I have a 2LP with BBC recordings of Hendrix. In the liner notes they write the BBC engineer told Jimi he was getting back a lot of feedback and distortion. It took a while for Jimi to make them understand that was his sound...

I know, old thread but i finally got off my lazy ass and tied to figure it out. Album version off YT. Harmonic Pitch, interval 1 Unison, Interval 2 +3rd. Key is Ab(Fm relative minor). Probably in A but tuned down a half step. Play the BOTTOM line.

With the Roland stuff, modeling works flawlessly but with the GS PCM stuff you keep having the tracking problem. I always try to play the part on the keyboard first.

Hey, I have a GR55 and VG99 as well as a Kemper. Don't use the Roland stuff a lot anymore but i keep it just in case. 12 string Rick simulation or GS stuff. Nice setup!

Or an organ module like the EHX B9. I have a Roland VG99 , a Gr55and a dirt cheap Boss Katana head all with a Metheny GR300 simulation. The Katana obviously works with a normal jack cable.
Wilder idea. Use the USB input with a Roland device like the GI-20 and a hex pickup. Use midi mono mode. Then you could process each string individually. Think of the possibilities, alternate tunings etc.

Wouldn't he need an intelligent harmonizer? So say we're in C: the harmonizer knows that when you play a C it should add a major 3rd and on a D a minor 3rd.

Back to the 80's !

Ibanez RG 550 from a local thrift store. F series, Fujigen Japan 1989. Before overhaul. Look at the price tag
OK it has the feared crack in the headstock and very low flat frets. Hey you can't have it all...[Blocked Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/192020954@N02/51887232191/in/album-72177720296706186/]

Just scored a laptop in the local thrift store. Intel I5 chip, 8 Gb RAM, 220 Gb SSD (!). 45 euro. It has a Windows 7 sticker on it. It ran W7, W8, skipW9, now W10 and without a doubt it will run W11. The old standby Kemper is still up to date.

There are no modelling devices which will make a standard guitar, tuned to standard pitch tune to something like drop D, drop C# or similar.
Not true. Any old guitar with a Roland GK pickup and a Roland GR55, VG99, VG88, Boss GP10 etc. modelling device will do the trick.

I just scored a Roland VG99. You don't see them for sale often and i wanted one for a long time. The basic modelling is surprisingly good for a 10+ year old device. It really shines with a GK pickup and 13 pin cable. I just recorded a song with a VG99 modelled 12 string Rickenbacker guitar, it sits nicely in the mix. Alternative tunings. Drop down tunings for the metal dudes. Low E and A strings with a bass sound one octave lower.
I know the Kemper doesn't have a 13 pin Roland input but it has a USB input. I have a Roland GI-20 interface from Roland GK to midi over USB. It would be so cool to be able to process each string individually with the Kemper.

Very nice! Never seen one with a Sustainiac. That JEM isn't bad either!
-
I just looked into Boss Tone central. The rec out has its own cab sim so it's not neutral.
-
I have a HT-5 head, it has a tube power stage so it's going to color your sound a bit. I have a UK Marshall 1922 cab, the old Blackstar rocks on it
5 watt can be loud on a good cab though. My Boss Katana has power scaling, i run it on 0.5 watt!

I also have a 1990 S540, same neck, same problem. It's 30 year old wood though and you can feel it. There's the new Genesis RG550 reissue, pricing is OK for a MIJ Ibanez but it'll feel like a new guitar.

Ibanez RG550 F series Fujigen Japan 1989. I scored it in a local thrift store for a song! Ok there were several parts missing and it has 2 major problems. The neck has the infamous crack in the neck/headstock region. And the frets have been levelled almost down to the wood, extremely low wide frets. So i would have to refret it myself... Awesome shredder though!
-
you could try the line output of the kemper to the line in of the interface.
-
You could also use the very handy Performance mode...

Does the Marshall Code amp have a Power Amp In? Or an Effects return? You don't want to connect a line level signal to a guitar input. Use the Monitor Out of the Kemper.
