I am having some trouble getting some hi-gain tones I am happy with from some of my guitars. They are all Carvin guitars with passive pickups. Out of my 4 differnt guitars only one of them sounds really good and it is in standard tuning. The other three are all different tunings. half step down and two are whole step down. It seems the lower I tune my guitars the 'muddier' the sound gets from any given profile in my Kemper. I dont know if my pickups on my Carvin are not very good or what.
What is the best process for tweaking profiles for different guitars? Maybe that will help? I wa also considering maybe looking at getting some new pickups to replace those in my Carvins, maybe that can also help get those scorching metal tones I am after.
I should also say I do get some pretty good sounds but they all seem to miss something. Most of the guitars all have the same pickups and three are even the same model guitar but none sound the same on a given profile.
Thanks for any suggestions.
