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.
Let'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
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.
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. 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.
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!
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.

love the sounds and was pleasantly surprised by the clean tone .......ready to launch ?
Hi Robman!
I've been on the lookout for a full and warm clean sound like this for a while. This clean sound was actually tweaked from a more pushed gritty sound. I'm still tweaking it to have a bit more bounce in the playing feel and now when these first clips are out I will spend some more time tweaking it.
Well those clips sound pretty convincing to me. Great playing! I think this was the only thing lacking with the Kemper. Pretty awsome. And allthough I don't own the M Britt pack. I do think his sounds are realy good so.....Excelent news. I do agree with Paco. I like the Celestions more also.
Thanks for the comment on my playing!
Regarding these Celestions, do you guys have any special cab with Celestions you like that I should try it with?
What speaker did he use? It sounds like Larry Carlton.
I like them a lot except the Robben Ford one. Robben Ford uses old Celestion G12 65, while Larry Carlton uses the Electro-Voice EVM12L
Hi!
I don't know what he used but if you think my clip sounds like LC then I'm truly flattered. The Robben Ford clip can be changed with some post eq and if I put my guitar tone on 10. Then it gets more like Ford. But then there's always the possibility to change cabs as Paul said. Haven't gotten to that part yet as I'm sooooo very happy with this one.
OK, so I got some clips recorded. All reverb and delays were added in the mix.
First up is a track a put together as I wanted to show the dynamics of the rig. All was recorded using the same settings. I just used picking dynamics and guitar volume and tone controls to change gain and tone character. Wonderful to play.

Second is a jazz ballad to show a clean warm sound.

Then again a clean sound and somewhat faster jazz piece. Old tune that I just put a new solo over.

Back to dynamic overdrive. This is an old tune that I just wanted to play over so that's what you get.

And finally the track I hardly dare post. A solo over Robben Ford's Communicate With Female Offspring. I know I'm not Robben Ford and my playing is vastly inferior so Mr Ford's somhow simultanously sophisticated and raw phrasing. But I've received many requests for this so take it for what it is. BTW, it's exctly the same settings as for the first track In No Time but with the guitar volume control dimed.
