Here's another reason...

I was just messing with some Merged profiles, when I setup the Merged profiles I used my CLR FRFR monitor and added a highpass/lowpass filter in the X slot to dial it in because ultimately the most important sound is what comes out of the mains. But when I disabled the cab in the monitor output to feed my 112 guitar cab on stage the highpass/lowpass filter was still affecting the signal going to my guitar cab which kind of messed things up. If we had a highpass/lowpass filter built into the cab slot it would work perfectly in this case because it wouldn't affect the signal going to the guitar cab if the cab is disabled in the monitor output.

Here's hoping the Kemper team hears our request for this feature

Hey, that's kind of cool that one of my profiles was included

Quote from dpeters95

Thank you for these!

BTW, the link for the "Avatar 212 M75 IR.wav" appears to be broken.

The cab IR is in the same folder as the profiles, but here is a direct link if anyone just wants the IR: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y8etfpqejm52hap/Avatar 212 M75 IR.wav?dl=0

So do you think if I did some DI profiles with all my boosts and OD's they would work well as merged profiles with the cabs from these profiles?

For the most accurate merged profiles you need to make the Studio and DA profiles during the same profiling session with the exact same settings, that being said, I think you should give it a try, I bet you will come up with some nice profiles.

HAWP-53 profiles are up.
These are profiles of the Friedman Dirty Shirley into an Avatar Vintage 212 cab with a Celestion V30 and Scumback M75, the M75 was mic'd.
The mic's were a Shure SM57 and Royer R121.
The Dirty Shirley is not a high gain amp, but if you are into classic rock or blues you might find these useful.
These are all Merged profiles, I still have the Studio and DA profile if anyone wants them.
I also included a cab IR in WAV format for anyone who wants to try the cab with a modeler.
I've really been enjoying these profiles in my jam room using a CLR cab, please let me know what you think.
The files are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fj1…JeWAvfWdCVwziRfT6dYa?dl=0

I finally got a chance to check out these profiles and wow, there are some real jewels in there. Nicely done, thank you so much for sharing these, looking forward to your next profiling session

Has anyone every tried ChapStick? I put a little on the strings where they sit in the nut and it fixed my problem.

As we're talking about celebs settings...
Tim would you try these settings and perhaps make a DI profile someday?

BTW It's from Richie Sambora's stage setup a few years ago.

I'd be happy to make some profiles but I can't make out the settings on the amp. If you can figure out the Pres, Bass, Mid, Treb, Gain and Master Volume I can sure give it a go. But remember that there are several option switches on this amp too including Voice, FAT, C45 and SAT, these switches make a big difference in the tone especially if you use two or more at once.

Hi Tim,

I was wondering if there might be any chance that you could, someday, make a few profiles of your BE100 (or Dirty Shirley) with a DOD-250 pedal in front. I am a big Yngwie fan (especially his Alcatrazz and early solo tone), and have not been able to find a Marshall Plexi-type profile that has been boosted by a DOD-250 Overdrive. The BE-100 or DS would be an ideal substitute for a vintage 1970s Marshall model 1959 (or 1987) JMP MkII. I am looking for that singing Yngwie lead tone with excellent mid-range bite. He pretty much had his NMV Marshalls running flat out. The settings on his DOD-250 pedal typically were: Gain = 90%, Level = 100%.

If you don't have a DOD-250 (the re-release gold fleck version by DOD is excellent), I would be happy to loan you my AnalogMan modded YJM-308, which has been converted to vintage DOD-250 specs.

I hate to be a profile begger...but I can't find anyone who has done the quintessential Malmsteen "DOD-250 into a Marshall Super Lead Plexi-type amp" profile.

Cheers,
John

I'd be happy to make some profiles but the only distortion pedal I have is a Keeley mod'd Boss DS1. But it looks like sambrox might have a great solution for you.

great thread!
sticky'ed

Wow, what an honor, I've never been sticky'ed

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this project. After being distracted with other projects for a while I finally got to work on some Dirty Shirley profiles last night, hopefully I'll have something worth sharing soon.

Wow, that was awesome! But like they say, tone is in the fingers

Wow

Yep, you're right about the manual of course. But it must be a kind of leftover it seems...

To be more accurate I should have actually written that the Effects section is not entirely located after the Cabinet section. I'll edit my post for a greater clearness

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I am surprised that the manual is misleading about this. All the more reason to ask them to include a lowpass and highpass filter after the cab.

Quote from viabcroce

Incidentally, the Effect section is not located after the cab although the Profiler's physical layout might induce to think otherwise.

Are you sure? The manual says "Effects: Here, you can add more built-in effects to the signal, after it has passed through the amplifier and virtual cabinet".
Am I missing something???

This would be a great improvement

Correct, leaving the DI connected to the amp shouldn't affect the sound of the studio profiles.

Quote from JerEvil

I am thinking I'll make each DI right after making the Studio version. If I'm right in my thinking, I only need to select the "no cabinet" button and profile again, right?

For me, the latest firmware has been really good about automatically detecting that there is no cab. Simply make the profile as usual and after it's done you should see the cab light is not on telling you that it made a DA profile automatically. Of course you could select "no cabinet" just to be on the safe side.

I've had good luck with the Avatar Vintage 112, I have it loaded with a Scumback M75, it's really light, easy to haul around and it sounds great. They are reasonably priced and the customer service has been great.

Thanks but no joy, I went through the alignment procedure again just to make sure and it didn't help. To clarify, the volume pedal works fine once I move it, it's only when I first power up the KPA that the KPA thinks the pedal is in the heal down position, once I simply move the pedal it starts working fine. It has got me a couple of times, I have the volume pedal before that amp so I can control the gain somewhat, I power everything up and start playing and think "this preset should have more gain" so I select a profile with more gain, and then I realize that I haven't move the pedal since I powered up the KPA, so I move the pedal and bam, there is my gain. Has no one else had this problem? I'm sure it's something simple that I am missing but I just can't find it

After I updated the firmware the KPA forgot the settings for the expression pedals, I was expecting this because the release notes said it would. I got them working again but for some reason when I first power the KPA on it thinks that the volume pedal is in the heal down position when it's not, if I simply move the volume pedal it returns to normal operation. I seem to remember that there is a setting to fix this but I can't find it. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? Thx
