I decided to spend the day capturing the ultimate Peavey 6505 to Mesa Rectifier cab profile.
The 6505 is my most used metal amp in the studio so I wanted to create a profile that would sound perfect in a final mix.
The chain is TS808 Tube Screamer to 6505 to Rectifier cab.
Mics are sm57 and vintage MD421, placed by sending pink noise to the amp and getting the mics completely in phase.
Mics then go to 2 channels of Aurora Audio GTQ mic pres.
Once I got the mix of the 2 mics I wanted, I added a Sonnox EQ to make 2 small cuts at 260Hz and 2.5KHz before the summed signal was returned to the kemper.
Once I had captured the studio profile, I made a direct profile using BSS AR133 DI box to Focusrite ISA828.
So this profile is a proper merged profile meaning you can have a clean DI to a cab on stage and the full rig to front of house with no compromise.
I have gate on slot A and high and low pass EQ on slot X.
Refined with PRS Custom 24 with Duncan SH11 from Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt to Radial JCR Reamp box with pre recorded DI track that works great for refining.
Please comment on how this profile works for you.
(and if you want to really say thanks, buy a pack on my web store)

So uh....yeah this thing is fantastic. I’ve had it on my desktop for a few days but been busy with work.
Had a few beers and lit up the amp, dropped this in and went at it. This slays hard dude.
I really need to buy one of your packs...
EDIT: went to check out your Mark III pack and it says there’s 80 (?!) profiles in there?! Dude I don’t have 80 profiles on my whole Kemper. You got a Greatest Hits pack or something like that?

I just had a whole lot of fun playing that - thank you!
-
Big thanks !!!

Dig it man! Of course I tweaked it with way too much presence and gain as usual. I'm deaf. Sorry for the sloppy and off timing clip. First time playing in months. I'm finally in my new house

Don't sell yourself short, Ant.
Sounds well-in-the-ballpark to me, mate.
Oh, and welcome to the forum, @Dexter64!

Thank you for the Rig

2nd attempt at ruining a good profile by adding so much crap to it

Closer again. Better-defined.
I was going to say yesterday that the major difference between your and the reference tone was that the latter might've had its balls castrated in order to be mix-ready. It would only have been a logical guess 'though 'cause the CrapMac™ speaker has a bass response of precisely-zero.
Now, it appears, you might've done this too, Ant. However you achieved it 'though, well done, man.

My 1st try was done with my eyes. 2nd try was with my ears. The example tone is so thick and layered. I am guessing its 2 heads multiple cabs and some kind of widener. Only post FX I used on the 2nd one was an L1 to calm the bass. Listening to it I can be a little more aggressive with the L1.
