What are your favourite rigs proven live on stage?

djdyer · October 10, 2019 at 3:06 PM

I use 2 from the BM Friedman BE100 pack for modern crunch and high gain, and 2 of MBrit's Vox AC15 (pack 3) for clean and vintage crunch. I've been using these 4 profiles for several years now in a rock/pop covers band and have not found better ones for live use. They are slightly dark and work very well at high volume through pa speakers.

A nice thread. Please add also informations about your used cabinet / monitor type !

I can only read here, cause I've never been on stage with my toaster.

At rehearsal room I like M Britt Soldano 50 and of course... the famous Morgan AC 20

with different gain settings. Playing mono just through a single Dynacord AXM12 for personal monitor.

No more cab, cause there are no ears in my knees.

My own Uberschall profiles (in exchange). Lately I'm really digging the ones I did with KT77's that are DI only. I love my amp, but man it's a heavy bit of iron to load in on stage.

Others that I'm using is the TopJimi JJ100 profiles. Since thJerry Cantrell's signature amp, it's sound and feel is very similar to the Uberschall or a Bogner Shiva which were used a lot by him. The first two Alice in Chains albums were recorded on an Uberschall/Shiva predecessor, a Reinhold Bogner modded JCM800 2203.

I've used all of these profiles live with and without my own IR's. I record my own IR of my live guitar cabs and use them to send to the FOH while I run my cabs with a SS power amp straight from the monitor out of the Kemper. Then my band uses wireless IEM's so I get my FOH/Studio sound in my ears, and if I have issues, I just rely on my cab. Works great, I get the sound in my head consistently every single show with no worries about the FOH sound or someone else screwing up my monitor mixes.

I'm also trying out some Game of Tones Butterslax profiles, but they seem to be kind of jacked up in my opinion. Too woofy. Trying to dial them in but it's not working well.

I haven't been able to try my profiles live on stage yet, but I used some profiles on several occasions with bands in a practising environment. I found that profiles that are darker sounding often work best.

I’m very new to this just got a kemper stage last week. I have found the profiles I have been making, of my amps, using a direct box sound best - live with my band - they don’t sound the best at home - the studio profiles do but, at band practice, the the direct ones cut better sound very alive - again only had it one week and one practice - just my 2 cents

using countryman 85 DI

Kemper stage into orange baby pedal power amp- into Marshall 4x10 green backs and gold speakers

My amp are

Marshall 1974 18 watt

Thanks,

How does this rig hold up live on stage?

Zero the Hero · March 26, 2020 at 9:07 PM

What do you think about the GMF's JCM 800 ? I was highly suprised about these rigs especially the "JCM 800SM7_3" with wich I can play from Dinosaur Jr. to Obituary !!! This guy made a great stuff ! I use it at home (plugged in computer) in reheasal and in live - Direct in mix table, in a FRFR (low quality) or in my Fender Bassman 2X15 cab, it kickass !!! I can even drop it down at -5 its keeps good precision and soul . So you can go for some stoner style but its not the best for it. - Aviable in rig Exchange- In the same level you've got the Orange Rockerverb from GLS, but it's not in rig exchange except the "GLS-ORockV RE".

BulldogXTRM · March 26, 2020 at 10:05 PM

I recently uploaded my own Friedman Butterslax profiles from my new amp. I only use my Kemper in smaller venues where I can't bring my 4x12 but so far these profiles are kicking ass live. I've had quite a few complements on these and my Uberschall profiles.
