Does anyone know how to get a (modern metal) tone like this?

  • Post a sample of the tones you're talking about please. What audio interface do you use?

    I don't hqve a drop box account, I only have MP3's.. Can I load those up here? I use a $150 Presonis into a 2010 MacBook .using a a super old version of Digital Peformer. All of my MP3 files are too big for this site..


    Here is a sample from Ciliabs 5153 Stealth I use. I literally do no eq to these..

  • thank you so much for your advice, I'm finding out that the profiles do sound a lot better when they are loud, I just uploaded some profiles from STL ( angel vivaldi pack) I am digging the Diezel herbet profile. I haven't had the chance to play with the EQ yet, I will spend next weekend going through profiles and tinkering with the EQ. I will also consider on getting a tube power amp later on down the line.


    I will see if I can post a recording this weekend with a screenshot of my settings. I did record something with my cell phone and the weird thing is that it sounds really close to a real amp in the recording but listening to it as I am playing I can hear that "digital" tone


    weird.....

    Yes! I experienced this, you can convince yourself its digital sounding because you know its digital rather than it actually being digital. I experience this when someone plays my rig, they sound so much better than me!

  • Accepts album Stalingrad was probably the first(at least metal record)or one of the first albums that used a kemper. From an interview with guitar world:

    The tones on Stalingrad are killer. What was your amp setup? — Curtis Zwible

    Here’s a little-known secret: I recorded the whole album with a Kemper Profiling Amplifier


    So much for digital sound.

  • I had Splawns, Dual Recs, 5150s, Line 6, Engle Powerball2 Engle Morse and more. When I realized I could easily get the sounds of all of them in a unit I can carry around like a shopping basket I sold EVERYTHING except my vintage gear. I don't care if there ever is a KEMPER II as My Kemper sounds better than all the amps I have ever used. I just wish I would have had the Kemper $30,000 worth of amps ago.

  • Im still trying to make kemper sound good using high gain profile...

    Which one sounds better to you?

  • They all sounds fine. I'm very tired and my ears are tired too. Was there a bass there buried low in there I heard or just my imagination? Bass does so much for the guitar tone. Especially in metal.

    Yes there is a bass ...I'll try to play with the bass and the guitars a bit to make them fit better.
