Hi everyone,
I recently picked up an Orange OR15, which joins my Kemper Stage and my VX Kraken. After some days of recording with my band, I have been messing around with amp blending and decided to try my hand at making a profile this way. The final result came pretty close to the original tone, so I wanted to share it around and see what people think.
The blend is my VX Kraken on Gain 2 with the OR15's gain set around 1 o'clock. Both amps ran into the same 412 IR with a single SM7B. I added a post-signal high and low pass at 100Hz and 12500Hz, plus a -2.5dB notch at 250Hz and 4000Hz, to help tame the signal. The rigs available on the Rig Exchange are the same profile, just tweaked to two different guitars I own, which have very different pickup characteristics. Each rig name corresponds to a different guitar: SG being my 1972 Ibanex SG lawsuit with Greco Screamin' 82 pickups (dark guitar, brighter profile), and Bea being my Chapman ML3 Bea with a Bare Knuckle Juggernaut.
Your can find the rigs under:

Thanks for taking the effort to make these and thanks for sharing here. Great approach. Similar to what Michael Wagener described in one of the early videos on the Kemper. Cool thing
Soundwise I have to admit that these are rather bright for my taste. I dialed Definition back down to around 3. Will have to experiment a bit with it. Thanks again!

and 125000Hz
wow.

DonPetersen haha, good catch on the typo, or else you have an impressive ear.
deadman42 my SG is really dark, and I did find the Bea version a bit bright with the Juggernauts as well. I will keep experimenting with different guitars. I am sure other cool sound are there somewhere.

Sounds pretty good! Articulate and a little bit of chewy-ness
