Hello to everybody...
as per the thread title it is my intention to start a thorough comparison study about commercial profiles.
This decision came to me because I own the kemper since 2012 and since them practically every commercial profile I had was virtually never sounding the way I heard it.
So I would like to know why this thing happens: I hear a commercial profile announcement with dedicated video...love the timbre...purchase the pack but i don't get the same tone.
Now...before you add comment and, why not?, critics, I do all my test comparing with the same identical thing.
at this moment the test made are done with the kemper to audio board (edirol fa101 firewire) and two reference monitor (M-Audio BX8 Carbon). Guitar is always the same: Charvel with two hi quality humbuckers. Even hooking the kpa directly to the reference monitor, the result is the same: most of the time (if not all) it is not a wysiwug situation (what you see is what you get...better: what you hear).
I intend to do various clips of the commercial profile I can have my hands on so that we can discuss the results, if this thing can be of interest.
But...overall I care to say the following IMPORTANT statement:
it is my intention to understand this situation, NOT to discredit the excellent work that all the commercial profiles sellers are doing. They have all my respect and devotion.
Nevertheless I want to know why this thing happens and if I'm the only one.
I'm open to receive precious advices from commercial profile sellers so to get a hang on it.
let me know your comment, if any
Michael
