5150 III help

jfischer518 · February 1, 2021 at 1:49 AM

Anyone else have trouble trying to profile a 5150 III red channel? I have gotten errors that I have noise gate in the chain, and that I have too much gain with the gain only on 3 and volume on 2. I have finally gotten the profiling process to finish without error and damn might be the worst sounding profile I have ever heard. I am using a single SM 57 and a Mesa Lonestar 212 cab if that helps.

Another forum member had a similar issue recently.

The input signal that the Kemper was receiving was too hot and clipping. The Kemper mistook the clipping as a noise gate.

You're signal still may be too hot if the profile did not turn out well.

Ya, that was me. I was doing a direct profiles then. Currently I am trying to use a mic. I actually had the profile tell me I wasnt loud enough profiling the Blue channel at a similar volume. I have not been able to try the reduced return from inside the profiler yet, that is next.
