1960 Fender Concert Kemper clip

https://soundcloud.com/okstrat/kemper-concert-profiles

I profiled this amp last year, thought I'd see if I could do better and capture the dynamics and more detail. I think I did it pretty well. Clip has amp clean, a little dirty and with a stock TS9 pushing it while being profiled. Used an Eric Johnson sig strat with a JB jr humbucker in the bridge. I'm pretty happy, but my real proof will be once I record with it and a backing and try it live. It has that woody sound of the cab and the dynamic whack that fenders have, if you know what I mean. Anyways, whattaya think?

Wow. That sounds wonderful both the profile, and the way you are playing the amp- exploiting its sensitivity and range. My old Deluxe Reverb responds like that, too, but I haven't tried to profile it, yet.

How did you mic this, this time?

thanks! Heil PR20 in front about 3" out, and then about 9" behind the cab, a MXL ribbon mic. Ribbon mic went to a focusrite ISA One preamp, both went to a mixer and then the Kemper. I also refined them a little differently than I had in the past too - not only did I play different chords, but I also played them as hard as I could and as softly as i could, to see if that might help dynamics. Most of my profiles have been made of amps with 4x12s, using this open back 4x10 cab certainly has a different feel to it. Not my first choice for everything, but it gives you a few more options for sure.

I need to try the Heil on a 4x12, it seems to have all the punch and dynamics of the SM57 without the nasal mids.
