Here's an interesting comparison.
Neve VS API mic pre.
TS808 to EVH 5153 ch2 to Recto cab to Single E906 to Neve or API.
Would love to hear opinions.

I wasn't planning to profile my 6505 yet but I got a request =]

Would you mind explaining the gain staging issue a bit further? How loud did you usually have to set the amps for it to be optimal? I'm guessing just enough until they open up, but not too loud so that power amp distortion kicks in? Also, did you notice there being a problem once it got so loud that the speakers started to really move?
By gain staging I mean the level returning to the Kemper.
I always run an amps volume at its sweet spot which can sometimes be very loud (JCM800).
Luckily, as a commercial studio, I can run as loud as I want =]
I have found that it's better to return the signal to the kemper lower and let it sort out the level itself rather than return a hot level, which sounds choked.
I'm running Neve and API mic pres so I can set any return level I want. -
Thanks for the kind comments guys.
I working my ass off to get the best profiles possible and the feedback from everyone is extremely helpful.
My packs won't be expensive but will be very good.
I'm avoiding scratchy high mids and boominess which seems to plague a lot of profiles, especially the default ones.
Based on feedback received and trying them in some mixes, I have actually scrapped the 800 and Jubilee profiles I shared and am starting from scratch, actually doing them at the moment.
I will post an updated version with the 30th Anniversary cab when they are done.
I have a large collection of heads and cabs to get done in the coming weeks, finding time between studio sessions.
It's hard work. I took the afternoon off yesterday and brought my daughter for pizza because she kept asking me am I working again.
Updates for the 2 Marshalls should be up Tuesday and they are much better. Fatter and less piercing high mid.

Since everybody loved the JCM800 I shared, here is Marshall Silver Jubilee through the same 30th Anniversary Marshall cab.
11 profiles covering the range of gain this lovely amp has to offer.
This will be part of a larger pack with a load of different cabs.
Free for a limited time so don't miss it.
Updated with Louder master volume and better mic placement and amp EQ.https://www.dropbox.com/s/1vu0…s_MarshSJ_6960av.zip?dl=0
Please comment with opinions and clips or video demos highly appreciated.kemper-amps.com/wbb/attachment/4023/

Thanks guys. Hopefully you get good use from these.
Load up unboosted gain 6 and play Highway to Hell. \m/ -
Didn't get a chance yet. I have borrowed a few heads and need to get them profiles through all my cabs before I give them back and I have recording sessions in for Friday until Tuesday. Pretty hectic week =}. I will certainly check the impulses against profiles cabs in the next few days and report back.

Thanks.
The main thing I have learned is getting the gain staging (volume) right into the Kemper.
A couple of early profiles I made where a bit harsh sounding so I really investigated why.
The Kemper works best with plenty of headroom.
As for mic positions, very similar to positions I always use.
With the IR packs I made impulses for each mic, making sure they are all in phase (even between the different packs),
but with the Kemper only one cab can be loaded at a time so I'm critically listening and finding the best combination and levels for mics before I profile.
I'm using outboard mic pres and Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt into logic pro and putting each mic channel to input monitoring and sending them to a bus back to the Kemper so I can easily adjust the balance of the mics before I run the profile.
The JST "Conquer All" packs all have Kemper format impulses too =]
As you have probably noticed, I love talking about this stuff so fire away if you would like more info.

This set of JCM800 into Marshall 30th Anniversary 4x12 cab profiles will be part of a big pack with a selection of cabs later.
Free for a limited time so get it quick.
13 profiles from clean (ha ha, only joking)...crunch to heavy saturation and also boosted with Tube Screamer and MXR Custom Badass OD.https://www.dropbox.com/s/qukn…MS_JCM800_6960av.zip?dl=0
Please report back with opinions.
Clips or video would be awesome. -

Rockerverb 100 MK2.
I have shared the full pack for this amp too now.
My first full pack. Rockerverb to 6 different cabs from clean to crunch to heavy plus direct. Feedback please -
Another awesome free pack for you guys.
I'm currently profiling Marshall Silver Jubilee and JCM800 through all my cabs. I love my Marshall SL5 Slash signature amp through the Bogner cab so decided to profile it at all different gain stages.
Captured through combination of 3 mics (SM57, MD421, M201) into neve and API preamps for 11 profiles.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Killer little amp. Please post opinions in the comments below.
If anyone wants to do a good video demo I'd really appreciate it too =]
