Michael, many thanks for your replay ...
I guess it has to do with the guitar and the guitar player then ...
I also play with a guitar with a capacitor to not loose high freq. content when the volume is down but I guess you just play better than me
I'm gonna be checking out the anderson guitars as well... I also have to roll off the bass in every profile ...
Anyways, thanks for the answer and the great work.
Cheers
Ale
jboogie13 - Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Let me know how it works out in rehearsal as well.
sonopibe - Thank you as well. I'm glad you're liking the Dumble pack. Regarding the Dumble ODS F7, I have my clean sense and distortion sense set at 0.0 dB. The Anderson guitar I use for the recordings is a Cobra (les paul scale) with 3 Duncan Antiquity P90's. Anderson does put a resistor/capacitor on the volume pot so it doesn't lose high end when you turn the volume down. I don't know if that would cause the different sound when turning the volume knob down, but it's definitely possible. When I record the clips for the site, I don't do any eq-ing or dynamics in ProTools, just straight into the interface (Propellerhead Balance) and all I do is set the record level. I re-store the rig after recording clip and that is what I put in the package. I can't think of any other tricks other than just different players. Other guitarists may not sound the same as me and it may have to do with how hard/soft I pick? I'm not sure. I use a heavy pick but I don't pluck that hard most of the time. I feel it yields more dynamics and I can pick harder for effect. I do know that Anderson is a pretty special guitar. I've been trying to get a backup for it and it's hard to find one that sounds as good, even with similar pickups.
And on a different note, I was in the studio with Lonestar yesterday recording some new tracks. I've done spec and demo project recording at home since I've had the KPA but I haven't done a full-on session using it at a big studio until yesterday. We tracked at the historic Oceanway Studio in Nashville and I brought in both the Kemper and a few heads and cabs so I could have options in case the KPA wasn't knocking the socks off of the engineer. I got there a little early and checked levels and sounds a bit and the engineer thought they were comparable enough to try the Kemper so when we cut the first song, I used my Vox AC30 B3 profile and I thought it sounded great. When we listened back in the control on the best take, it sounded awesome. I ended up using the KPA on all four songs, 2 with the Vox rig, 1 with the Dumble Cln and 1 with my 72 Marshall Tim profile. We track with a second guitar player (big league studio player) and he was extremely impressed by the tones I was getting and saying he needs to get a Kemper. I was a little nervous going in because the KPA is still kinda new to Nashville and wasn't sure how readily accepted it was going to be, but I think it turned out great and I'm glad that the tones stood up in that environment. I'm going to be doing the guitar overdubs and solos with it at home as well. It sure simplified things and I moved all that other heavy gear for nothing. Ha.
