1st clip posted - Who says Kemper doesn't do classic MesaBoogie HiGain Tone ?

A bit bassy, not really my stuff (Jazz/Blues, Fusion), but prolly is maint to be so. You're not that rusted, good chops.

I like the tone and playing, however, listen to how loud the pick attacks are starting around 48. For me, they're distracting. I have the same issue with the Kemper and my higher gain stuff. I'm still trying to figure out a way to have that much gain and tame the attacks so that they're not so loud.

Increase the Amp compression and reduce the Pick. Clarity tends also to enhance pick when set too high

I'll give that a try, but, I really think it's just my playing style combined with tooooo much gain.

I like it - it especially sounds good through laptop speakers (they most likely don't reproduce enough 80hz for it to sound boosted there)

A Big "+1" on the amp parameter settings. Subtle use of the Amp Compression yields dramatic results.

Additional options:
A cabinet profiled with a slightly different mic positio , a thinner/softer/different material pick, and if all else fails, "hitting the strings not as hard, or at a different angle".

I don't think it has too much bass, it can even have a little bit more.
But I see that from a different perspective, it's good to go in a mix, where the master would fix what it still needs by small compression and limiting.
I also lowcut all my guitars from 100-125 hz, I rarely use any compression on guitars, but if it works for you and just to play through the KPA, it's a solution.
You can also use an EQ in the KPA to lowcut maybe? I never use it so I'm not sure.

Thanx to Okstrat and TylerHB for the profiles I used here.

I am very happy with the result, maybe too much in the 80hz band... Anyway :

Feedback on the tone appreciated. My playing is as rusted as an old Russian ship

Gear : EBMM JP6 2001 and Dunlop JazzIIIXL pick black

I think that your two rigs sound awsome man! I was thinking of having a day off the guitar, but now......

Sounds good to me, lovely and meaty tone.

It is because you havenot tried the 3rd I posted. Made for the ebmmJP6 !

Great tone! Not a big fan of Mesa Hi-Gain here, but with a bit of tweaking I've got a fantastic fusion solo tone, beefy and phatt! Thanks mate, you've made my my day!
