Has anyone profiled an acoustic amp with this yet? I'm sure it can capture it well, just curious if it's been done yet or not.

Also wondering if I will go directly to hell when I die for considering selling a vintage guitar to obtain one. :scared:
 
I'm not sure about an acoustic amp but I know there profiles that are supposed to make your electric sound like an acoustic. I've not tried those. I have a Variax that I use for that purpose. That said I'm sure you could profile an acoustic amp no problem.

I don't think anyone has yet, I have a few bass profiles that I've played an electric bass through and they sounded fine, and clean amps sound good, so it should work. Only problem I see is you'd have to far mic it because I think acoustic amps usually have a tweeter, right? You'd want the microphone far enough back that it caught that along with the woofer. Probably wouldn't want to use a mic like a SM57 either, probably more like an AKGC1000 - that captures more high end detail.

You could also run a line out from the acoustic amp and use that instead of a mic for profiling.

There are some really nice acoustic guitar patches that sound like a piezo guitar. it's good enough for me that I put up my piezo guitars for sale (hamer usa duotone and a ibanez prestige w/piezo floyd).
 
I was curious about this as well- hope I'm not highjacking the thread, but Pete, when you say you have some bass profiles, does that mean you found or created some profiles of bass amps? Or just played bass through some guitar amp profiles? It would be awesome if there were also a bunch of cool bass amp profiles (like a SVT or Mesa Carbine) to go along with all of the guitar amp profiles! I'm currently getting by using my G-K head's direct out and a VT bass pedal, which sounds good to me, but I have a hunch that a good Kemper profile might sound a bit better!

Like I said earlier, sorry tweed if this highjacks the thread, but given the number of Kemper posts lately I though it might be better just to post here- not surprised that there's a "kemper sticky" poll going on, kinda makes sense, lol!

Cheers,
