Thks much guys!

firepile is the author of the profiles I tried that were excellent. A tweed super and bassman. I will. Heck the others

I recently downloaded a few excellent Kemper Profiles that had names that implied they were Fractal Axe 3 based. Sounds like a silly question but Is it possible to create a Kemper profile from a Fractal Axe 3 sound?

Yup I Just saw that. And HW at ToneJunkie nailed it. Although I bought a real Cali Tweed about 5 months ago. A killer amp. The Wattage control is very smartly implemented. Its not just a power step up. Tubes are added into the circuit as you dial up the power. So A Fender Tweed Champ has 2 tubes and its the 2 Watt setting on the amp. 10 Watts is a Princeton's tubes, 20 is Deluxe, 30 is Super or BandMaster and 40 is Low powered Twin.

I think this is correct.

Now I get to toy with the Filmore profile

I have purchased some speaker IRs from Celestion and a few others.

But how do I create an IR profile of my own speaker cabs? I can profile an amp but is there a way to just to a speaker? IE , i have a old JBL D130f 15 in speaker in a pine cabinet that sounds great. This is the same speaker in a vintage Fender Showman and Bandmaster cabinet. Would be happy to post and share this IR if i

Hi Chris,

THe Kemper actually sounds better ....fuller than the Valvetrain real amp

Hi,

I love your profiles. Have bought several .

Any plans to profile Fender Tweed or blackface with 15in Speakers. IE Showman, Band master, Tweed Super, etc?

If i have a 15 in speaker w an old JBL, is there a way to profile just the speaker?

Thanks

Is it possible to profile just a speaker ?

This thread made me stick my headphones on and listen to Love Over Gold and Making Movies this afternoon. Damn, those are some FINE tones!!!

I wonder what Mark's user name is on the forum. Maybe he's one of the guys constantly asking for a Kemper 2 floor unit with dual amp profiles and more effects recently

Just to clarify, Marcus Cliffe's Dumbel profiles are apparently being used by Mark Knopfler?

Also, Do you know where i can access the free Celestion profiles .I bought the Blue pack the other day and wanted to test out the free profiles.

Thanks

So I bought the Victory profile pack for their V40, which is a Fender Deluxe style amp. Rabea did the profiling and an excellent video (see below) on how he used a Universal Audio Apollo box to sum 3 different Mic's with UA eq and then rerouted that into the Kemper for profiling. Fascinating. He said thats how Michael Britt and others pros are doing it. This explains why my profiles sound kind of thin.

Great video here.

I was in my local guitar store this week and saw they had Victory amps. Actually they probably have been there for a yr but I never noticed them...too busy looking if any used vintage amps were for sale. Now that I owned the amp profile, for all of $4.99, i absolutely wanted to hear the amp live. So I played all of them. Great little amps, lite weight and full featured, reasonably price! Getting the customers attention in a crowded market is hard. But they did it.

Anyway, I agree that other amp makers should embrace profiling as a marketing tool.

Hi Morgan

I would like to see a profile for the new Mesa Boogie California Tweed amp. Any plans for that?

Thks

I am a big fan of Michael's profiles and own them all. That said, I agree w original poster and their should be an option to use the original stock cabinet in a vintage Fender amp rather than what Michael is using (ie 3rd power speaker for consistency ).

Hi

I would like to buy a profile for Mesa Boogie California Tweed, and clean and edge of breakup. Does anyone offer this yet.

Also, why dont amp vendors create and sell official branded profiles? Nice way to try before you buy the actual amp.

I was thinking of gettin one too. But would like to hear it. Why not release / share them? Thats the beauty of the Kemper family . In my opinion, amp makers should create their own branded profiles and sell them. I have bought several hardware amps after playing with the software emulation of that amp. Including a Fender Tweed Deluxe from Universal Audio. I have also passed on buying a really heavy Fender Super Tweed from 1956. Weighs too much. But liked the sound. Found a Profile that was kind of close. Nothing to me is the same as a real amp. That said, Mark Knopfler band is now 100% Kemper. And he is a tone questing freak. Would like to have his profiles. So Celebrity profiles.

From GuitarWorld article, “Mark’s long-serving guitar tech, Glenn Saggers along with Mark has devoted much of his time in the past six months to recreating Mark’s unique sounds [and] has done an amazing job. This switch from ‘real’ amps to digital devices is not for the faint-hearted and it wasn’t without its doubters. Now we are up and running and more than two weeks into the tour, we are all on board with them. They certainly allow for incredible separation in both in-ear monitors and front of house system. The sounds are amazingly responsive and malleable.”

So is anyone creating or selling a Mesa California Tweed profile? I would like to check it out if so.

I have good news for you.

You can create a profile of a preamp. Read the manual. It describes the procedure required to create a preamp profile.

Load the preamp profile and output the Kemper into a tube amp connected to a speaker cab. You have exactly what you want.

However, you can't create a separate preamp profile and a separate power amp profile and load both into a single Kemper. You'd need two Kempers to do that.

For example, say you wanted to create a profile of the Twin/Deluxe (T/DLX) module of the Synergy system and send it to a profile of a Mesa California Tweed power amp. The Mesa amp's section uses 6V6 tubes which can be set up in various ways.

From the Mesa web site:

Obviously, you could create a profile of the Synergy T/DLX preamp module, load it into the Kemper, and feed the Kemper's output into the return of the California Tweed.

But you'd still need to turn the switch to change the power amp's settings. That's not a good thing to try in mid performance.

So let's say you create 5 profiles of the Cali Tweed's amp, each with a different switch setting. Again, that is perfectly possible.

The issue is that a preamp profile is a rig. And so is a power amp profile. That's why to use both a preamp and a power amp profile, you'd need to use two Kempers connected in series.

I played a Fender Super tweed from 56 this week down in Miami. Great sounding amp. Agreed most people dont know about them. Does anyone make a great sounding commercial profile of the Super? Or is the Zoltan top notch?
