Display MoreI'm currently using basically ONE performance for over 90% of what my band does. That performance consists entirely of MBritt Friedman BE50 rigs.
1) BE50 Cln 4 (I use the morph to get an edgy breakup tone via morphing in the Green Scream OD)
2) BE50 BE 5T (morph in a vol, delay, and also a gain boost via Green Scream mix)
3) BE50 BE 5T w/ higher gain setting on amp (same morph setup as #2)
4) Freed 50 B 6K (morph a vol boost, rev and delay boost)
5) BE50 BE 8R (lead tone...already has vol boost). Morph a variation of the base tone for added cut.
Amazingly, this, along with the acoustic simulator on slot 1 really covers all my needs. I've purchased packs from other "heavy hitter" profilers but, MBritt's Crank N Go really is all I need. The amazing thing about his profiles is, they sound even better at stage volume! I run my Kemper Stage main outs (stereo) into a Line 6 Powercab 212+ for my onstage personal monitor, and then run just a mono XLR out from the Powercab to FOH...easy peasy!
I made a performance copying yours here. Very Very nice except after a while I disfavored the sound of the rigs with pedals baked if being driven by a Kemper drive pedal. But it's one of my top 5 performances for sure. Thanks for the idea. I noticed the promo video showed these as well. Have you tried the "heels"? I think that one goes under the radar and normally I wouldn't look twice at that brand but that rig (I think the 5)sounds great. My current favorite is the two Marshalls in there! I have found them hard to beat out of all the ones I have tried from several top profilers. I actually had a 78 JMP that was great but not as versatile.
I'd probably tell beginners that may be struggling with getting rock sounds to get this pack. If it doesn't sound good, there's something wrong with your setup!
For now it's Match JJ for mild crunch using a mid boost EQ I copied and tamed down from that famous AC20 profile(which is great too) then the two marshalls in 2&3 then the heels #4 and a ENGL I found on RE for metal #5. All channels are set up to boost to a compatible lead sound using tap control as morph. ( If I start adding phase, delay etc., I like the selection button to go right back to the base sound with one push) For songs I need a really clean or acoustic sound for, I'll use another performance.
