Brown Sound Profiles
I don't know about you, but I've been chasing the 'brown sound' forever. Well, at least since the mid 80s when I was playing long enough to know what a cool tone it was. There are differences though depending on album and guitars our Hero used, and I wanted to capture those with my Kemper.
And I think I've succeeded. Below is a profile pack of 11 tones - 10 were made with the help of EQ matching, one wasn't - the one that wasn't just think of a bonus profile. The effects are close on it but the other tones are certainly closer.
What will you need? Any guitar with a humbucker in the bridge will work, you may need to adjust the gain slightly depending on how hot the pickup is and how close it is to the guitar. Even if you leave it alone it should be very close. Your guitar being a strat with a maple fingerboard will help, but again - it's just the last few percent, most of the work is already done for you.
Word of advice - the more you can play like the person these tones are modeled after, the better your versions will sound. But take heart - I pick like I'm fluffing pillows and have an incredibly light touch and set up my guitars incredibly low. Totally different than our Hero - so if I can get close playing like that, you can too.
Each profile has a full set of effects with it, ready to help cop the signature effects like phaser, flanger, reverb and delay used on the recordings. I also include notes on each preset, and a source for where you can find backing tracks to enjoy these profiles with.
I spent a LOT more time and effort on these profiles than I do usually. You won't get as many of these as you would my standard profile packs, but the quality and time spent per profile is much higher.
New sound clip to come. Bear with me.
