Btw, the music in the intro graphics for Foxglove Studios was also the Kemper, same 69 Marshall Profile with gain turned down a little.
How about the tone at 3:00 on the video when the lead on the Wine Red LP Custom comes in, that tone freaked my mind out, it has that glassy mid Dumble tone, even though it's a 69 Marshall.
Lot's of hard hours went into this "in the studio" video demo.
Took a Kemper into a friends studio, he's a guitarist, engineer, producer, and video producer/editor, etc, etc.
Anyway he's a Les Paul into Marshall man, that's his tone, been micing Marshalls in his studio for 20 odd years...but he doesn't like spending hours looking for tones, he wants a sweet Marshall tone quick and just wants to get on with recording.
So I was a bit worried because I thought I'd be going through a hundred Profiles looking for the one that made him smile, took less than a minute and I landed up on Michael Britt's 69 Marshall 50 using the Tokais being demoed in the video....he smiled and said that's it I love it, and that one Profile was used on the entire session.
There's also a clean rhythm guitar playing through the track, that's Michael's Princeton Reverb Profile.
Some friends of mine also played on the session, Larry Rose on drums and Dave Sharp on Hammond C3, we mic'd the Hammond's Leslie with two SM57s.
My good friend Peter Hanmer is the studio owner, so of course he composed the song, played guitars and bass, plus produced all the graphics, the video, etc, etc.
Please, don't watch this on a smartphone, the bigger the screen the better and it deserves a good audio system....play loud!

sounds great. which profile is it? is it from the free MBritt kemper-pack? did you change anything or is it stock?
Not sure if it's on Michael's free pack, the Kemper I used is from a studio who's owner buys all Michael's pack, I think this is from the M.Britt Mini Pack 69.
Turned down the gain a little and added a little presence, that's it.

My latest is actually a 2006 Tokai SC-2 60th Anniversary model no more in production.
Actually, it's been lying in my storage cupboard for a few years, I kind of forgot abbout it but restored it to it's original beauty with a good polish and now it's my favorite guitar.
I've been begging Tokai to re issue this model for a few years now, but no luck so far, hopefully they start producing it again soon.
Pretty sure the OP is talking about string slot depth. I know a lot of players, who do not care too much or don't want to mess with it. Guitarists seem to accept quite a lot. I always hear: "It was perfect out of the box bla bla..." Really? So why do the saddle screws on your custom shop strat are sticking out?
Easy fix with shorter screws - nothing should stick out! But look around: People accept it.
(Almost) every Gibson neck without binding has sharp fret ends. "Never noticed that on my Studio, Flying V, Explorer...bla bla". After a decent fret job the same people are suprised how smooth they can fiddle up and down the neck now There are many other "shortcomings" to talk about (saddle notches on tune-o-matic bridge...). Expensive guitars are often missing love to details too. What does surprise me: Often guitars with a really good setup and standard are produced in Indonesia ...or the headstock says Japan. They seem to have very skilled workers and better quality control?
But I do not take me out, spending money on more expensive "made in the US guitars" for example (often asian and mexican workers here too) like Gibson, Musicman ... and accept some flaws (due to lacking quality control?) and the need to setup and upgrade myself.

Well said.
I love the one about how the G string always goes out of tune on a LP, bla bla. Well, about 690 Tokai LPs later since 2009 and never a G string going out of tune as long as the nut slots are correctly filed.
