Yes Paults is right, it's definitellly a big hollowbody on this one, a classic rock'n roll tone on a big old fender or vox - do you have a variax ? There are a few models on it. A semi hollow might do it also , but the bigger the guitar is, the woodier tone you'll have. Try borrowing one !

I have a real Hollow-body in my collection , an enormous J6-S ( 80's Washburn great contruction & finish ) which is a a pleasure to play and they come for dirt cheap 2nd hand (450€). These guitars play all styles from warm jazz to rich clean , great crunches and dirty rock ala G. Thorogood or Ted Nudgent. You'll achieve the tones featured in the Utube song.

I had some troubles to find great rigs for it since it booms too much in the bass range, but I fount great rigs and some good tweaks if you ever need some.

here is one of my tune with the big beast

Yeah there is a cool talkbox FX in the last firmware. Check Paults experiments , he did a lot of cool FX stuff

I also did some experiments for a clavinet tone

all of these are available on Rig ex.

I'd love a Kemper pedal

There is also this great project regarding pedal modeling here, someone linked it a few days ago :

Might be the killer missing link in front of the KPA

Hello Sirius, thx for the profiling session , I installed the rigs on my RM and I'm very pleased with the cleans especially the Vox, you perfectly nailed the typical Vox jangle while profiling I did try with some of my favorites cabs as well and I also got fantastic results with them. Once again they are very tweak-able with lots of usable cleans and dirty rigs especially for single coils.

They are close to Pete's 1965 AC 30 in terms of tones (they are my favorite Vox profiles), so it looks like a great free alternative to me.

Don't you mind if I upload a few of my tweaks on the RIG ex. (probably with a free alternative cab) ? I might also make a demo clip.

thx again

Wow that's expensive, I doubt it can be used as a power amp, you cannot desactivate the cab sim or get a linear FR uncolored amp section ?

This is too bad since a linear amp and a full range speaker would have been great for the KPA

You should retry on another partition / disk / USB stick, maybe the one you use is full or unwritable ?

Hi & Welcome, KPA is a good choice and if you miss your AC30 you should try the one from Pete's profiles, this one is an amazing 1965 beast greatly profiled in all extents and fits most of my guitars.

DRX10/12 have good reputation here as well as the Atomic CLR.

Lots of us would love this , and lots of new kids could gain access to this fantastic technology.

I hope CK will get a similar device like the TI snow , a little desktop virus synth.

Yes a great song and great mix , superb work on the vocals & text (and I'm French

You should try the new beta, my backup went fine on Win7 64 bits : 1.3 Megas for around 2000 rigs.

Hi !

Here is a short one ready for bass & leads. I did use my les paul mainly on a JCM800 rig from my KPA (the great ultimate Marshall pack ) , it's a perfect amp for dirty cleans & crunch territory. I did only use one profile, tweaked in all extents (AFUM-JCM800 C1 X3) since the gain course is usable on the whole range.

That was fun and it's quite dance-able

Andy, this is one of my favorite marshall ever, I love the vintage tone you get out of the JCM800, but you can also crank it up to the best hard rock tones ever. A fantastic profiling session you did ...

No hassle for us: I assume you do not intend to sell them , then share them on the rig exchange.

If you have too many then do a rick pack and share it with a download link on the free rigs section, but It's still a very good idea to upload three of your best profiles on the RIG Ex.

Hello, let's explain a bit further :

You can copy all the rigs stored on your profiler to a subfolder of the rig manager. Once it's done, you can backup the whole content of the Rig manager with the tools menu (backup). This will allow to copy your backuped rigs to the KPA if you do a system reset on your KPA or if your erase all the rigs by mistake.

This is different from a KPA BACKUP (this internal backup procedure backups the KPA Kaos firmware , all your KPA settings and all your rigs).

Why would you backup your rig manager :

- if your computer crashes , you'll just have to restore your RM backup, without the hassle of downloading and gathering all your commercial and personal rig collection again.
- if you go to a KPA equipped studio or visit a friend, restore your backup on the studio's PC or mac and you're at home. Of course your friend must backup it's on RM before, all his rigs could be lost by restoring yours.
- if you switch from mac to PC or reinstall your system, just restore your RM and then the backup.
- if you have several computers in different places, you can synchronize the different RM to a similar level by restoring the same backup.

good practices :
- store the RM backup on another computer / USB stick than your main one
- do a RM backup on a regular basis and every time you spent lots of time arranging and sorting your Rig collection.

One can now backup the all content of the rig manager (Excluding the profiler), the feature is available in the upper menu.

Note that the backup excludes the content of the profiler itself, but you can copy the whole profiler content in a subdirectory in RM and then do a full backup.

great feature CK !

ok j'ai trouvé !

Wow, I'm sorry for you, you should start with just an SM57 and no preamp and try to get a good profile out of it. I had some great profiles from just my JTM30 and the 57 . Of course you amps should be dialed at their sweetest spots (often very loud !).

Also check the thread foolproof mic positioning over here

Excellent stuff came from the rig exchange, I agree with Don, the shadows from the past are incredible, I still play the davoli from time to times, it's an incredibly warm clean amp. I never had a chance to play the vintage fenders and older marshalls, I'm now in love with this kind of amp, as well as the AC30, incredible tones

I see my KPA as a time machine from 1940 era (oldest amp profiles available I think) to the modern boutique amps.

I bought a real JTM30 Marshall after trying the profiles ... and making my own profiles then ...

I regret not buying an evil robot amp after trying the great profiles from Andy and discovering they were produced on a very limited quantity and then discontinued ... They will probably become collector amps.

I also discovered another tone monster , the Wizard from Pete, versatile and huge tones from this beast :o

They are also lots of cool stuff from M Britt, and Michael Wagener with some exotic stuff ( metropolis, /13 ...)

Too many good stuff and each other is killer in it's own voicing , what a dream for a guitarist

Yes impressive prod !!! The highly produced vocal parts are great. The folk tone on the 2nd one is really beautiful (twelve strings ?) , as well a s the fantastic drum parts... The guitars are huge enough but not too much in front of the mix, I appreciate. The writing is complex too, as the song evolves and never gets boring.

Thx for posting, I dig the vocals too and the crunch guitars tones. did you record the backgrounds (organ ? trems ?) on the KPA ?

Thx a lot for this profiles, I've been testing the clean and leads on the only guitar I got ATM ( Ibanez artist hollowbody) , I love the clean , superb job on this profiling session. This clean one is perfect for vintage , blues , funk & dirty tones, with a lil bit of gain.

Please upload them on the rig exchange or do a zip pack, they are really worth it.
