Headphone amp in the Kemper is way better than the headphone amp in that interface, man. Just saying...I've read complaints like yours from Focusrite owners for a while....even up to and including the 18i20, the big $600 one with all the I/O.

I remember a problem like this when I first got my Kemper, there was a thread somewhere that gave me some tips on matching up volumes and whatnot in the Kemper; I'll see if I can dig it up.

I'd want to say check your main outs volumes and headphone out volumes, it might be hitting the headphone out way harder than the main outs are hitting your interface...see if you can match those up.

Dude you have been so immensely helpful. Thank you for everything.

I really don't care about some dudes on the internet calling me a troll. It's forum life. I didn't lose any sleep over it. I'm not a troll, and I just figure they're the religiously defensive type. I just rolled my eyes, because all camps have them.

And yes, I was about to return it, even if the issue was with another piece of gear. It's really fucking lame that they refuse to develop that USB interface. Why? There's no excuse for it. Like I said, with Fractal, that just worked. What took two seconds with Fractal took 2.5 hours and $500 extra bucks with Kemper. It's technology. It should act like technology. Forget the bullshit car analogies and everything else. It's 2018. It's been out for 7 years. No excuses.

Much like an actual Editor, but Locrain covered that pretty well. But the physical interface is fine to use. It doesn't cost me extra money to buy something that folks on this board claimed I should have already had. Well, ya know what, I didn't. And I can't be the only guitar player out there that doesn't have one.

FocusRite definitely does blow. I get a weird static if I sustain a low note on just about any profile. It only happens when going through FocusRite. I'm returning that and getting a RME Fireface.

I like it enough to spend over a grand on an RME.

Glad you got it working RayRay man.....been following this saga over on TGP and glad to see it's over.

For the interface deal....I know it was a pain in the dick for you, but I actually like having a separate interface instead of having it built in like the Fractal....I had the II and was thinking on the III like we discussed, but as far as peripherals go, I like being able to have a separate product, with manuals and software and all of it; one of the things I actually didn't like about the II was that I didn't think the interface sounded that good compared to my Apogee stuff. I like having separate controls, Dim features, meter clearing etc just on the unit itself, I don't want to deep dive into a built in interface and deal with that.

Hoping that RME shows up and these things kick ass together, post back and let us know! I think once you get the workflow down you're going to be pretty amazed and what you end up with is gonna send that III packing back to Fractal land lol

Quote from Locrain

The new Mars profiles kick ass! Out of all your packs (of amps I knew about before you told me about them, haha), this one has surprised me the most out of all. I am pretty sure it'll do anything. Before this pack, I would not have called myself a Marshall guy. I loved the JVM, that's about it. But this amp rocks.

Quick clip before I wind down for the evening, double-tracked (as if you can't tell by the mistakes), 2 takes, no comping, so it's pretty sloppy. Light EQ/Limiter on the main bus.

Edit: I did turn on the Shaper and Dist stomps that Tim included, increased the gain on the green scream to 2 db, and raised the amp gain by about 1.5.

Dude you always do killer clips but this is prob the best I’ve heard from you Locrain

What does the Shaper pedal do?

Ashamed to say I barely use the FX in this thing; when I started recording I used to use delay as a crutch when playing/double tracking and I got a shit ton of heat for it from guys that know, so I’ve stayed away from FX for the last few years...

Profiles sound great Tim! deadpan

Dude that octave one was dooooooope!

Can be your settings, can be profiles.

Best I’ve found for recording are the SuckerFreeGear stuff, they cut through like nothing else.

Eliminate everything else and if it’s that, give them a shot, you’ll be glad you did.

Quote from szykman

sounded wicked

which daw did you used for recording this? was spdif? thank you

Thanks man!

Used Reaper, and no spdif, just main outputs into my Apogee Duet.

Yeah....this is a good one...SFG Marshall cab R with the Brown channel, Recto cab L with the Shark channel. These go in the recording folder for sure.

Clip coming later on today for this. Stoked!

ashtweth

Nice man, that’s heavy as balls!

Snorkler is another one of SFG’s profile packs. Slays hard, grab it if you can, it’s one of my favorites.

Might do that bro, just super busy with work atm; won’t have much free time until after the holidays.

Quote from ashtweth

Plenty of clarity and body man, was this the Fishmans?

Ash

Yeah Ash....the Modern is probably my favorite pickup right now, that thing is amazing.

Doubled this with the Snorkler. Dig it. Got a little arty in the beginning, but I had the day off and was bored lol

I just want it out there. If you’re into any type of metal these profiles are fantastic.

I’ve bought 5-6 packs (I’d have to check to be sure), everything from modded Marshalls to Bogners to stock Mesa, and they’re just friggin great.

I don’t know Jason outside of the forums, never spoken to him before I started buying profiles. I have no skin in this game other than to get people that want good tones to check these guys out.

I’ve bought from reputable vendors before, numerous types of amps. To my ears these are the best fit for me.

Drop B chug....damn good job J. Thanks man!

So this thing is straight up bad ass. Anything less wouldn't be SuckerFree.

I'm having a blast jamming it, but I'm too drunk to double track this.

Try and get one up tomorrow.

Thanks J!

Collected sir.

Drunk now, see if I can do it some justice.

Thanks mang.

$ sent J, flip it whenever and I’ll do up a clip with the Snorkler.

IIC+ plus pack is ready and will be made available tomorrow for purchase. 25 dollars introductory/direct price, 30 if you buy on Ebay due to fees.

If anyone wants to send funds now they can but I will not be sending out the IIC+ profile packs till tomorrow afternoon or early evening.

I will start a new thread describing the pack and everything you get and how we did it.

Nice man, can’t wait to see how this sounds with your other stuff!

Cash crunch right now, I’ll try and pick it up next week. Any of you guys that get it chuck up a clip!

We will probably do a profile of this setup sans effects:
