Please.. I will say this now. and I will shout it if I have too.. - PLEASE use the TONE/Colume controls on the guitar. this is what this amp was designed around. especially the tone control.. it change everything!. and lets you control how you want it to sound.

Its a great amp for many things, I especially prefer the Breakup/Cranked. - the Full profiles were the amp dimed, great for that trashy indi sort of stuff I have to say!.

Merry Xmas, and wishing you ALL the best for the season and new year.

(P.S) this was created using the latest FW, but this is a solid release. (no bugs in this set)

Andy

P.S Audio Clips/Videos will be coming soon, Its xmas, so the rush was on to get it out before..stay tuned.
In the mean time you can enjoy the free demos instead.

I tried to get the free profile and under Purchase History it says: "No downloadable files found."

This message is also there for previously purchased: Modern Players Pack 5 & Boutique Pack 6.

Yup Fixed now - of course would help if I actually uploaded the demo file!

db9091 · December 22, 2014 at 2:34 PM

You may be forgiven soon. I gotta try the profile. Be right back....

If anyone's wondering how on earth I'm testing profiles on a friggin' Monday morning, it's because I'm on Christmas Vacation.

Ok, Andy, the clean is great as always. The Breakup, which is where I like my gain, is crunchy. Here is what struck me:

I've played a lot of Dr. Z amps since Fat Sounds was a seller before they closed, and loved their crisp, transparent, but lovely tones. Never harsh or brittle.

This is Spot On Dr. Z, great capture! This is not what I'd call VOXy at all, but a Dr. Z signature tone that I love.

Cybertwin68 · December 22, 2014 at 2:55 PM

Have to say guys, these are some of the best profiles for low to medium gain I have played, just stunning

I'm sure my porter is on his way. But you know, transatlantic voyages take time!

Thanks DB.. THe thing that scares me is this Dr.Z really needs the players input.. to get the best out of it..

Here is what i recommend (if yoru new to these types of amps/or using the guitar to sculpt the sound)

For a Tele, For that "Twang" use a Bridge pup, SC is best, and use the volume just below max. use the tone control until the compression stops (the hi/freq compression). play with the volume as much as you like, roll up for Lead , and roll down for mellow stuff and more dynamics

Strat, in the hand of paisley, and his words he quotes "Strat, Never use the bridge pickup it never works for me, the heart is the 2nd position" And I agree fully. the Dr.Z on this setting on my strat using the Volume is simply breathtaking.

LesdPAul/Humbucker guitars - You will have a lot mroe gain than the amp can cope with.. so again use the Volume/tone to control..

Its all about that... I cant stress that enough
And I cant stop playing this amp..really.

This is BEYOND frustrating....having the exact same problems importing as I was with the AC30 bundle, unreal. What is going on here? I have had my kemper for going on 3 years now, never had a problem importing rigs. Ive tried every combination to get these to load, and can not. I've imported tons of other rigs to make sure it's not a problem with my kemper, and no problems whatsoever.....Extremely frustrating.

Unzip the rigs then copy/paste in the folder of your choice in Rig Manager.

Cybertwin68 · December 22, 2014 at 7:15 PM

Mmmmm had no problems here and loaded them numerous times, weird

and44 · December 22, 2014 at 7:21 PM

They are importing all fine in my Kempers here via USB.. There is a few things we can try though. so Ive send you a PM.

Robman · December 23, 2014 at 12:31 PM

Just bought them ....WOW they sound GREAT ! Well done Andy !!!!!

One question ...Maybe its just me but is the overall level of the cleans quite low ?

db9091 · December 23, 2014 at 2:24 PM

No problem importing via USB memory stick whatsoever.

VESmedic, backup your USB stick, and reformat it in the Kemper. Try to load these profiles in your Shared folder before putting everything back onto the stick. I suspect that these things get corrupted over time and need refreshing. Have done it twice in 2 years.

Now I have no problems, and with the recent Firmwares, profiles load faster than they used to.
