80's-90s pop demo Kemper video

jonwrightguitar · Jan 7th 2016

Hello all!

I spend a lot of time doing remote guitar track recording and until recently have been using a range of stuff for electric guitars, from real amps and mics to valve preamps, speaker/cab emulations - you name it. I picked up a Kemper a little while ago and now the December gig rush is over am spending a bit of time working with it. I've known about the KPA for ages but in a way I'm pleased to be coming to it in a mature state (the software, not me). Stuff like Pure Cabinet is a bit of a deal-breaker and the promised revisions to the delays bode well. Anyway, I made a short pop/rock demo video with some 80s-90s influences - hope you enjoy. Any questions just ask!

Jon

The link/video doesn't work, dude. On this forum, all you have to do is paste the youtube URL and it embeds it automatically

If you can not wait you will not become old

In fact we play in our rock band some of the 60ies and are sometime surprised, that lot of young people know and like this songs.
So I've also a serios interest to find some KPA Rigs and sound examples for that decade.
I like it to find here some profiles of amps of this time.
I understand that this is'nt the majority here .

I can get no ......(censored) - Harry

Thanks for the kind comments all. So impressed with how easily the tones fit into a mix - the benefits of good profiles I guess!

You got it
Yes, so I use an extern device. (TC-Electronic Hall of fame).

Looking hopefully for the kemper future - Harry.

jonwrightguitar: can you tell something about the used profiles? Have you used own profiles or profiles from the RE.

Monkey_Man · Jan 9th 2016

Yeah, I'd like to know too.

Harry, sounds fair enough to me mate. There are some vintage rigs on the exchange and at least 1 or 2 free packs of oddball and home-made vintage amps floating around somewhere, so you could try them? Otherwise keep looking on the exchange; there're bound to be some old Fenders and Gibsons on there...

Very nicely done good sir!

(Edit the wrong quote)
I use Profiles from RE and Profiles I bought.
I do not believe that I can do it better then the Profis here.
The bougt rigs are from soundside , Bert Meulendijk, Guidorist, Waraba, Rigbuster, TAF, MBritt and some other.
It is interesting to look what these profis are doing. The money I spent for that is peanut to compare it with the price of the Gear.
Mainly I use clean or crunchy sound.
High gain is for younger than me

At the moment I have definded 6 preformances
1 + 2 for the Rock band
1 for the Duo (for seniors)
1 for Bigband (one rig I will change the acoustic to a rig from waraba for a holowbody Guitar todays evening))
1 for acoustic guitars
1 from Guidorist for specail purpose (mainly Rock solos )
1 Performance of Andi (TAF) Profiles is in preperation

@ jonwrightguitar + @ Sharry: thanks for your information!

I'm glad a couple of people have asked about the profiles as I forgot to make a note! I'm piecing it together from the snapshots I took (wish the kemper had a browsing history!)

Intro: I can't remember, think it might have been something Fendery or /13 from Britt, obviously with a stereo chorus
335 part: Britt Boggy Helos - 2 9 or 2 8
Bass: I think it was the Amp Pig Cln 2 (pretty sure it had the chorus on it already, and that the only bass profile with chorus already on!). Literally just turned the browse knob, found this and hit record.
Clean delay Cure-style part: again not sure, something clean with a delay
Final solo played on the Suhr: Britt Diezel VH4 Ch3 N2

That's about it!

My approach to profiles is still quite 'spray and pray' - randomly browsing until something sounds good. Next week I'm hoping to do some profiling of my own and get things a bit better organised but it's all good fun.
