Looking forward to the pack!
Hi Bert,

Hi Kemper friends, I've just released my M800 profile pack based on the legendary Marshall JCM800 amp!!!
I hope you'll like it
All the usual class we know to expect from Bert!
... and I've said it before, but he's not just a super-classy player; the dude's about as good a person as you could possibly hope to meet.
Golden-to-the-core is our Bertie.
Hey Bert,
thanks for your profiles, in my setup they just sound the best. They have incredible pressure and are very differentiated.
I love your profiles !!!
Best regards
Da Gnedlwascher

Hi Gnedlwascher (great name man!!) thank you for your post!! I’m glad you dig these. The JCM800 is probably one of the most profiled amps around, I had some doubts about doing this amp to be honest.. But I'm glad I was able to make some difference in the end
Bert makes anything sound good. I bet he can profile an old Crate amp and make it sing.

LOL should I take that as a challenge..?
I would seriously trade every pack I've ever bought for His BE pack and this 800 Pack. I actually erased every performance on my Kemper last night after realizing I could use 5 rigs from each of these packs and have 95% of what I would use. All my other profile packs cannot compete with these two for mid to high gain. I have quite a few top profiler's packs that sound very good but none as good as Bert's. At first I passed having so many packs and thinking I'll just tweak what I already have, mainly using the BE pack. I am over the moon with this 800 pack, it re lit my fire to play play play. I can hardly wait to get home from work to play it, I listen to clips I made with it on a playlist and it just kills. All of them are good and could be useful. I don't think there is any "filler". Usually I don't prefer profiles that include a boost pedal but the tubescreamer and H mouth are excellent and keep the essence of the amp in tact and are a welcome plus to the tone and thickness. I have 2 nice 1983 JCM800s one with EL34 and one with 6550s and I can tell you he did a perfect job replicating the amp. Knowing how those amps can sound well, I haven't heard anyone "get it" like this. Best profile money I ever spent for what I'm looking for, I can't wait to use them live, it's gonna be sweet!
What a resounding endorsement bro'!
I must admit I've also considered ditching everything and keeping just all Bert's packs.
I gotta get the 800 pack. I love his demo

What a very nice review!! Thank you so much for this. It's a huge compliment that I'm very happy with. I have tried to profile the JCM800 as adequately as possible. Given this fantastic response, it seems to have worked out nicely!!

Yes Nicky bro, it is
Great profiles.
I would say if you can't get out the right tone from this profiles you must leave the guitarplaying.
Thx BM !

Hahaha I hadn't looked at it that way yet

Having profiled a early 800 a bit myself, I think it has to do with the way he mics it. As I have raved, the profiles have this slightly boxy (I describe as "aunchy") Marshall room tone that I've always tried to get from other Marshall profiles. It's not empty or "boxy" in a bad way, it's big and sits great in a mix. It's the whole reason I've loved 800s, a good one has that great rock sound going on. Not the same tone but when I hear Brian May's guitar recordings some have that boxy aunchy room sound, I think it comes from the slight delay between mics like single digit milliseconds that create a comb filter that makes it sound like you're listening to the amp but goes down on a recording perfect.
Bert, absolutely loving the 800 profiles. They are truly magical.
In my old “tube amps or die” days, my favorite rig was an EL34 or 6V6 amp set up for an edge-of-breakup tone that I would either boost with a variety of pedals, or back off the guitar volume a bit for cleans. A good-sounding JCM800 or similar amp was always the cornerstone of that rig.
Your 800 profiles are taking me right back to my glory days, Bert. I’ve been setting up new performances in preparation for rehearsal with the band next weekend. I grabbed a few of your cleaner 800 profiles, added a variety of boosts, overdrives, and distortions in front, and BAM. Tonal perfection. I am amazed at how well your profiles clean up, and equality stunned at how well they take pedals. The touch sensitivity and feel of these is off the charts, mate.
Super well done. Thank you!

Thank you mightypudge !! So good to hear I doubted very much whether I should release this amp. After all, it has already been done by so many others. I'm very glad I made the decision to just do it anyway

There are so many packs of plexis and "boutique amps which are pretty good, but I was missing just a straight rocking open sounding JMP/800 type pack that really sounded like the amp and had the tone I was looking for. I'm so glad you did release this it was a missing link for me.
