Have you checked the input sensibilty?

You can convert IRs into Kemper cabs with Cab Maker, a program by Kemper you can download. That way you use any IRs as cabs inside the Kemper, not added to a direct profile thru any DAW you may be using. But you may just switch cabs from other rigs till you find one that suits you. Merged profiles in theory are better for that since the studio profiles separate cabs by approximation using an algorithm as V8guitar has told you. The point is if the altered rigs work for you, that's It.

You must have muted something.

TJ rigs have that tendency. Reducing the amount of reverb helps. It happens with lots of rigs I have tried from orther packs of his. Britt uses reverb moderately if at all, and his rigs usually have that presence. I could not resist, though, and bought the Purple pack, but I have had no time to dig into it yet. There is variety in spades, so I am sure some rigs will be go-to rigs for some stuff.

Rock players from the 80s wearing tights?

Gibbons is another case. I think he uses 8s. A heavy and/or stiff pick requires a lighter attack, esp with super slinky strings. I think SRV used average picks.

Try 11s first. The difference in output won't be as obvious as how much harder the tension will be on the fretboard. Archtops probable need that tension on the top of the body to sound good, and besides most old school jazz players do not bend notes that much/often as SRV, who had large hands. You play 9s, so even 11s will be quite a change! I have 12s in an acoustic and sure I have to fight it.

Nope. Performances are the folders, so to speak.

I'm not talking about Rig Manager. That's easy. I'm talking about the Kemper. As far as I know, there's no way to make subfolders there...

The SRV attack just won't work with slinky strings. But 12s and 13s ...

Create a subfolder for bass rigs and performances too. An easy solution.

Nice. Good idea.

Thanks a lot!!

Quote from Sollazzon

funny... You remind me when I was 20.. I definitely loved th 60's neck profile.

I add that some years later I've started to prefer the neck of 90's Les Paul Standard, something in between a 59 and a 60. . then I discoverd I'm at home with the R9 profile and now, sometimes I wish I had a 58 or 56 Baseball Neck. It seems the older I get, the Fatter I like it (it may sound a bit strange said like this)

Same here. I have an R6 GT with a pretty thick neck and I prefer it to guitars with very slim necks. I adapt to necks, but the 59 neck is just the perfect one.

If you use the cab as your monitor, the more important sound will be that sound or that from the FOH speakers? You may hear one sound and the audience another, but that is practically inevitable. Even when you use stage monitors or inears.

I suppose heavier strings are more influential on semihollow guitars, as they are clearly on acoustics. They push the top more. I think a Gretsch will sound better with 10s than with 9s; more volume , a more lively and responsive sound. But with your Strat you will feel rather than hear the difference. I agree that 11s will be too radical an increase for you.

I think It is a matter of feel in your fingers more than anything else. Plus the more or less strength you need for bends. I use 10s in both Strats and LPs, and obviously the latter are less demanding. I find 9s a bit too floppy for SRV style strumming with short scale guitars, but I have used 9s with an SG and bending is so comfortable that I can live with the floppiness. Still, I prefer 10s overall. Soundwise, heavier strings may demand a bit of a more aggressive attack, but it also depends on the kind of pick you use. You are already using a light top moderately heavy bottom set, I gather, since you use 9s and 46s . I would perhaps try 10 to 50 or something, and then decide.

Bert Meulendijk offers a great Friedman . Not expensive and versatile.

Me alegro!! Congrats!!!

Thank you!
