Hi,
Been a kemper user for a couple of years. Recently, as we're starting to play small venues through 4x12 cabs (miced) I've started to plug my powerhead into a Marshall 4x12 for rehearsals.
Other guitarist plugs a Boss Katana into 4x12 & no matter what profile I play (mix of direct Marshall & Mesa mk2) I just can't cut as well. Volume no issue... I could probably kill the band if I wanted to but without cranking it I can't seem to compete.
And solos are even worse.
I use...
1. Low cut at 100hz, high at 8-10000 or whatever stops unpleasant high end.
2. Studio EQ with usually rhythm mix selected.
3. Clarity at 1
4. Gain usually dialled down a touch.
With direct profiles above that sounds EPIC alone, then when other guy kicks in it's a case of where TF did my guitar go...?
