    Hi Michael, I was browsing your site recently and noticed that you no longer seem to have the Gramatico pack available. Surely that is some mistake =O Although your 69 Marshall is my go to rig that Gramatico is EPIC. I use amp drive 99.999999% of the time rather than pedals but this week I was practicing some stuff with a lot of quick changes between clean and dirty tones. Rather than set up a performance for practicing I just loaded on of the Gramatico cleaner rigs and stuck a Kemper Drive in front which I could toggle on/off as necessary. Damn! What a killer tone. I haven't been able to stop playing with it for nearly a week. That pack should be flying off the shelves on your store.

    Maybe the webmaster made a change and/or forgot it?

    I found it by Googling:

    GRAMMATICO SSS PACK – M. Britt Profile

    Welcome, and congratulations! :thumbup::)

    LIke Leo Fender, Kemper got it right the first time. It sounds like a tube amp from day 1. The others are playing a game of catch up.

    And when Kemper introduces new effects, they are without peer. I'm a proud Rack owner of 12 years and my search ended when I bought it.

    The Kone is a legitimate game changer. I was never fond of its FR mode either; imprints are where it's at.

    I have it inside of a 1x12 Power Engine cabinet. I'm not using the power amp of it at all as the Tech 21 people
    told me it can't handle a 4 ohm load. I use a DV Micro 50 Ciro Manna signature head for the power amp and love it.
    (That also sounds great on its own through a guitar speaker with its built in Tube Screamer circuit.)

    I'm glad you're enjoying it!

    i own tons of commercial profiles,most of the free profiles on the RE are not good,i always buy from Guido,Bert,Britts,Soundside,Fig,Lenz

    I'm a few years older than Michael(B), so I'm sure we listened to a lot of the same players and appreciate the same guitar tones. Along with his profiling expertise I trust his ears to create profiles that are pleasing to my ear...and he does. So 98% of the profiles I use are from his packs.

    RE profiles are so hit and miss. I don't want to spend hours finding great ones. Just take my $$....my time is valuable. ^^

    It's a strange pack, but not bad. Of course, overpriced. But there are 5 to 10 very good profiles I use often for recording. The remaining are repetitive and useless, although it's possible to conform a track with 5 different mics, at different levels and pan. It may be interesting for someone. I don't reccomend it for live use. MBritt is way better for that purpose (and everything else).

    Thanks for the input. I'm glad I passed. I know Carl is totally into using his tube amps, while MBritt loves amps, but fully embraces the Kemper. As a result, Michael takes more time with his profiles for his personal use on stage. (IMO)

    Just had a go with the beta on my Mac Mini (M2 Pro) and Ableton Live. It sounds pretty good, except that it's injecting intermittent digital noise into the track every couple of minutes. I have it in a USB hub, which is where I'd been connecting it to Rig Manager - I'll try moving it to a port on the Mini, but thought I'd post what I'm hearing.

    In general, you never want to use USB hubs for any kind of audio/midi connection. They will many time interfere with latency or other things. Always plug straight in.

    The most versatile dirt pedal I have. Unfortunately, Fulltone closed up shop.

    I don't know what the toxicity that you refer to is. I don't see it. Have you ever even logged in and posted there? I think you're letting your prejudices show.

    You can read messages without having an account. It was all over that thread...better reread. Communism and "zero integrity". It was closer to being a Ted Nugent forum.

    Before I bought the Kemper, I was 98% close to buying the Ultra model. I even convinced a friend to get it after I showed him the videos.

    Then, I saw/heard the Kemper and it was night and day difference in warmth. I have the financial means to buy the Axe III, but I stay with the Kemper as it still sounds better.

    I'm not pre-judging anything. I've done my research.

    That was the first time I've been to that forum in years. And nothing has changed as I see.

    This is the pot calling the kettle black. 8)I

    It says a lot when the kettle was banned from TGP.

    While there is fanboi-itis among Kemper owners, it doesn't reach the level of toxicity at the kettle's forum.

    As to the original topic....I'm actually more excited about USB audio than anything else.

    AS EXPECTED, the other guy (with steam coming out of his ears when the Kemper is mentioned) just commented today on their forum:

    "Liquid Profiling is a blatant infringement on my patent."
