Hi all,
I was listening to a podcast interview with Keith Merrow the other day where he went into his recording techniques in quite some detail. Some of the discussion was about his Kemper and how he profiles his amps. He mentions that his secret to getting his high gain tone was by profiling the amp just at the/past the point of breakup,and then adding the extra desired gain in the Kemper once the profiling has taken place. I've not tried this out, but I thought some peeps would be interested as a lot of people dig his guitar sound. I realise I'm posting this in the general discussion forum whereas it might be better suited to the tips and tricks section, however I was wondering if someone wouldn't mind testing this out? Perhaps also doing a side by side comparison of the different profiles, one with the gain coming from the amp pre-profile, and one with gain coming from the Kemper post profiling. Unfortunately I'm not able to profile my amps at the moment hence my reason for asking!
Here's the link to the interview:
They start talking about the Kemper technique at 42:00.
