Kemper Profiles specific for Pedal Steel Guitar

Post by Joseph van der Eijk »

I went through hundreds of profiles on my new Kemper and found only a few profiles suitable for my pedal steel guitar.
I know about the DB-PSG profiles that can be found and two dobro profiles.
I only want to buy a profile (pack) when I am sure it will work / sound well for pedal steel guitar.
I do not want to spend a lot a money and get stuck with hundreds of profiles that may be very suitable for guitar but a not great for pedal steel guitar.
Can everybody in this forum who uses a Kemper profiler and bought profiles or profile packs that sound great tell me what profiles they use and where they got them or bought them.
This would save me and a lot of other pedal steel guitar players a lot of time browsing through hundreds and thousends of profiles and get us fast up to speed using the Kemper.

ThanX in advanced.

Paul Franklin's method has a number of pedal steel profiles and I know they have been posted to the forum in the past. Do a search of the forum for Kemper Profiles. This has been discussed in the past and you might find your answer in the archives.

Pm me your email address and I will send some of my complete steel rig profiles based on a Little Walter 50 amp. I use these every weekend and I think they sound killer.

I have no specific profiles yet other then the ones that where on my Kemper when I bought it, the profiles from the Paul Franklin course and some from the rig exchange.
Problem is: there are thousands of them mostly for guitar so it takes a few month to browse through them and test/listen to them eliminating the unusable for pedal steel guitar.
If I can find a fair base of profiles for pedal steel I can tweak them for my own use and wil gladly share them with other steel guitar players.
In the future I will try profiling my Katana 100/212 and Emmons Lashley 600.

Which section of the Paul Franklin course has the Kemper profiles? I've looked and haven't found any. In fact I haven't seen any mention of the Kemper in his courses. As I remember he does show his actual amp and fx settings. If he also has Kemper profiles I'd sure like to try them.
