The Musicman Stingray Guitar is still my "new" guitar

I always talked about "correcting" the compensated nuts on Musicman guitars - don't want to explicate again why Musicman nuts don't work (and the Earvana is not perfect too, but much better...).

But here are some photos of the beauty and some close-ups, where you can see the different "offsets" of a corrected nut (to my needs), compared to an original Musicman nut blank.

I have also changed the Schaller M6_IND 16:1 Locking Tuners to Schaller M6 135 18:1 Locking Tuners (like Musicman uses on BFR models for example).

There was an issue that has been recently fixed. When disabling a kemper cab there was a driver that was still running that was not supposed to.

Kemper with a disabled cab into external IR loader was not the same as converted IR loaded into the same kemper profile. The driver in the first instance changed the frequency response. This info was posted by CK in Bommels post about IRs. Of course my memory is shit and I could be completely wrong though

I think you are completely wrong There was a bug, using only the cab section with the amp section turned off, the amp section still bleeded in.

The problem with Rig Exchange voting is not "personal preference" or something. If someone uploads a direct amp profile of - lets say - a perfectly well captured transistor amp, that really sounds 98% close to the original. Than it gets a 1 star rating, because some people who just don't get it, don't like the sound of that particular transistor amp! Or in the case of Bommel - people who never listened to isolated (miced) guitar tones downrate a rig and gave 1 star, because to them "it sounds strange" or something! It does not make ANY sense to rate profiles that way. In addition there were obviously 1 star ratings placed with purpose to harm for example sellers that share free (and professional) profiles. The rig exchange rating is totally wortless and useless. Just my opinion.

What power amp (tubes) and cab/speaker were used, while capturing the profiles?

No problem. I have a lot of fun with the Jupiter direct amp profiles!! It's cool to have this amp "back" now as Kemper profiles. I also have fun with the Sunn Beta... and many other profiles from you. Thanks for all of that!

Hi! thanks

yup "c2" = channel2

"g" = gain on 7

"bst" = channel 2 with the boost switch on

and "cab" is simply a studio profile with a cab as a preview i used a selfmade IR on my torpedo live there

you can use the cab of these "cab" profiles with the d.i. profiles then. I do that just because the cab is so important for the sound and

offering no cab to d.i. profiles is a bit disappointing maybe for some people that have no good cabs yet ...

yeah i alway set the setting in the amp section while making the profile to get closer to the original and that makes a lot of a difference imo

Thanks for the information!

But the "cab" profiles on the Jupiter do not have a cabinet? Maybe the cabinet is baked in, but it shows N/A, the cabinet button is deactivated and does not contain any cab?

Quote from Bommel

hey yes these are new there is a "old" folder too these were the ones i made years before. but now i made them d.i. and way more settings and stuff they turned out way nicer, i must say if i got the choice i always go d.i. but the first jupiter profiles were before d.i. was possible

I have now tested the Jupiter profiles (through a Hotone Loudster into a 1x12 cab with CelestionV-Type Speaker): Sounds very good and familiar to what I remember the original amps gain structure!

"C2G7" does mean Channel 2 with gain on 7, right? But what does the "CAB" in the naming of the rigs mean? Or BST7?

Did you adjust Tube Shape, Tube Bias, Power Sagging simple to your taste or as finetuning to get closer to what the orignal amp sound?

MY try to capture the sound of the Koch Jupiter have fun with it! this time

Are these new profiles? I remember you already had done some Koch rigs in the past, right? The Koch Jupiter is a quite unique amp. I loved and hated it for several reasons and it had to go. But sometimes now I really miss it. Cool that there are some (new?) profiles available Thank you!

Thanks for pointing that out. I had missed that article.

So if i’ve understood the fix correctly, the sound of amp=off+cab=on will sound different in the new firmware than previous firmware. Interesting as occasionally i use the kpa for “re-cabbing” (using just the cab processing alone with amp section bypassed) how much sonic difference this makes i’ve yet to find out as im still on 5.2 fw

If anyone can comment on the audible difference concerned it would be appreciated.

I wanted to use real preamps in 2 cases:

1. Real preamp - Kemper power amp profile - Kemper cab

2. Real preamp - Kemper amp section off - Kemper cab

In the second case the result does / did not sound "right" to me and did sound noticeable different, depending of the used profile (amp part). Even if the amp part was "off", changing the amp part did change the sound. I think most people didn't notice it, because the cab part does the most colouring and they did not change the amp part - so they thought it is the sound of the cab only, what they are hearing. But there was the amp part bleeding in even though it was turned "off".

I have found the error. Here you can read a statement of Mr. Kemper:

Bug in the Kemper cab / stack section

Thank you

mickrich I have send you a mail, but no answer yet. The question was:

Have some of your Kemper packs been updated? In the description of - for example - the Mark V pack, there should be 11 cabs, but I can see only 7 cabs in my pack? There is no Orange cab for example.

...

Thansk for the update and thanks for providing a date (on which the pack was updated) in the download files. This helps a lot!

I guess, what I don’t understand is, how could there be a problem with the amp portion of a merged profile, as in theory it shouldn’t matter and should be fine with an IR? The problem would lie within the cabinet section. And a dIrect amp profile/amp portion of a merged profile should have nothing to do with it, as it is the “cleanest” part of the profile, no? Yes

When capturing direct amp profiles, the connected cab / speakers / impedance has an influence to the sound of the amp part. That is why Kemper does not recommend using a speaker load - it does not give the best (authentic) result.

So in "theory" we now have direct amp profiles that have the flavour of the used cab (interaction) baked in to a certain degree. If you now use another cab part or IR it is not a "perfect" fit anymore.

...Wow, that is really an old pack ...

That explains why it does sound so good - "vintage" rigs

And wow, the Dizl Herbi pack is tight AND ballsy ...wtf?!... exceptional profiles!

I just noticed that I have missed the last 3 packs - so I bought them today

While waiting for Ivan sending me the new packs I found a KILLER profile in the Peavey 6534+ pack: CiliLab_6534+_17 rig with Randall cab is awesome

Can you please add http://www.mattfig.com? Thanks!

You are already on the list under "Motor City Mods". But maybe something like "Mattfig Profiles" is named better?!

And it's more than rare, that a singer gives so much free space to other band members on his solo records (sharing the vocal duties with the growling drummer). Some really catchy tunes on these albums!

nakedzen "Static Impulse" album is great too! Through his solo works I have gained a completely different impression than I had before. And the vocals sit perfect in the mix - that is not the case on every Dream Theater album.

Because of Marco Sfogli I bought a 7 string guitar - I really like his playing on the albums!

I try to explain this to my wife since 4 years

But it's sooo muuuch easier to "smuggle in" new profile packs secretly than guitars in big cartons
