Mesa-Boogie Lonestar Special V.3

    Just uploaded a batch of updated profiles. Used a Sennheiser e606 mic and got deeper into Channel 2 which has drive, gain and master volume and let it sing! Profiles and naming convention:
    Channel 1 - C1
    Clean 30w
    Clean+ 15w
    Clean++ 5w
    Crunch 5w
    Channel 2 - no pre-amp drive - C2
    Clean 30w
    Clean+ 30w
    Clean++ 15w
    ICrunch 5w
    Channel 2 - with pre-amp drive - C2 D
    Clean++ 30w
    Crunch+ 30w
    Cranked- 15w :D
    Drive 15w
    Crunch 5w
    Drive- 5w
    Cranked 5w

    It's interesting how the Kemper has really made me re-evaluate my sound and my amps..

    Edited once, last by neil-c ().

    The power options are great when using a tube amp - to get power amp distortion at a lower level.


    But I found - during my Lonestar Special profiling session - that the profiles sounds almost the same.


    The 5Watt settings is a little bit different since it does not use the push/pull power amp configurations (since only one tube is used) - but this is only important for clean sounds.


    15 and 30 Watt's sound the same - there is a difference, because the 15 Watt setup use a tube rectifier while the 30 Watt setup use silicon diodes - but it's not a sounds difference only a different 'sag' feeling.


    Unfortunately will this not be captured by the Kemper - but it's possible to dial it in later - with the 'power sag' setting in the KPA amp section.


    The great thing - this is possible with any amp - we can convert each 'silicon diodes' powered amp into a 'tube rectifier' powered amp - with just one knob to turn - Cool!

    Great Profiles --> soundside.de

    Armin,


    Thanks - I couldn't tell much difference either, although I can perceive a difference when playing the Lonestar.


    I think these are much better than my first attempt at profiling, with the clean, breaking and lead sound doing the amp justice.

    If is a Flextone III try to run the kemper with cab on through the return, it could surprise you.... ;)

    Well spotted. I normally worry about socialising new guitars to avoid jealousy rather than amps...


    It's a Flextone II but I'll checkout whether it can power the kemper, though I've got a Mackie powered PA speaker


    Underneath the Line 6 is a Sessionette 75 which I need to try a capture at some stage. Too many things and too little time.


    Cheers
