Thanks for posting Mats!!
that nails it. which delay and or reverb do you use?
Steven
Hi Steven,
Wow, you've already tried it. Very cool and I'm glad it works for you. If it makes as much difference to you having this sound as it does to me, I'm happy I could share.
Delay is tap delay with 39% mix, 14.1% feedback.
Reverb is Hall with 24% mix, +15 balance, 6.2 time and 7.0 damping.

Very nicely done Mats! Great tone, thanks for your tweak settings. What guitar is that?
Hi Gary,
Glad you like it. The guitar is a Collings City Limits.

Hi,
Mike and I have discussed what profile I used on "In No Time" that has been discussed here and elsewhere. We have found it to be the "Dumble N 3-2" which is included in Mike's Profile Pack 2.
My tweaks to the rig are as follows:
Graphc EQ in Stomp D with 80HZ = -6,6dB and 160Hz = -3,6. The rst is flat.
Gain = 6.1
Amp Definition = 6.9, Power Sagging = 2.1, Compressor = 1.2, Clarity = 2.9, Tube Shape = 3.3. The rest is at 0.
EQ: Bass = -3.2, Middle = +1,3, Treble = -0.8, Presence = -1.2
Cabinet: Low Shift = -0.7, Character: -3.0. The rest at 0.
The key to getting this sound right (as I hear it), is to work with the guitar volume and play the dynamics with your pick.
Here's the tune for reference:
I hope you'll enjoy it!

Was this slight or several led's? The reason I ask is that the gain control on the Kemper would be different than the amp unless they by happenstance follow the same gain structure. Since I am mostly interested in the Dumble/Dumble clones this is of interest to me. Thanks.
I'm not Mike but as I'm somewhat involved I'll chime in.
I went both ways with the gain on the Dumble profile I used for my tunes/clips and lowered the gain a bit for my Carlton style tune and increased a bit for the Robben Ford tune. Not by much. I'll try to find out.

Hi Gianfranco
Well obviously that is true but the Dumble amp has a OD and a Boost switch. If the boost switch is engaged you get a completely different tone cause it shuts down the Tone stack. It also gives more distortion. So It's a question of how THIS profile was made. With the boost on or off.
Yup, the ODS is a strange beast and quirky to boot.

I have a another question about the Dumble Profiles (sorry). When I listen to Mats Nermarks clips the sound comes a lot closer to the "not so distorted" Robben Ford/Larry Carlton tone. When I listen to Michaels clips they sound is a lot more distorted (saturated? Don't know if that's the right word). Is it the same profile? I do like Mats' tone a lot and I'm not that interested in a very distorted Dumble tone. I used to own a Ceritone but never got the tone I was looking for. I switched to Kemper and love it. I still haven't found a good Robben Ford tone. So I was looking forward to this. But not sure if this pack is for me.
Hi Steven,
I think I know what you mean and I think I got the rig fairly close to what that is. I'm not sure as I write, exactly which of Mike's profiles I used for that rig that I made the recording with but when my present recording project is done I will try to find out. If that profile is in Mike's Pack 2, then if Mike approves, I will post my tweaks here so you can get the sound I have.
Cheers,
Mats N
Mats, thanks for sharing your tune. The guitar sounded fantastic.
Hi Drog,
Thanks for the kind words!

Mats - is that his 3P Black Cln 1 profile? I can't find "Dreamweaver" listed in my pack from MBritt.
Thanks
Hi Gary,
Yes, that's correct.
Cheers,
Mats N
I really like this a lot
The melody is distinctive enough to be a TV Theme. Well played!
Thanks Paul! Always wanted to be on TV. Please forward any and all inquiries.

BTW, the clean Dumble profile I'm working on is taking unexpected turns. The profile was loaded when I truned på KPA on for a pop session with my Tyler and I knew I was going for an 80s style huge chord rhythm sound. I was going to select an altogether differen rig but felt at once that this profile was a perfect fit for the tune if I put some "shmo" on it. So I put my Tri Stereochorus emulation preset after the profile and some serious compression and eq in front and, voila, there it was. Funny as I always considered the Dumble ODS to be an amp for HB guitars.
I was so happy with that rig, I wanted to write a new tune with it. Working on the tune now. Dumble clean for rhythm and most probably Mike's Bletchley Bomber from his first pack for lead.

Display MoreLet's stay calm und humble
waiting for this profiled dumble
i am sure it's worth the wait
got to well ignore the bait
have to wait another day
if there is no other way
In a land far a way the die is cast
the pleasure prepared is vast
the fortunate one
who can wait til it's done
is sure to have a blast
I'm also waiting for the full pack!

Hi,
Got a new set of profiles for the Dumble + clone pack. There's one fat Fuchs and a very nice Robben Ford style OD from a Ceriatone OTS.
I also tweaked the Dumble a bit more for a really nice smooth jazz clean. Super dynamic and a joy to play.
Very busy now but as soon as I find time I will record something and post here.
Cheers,

Here is what he said:
"Regarding guitars I know I used a Collings City Limits for In No Time and I fairly sure I used the same one for 15 Years Later."
Thanks Paul. You saved me from repeating myself. 
Robman - Collings makes great guitars. I think they are one of the foremost caretakers and developers of the set-neck tradition.

Sounds fantastic mate, classy playing too!
Will be buying this one for sure! Cheers
Hi jpm,

Hi Mats
I listened carefully to the tracks you've recorded and as mentioned before the sound I hear on tracks 1 and 4 is really impressive as Larry Carlton looks like the late 80's.
Seems to be registered with 2 different guitars, in track 1 seems almost the same sound that Larry was out of the Valley Arts he used at that time, will be due to the way and maybe you'd use phrases that make it look like more "equal" Larry's sound . Congratulations again and I am really looking forward to having this package.
PS
Can you tell me what guitars did you use, just out of curiosity!
Hi Railit,
Thanks for lending your ears to this. I was indeed trying to get close to Larry Carlton's sound.

cheers guys, the strat fires up quite well with that profile. It's a maple neck too which adds a bit more bite. It took me about ten attempts at the solos to be happy with what I had as its a long piece and its hard not to be too repetitive but I'm happy with where I got to with it for now.
I'd be proud if I could play a solo like that. Stand tall!

Hi,
Since day one, I've been hunting clean rigs on the KPA that works with single coils. For chords and 80's cleans I've been successful but it's been impossible to find a good warm fat and articulate profile for a vintage type sound. Especially for single string playing.
Most clean profiles sound ”plinky” and weak, especially on the first two strings. If you try to tweak them for powerful thin strings they totally fart out on the 5th and 6th strings.
Then I started getting into Michael Britt's clean profiles and they delicer what I want. Articulate and warm without being flubby on the wound strings. So much fun to play and very touch dynamic. I just finished recording a new tune with a 3rd Power Dreamweaver Blackface profile from his first pack as I was so inspired.

Great work as always, Mats. Your vanWeelden profile is still after all those years (okay 2 years) my absolute number one rig.
I am abolutely looking forward to the result of this collaboration
Hi Geraldo,
Good to know my work is still valid. And thanks for the kind words!
