    When I first Ran 2 kempers together with 2 STEREO 2X12 Gemini cabs for the TWO amp blend sound people thought I was nuts. It was only when I ran that all through the Mimic quad pedal that I should have been packaged and served as a snack (Nuts). The two amp sound is so easy to explore having two kempers, even high gain blends (trust me you can make it work). Clean amps blend VERY well, it's a whole other world, but having a kemper you can use a dumble and baseman etc, two amps really have something special when blended right. I got the mimic and many other tips from this great man and channel so cheers to all. TRY STEREO CABS, not just two amps.

    Could you do an episode where you have two amps you think won't work together and make them work? Just so we know what actually doesn't sound good in your opinion and how to make things better when not working as you desire.
    Would love to see something like that!

    Hey Bea. I think that when you add the 808 you need to pull back on the gain of the amps. Because you already have a really aggressive sound, adding the drive on top of that is too much. Pulling back a little on the gain on the amps, putting them right on the edge of that aggression, when you add the pedal on top of that it'll push the amps to get a fierce and cutting sound without it sounding like mush and over the top. Idk that's my opinion. Take care man! 🙏

    I totally get you on the feel thing with the pedal on/off. I have multiple versions of the same Nolly preset with tiny changes on the cabs for different inspiring frequencies. Some days I want more 4-6K focus, others I want more 8K, and weird days where I switch to the Dover whack all the boosts on for that 2K demon dog bark! To me that's the greatness of plugins is I get the luxury of always being able to tweak to whatever inspires me without having to do any work setting up other gear. But I know I have one of those James Hetfield/Misha Mansoor right hands I can't turn off the shoveling on the strings when the gain is going and having a gate for that is essential and all the muting technique.
