Question about profiling pre-amps with new firmware

Tone · April 6, 2015 at 6:56 PM

Hello all ! I have got a pre-amp i want to profile before selling it , i didnt yet profiled with the new firmware that can create merged profiles , my question is the following , i would like to profile my favorite pre-amp settings, is better to create direct out only ? or use my behringer DI, to create merged profiles using the cabinet simulation on pre-map, and then replace it with better cabs inside kemper ?

If the advice will be to create merged profiles , what is the best way to do it ? using cabinet simulation on the pre-amp or doing it on the Behringer GI100 ULTRA-G that has guitar cabinet simulation .

Thanks in advance for any help and advice .

cheers

Why not experiment and make a bunch of profiles? See what works best with what you've got.
If I was selling off a preamp I would profile the crap out of it first.

I assume you don't have a poweramp and cab, because that would be far better for creating merged profiles.
I would imagine the built in cab sim on the preamp would be the second choice for me but it's a guess.

You're going to be missing the amp section and it might not sound right swapping cabs, when you do the direct part without an amp in the chain.

How do you normally use the preamp?

I suggest profiling it that way first - you will want profiles that produce your favorite sounds.

Thanks for commenting . I Believe that maybe direct amp profiles is best way to go ? My thing is to use merged cabinets i do have , that is why i was thinking that finding way to profile my pre amp with cabinet simulator on , and making merged profiles, when i would inside kemper change cabinet would be more accurate . Theres the poweramp variable missing in the cabinet simulator on my pre amp profiling . . .
