Another badass profile pack from Tonecrate!

Been playing the Rhoadie and Terrier packs all day. Both are excellent representations of Marshall 1959RR and Fryette Pittbull/DL style amps.

This Terrier is the best Fryette style profile I’ve played yet!

MATTFIGLOVE is the code....

Get 50% off everything.....VERY SMALL WINDOW of opportunity....But a chance to load on up what you have been missing....If you have ready any reviews, you know these are highly rated profiles.

Thanks for reading,
Mattfig

Cheers Matt! Just picked up the Terrier and Rhoadie packs!

For those who don’t know, these profiles (like many from Matt’s collection) are taken from the modular preamps of Salvation Mods. As an ex-owner of the modular amps, I can tell you that many of Salvations preamps are improved circuits based upon their originals.

I owned a lot of the real amps that the preamps (and Matt’s profiles) are based on, and in most cases they were better than the real thing. Matt’s profiles definitely capture these qualities.

I picked up the MattFigg Graphic OR and it’s every bit a classic Orange OR amp!

Highly recommended for the mere $10 price tag!

That was some of the best news I've ever heard. I used to have a poster of that amp on my wall. I recently showed a co-worker the amp and he loved it! I can't believe there's actually going to be a profile of it! (RIP Jeff)

It's Jeff's Heiniken logo Marshall amp that Mark did for him and profiled with one of his actual guitars and one of his custom Marshall 4x12 cabs.

JEFF HANNEMAN'S HEINIKEN MARSHALL????!!!!!!!!

I subscribed recently for the Rob Arnold pack and I’m very happy with the purchase.

If I don’t like what comes later, I can always unsubscribe. Win-win.

I think it’s a great idea for the Kemper.

I miss my old Orange OR15, that little amp was insane! I never got to try it’s bigger brethren.

I’ve been going through all the popular profilers and I haven’t found an OR’s as yet.

I know MattFigg has the OR100 from Salvation, and that’s killer.

I’m just wondering if there’s anyone I’ve missed?

I’m looking for a Camplifire 180 or 290 power amp.

Also looking for a KPA Toaster carry bag.

I picked up the ReampZone Suhr Badger 18, and HOLY SH*T!

I’ve only just played thru the direct profiles with my ART / Bogner cab. It might well be the finest Marshall voiced amp I’ve ever played!

I played on a Suhr Badger in store last year and this profile pack does it justice!

I’m going to find it hard purchasing any other Marshall styled profiles with this incredible pack! It does everything from super clean to Plexi drive to modern metal. YES, believe me!

Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended!

I played thru these today, thank you very much for such a great collection!

That Mesa Quad was such a sweet addition, I've always been very fond of that preamp.

The VH4 was likely my favourite, so well captured with the 33.

All the tones are a great representation of the 33 pedal thru some amazing amps.

I've recently had the 33 and Bogner Shiva in my studio and your profile was dead on!

Just tried the Rob Arnold (ex-Chimaira, The Elite) guitarists pack. VERY impressive.

His 5150 tone from their 2nd album / 2004 documentary was what led me to buying my first tube amp (a 5150) a few months later.
The 6505 tones on this pack do not disappoint! Great Clean, Crunch, Rhythm, and lead tones, plus a few extra Octave / Harmony profiles.

My actual 5150 (sitting next to my KPA) is currently collecting dust.

Early days, but the tones are top notch!

I bought this today! Killer pack!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kemper is aware of the distortion-and-overdrive-stomp shortcomings, Ben.

The lineup is being tweaked (and expanded) either as we speak or in the near future.

Awesome! Super happy to hear that!

The Green Scream is definitely the least exciting overdrive model I've ever played. It kind of reminds me of a TS-9, but not really.

An OD808 would be a much better fit (IMO). I'm sure there are plenty of profiles featuring one I've yet to discover.

I know the Green Scream is meant to be a cross of the TS-9 / OD808, but I really don't feel it. It's missing that warmer mid hump that the OD808 gives you.

Thanks for all the help, it was the noise gate setting. All better now.

I've never signed up for one of these monthly crate things, but that's mainly because they usually cost $40+ and look to be full of unwanted merch.

The Tonecrate isn't actually a crate, but a monthly subscription with Kemper profiles.

I like the current Rob Arnold (ex-Chimaira) offering, so the $17 per month sign up is acceptable.

I know I'm not going to love every months "packs", but if it goes that way, I can un-subscribe at anytime.

I have to say, I'm impressed by the idea for the KPA and pretty excited to see what comes of it.

I’m having problems with a weird “warp” sound when I go to strum that sounds unnatural.

It starts whenever I go to play. It’s a split second from the first tone hit.

It’s pretty hard to describe.

Anyone come across this?

Cheers Matt, that OR100 is excellent!
