Kemper JCM800/Greenbacks clip

https://soundcloud.com/richantonelli/ke ... greenbacks


Really quick clip of the Kemper Profiling amp using And44's JCM800 profile with his Green XTC cab model. Left side has a green screamer on it while the right side is just the 800 stock. Drums are from EZDrummer and the bass is direct into my focusrite interface. used my Sambora ESP guitar with Pearly Gates pickup.

I'm sorry, I really can't listen to that clip because of all of the aliasing that's going on plus I can hear that you used 1.60 software and the highs are utterly disgusting.

So you're one of THOSE people....

Something going on with the lows.. flubbing or lacking definition. Anyway to dial that out of a preset?

Yes but I don't hear it. This was just a stock profile. Straight from Kemper to interface, no tweaking, no eq.

Sounds good Rich!

 

[gibson5413]

Sounds awesome! That is one of my favorite profiles available. Low end sounds like an 800 to my ears.

Sounds awesome!

 

[JerEvil]

I'm not too in the loop of the whole version change, but am aware of some controversy. I listened to a couple clips sent to me from ejecta and heard a slight change in the high end. I couldn't tell a difference without having to squint rear hard and I thought what I heard was for the better. Hell, it might even have been my imagination. But in no way did I hear something that was a significant change.

Unless there are some frequencies in between my old ears and what dogs can hear that are completely botched, I am lost at why people are complaining.

Unfortunately, I feel like there is a placebo effect going on inherently when someone mentions "update". In the past, Line 6 Vetta and Axe-FX users were given new updates with the promise of more realistic sounds and such. I think some can be hyper sensitive to this and try to seek it out. Don't get me wrong. I don't mention Line 6 and Fractal as the problem at all. Someone's upgrade might be another person's downgrade. The only difference in tone I noticed was the updated EQ curve of the Green Screamer. It wasn't worse, just different from where it was. Nothing I can't fix with the turn of a couple knobs.

Another thing, if you don't like a certain version of firmware you don't need to upgrade. If you are happy with the unit then leave it. I think some people feel like if they don't have the most current version they have an inferior product. I never noticed the aliasing issues and didn't have a problem with the previous Green Screamer EQ curve. All good from my camp.

Back on topic, I loved this clip and profile!!

I agree with you 100%
I heard the clips posted and pissed myself laughing. I'm mean....Even if you DO hear a difference in those clips, It was so small that i was definitely like are you F&**& kidding me?

Not so fast fellas...... some guys are bringing out the anal probes.

The green line is 1.5.4 and the magenta line is 1.6.0. The pretty much overlap in average but you can see that are not identical. The red line is the differential matching EQ that Ozone calculates to make the 1.6.0 track to sound like 1.5.4 track on average. If Ozone does not lie and I am doing it correctly you can see for example that the high end on 1.6.0 is more pronounced since the differential matching EQ is progressively going down in that area.

Sorry guys, to be honest, def not my favourite profile or sound from an 800 at all. Not blaming anyone because it came straight out of the kemper. Not being anal because it is jsut what I hear and my JCM800 doesn't have what i am hearing on the low end. I heard some really good ones on a pay site the other day though. If I can find them I'll post a link for comparison. Those were pretty impressive.

No man, That's totally cool and I totally hear you. Not everyone is going to like that tone. With that said and I can tell you this as a fact because I own a kemper.. If you profiled your exact jcm800 with your speaker cab, you will capture EXACTLY what you like.

Some have said "game changer" about a pieces gear in the past but the Kemper really is one. It's the first piece of gear in a long time that to me really lived up to the hype.

I agree and I have a 100% track record of blowing peoples minds with the Kemper after I let them try it and I actually go out of my way not to influence there opinion.
