Hello to all!
I just want to share a little info with everybody, and hopefully get some feedback as well. I’ve been focusing a lot lately on making di profiles of my own and borrowed amps. I monitor solely with guitar cabs. I use a kemper di which does make a huge difference. The refining process is absolutely necessary in my opinion because I hear big differences between profiles with/without. It seems to ‘sweeten’ the profile. The volume at which the amp is profiled is very important and varies with each amp. I have to take multiple profiles to find the proper output level. Some amps at loud volumes will compress and show higher gain than the profiled amp, so I decrease output until I get a good match. Other amps need to be profiled loud to get a good input level, these are mainly clean.
For some amp specifics, I have successfully profiled a Carvin X100B that is an exact duplicate, in fact sounds better than the amp. Which is my favorite amplifier. One exception though- the B and bottom E. The high frequencies I have not been able to exactly match yet. The top 4 strings anywhere on the guitar neck are a duplicate. I have had some success with adjusting def and decreasing presence (the kemper presence frequencies are a discussion for another day). Anyway, I am confident that a 95-100% match is there, I just haven’t quite found it yet. E A D G are 100%. B E are about 75%
Let me know what y’all think. Thanks for reading
