Profiles specific for Pedal Steel Guitar

    I went through hundreds of profiles on my new Kemper and found only a few profiles suitable for my pedal steel guitar.

    I know about the DB-PSG profiles that can be found and two dobro profiles.

    I only want to buy a profile (pack) when I am sure it will work / sound well for pedal steel guitar.

    I do not want to spend a lot a money and get stuck with hundreds of profiles that may be very suitable for guitar but a not great for pedal steel guitar.

    Can everybody in this community who plays pedal steel guitar and bought profiles or profile packs that sound great tell me what profiles they use and where they got them or bought them.

    This would save me and a lot of other pedal steel guitar players a lot of time browsing through hundreds and thousends of profiles and get us fast up to speed using the Kemper.

    ThanX in advanced.

    Hey there, fellow PSG player here. The BD-PSG profiles are mine, and just a caveat, those were my pretty early attempts at profiling. YMMV.


    Contact Michael Britt and ask if he has any pedal steel profiles - he usually sends out a free pack.

    My main advice would be to choose your cab first, lock that, and then audition different amps through that cab. The cab is always important to the sound, but super super important to PSG since we're looking for a different frequency response than most guitarists or bassists.


    Eminence sells IR packs for the Paul Franklin and Travis Toy signature drivers... that may be a place to start.

    Dr. Z sells a pack with the Surgical Steel amp, which some players really like.

    What about your own amp or amps? What were you using before the Kemper? Try your hand at profiling!


    Don't get too discouraged - the Kemper is really aimed at guitar, not steel, so we are adapting it to our needs. Find a few amps & cabs you like & live with them for a while, then re-evaluate. My profile tastes definitely changed and evolved over time so...happy hunting!

    Thanks Bryan - I’m making progress -! Slow but sure


    One q that would really help if how are you managing your volume pedal


    Are u using a conventional one in front of the kemper input


    Or an expression Pedal (if so pre or post stack)


    I have a lehle i can try from my guitar rig so that seems an obvious choice but also might splash for a Hilton if I ever get good enough to play it properly !
