Hey guys!
Since Kemper said they improved the profiling process in the latest firmware update, I did some testing before updating during the last profiling session.
2.42 because I hadn't updated to 2.5, but I think this shouldn't matter too much for this cause.
So for all the people interesting in how the profiling sounds compared to earlier versions, here you go.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3961577/Mago-Kemper Firmware 2_6 vs 2_42 Comparison.zip
You'll get 6 mono wav files (3 stereo pairs).
If you don't want to listen to it in stereo in your DAW then just compare the Left (L) tracks, they have more playing at the beginning.
I did the following:
-Profile the rig with 2.42
-Reamp through that profile (2.42)
-Reamp through the reference amp (reference amp)
-Update to 2.6
-Profile with 2.6
-Reamp through the 2.6 profile.
I didn't change the settings or mic position on the amp.
For refining I used the same method on both profiles (the one Sam Pura showed during his creative live class).
Normally I would have recorded reamp through the microphone into the preamps of my interface, for the original sound of the setup.
But the preamps seem have taken a hit lately and act weird.
That's why I had to record through the reference amp on the kemper.
So it's not as scientific as it could be, sorry!
IMO 2.6 sounds closer to the amp and gets the lows and low mids closer. The mids seem to work a bit different as well, less squishy and less forward.
Overall also closer to the amp.
I'll have to get used to not dial in more lows than I normally would for profiling though hehe
