What makes the 5150/6505's unique tone, is in it's particular mix of frequencies AND sub harmonics. That Mic.Īnd because, mic placement affects what frequencies are actually picked up (and mic choice as well), that can directly affect the profile of certain amps. Where else do you think the input to the profiling process comes from. Profiling process is dependent on the recording chain, just as if you mic'ed it to record. Different placements will pick up different frequencies, this is known science. Straight on axis will NOT sound the same as off axis, even at the same spot. Right on the cone, will NOT sound the same as on the edge. I am seriously asking, because, particularly when using a dynamic mic, close mic'ing the speaker, mic placement is EVERYTHING when it comes to resultant recorded tone. How much recording of mic'ed cabs and amps have you done? Really have to disagree with that completely. Please, take more time, read a post 2 times slowly before posting hehehehe Dude, you dont seem to read through the posts properly. It's the trebly sound I want, but the Kemper makes it dull. Each clip has first REAL AMP, then I switch over to KEMPER. The Kemper should be able to capture the worst possible amp with bad settings, with the worst possible mic and placement.Īnd Mental, I dont think you understood the clips. Why do you even assume such a thing, Stefans-Kemper? Just like Pacocito says, it's NOT a matter of "bad microphone placement". There's even others in the trhead witnessing about some amps being impossible to capture well. If even Ola Englund fails at one amp, why can't I? Just like Ola Englund got on his Mesa Mark on the video in the OP. Refine a couple of times, and it should be done, no matter how bad the settings or mic placement are.īut the 5150 just was impossible to get right. Put a mic in front of amp, hit "profile!" and go. The Gallien Krueger and Roland is very similar, so I certainly know exactly how to profile. I refined several times for 20 minutes, I even tried other mic positions, other amp settings, with and without overdrive, it JUST DIDN'T CAPTURE THE SOUND. I still couldn't profile my 5150 properly. ![]() With the exact same setup, mic, and everything. I profiled a little Roland Microcube for fun, with good results as well. I profiled a Gallien Krueger near perfectly. ![]() I think you missed some critical parts of my statement:ġ. I think you need to calm down, and really look at what your doing, So I dont agree with the OP's statements, rather blame the Kemper, blame yourself for not "getting it" - read up, learn up and you will eventually get it correct like many others have achieved easily enough.Īnd moreover, please dont have an attack on Kemper as its not there fault for your own ignorance. in fact these amps were introduced in video form when kemper was at a young age, and there are some very convincing videos with sound clips comparing the Profile vs real amp. These style amps are incredibly popular with the community, especially in the harder rock genre, so it would be an oversight indeed if Kempers design team decided not to include this in its profile algorithms. in short, what i heard through the amp is what i got back through the kemper. Like anything, and everything, Profiling is an art, rightly or wrongly, but each to there own with preferences, but I managed to capture several 5150's (and others similar) without the need of extra fussing around, nor the need to adapt to a special technique. Profiling of a 5150 is totally possible, and is in no way "impossible" as the OP is suggesting, in fact his arguments are rather false. ![]() I know what I'm doing, since I could profile a Gallien Krueger properly, and even a Roland Microcubeīut the 5150 is just impossible, even tho I'm using the same mics and refining techiniques! Not even Ola Englund could profile the Mesa properly in his video, and he's a professional so he should know what he's doing. ![]() "Profiling is an unparalleled technique to extract the exact tone and feel from some amps, but not all" Since that is obviously not the case, that is a lie, on your own homepage. "Profiling is a unparalleled technique to extract the exact tone and feel from any amp." I also expect this discussion to be civil and based on rationale - no more tantrums. I ask you to the remove the CAPS LOCK from your post (I already changed the huge font to standard size black font). Using a huge red font, CAPS LOCK, calling us liars and being overly dramatic is however not an acceptable way to lead this discussion. The 5150 was profiled sucessfully by a number of people, maybe a few will chime in here (some already have).
