Good evening all,
New user here, I've been making direct profiles of some of my amps as an experiment to then run through a Marshall 20/20 poweramp and into a 212 with cream backs.
So far I've had some amazing results - really, the profiles through the valve power amp sound almost indistinguishable from the real amps.
However...
On creating some profiles tonight of my JTM45 ri I discovered the following :
Profile A -
Amp settings Bass 6, Mid 4, Treble 6, presence 6, high treble volume 6, normal volume 4. Inputs jumped and guitar into high treble 1.
This profile through the Kemper into the 20/20 power amp and the cab sounds great - just like the real amp through the cab.
Profile B -
Exactly the same settings as above but with the normal volume on zero.
It should sound just like profile A above but with a little less gain and less bass/ bottom end - and on the real amp, it does.
BUT, on the profiler profile B sounds like it's a jcm800 on full gain and volume and with a tubescreamer boosting the front end, ie. Absolutely nothing like a real jtm45.
Completely different and wholly innacurate.
I've checked all the connections and settings on the Kemper and redone the same profile 10 times and each time it's the same result.
So the curious anomoly is, in a nutshell, the profile that should be cleaner and have less bottom end (as the real amp does when keeping the exact same settings on the amp but just turning down the "normal" volume) has the opposite effect of making it sound like a completely different amp with a boost pedal in front of it on the profiler.
Anybody have any ideas why this may be?
Thanks in advance!
