Hi there, Kemper community!
One of my very first threads/questions on these forums was if there were any Kemper profiles that are ideal for 7- or 8-string and/or low tunings. There never was anything specifically geared towards extended range guitars, so after working with the Kemper for 2 years now, I felt like it was about time to do something about this. I teamed up with Marc at Dailyhero Recordings in Berlin and we got into it! With that being said...
I am proud to announce:
The ERGLabs Kemper Profiles
Our goal was to create Kemper profiles that would handle extended range / low tunings tunings exceptionally well and offer the newest Kemper profiling features, including DI/merged profiles. We also tried to get our hands on amps that haven't been profiled a million times already. Here's the gear we used:
-Fender EVH 5150 III 50W
-Peavey 6534+
-Soldano SII Preamp through Engl E840/50 Tube Poweramp
-Orange PPC412
-Mesa Boogie Rectifier 4x12 Oversized
-Rodenberg Flux Capacitor Overdrive
-Shure SM57
-Ibanez RG2228A w/ Instrumental Pickups SFTY3-8
Most of you are probably going to want to know why and how these profiles are working better with lower tunings than others.
The answer is simple: We used an 8-string guitar for the refining process. Using a guitar with an extended range enabled the Kemper to learn how the amps we profiled would handle the lower frequency range of the 7th and 8th string. We made sure to cover the entire range of the instrument, though. So if you were wondering if there are any shortcomings with normal tunings, we can assure you that all we achieved was a higher compatibility with low tunings. These profiles work just as well with 6-string guitars and standard tunings!
All rigs (except the "noBoost" ones) are profiled with the Rodenberg Flux Capacitor Overdrive and miced up with a Shure SM57. We hand-picked the best sounding profiles of each amp, so some amps come with more profiles than others.
Every amp profiled includes DI and merged profiles!
