HELP!!!!
I've been trying to create a direct profile of my Deluxe Reverb. Volume is on 4 (not really distorted, mostly clean).
My profile chain is as follows; guitar plugged into KP front input, KP direct output/send to guitar amp input, amplifier speaker out to 'from amplifier' input on KP direct box, KP direct box 'to cabinet' connected to guitar amp speaker, KP direct box 'to profiler input' connected to return input of KP.
I'm creating a distorted profile, cabinet off selected.
I can monitor the direct amp sound while playing by the output through my external amp/4x12 cabinet turned up louder than the amp that I'm direct profiling. This isn't an ideal configuration...and honestly I SHOULDN'T have to even monitor at all since it's a direct profile, but since my profiles are turning out bad, I wanted to compare the direct sound before profiling. The direct amp sound through the kemper and to my power amp/4x12 is nearly identical to (surprise) the direct amp.
Here's the problem...I create a direct profile of my amp, and when I play it, the sound is as if the input to the KP has been overdriven or if I have a fuzz pedal in my signal chain. I can (as said in the last paragraph) monitor the direct amp input from the KP direct box, and it sounds undistorted with proper levels before I create the profile. The profile is always distorted and overdriven.
Any help sorting this out would be GREATLY appreciated!!
-Thanks in advance!
