...But maybe the logical starting point is the EQ knobs and the gain knob right on the front face of the Kemper
Can I get some advice on my tone please? :)

Yep, I tweak the internal stuff after I tweak the main EQ. I would definitely start there, then change some of the other parameters. However, once you know what the other parameters do, you may want to tweak them because you know that they will change the sound a certain way (that is different from using the EQ).

Yea I'm fine with the basic EQ, I've had some success with the definition and clarity parameter, as well as lowering the gain (blasphemy!!! ). I've also added compression to the track in Logic, which seemed to help.
I've just bounced the new one from the distorted guitars, the old one starts with distortion at 2.30. I think it's much better.

Nice, I'll take a listen when I get a chance. I'm at work and can't turn up the radio right now.
-
Yea whenever. I think it sounds much better.
-
Sounds fantastic. And I liked the first one!
As a new Kemper user, this has been the most informative thread I've seen. Great info. Thanks to all.

Again, if my ignorance can help others, that's fine by me!
I've had mine a year and I still feel like a beginner, mainly due to laziness!
-
The new one definitely sounds much closer to what you are going for. It's good. Did you end up using the treble booster instead of a Green Scream?
-
Thanks! Actually I used the same profile that I did for the clean but I increased the gain slightly and double tracked. I messed around with the treble booster but I couldn't get anything but a high pitched, trebley mess.
-
Yeah, a treble booster doesn't always work on all profiles. I'm sure if I messed with it some more I could get some good sounds out of it, but I tend to get that same result when I use it.
-
I've never ever used one anyway, I'm not a treble kind of guy, although that tone is definitely more treble than bass.
-
Error. Sorry
-
Do you guys think that this tone sounds like it's clipping harshly?

Thanks.
-
It's not clipping here and not harsh at all.
I'm not getting your quad tracking though. -
I thought it wasn't, someone said it was.
How do you mean, you're not getting it? As in you can't hear it, or you don't get how I've done it?
-
Just listened. For something like this, I wouldn't quad-track. I'd probably just pan the guitars around 50% L and R. And maybe pull back a bit on the reverb
-
Well, there are two reasons I did this.
1) I'm looking for a bigger guitar sound.
2) I'm a noob and I'm still feeling my way round it all.
Give me a couple of months and I'll be a lot less confused and confusing for you all. :p
-
Get the bigness in the original track Maybe you need to use a different profile.

I couldn't see any use in quad tracking for this track, that's what I wanted to say.
Double tracking would suffice to get bigness. And don't forget the bass guitar. -
Yea, I'd like to, but I don't seem to be able to get a great guitar tone recorded from a single tracked guitar. When I use the Logic instrument guitar samples the guitar sounds bigger, clearer. When I do the same with a single tracked guitar with my Kemper, I don't get the same fatness. I have to double track. It's almost like the Kemper compresses anything with distortion, but there's no compression on. Maybe it's because I'm using a single coil Strat, but I may well be doing something wrong.
I'll record a comparison and you can see what I mean.
