Damn, that's really too bad. I thought those were your best rock profiles yet. Well, if you do end up going the mini pack route, I hope there's a merged version of that rig exchange 6534+ with the Bogner cab

^ Yep. Came here to say that. Or even just one or a couple amps with a new merged cab, doesn't have to be several.

Really enjoying the Bogner rock pack. Still have plans for a metal one?
-
Ordered and now playing. Whole pack sounds really good, but I'm really loving the Precision Metal profile.

The discount code doesn't seem to be working for me. It says "pending" when in the cart and there's no change in price when I go forward to Paypal. Tried it in Safari on my phone and Chrome on my laptop.

Krank Rev or Krankenstein would be kinda cool, but I imagine it's not very easy to get your hands on discontinued American amps over there in Germany. This isn't related to the clip above, just wishful thinking.

@sketchyluke182, the Nazgul has a really strong personality from all those upper mids, and I didn't get along with it in my KM-7 or Banshee 6. I'd really recommend dropping in a Black Winter for the style you mentioned. Just as aggressive as the Nazgul, and still plenty of mids, but a lot more balanced and enjoyable EQ-wise. It matches up well with the Sentient neck pickup too, if you don't wanna bother with a whole new set.
BTW, besides checking out the freebies, the Engl Savage pack owns for the brutal stuff. I've had it for a year or two and some packs (like the Mesa Rev G) may match it in quality with a different flavor, but IMO there's nothing better.

Another +1 for cili. Also, I know this is the commercial section, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned the free djemass Mark IIC+ profiles yet. They work great for the sound that OP is going for, especially when used with some of the merged Tonehammer cabs.

Mmm... ice cream...
SqWark, I think you might be misunderstanding me. I got your original point/question. My point was that in my experience, how close one's guitar and pickup choice is to the one in the original profile doesn't seem to matter much, when it comes to how good a profile sounds. There's gonna be some variation anyway, because we don't have the same hands and pick attack as the profilers. When I said "I think the same goes for the guys on the last page that are really digging the EMGs", I wasn't putting words in your mouth, I was just saying that regardless of what was used in the profile, you probably would have preferred how the ESP/EMG setup sounded.
Not that I'm an expert or anything, I'm just some peckerhead playing in his bedroom most of the time
-
^ Yep. I might have phrased it weirdly, but that's the point I was trying to make. I think the same goes for the guys on the last page that are really digging the EMGs.

For what it's worth, I have one guitar with EMG 81s, and while it sounds pretty good with Tonehammer profiles, I much prefer how my guitars with Duncan Distortion and Black Winter pickups sound with them (or high gain profiles by any other author). Whether or not it's slightly less true to the original chain doesn't really matter to me, that's just what my ears like.

Thanks for coming over to the merged side of the fence Guido! The Ecstasy profiles were great before, but it's really nice to be able to experiment with other cabs now.
the rug really ties the room together
A good rug on the floor and bobblehead on the desk are at least 30% of where a good tone comes from. It's a fact, just ask Baby Groot here-

HM2 profiles are not possible. We tried that million times, the profiles are like 60% off from the real deal. Kemper simply can´t match the gainstructure of the HM2
Ah, that's too bad. Looks like I'll have to just deal with it and actually use a pedal again, like we all had to in the pre-Kemper/Fractal dark ages Good thing it's not a sound I use 95% of the time, I've become spoiled by the simplicity of guitar, one(!) cable, Kemper, speaker, foot controller.

I have a suggestion for a future pack to throw out there as well. How about a set of various amps, boosted by an HM-2 or a clone of that pedal? A Peavey Bandit, and JCM-800 or one of its variants would be essential I know you've done some profiles with an MT-2 as a boost, but this would be a little different, and it would be cool to have a dedicated collection in one place. I highly doubt I'd be the only one who'd have a lot of fun with that.
Just an unrelated side note- I appreciate your advertising style on this forum of being cool and staying in one place. Certain other vendors spam the shit out of every single amp they profile, and it's irritating to look at the commercial forum when it's virtually filled up on the first few pages by a few profilers. It just seems tacky and unprofessional, and seriously turns me off from buying their stuff. I guess this is just a long-winded thank you for not being obnoxious

Well damn, that's generous. Even better!

Just curious, with the Road King pack being twice the price of the rest, is it eligible for the Black Friday sale? Maybe as a "buy 3, get 4" instead?

...by not going FRFR, you're missing all sorts of opportunities to try various cabs and speakers. You're limiting yourself to just that ONE setup. It might sound great with some profiles but not so great on others and you're stuck with it. And, let's be honest, of course a real guitar cabinet is going to sound better than a simulated one!!! Guess what, a real amp will too! But, limiting yourself to just one rig isn't why most of us bought into the KPA.
Kind of. Really, you're just limiting yourself to one speaker/cab. You still have loads of versatility, compared to the vast majority of good tube amps, by going through a combo or power amp/cab. Every profile doesn't sound good anyway, regardless of setup. I'm a DXR and monitors user, but I am curious about trying this out, considering the price a Katana goes for.
