internal tube screamer sound awful

???

What's wrong with that? I hear nothing funny in your clip...

Really? To me it sounds as expected. Like an amp that's pushed a bit.

I have an original Tube screamer and when I use it, it sounds EXACTLY like your clip. The original Tube screamers hump up the mids quite a bit which is what I hear in your clip.
HOWEVER...... With that said, I don't find the modeled TS to work like my original. What I mean is that I find the modeled version to be A LOT more sensitive in that a little goes a long way. In other words id have to put my Original TS on 10 in order to get the results that the Modeled version gets on like 1 1/2 or 2. This has just been my experience.

Also in my experience I think the TS model is one of the best if not the best I've heard and I've used them all

from the clip I can hear the difference in the sound with the screamer off or on. But as the others said, it is not that awful. one dumb question: instead of adding an overdrive pedal, have you tried to increase the gain?

I play the guitar since year 6, now I'm 46 and have tried everything in every place: marshall to Bogner, Mesa to Kemper.

after all these years I never use a distortion pedal since the distortion aboard the things I have used is way sufficient.

especially in the kemper, in the 100% of my tests, both live and studio, I never had the need to add a distortion stomp to the sound, which causes NECESSARILY a compression and makes the sound somewhat closed...........

I always raise the gain to the desired level. after all, and trust me on this, the kemper main gain control can give you way more distortion than the various things I have had in my hands.

just my poor advice...........

To me it sounds fine. Works/sounds just as expected. I think this is a classic case of 'subjective tone'. To you it might sound 'wrong' or maybe 'bad', but to others....perfectly fine. I use the Green Screamer in many of my profiles as I find it really tightens things up. I LOVE it.

Yes, it is very subjective.
I'm not really fond of the green screamer, but luckily the KPA takes real pedals quite well. Just throw a real overdrive between your guitar and the KPA.

Oh, and CK said, he might include a different (Maxon) overdrive in the near future. The new version might suit some of us better.

Listen very carefully and the muting notes sound like a cocked wah in that clip. Ive never owned a real tube screamer so have no idea if that's what you'd expect to hear or not?

See the thread about asking for an OD808 model in the Kemper; CK is aware of the issue and said he'll try to add in an OD808 model.

Greetings,to all , i`m newbie to this forum) and newbie for kemper stuff)
but already have some questions

recently i buyed some greats profiles from ampfactory ))and very impressed
fat chunky tube sound ,great to play and feel

but then i turn internal tubescreamer on front ,it sound - wierd, plastic, emphasised
and absolutley unnatural - green scream with softest settings - drive -5 tone - 5 volume 0
i had many hardware screamer pedals ,none of them sound like this ...

it is a bug , or bad quality digital model ?
i attached a example

The Kemper TS settings to not emulate reality. From what I've read, Tone at 0 (noon) on the Kemper is more like tone at 10 on a real TS. There are some other quirks with it which some users have experienced as well. But I have to agree with the other posts that I'm not sure it really matters in this case. The Kemper has tons of gain available if the goal is to boost gain or the ability to place a parametric EQ before the amp if the goal is to shape the tonal response which allows far grater control than a TS would allow. Honestly, the this clip sounds as I would expect, a bit more "aggressive" than the real deal but not night and day IMHO...

That thread is about adding a Maxon model. The Green Scream is modeled after the 808 RI of CK

Listened to the second clip. Must be going deaf as I barely hear a difference when engaged. Gain set at 0? I wrote a post a few months back about the TS seeming gainier than real life, you're probably experiencing the same.

Hi artembankin,
welcome here

Sorry for the somehow tough initiation, things must be a bit hot here nowadays because certain posts over a certain well-known forum I won't mention here
.. But please believe that this is usually a very relaxed SIG

Back to topic, have you given a look at the rig structure? Most of Andy's profiles have GEQ both before and after the amp... depending on where in the chain you engaged the dist, it might have been affected by that. Might be worth checking it
