Kemper KPA Finding Profiles
The best place to keep up to date on free and commercial rig offerings is the Kemper forum. Most Kemper users that post good profiles on the Rig Exchange will also create a thread about them in the Free Rigs and Profiles subforum to discuss the profiling setup in detail. Then there are some people that for one reason or another don't want to upload their rigs to the Rig Exchange but post Dropbox links in threads to rig packs. The Commercial Rigs and Profiles subforum is the prime place almost all vendors advertise their newest releases, as well as where consumers post reviews and discuss popular profile packs.
You can also quickly peruse new profiles on the Rig Exchange by using Rig Manager. Just sort by date.
Kemper Amp Profile List - This is a list of amps and popular profiles of said amps.
Some profile authors did not want to upload their profiles to the Rig Exchange, so I hosted them on their behalf.
The number of HAWP sessions is quite large and can be confusing what the differences are between them. Where should you start? Note that the HAWP sessions were an attempt at a community-feedback project to find the absolute best settings/profiles of a particular amp. Many sessions are "tests" to compare some suggested change from a prior session, or to isolate changes in individual switches or parameters. Here's a breakdown of the sessions:
- First session. Carvin Legacy 4x12 was chosen previously. Shure SM57 & Audio Technical AT4040 mics into an Allen Heath Mix Wizard 16:2. See readme for details on amp settings and mic placements.
- Added clean profile, gain-matched profiles between BE and HBE channels, and various distances on the AT4040.
- Added more Treble and Presence per Oozish's suggestions.
- Tried increasing Gain, changing Mids, and flipping the Voice switch.
- Tried SM57 at 20 degrees (off axis) vs. 0 degrees (on axis).
- Messing with all the switches. See the readme for a description of what each is designed to do.
- Comparing different Master Volume settings.
- Comparing different switch settings at different Gain settings - lots of profiles
- Try out the new Merging process on beta firmware 2.7.4. Direct Amp, Studio, and Merged profile based on LiamThompson's settings.
- Hallan's requested settings with Master Volume ranging from 2 to 5.
- Hallan's settings with various Gain and Master Volume settings.
