okay don't download it people. That brings up an interesting point though...It was in the rig exchange, I added a IR cab and tweaked it...so at what point do you call it your own? We had this same problem with synthesizer patches years back...you take a factory preset, modify it and share it...nobody ever thought anything about it. Im not selling or even putting my name on it.

I took the model and added my own IR cab, and tweaked the sound a bit.
-
Oops it was my modified patch of his...tell me how to get it out of my kemper and I will share it with you
-

I think its out of the Rig Exchange. I will show you my favorite patch of all... If you don't mind my crappy playin.
-
Sorry I gave the wrong patch... it was actually P-Tone 145 by B. Ruppert
He did have a pitch effect on the original with a delay. It was perfectly Bare this time.
-
Okay you guys are geniuses! Sooooo much better. I made sure I used (non/TRS cables. I zeroed out any gain reduction. Besides some intonation issues (my fault) It sounds much better. No effects this time...it seems I didn't have them all off last time.
-
okay i will do a new distortion track with the suggestions you all generously provided.
-
I spent no time recording it...fired it up and played those two simple tracks. If I don't those negative values the input clips, the output also clips. Its gain staged to match my style. Yes I use TRS plugs.
I hadn't tried flipping the polarity GREAT IDEA for sure. So there is probably some phase cancelation going on which makes sense. I used the raw patches so they might have some effects on them (most likely a light reverb, and MBritt usually adds a touch, but nothing else.
I could do without the slamming of my abilities...I'm a humble man asking for help from others.
I will gain stage it based on your suggestions. Thank you.

AdamMassacre1981 Yeah Im thinking about that too. This is my last ditch effort. Im getting great tones out of the plugins, but I can't use them while I have a $2000 Green Monster staring at me. It just might be time for me to sell. PS...try Scuffman plugins...you wont believe the distorted tone.
-
unclemar thanks for sharing...awesome stuff! You are using mostly clean"ish" tones which aren't really a problem...its the distorted tones that are my issue.
BTW: love the early David Lee Roth vocal vibe!
-
I have to be missing something for sure. The clean sounds are always great, but the distortion is always about the same no matter the patch. And I'm not sure why I got those weird cutouts...thats new to me.

As requested here are two simple tracks.
Clean: Guitar EVH Wolfgang - EVH strings 46-9 - EVH neck pickup - Patch: MB Plexi Clean

Distortion: EVH Wolfgang - EVH strings 46-9 - EVH bridge pickup - Patch: MB Plexi 9
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iiff…o%2001%20%28R%29.wav?dl=0
I have no problems with the clean tone...I think it is fantastic.
The distortion track is a hot mess...No lows, Fizzing out the top end, total lack of definition.
EVH Wolfgang - EVH strings 46-9 - EVH neck pickup - Patch: MB Plexi Clean

I use the rear master outs (1/4") Output source is set to Master out...I tried the others as well.
What are studio profiles? I use Michael Britts profiles most of the time.
-
Tried that...my 5150III sounded terrible...all that lush beautiful gain turned into a fuzz fest. I use MBritt profiles exclusively, he does a hell of a lot better than I do at profiling and getting the sound right.
I live in a townhouse...and the first time I profiled that amp I nearly soiled myself...I thought for sure aliens were coming to get me. I actually recorded the sounds made during the profile session and I have used parts of them in several tracks, low in the mix of course.

I'm Ron. I am a sound engineer and session guy.
I've had my profiler for over a year now and wrestled with recording this unit every step of the way...and yes I RTFM
I don't get it...the sound in my daw I get from a kemper is thin, fizzy (Hi gain profiles) and needs a whole lot of eqing it to get it to sound like an amp.
For me it takes a seven band parametric eq to get the sound I demand. Yet I can plug my guitar in to a interface right to the daw and use BIAS, Guitar Rig 5, Amplitube 5 and get a tone that is much richer, wider, fuller etc. I don't buy all this "but its designed to sit in the mix", and it's not moving air bs. The plug-in guys seem to have got it right. Just give me everything and I will make it sit in the mix right, I hate when companies make decisions based on what they think we need. This is a $2000+ unit, and I always end up double tracking with a plugin. They taut a tube feeling...seriously...I have 3 tube amps they react to every little touch...all I get with the Kemper is like round robin sampling...it sounds the same nearly at all velocities. It took me ages to finally detect the fizz, and dynamically compress the 2 frequencies resposible...because if you use an eq you lose any thickness you might have managed to squeeze out of the tone. Don't you dare tell me about their 3 band output eq. They are much too wide banded to make a positive difference.
So if your still with me (and finished plotting my death) I give up...what are the correct settings that people are using to record these things? My signal chain is balanced perfect (why a company needs to put an option for - 12db padding on the output...sheesh) I do use -18 on the input signal and I took clean and distortion sensitivity to - 5db. My input is the front input. On all profiles I have eq cabinet, amplifier and stack on. I don't tweak any eq settings no matter how bad the sound is. my main volume out is set to -12db which keeps the signal received in my daw at a nice safe level. I am using the main outputs into my interfaces at 16bit/48k. I have the monitor cab off setting checked (seriously a double negative name????) for my main output I use Master Stereo.
So you people that obviously figured out the magic sauce, could I beg you for pointers on why I can't get a good sound like you guys do?
I appreciate any suggestions,
Ron

How do we switch cabs? Also on Mac Load Impulse Response option is greyed out.
But this editor is top notch!!!!!
Thank you Kemper

Okay thank you.
