M Britt Kemper Profiles

Quote from Rescator

I am glad you feel the same with your TAG's ,it is not secret anymore !

Update : my credit card get stacked in ATM machine today , so I can buy Mike's profiles only next week or so.
Meanwhile , I tried his free 72 Marshall and get blew up .
And yes , playing low volume with QSC - it is very ,very good profile.
But playing loud through real amp/cab - transform this profile to Marshall Beast !
Probably the best sounding Marshall up to date in my KPA , but more important -it fit my Anderson Drop Top so well, as no any profile .
It seems that they are born for each other -WITHOUT ANY TWEAKING -just as is .
And to second what Chase said , for the first time my powerful Drop Top doesn't feel over-pronounced ,it felt just right !
More , as I go higher with volume , tone get better and with more open and airy ,but no harsh, no way ,just bells like frequencies !
Bass, middle and highs are so well mixed and synergized , as only real amp can do . Amazing !

On the end, (maybe I'll open new thread for this subject) rhythm chops and solo tones are identical .
I want to say, lots of profiles have that powerful sound when one play power chords, but soloing is sometimes tiny , so pedals must be used to fatter the tone .
Not with this profile , endless sustain and fat single tones are so obvious , and have the same power as chords .
(very, very interesting, if not the main impression about this 72 Marshall profile ......)
Still have to try Bulldog , it might be even better !

It might be the best profile for Anderson guitars I know of up to date , but let see, let wait a bit ...

Relax, it's not the TA guitars or pickups that make these great Profiles, they're great Profiles because Michael knows how to dial in amps and how to mic them, no matter what guitar he uses.

Mark Beling started using the Kemper live for the first time after buying these Profiles, and he's using a Tokai Tele with TA pickups, and a Tokai LP with stock Tokai pickups...and his live tones are incredible using Michael's Profiles for both guitars..

At home I use studio monitors and the band I use it with I use the little TC Helicon FX150 Voicesolo mounted on my mic stand. We are a small 3 pce band and all go direct to PA doing mainly corporate gigs. Not the best method nor will compete with the CLR's, QSC'c. Yamaha's etc. But it works for me as I have limited mobility and the other options are too heavy for me to carry. And overall sounds pretty good esp with your profiles

<p>Just throwing my two cents in here. I use 2 Yamaha DXR 12's as my main monitoring rig, unless the house monitors are great, which often happens as well. In general though, I am always playing through my yamahas: at home . or at shows. I have a pair of adam a7x's that I listen on as well, and between these two, they are very consistent to what I am hearing at the FOH. I personally planned to buy the QSC K series stuff, but after hearing the yamahas their was no contest, atleast for what I wanted to hear and enjoy.</p>

I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a Jackson amp. They're pretty rare around here. And thanks for the info on the live rigs, guys. I'm definitely not changing my formula at all, I just wanted to get something similar to what many of you are using (K10 and similar) so I could just hear what you're hearing as well as what I already had. Some profiles just come out great the first time and some I have to do a few times to get the perfect "take," at least what I was looking for out of it.

The Dumble is definitely the hardest amp I've tried to profile. It may have to be its own set. I've already got 80 different Dumble and Dumble clone profiles over the past 2 weeks to sort through. I'll probably include a couple on the 2nd Pack as well. Overall, I'm really happy with where I'm at with the 2nd pack so far. I'm still doing some road-testing with the new profiles. There are some definite winners. The "problem" is that there are too many good options sometimes. It's just a matter of taste and preference at any given time. Many from my first pack are still my go-to profiles, but many of the new ones are just as good. Some of the newer high gain profiles (Bogner and Diezel) kicked some serious tail during our last show's rock medley.

Thanks again to all of you for the kind feedback and answering my questions!

This is all great new. Thanks for all the hard work for us!

Hey Michael!!

Wow...I had a great show this weekend with your original pack. We opened for Lee Greenwood for the "Veterans Country Jam" and had a lot of appreciation for the tone.
Michael Wrights lead guitarist had to end up using my rig and was in love!! I got to hear my rig/your pack through the FOH. it was phenominal!! They had a sweet Avid SC48 Venue console pumping into flown Craft Audio/Novacoustics EL arrays. Man couldnt be happier with the tones at volume. Im telling ya'll these are the deal for live!!!!
Thanks for jumping in the game with your expertise.

Would be great to have profiles from a "real" Dumble, they are very hard to find.

Dumbles are so rare, I think it deserves to have its own bundle.
The Dumble Bundle.....try saying that quickly and perfectly ten times.

Mike,
I played Hughes & Kettner Switchblade amps most of the past 8 years and loved their warmth. My 2 died. Is there any chance you might be able to find and profile one? There are a few Tri-amps on the exchange, but your profiles are so much better, and the Switchblade is a much warmer amp than the Tri's.

Just a humble request.

Sound clips with the Dumble profiles can be found in here:

hey sixtycycle,

what did you use for a foot controller?

Hey Mike!
I subscribed for your emails and after trying the free Marshall I got I thought that if the rest of the pack sounds half as good as this it is worth it.
Just bought Pack 1 and I must say that these profiles really is something else and I have bought and tried a lot of profiles in my days!! Very, very good!!
Very few rigs needed any adjustments at all with my NOS CS Nocaster. Your Marshall JMP really is special, truly great sounding and in your face!!
Then the clean ones... I mean all of them, they are nothing but fantastic!! Fat and clear.

Im swiping my Kemper clean, (apart from just 2-3 free ones), this pack covers all my needs.
I had alot of fun with Ducking Octave Pad too and inspiration struck immediately...

Thank you for making these profiles available!!!

Hi, i have downloaded the trial verison of this 72 Marshall. At first try with headphones i did not like the sound at all.
reduced the gain: better. anyway, gave it a try and played 16 bars of my new song. listened to it in the mix.

AWESOME! SOUND!

does that mean that listening to bare profiles is useless? because they get their full flavour in the mix? surprising.
will give those profiles a try and definetely looking forward to those dumblebumble rigs.

Whatever sound you put close to another sound will change the way we perceive each and the whole. That's why when you listen to raw tracks from famous records the sound usually... sucks

BTW, this is one of the laws lossy audio compression is based on: sound that get less audible because masked or covered by other sounds are just cut away

<p>I don't want to get into a huge debate, that is so not even true, and I'm not sure where that Internet myth came from.... Plenty of guitar tracks especially modern tones sound amazing on their own....this &quot; ultimatum &quot; so to speak needs to stop being spread because I see it everywhere...</p>

If I hadn't already bought these, hearing so many people say how well they work for both live and in a recording would have gotten me to pull the trigger My guess is settling on the best of the rigs by using them in a live context has a lot to do with their versatility.

An overly fat guitar track will suck the life out of the drums and make the bass sound like flatwound strings.

At a live gig, the sound tech will remove any excess low end in the guitar, if it is competing with the drums and bass.

Some people track the guitars thinner than "amp in the room", some track them raw, and adjust them later. That is a matter of personal style for the Producer/Engineer.

So, yes, plenty of raw guitar tracks sound great on their own. Those raw tracks also can subsequently get EQed, compressed, pannned, submixed, etc. to sit better in a mix.
