Funny you should say that, I have been browsing and GASing on your profiles all morning
Strongly considering your 1959RR and JCM800KK profile packs, but unfortunately I am not able to afford more than one of them right now. Could you please tell me more about these profiles, and their most important differences? I know they are totally different amps but, yeah... For the record, I already have a very good Plexi pack and a JCM2000 pack that I really like, and I want as much diversity as I can get. And I will of course check out your TSL package, sounds really great from the clips!

PS: I cannot get your 20% off code to work, is there something wrong or am I doing something wrong?

I bought the JCM800KK essentials, and I have to say: WOW! 5 profiles, but quality>quantity! The TSL package also has some really great tones. I have to say that I really, really like the idea of having just having 5-10 of the best profiles of an amp for a lower price! With the larger packs I never use all of the profiles, because a Plexi will always be better at low gain stuff than a high gain amp and the other way around of course. Certainly not my last purchase from Choptones!

You can also try some similar non Marshall amp profiles.
I can recommend @Deadlightstudio 's Splawn Quick Rod profiles, which are great for rock tones (imo better for rock than his jcm800. Silver Jubilee is also nice. see the tonehammer thread)

Tonehammer is one of my favorites as well, their DSL pack is great, as well as the free profiles from Deadlight Studio! Certainly going to buy more from them too.

Thanks man! Enjoy!

The Splawn in general is like a "better JCM 800" very Plexi sparkeling and in the hottest mode like a Soldano

Thanks guys!

Alright, so I had to buy the Silver Jubilee from Tonehammer as well... NOW I have to stop buying and actually play the profiles, haha!

The A1 Profile from the Silver Jubilee are the Slash Highgain settings..you can do almost everything with that profile - only using the Volume knob on your guitar

You were not kidding, the A1 is so dynamic it's insane! And with a Les Paul I get really close to Slash's tone. The A3 is nice as well, I usually tend to favor Fender amps for clean but this was equally nice, just a different flavor. Are you planning on doing more profiles? Unfortunately I cannot get myself to spend more on those really heavy brutal amp profiles, but I cannot get enough of Marshall hard rock profiles
PS: I have spent close to 110€ on profiles (and I haven't even owned the Kemper for a week..), and the DSL (particularly the "G" and "I") pack is my favorite, with the Jub really close!

I will soon have a JVM410 Pack and i need to get a friend lend me his Soldano Hot Rod
At some point i will try to get some Vintage Marshall too! Im totally into Marshalls

Alfi27 · November 29, 2015 at 12:48 PM

Sounds good man! Your JVM profile in the factory rigs was my first wow-experience with the Kemper. Might consider to try the Splawn as well, how does it differ from the Jub and DSL?

Deadlightstudio · November 29, 2015 at 1:17 PM

Trust me...they will be way better. I improved my micing skills a lot...also those will be Merged DI Profiles

Deadlightstudio · November 29, 2015 at 1:20 PM

Splawn is a sort of "better JCM 800" with lots of sparkeling Plexi Highs....has 3 modes....JCM800....JCM800 Hot rodded...and Soldano
its really a "very good Marshall" but different to DSL or Silver Jubilee..not comparable

I recently got hold of an 80's JCM 800 and made profiles. Also did some with a Keeley SD1 and MXR 402 in front. Profiled a TSL100 aswell. Been gigging them nonstop since. Best Marshall sounds I had. Check out the demos at http://www.bigsunstudios.co.uk
