Hi Kemperfolks,
First:
I’m not sure if this is the right sub for this thread, so don’t mind to push it somewhere else, thanks.
I couldn’t play guitar for quite a long time because I hurt both of my hands and this kind of threw myself back in terms of playing guitar and recording music. My ear for guitar sounds are on “reset” right now and I want to restart recording and making music.
Everyone seems to sounds absolutely awesome with their kempers, but I can’t seem to find a good tone. For weeks I’m just digging through profiles without really playing, only looking for sounds. If I find something that I like, I record it and realize that it sounds crappy, cheap, fizzy, grainy, flat, ugly ect.
I think one of my problems is the bass/lower mids in my guitar(s). But I’m not sure if my guitars are to blame, or if the kemper somehow is amplifying the lower frequencies too much.
This means that I need your help to tell me: Do my guitars suck? Is something wrong with my ears? Is it the kemper? My monitoring situation?
I recorded a DI of each of my main guitars into my Focusrite Clarett and reamped it with a (randomly chosen) profile from Lars Luette (Mars SL 100 E).
Could someone please tell me if my thoughts are correct? Or even better: could someone reamp my DIs with the same profile and upload it? Or upload some own DIs so that I can reamp them?
