Gotcha , so I need to put it in front of my amp and dial it in, and then I would capture the amp with preamp in front in a profile

Interesting I did not know that I have a preamp box that is very unique and essential to my Gretsch tones.

... and everyone knows you always need more cowbell!

Great to see you back, Jen.

I've been MIA also doing "analog stuff"(see below), but I popped in occasionally to see if you were back.

Great to see you back also!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I always seem to be futzing more with levels when I go analog, but with SPDIF most of the profiles don't distort from too much level.

I also like having less cables, I'm just a home studio player always through the same setup. 2 cables for SPDIF will take care of most of my needs and save some inputs for mics and cowbells.

For any Brian Setzer fans, I've uploaded a profile called

Prince Brownie DB

The DB stands for DynoBrain which is a stompbox preamp just like the one used in his Space Echo. I know the profile is not a 63 Bassman but that preamp is a big part of his tone and sounds great in front of any Fender amp.

It's currently dialed in for a Tele. Use the definition to adjust for your guitar, such as a Gretsch you'd turn it up to around 7.

Finally got around to profiling my most favorite practice amp. The Fender Princeton 65 reissue with the 10' Jensen Alnico speaker.
There's quite a few different Princeton's already on the Rig Exchange but I thought I'd give myself a "shout out" because I'm pleased with how these have turned out.

I successfully translated the joy I have playing this amp to profiles. They are called.

Prince Brownie CLN
Prince Brownie DIRT

enjoy!

Yep that's it! Tavo changed the name to DynoBrain. I got mine used off Reverb.com but you can order "built to order" from his website.

TopJimi has some profiles of a 63 Bassman (the one with the 6g6 circuit that Brian uses) that sound nice. But the real key to his tone (besides his chops) is the preamp in the Space Echo. It's like a HiFi preamp and makes every note stand out.

I use a DynoBrain in front of my Kemper with this profile and that's it! Now just many years of practice....

You are so talented. Luv Dio and your cover.

Cool, thanks. I wonder if this mod would make any more of a difference

Interesting. I disconnected the NFB when it was stock and it made the break up less "farty" sounding. The Weber speaker made all the difference and I really liked the clean side of the amp so I plugged NFB back in. But I bet changing that resistor value would be an improvement to try.

I recently purchased this cheap Monoprice 5 watt amp when they had a sale (I'm cheap $99 was just too much for an all valve amp) https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=611705

After putting some new JJ's valves in and a 8" Weber Alnico speaker it sounds like a Champ. Well I've never owned a Champ but this little buddy you just turn the volume up to 10 and tone 5 and play some James Gang

Anyways was so giddy I had to profile it so it's in the Rig Exchange under the name Chump

Enjoy!

Hey all,
Just curious if the Kemper has a "Demo" mode or some kind of "easter egg" where you can get ALL the LED's to flash different colors like a Christmas Tree. Not serving any purpose other than look cool.

My cat and I enjoy staring at flashing LED lights and I thought it might be kinda cool

I appreciate this level of critique of the KPA as long as it's civil and constructive, it can only make an already amazing box better.

Not trying to be a KPA cheerleader, but I'm just a bedroom musician. I run my KPA into a decent set of studio monitors and it's weird how my brain will get in the way of my ears. I can spend all nite trying to get that Keef or Gibbons or Mayer tone and when I get up the next day it sounds totally wrong.

I digress I don't know where I was going with this, but this box inspires me like no other modeler I've tried. However since I'm no pro I don't have the experience of being able to crank those tube amps as loud as they need to be to create those marvelous tones.

Very excited to try these Dr. Z profiles out

Curious if the profile pack includes any EF86 based amps? I know Dr. Z was one of the few manufacturers still making amps with this glorious tube.

My Browse knob is about to fall off from endless turning to get to the desired preset. I think I've heard others chime in on this issue but it makes no sense to me why you would see all the presets if you have an effect selected in your stomp (via the Type knob).

So basically when an Effect is selected with the Type knob, only the presets associated with that effect will show when you turn the Browse knob. If No effects are selected than show ALL presets.

I used to work with databases and this is a simple "one to many" relationship. ONE effect type to MANY presets. Hopefully this would not be too hard to implement. It would save some worn out knobs.

Thanks,
Jen

I love collecting picks and have a one of those little plastic storage organizers full of different materials and sizes. But no matter what kind of pick I try I always go back to the same pick I used when I first started playing.

I really enjoyed the feel of the Dunlop Jazz III XL and played them for 5 years but recently went back to Fender Celluloid because they sound good whether strumming fast clean funky chords or high gain lead.

I can "fake" a little slide with a Steel one, but those cats that have mastered the Glass one...oh so sweet to my ears

Quote from JSB

Motochick, were you able to buy an upgrade package that included all of these components, or did you search for each upgrade individually?

i bought the harness and pickups all together at http://www.SiglerMusicOnline.com . I think TV Jones sells the pickups and harness separately but a better deal at Sigler and it had everything I needed.

The only modification was to widen the control holes with a reamer or dremel tool to fit the USA 3/8" pots. Since the harness had a single tone control, I just put an unwired "dummy" pot in the other hole so it still looks cool.

I put the TV Classic / Classic Plus and love the tone. I don't currently see those on their website (maybe they are waiting for some more), but below is a link to the Setzer pickups. They are similar just a bit hotter wound.

Hey guys,
Quick question about the new Delays that were released with OS 5.1.

I notice I can put a delay in any of the Stomps position or in its proper place in Effects. Does it behave like it's in front of the amp if I put it in the Stomps section?

Just curious, I often try to reproduce vintage tones before there were "effects loops" so I'd like to put it in front of the amp.

Cheers,
Jen
