I tried making a direct profile today using a countryman type 85 direct box, and I have to say I'm a little bummed. It could totally be user error for sure, but I feel like I followed the procedures correctly. I'm picky about tone, so when I hear my direct profile from the kemper in my cab, then plug into the real amp and in to the same cab, there's a really big difference. The kemper is much brighter/more "processed" sounding, and the real amp is warmer and thicker and more dynamic.
What are people's experiences with this? How are your direct profiles coming out? Anyone compare them back to back with the same amp/cab setup?
