M Britt Kemper Profiles

Thanks for the confirmation. That's one of the wildcards with the Kemper.....you don't know exactly the settings that were profiled, and I'm typically one that likes to know.

bigb6611, Really love the tone and mood of this tune. Awesome

djayart - "Can i have more details about the cabs on the two Marshall amp please? Loudspeakers and cabs used ? Thanks" - I just had heads so I used my 3rd Power 212 cab. That's what I usually do anyway to keep a little consistency between profiles. There are lots of guys doing whole rigs with different cabs and all but I just prefer mine using the same or more similar cabs. The speaker I'm mic'ing is a Celestion Classic Lead 80 and I'm mic'ing it with an SM57 and a Cascade Fathead II mic (about 75% as loud as 57).
.

Thanks for the detail. Nice choice for the Celestion

Hi Bigb,

What a nice tune. I never managed to combine acoustic and electric the way you did here. Also I never could make any Dumble style amp work for me when using OD and a Strat style guitar. You make it sound good.

Cheers,

Hey guys, I appreciate the kind comments, thank you!

@MBritt: I am really enjoying your profiles. To me they are pretty much all keepers. One thing I like is the consistency - I guess having all amps profiled through the same speaker/mic combination is part of the equation. Great idea. I have yet to try the profiles in a live situation. Can't wait!

Cheers guys

Consistancy is a good word. Not only for volume levels between profiles of the same amp and the differing amps, but between my differing guitars. Its rare that one profile fits all my guitars.

I've profiled a decent bit and this mystifies me, so I'm enjoying the magic!

I concur. I'm not at tweeker and knowing I can switch between a /13, Princeton, Bogner, Dumble, or CAA without a huge change in eq or the volumes being all over place is fantastic. I've purchased hundreds of dollars of profiles so far and these are easily the most usable live. Please keep doing it the way you're doing it and I will purchase everything you put out. Thanks Mike!

Yeah, I don't know how he does that. I normally always have to tweak to get a good live sound with my power amp and guitar cab but these profiles sounds superb live as they are as well as in headphones, etc. Didn't even know that was possible.

A while ago I started a thread where I suggested to Profiles Producers to make some ''Loud Packs'' which contain profiles tweaked to sound good live and loud. M Britt profiles are exactly what I meant at the time!

I just bought the MB pack 2 and can confirm they lean towards the "dark side." I haven't done any recording with them yet but was curious if this pack was geared more towards live work verses studio work? I've never used the kemper live before so didn't know if a darker tone translates better. Also, one thing is sure, all our ears are different so one man's too dark is another's just right:-)

True

Exactly what Michael said.

At home, low volume, add two LEDs on the Treble knob, three LEDs on the Presence knob and turn a dark Profile into a light Profile.
Why is it some Kemper users are so apprehensive to use the tone knobs?

Agree with this as well. These profiles are so suitable for live usage because they just aren't that trebly and over-presenced. At home with low I tend to turn the treble knob up a little as well but I'm a pretty loud player onstage and I never ever play that loud at home. And at that stage volume these profiles really come alive!

Well since I LOVED pack 1 so much, I just bought pack 2.
I will go through it today and report back....you have given me the tones I have been searching for over 20 years in one rig, Michael, thank you so much!

Hi,

Mike's profiles just keep inspiring me to write more tunes. This tune came to me when I was trying out profiles from Pack 2 and found the Victoria amp. Wow! Then there's the Vibro-King. Both these sound good and powerful with a 3 single coils strat style guitar which is a rare thing with any digital modeler out there. Even some real amp in the studio can't hang with Mike's profiles when it comes to being powerfully present and I can feel that when I play and it makes me play with more confidence and more dynamics.

So this tune is very different from what I usually write and play. It's a medium tempo blues shuffle. The guitar for all tracks is a maple neck James Tyler Classic (with bacon) with three of his Hot Laura single coils. I play slide about once a year and almost never write tunes where it fits. But this one was an obvious slide thing to me and I really enjoyed writing and playing it. Right rhytyhm guitar = Vibro-King. Left rhythm guitar = Victoria. Slide and lead guitars used the 3P Black Clean 1 profile from Pack 1 with compressor, boost and Green Screamer in Stomp slots A, B and C.

I hope you enjoy it!

In case you want to play this tune, you can find the backing track to this tune (and all my other tunes) in the music section of my web site www.nermark.com

Simply amazing pack 2!
My faves so far are the Little Walters, Marshall JMP, and CAA but I have only had limited time with them and truly all the profiles are great, it's going to be hard to pick my new faves as my rig stacks.

Mats, great tones!
Could you list your compressor, boost, and green scream settings for me if you wouldn't mind?
Just looking for a ballpark, and why you use the boost and green scream together?

Hey folks,

just my 2cents to Mike's profiles .... I do not know what it is but I stick since several weeks just with the Princeton profile. It sounds very real and natural and I ask myself.. Do I need really more..? May be a very ascetic POV? I made 3 profiles with changing gain out of the Princeton profile and add more overdrive if at all needed with my pedals. It is just a perfect fit for me and very happy with it. Thanks Mike!

Cheers Sacapuntas

I will say, mbritt has found some GREAT compressor pedal settings here. Not sure if mat tweaked them, or if you have the Britt packs, but his general compressor settings are intensity at 5.5, attack I think around 4.3, and he runs the mix at about 45% and volume at +o.5. These settings for me are pure gold with Mild OD or clean tones, even with both engaged. They seem to just fatten everything
up perfectly, I often leave his compressor on always.

Agreed. I saved it off for use with other rigs
