Thanks to this thread I now have 300+ presets I didn’t know I had!

I love the Kemper Drive!

Ok it's part of a ToneJunkie pack I bought. The profile is 3P DW Hot Plexi 3.

Just uploaded 3 of the Magica patches with a different cab. I'm doing this offline, so I didn't choose them by listening, but these are the ones that sounded so good yesterday, I'm pretty sure.

in fact I’ll post a few of the existing one with the new cab. I’ll use the same with “3P cab” in the title

Yeah a nice 4x12 vintage Marshall cab will work great.

if you have any Britt packs, I think the cab I subbed is a 3rd power.

just an example that the wrong cab can make a great amp sound bleh.

the Fish and X88 sound fine with the V30s.

So if you try them out, substitute a 3rd Power Plexi cab from the original delivered cabs. Or just mess around with a vintage based Marshall style cab.

I was using a V30 cab and it’s not the best match for the Magica.

No I wasn’t getting much interest, so I posted them all on Rig Exchange. Search user MIKEYG00

Is this amp a clone of some other amp? Or just a modded plexi? I checked out the Ceriatone, sounds great.

Posted a bunch of my Bogner Fish, Magica Redplate, Soldano X88.

They are posted under MIKEYG00 (that's zero zero)

I captured them all right around 95-100 db, so that's where they are going to sound best.

Have fun kiddos!

Quote from Guitar guy

I tried some of these from the original post which is still out there BTW. There were various iterations of these files. I thought the later one's would be better by solving the output clipping problem, But they weren't as the same clipping problem (output LED flashing RED) existed. So I deleted them. Definitely a nice amp. Is there anyway to correct the existing files without changing or degrading their original tone and musical intent?

yeah they are SUPER hot. I love how they sound, but I have to do so much finagling with the output level, compared with my other profiles, that my only solution would be to tweak ALL MY OTHER profiles.

Something was screwy in the profiling process, the amp eq has bass, treble and presence at max

Not a matter of clipping. I use the master to control the level out to my FRFR.

I guess what I’m asking is if there’s anything I’m missing in terms of maximizing the profile’s sonic capabilities if I don’t use master at max on the Kemper?

I know what you’re saying about headroom. I profile my amps pretty loud (even if they have a master) and I find if I use my kemper at exactly the dB level of the original profile, they amp and profile are indistinguishable for all intents and purposes. Even recording that loud, I typically only use the kemper master at noon, so I have tones of headroom.

my experiment is to max the kemper master, so I have zero headroom and just control my levels from the FRFR. When I do this I swear it sounds better... but I think it’s in my head (I know it’s not fletcher-Munson...)

Out of curiosity tonight, I decided to turn my monitor down enough that I could keep my Kemper Master at max.

Am I imagining things? Sure seems to sound better than monitor volume higher and Kemper volume lower.

I have a dB meter, and in both approaches I was hovering right around 100 dB.

my imagination?? Isn’t volume just volume

Well in this case volume affects EQ which is what you adjust for band context as well. But I hear ya.

I think I might start creating 2 versions of patches in these cases, at least for my top 5 most used.

If you’re auditioning profiles on Rig Exchange,, do you try out many different volumes?

Was about to delete some higher gain profiles that were too harsh, but decided to turn them down to bedroomish volume and they sounded killer. It’s clear they were Eq’d for low volume play.

If you come across this scenario, do you use the amp volume control to compensate and level it with the volume of your other profiles?

for those folks making and selling profiles, how do they go about finding a middle ground for bedroom and gigging players? I believe MBritt Eq’s for gig volumes because his profiles don’t appeal to me until they are stage volume. At which point they pick ass. Same with the new Tone Junkies Purple Plexi pack, you need to move some air to get the most out em.

Thoughts?

Forget my clips.

Here's the zip file of a few favorites. If you'd like the whole pack, contact me

If the link above gives you trouble, try this

I had a Wizard that was custom built for Mark Slaughter of the band Slaughter. It was the best bedroom tube amp I’ve had and it was 100 watts! The guy I sold it to hated it, go figure.

I later bought a new MC100, that amp was much brighter. They are like SLOs, stage amps ....that’s where they get the magic....

OK let's kickstart this ...

First 10 requests get the pack for $3.

Second 10 requests get the pack for $5

I only ask that you provide feedback on this thread, positive/negative, it's all welcome.
