I agree with the concept, but only in a technical way , this is an engineering approach to me, far from the way I test new profiles : mainly on the feeling & the way the guitar interacts with it (dynamics, warmth, vol pot response, gain range ...).
Anyway that shouldn't be a major issue for profilers to give a DI sample.
The differences come from a great variety of factors, but mostly the guitars themselves and the players hands. There can even be huge differences betweens two similar guitars, woods , pickups all that matters a lot in the final tone. Don't expect a HSS with Emgs sound like a p90 telecaster 
I personally won't test a tone with a DI file, I'll just swap the guitar, or switch from HB to single coil on my main guitar's coil tap.
yeah the one by Hell-G are killer ones , also try them with the free cabs from M Wagener. What a badass amp 
Yeah ! Pas mal du tout pour un noob
La vidéo est particulièrement pédagogique en plus, et ça manque pas de mimiques hein !
Hi, I think it's best to use the host's guitar since he probably tailored his tone starting from a specific guitar. Carrying a 'generic' guitar with splittable pickups would be nice just for testing purpose once the profiles are made (That Ibanez
I"ve not enough miking experience, but you should start profiling at home and know your mikes and their best usage regarding position , space , tones ... until you got a good practice with them.
Maybe wou'll need a little mixer to mike with several mikes at once & some monitoring headphones (+ obvious stuff like mike stands and xlr cables)
Good luck on your profiling journey and keep us informed, don't forget to get a camera and take some pics !
Great solution Ben ! Let us hear some clips of this stoner Chris Isaak
Ah sad story , it's time to write your own stuff mate !
I had the luck to hear the sample, perfectly interpreted, but it think it missed the philthy tone from the original recording, it was way too clean, it's hard to get such a dirty tone on the KPA.
Very cool , we don't see & hear enough telecasters here, killer tone you got
Since we have a KPA, we're not interested in boobs anymore
Thx a lot , I'm gonna try a microkorg XL+ since it has velocity and all the tones and arp. I'm looking for . Let's hear that Vsynth too, but it's a big one.
Yuck !! No way thx
I'm looking for something real, straight to my KPA
The best candidate so far is the MicroKorg XL
can anyone recommend a good all around synth ?
So far I've been using a monotron duo with great succes on my KPA, I need to go further
here are the specs I look after :
must be plug & play ( I'll hook it to my KPA)
does not need a real hammering keys but velocity-sensitivity is mandatory
does have : some great Hammond and Rhodes tones, some prophet and moog like tones
some strings & warm pads , and some general midi stuff
may have some direct (knobs) basic tone sculpting : cut off / resonance ... for synth sound editing
includes an arpeggiator
It's not supposed to be played live but in my home studio
Can be 2nd hand or new - My budget is low (<750 €/$), I'll probably sell one of my guitars.
Wow they are really innovative at EH & Bill is to talented :o
Not totally convinced by the rhodes & wurli tones, some percusive components seems all right but I still hear the guitar attack & decay in these demos (I known I'm a bit touchy but I own a real suitcase fender rhodes from the 70's, with all it's imperfections). I don't like the fact that they could update the other C9 organ pedal with these researches instead of selling them as another pedal and GASing us with these wonderful toys...
Reminder : Bill Ruppert did also some great Rhodes and other FXs in our beloved KPA, that are not so far from these tones. They do not track as well as this pedal, but the tones are close.
no pb mate, there are so many good plexi profile out there I'm sure you'll find happiness soon. I agree with Eddie's tone being much better on the 1st albums. You should also try the lead booster pedals , it's great for soloing.
ahaha good story, I have to agree, same story for every guitar hero, give Hendrix a squier and a pignose and he would have some awesome tones out of it.
I force myself to play on a crappy solid state amp with no pedals at my jazz club rehersals, just to improve my skills , guitar vol & tone control, like the guitar noob I was 20 years ago. This will also help me to survive into any guitar survival situation and improvised jam anywhere i go.
Go on with any mid/high gain amp , tweaked gain , mids treble , definitiion and clarity tweaks and don't be afraid to experiment.
except the fancy gear on the back and the beautiful floor & design, I've got the same setup at home : HS7 yamaha monitors, quad capture and my KPA , minus the engineering skills of course , lol
have fun and let us hear the results !
this is when hooking the pedals to the kemper, i guess, right? since I'm using the exp pedals in my pedalboard it won't apply. right?
yes , I'm using the controller straight to KPA.
yes cool & crazy FX
just search for " D'Lux Dirty Sunny Ca " as the name of the rig was truncated by the Rig ex
definitely cool , works better than lots of commercial and free profiles :o
Just try removing the green dist and listen to your cab alone and put it on again...
