Please forgive my very clumbsy thread title.. here is my problem
I have profiled a few of my high gain amps and am very pleased with the results. The profiles from these amps do have some noise which is normal in high gain amps and this noise is very easily solved with the KPA's noise gate. So i dont have a problem with noise that is naturally generated with high gain.
However i have been recording with the kpa and noticed that the recordings have some high frequency hiss which can be solved with a low pass filter on my daw but at the cost of the presence area which i do like on the profile. It is like the high frequencies contain sound from the amp and added hiss on top, and to substract the hiss i have to substract from the area of the guitar sound that resides in the highs as well.
I will try isolating a specific frequency to narrow cut instead of a low pass, but my question (finally! :)) is:
- Am i doing something wrong while profiling? am i missing something? I first wondered if it is just the settings on my amp or the mic position but my tone is not too bright or harsh and i do not wish to substract these frequencies; it just seems like there is some hiss on top of that..
Im analysing other factors that may be cause (maybe outside the kpa? ie cables interface etc) that but so far no conclusion.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
PS: does the kpa have filters that i can use? it seems it has parametric and graphic eqs but no filters unless i missed it (sorry if it is in the manual. I read it too long ago before i even received the kpa; i was just too excited haha)
EDIT: i am using the latest software version
