I put a EVH Frankie in an old Strat I had… sounded great, kinda pricey though. Not very high gain, but very articulate and enough juice for what your wanting to play.

I really like the dinky bodies - neck thru and the ones with bolt on necks. My problem with that particular model (and some ESP's) is the volume knob is too close to the bridge pickup and my knuckles always hits it. I had to sell mine for that reason.
Agreed… I hit it all the time, not the best design on their end.

Lpcustom You are a Jedi? I can see hints in the pictures
Ha! I forgot those were in the shot… more of a dark side user, but hey - I like green too.

Since I got my Kemper years ago I’ve probably only downloaded a small amount of profiles. First thing I did when I bought it was “clean out” what I didn’t use or didn’t care for.
Even as “amp like” as the Kemper is, I find my favorite tones for a particular setting may not be the “exact” one the artist used… it’s more about what sounds good to my ears.
I’ve tried to focus more on “my sound” as a guitarist more since I purchased it and for that, the Kemper delivers in spades.

It’s funny how the Boss HM was laughed at years ago, now it’s almost revered by certain guitarists. Many years ago I worked at a music store when this pedal came out, kids would come in and “chunk away” forever… absolutely drove me nuts.
I picked up a Arion Metal Master cheap one day, was supposed to be similar to that sound… awful. Wish I still had it though. -
Did some upgrades to my old Jackson DKMG… my “shredder” guitar that my dear wife bought me in 2007.
Upgraded the Trem to a OFR Floyd ( the original Jackson is just sorry… by the way, if your considering a similar route it IS a direct fit).
Upgraded tuners to Schallers.
Upgraded OFR Locking Nut.
Installed noiseless Trem springs.
Installed a Trem lock for tuning stability.
Installed new knobs and strap locks to round out the look.
Lastly, took it to Glaser Guitars in Nashville, TN for a PLEK and setup….. WELL WORTH the spend, those guys are great.
Here is a before and after pic. -
Many thanks - working great for me… connected to my iPad Air without issue.

It was a lot of fun, I typically don't consider myself a "wedding guy" but I like to do them for friends and family if they request. Just getting out and playing on any level right now is wonderful.

I’ve had my stage for a few years now and been playing live regularly ever since - loving the tones I’ve gotten. However, recently I had an opportunity to provide the music for a friends wedding and thought this would be a good test.
I found a free profile on the Rig Exchange of a Fishman Aura Preamp and that, along with my 2 Headrush 12” Cabs sounded outstanding. Guitars used were my Taylor and an Alvarez Nylon String - played a mix of classic rock songs fingerstyle and had a blast. Got a lot of compliments on the guitar sound - even before the booze started flowing!
Glad to share that time with those folks and push the envelope of what this amazing piece of kit can do! -
I was fortunate to grow up in a musical family, studied piano at a young age but it bored me,,, when I heard “Crossroads” by Cream THAT did it for me... never looked back.
-
I use two Headrush 112’s as well in stereo... love it and it’s plenty loud with a ton of headroom.
-
I always plug in my guitar first ?...
Then just hit the power button on the KPA and the power switches on my FRFR’s... easy peasy.

I like Tone Junkies Stu G's 62 AC J3 - He has some free profiles available.
I agree... I have that profile and a few others from them, both purchased and free (the offer free content all the time and their free pack is quite good).
-
Search Rig Exchange for Morgan AC20 by rmpacheco... one of the best profiles period... not a VOX, but very “VOXY”?
-
I use my stage live FOH as my only amp and effects as well as for recording and practice. Much easier to pack around... the older I get any trade off is worth not having to lug a ton a gear around (and I get more positive comments on my tone than ever).
-
I use a free profile of a fishman aura that I found on the rig exchange... sounds wonderful with both my Alvarez nylon string and Taylor steel string.
-
Awesome - one of my favorite tracks from DP!
-
Good job - nice tone!

There should be a switch next to the input on your Scarlett to turn it off. I have the same setup, but I’m using the Scarlett 2x12 and it sounds great.
