enough! Will try 'em as soon as I can!

Looks like a floor unit, yep. I don't think I`d get one, as I´m happy with my kpa. But thinking twice, depending on the price... I might keep my kpa at my home studio and leave the floor unit for rehearsals and gigs. Interesting...

Have u tried reducing the power sagging?

Here's the thread where DamianGreda is updating the news about his awesome work:
Toast ME(Midi Editor) : third party Kemper Profiling Amp editor
-
There's an unofficial editor. It's called toast.me and it is supposed to work great. I haven't used it a lot tho.
-
Sounds great, nice one!
-
I guess you mean the toaster?
Have u checked this out?

+1, this would be awesome.

I wish there was a setting to turn off the cabinet block automatically when a speaker is plugged in.
But then what would happen if you plugged into a passive FRFR...? You would sound way crappier than u did in your gig!!!
