- In today's video, I turn on my Kemper Profiler and profile my favourite amp of all time, the Matchless Independence 35. But is the captured tone on the Kemper as good as the real thing?
If you would like to download the Matchless Independence Profiles, go to the Kemper rig manager and look for TSR INDEPENDENCE. There are 3 profiles of the 3 channels.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

That gentle dirt of your Matchless is THE hardest sound to emulate. I am super impressed by how well the Kemper nailed it.
Just downloaded the profiles , beautiful sounds !
Thank you very much for putting out this content.
God bless !
I just downloaded the three Matchless profiles. Honestly, they sound better than some paid-for profiles out there. Thanks man!
Hey dude, where you downloaded ? I wanna too
@ Apparently links have disappeared. They were on this video. I've been visiting The Studio Rats web frequently with the hope of finding more Kemper profiles, but no luck. Truly, the two profiles I downloaded here are some of the best I've heard on my Kemper (I have a lot of paid-for profiles from the most Kemper-popular folks).
@they are still in Rig Exchange, I downloaded them today. They are under “The Studio Rats”
Thank you for adding your profiles in Rig Exchange! They sound really amazing! 👍🤟
Thank you for this demonstration of the versatility of the Kemper. I've been using a Kemper for years now and just recorded an album with it. The studio engineers were blown away how great it sounded. I look forward to testing out your shared profiles on Rig Exchange!
Thanks Paul. Subscribed! Straight talking, to the point & pro playing that knows a great tone and how to get it. All my boxes ticked. Thanks again.
What a stunning sound, thx for this great demo !!!
Thanks for sharing the profiles and fantastic video as always! I love this channel !!!!
Great video, i downloaded the profile and all 3 sound brilliant, especially the clean(er) profile. Well done, thanks
Tanks for your profiles!! Sounds really good :))))
Glad you like them.
Sounds great man, thanks for sharing the profiles!
I'm 8 years in with Kemper and still love it. I use a combination of my own profiles and some MBritt ones.
Sound engineers love it and the covenience factor is amazing.
I have tried QC, AXE, Line 6 etc....but the Kemper stll works best for me..
How was the feeling with the Quad Cortex?? Is better than the Kemper or is the Same??
Thank you for the profiles in rig exchange! They are terrific! They sound amazing!
I’m glad you like them.
Sounds Amazing! Can't wait to get off work and try these out!!
Just downloaded. Thanks so much for doing this.
Excellent video, Profile sounds fantastic! 👏👍
Thank you for the contribution in the rig exchange! Will check it out and see if I can then play like you! 😅
Thanks again Paul
Thanks Paul for the profile, me like!
Thanks Paul, your a champ!
Brilliant profiles! Thanks for them. I gave them a plug on the Kemper user forums.
Great video. Thanks. Wow...they really do sound identical.
Just downloaded the rigs, they sound and feel great...🤘
Well done 👍 my Matchless brother!!!
Just put your 3 profiles onto my Kemper 😍 ooooh my 👌🏻 they are awesome 👏
Really enjoyed this man! Really looking hard at a Kemper.
Sounds great !!!
Those are superb profiles
Well Played Sir
Very tasteful Tone! It's - as always - in the fingers ...
Please do some more profiles of your other amps. Would love the Amp1 tones you get.
It does sound very very close but the matchless is still brighter a little bit!
I do like the kemper, but there's always this subtle shrill quality in the top end on distorted tones that is not in the real thing. With a (preferably valve) overdrive stomp in front, I'm happy with it, through my Fatso ELX7.
OMG , its FREE ! incredible!
I hope some day I have the confidence to get a kemper. I just dont know if I would understand how to use it lol. Im going to have my wife watch this video. Shes my I.T. Dept. Youd have a great ear Paul and If you say it sounds like it then it does. thanks again
It's the sound of the amp for sure, but I just feel that there might be just a little bit more string separation on the amp. It might be bias because it wasn't a blind test.
messed around with the profiles, throw the default setting Pure Boost in lieu of the phaser before the stack on the IND 2 profile. You're welcome.
I think Kempers are still very relevant. I’ve had mine for 5 years now and still love it. The powered version is great
Nice. You should also make a performance of this profile.
Ill have to look up what that is. but thanks for the advice.
Looks like the WA12 MK2 was receiving signal was that in the chain too ?
Top class comparison video. I had to put on some headphones to have a really good listen.
In the past, when I have watched other comparison videos of profiling amps, the amp always tends to sound a bit brighter with more sparkle than the profiler
.
However, this time the profile of the matchless was almost the same to me ears.
Incredible!!!
I now need to try a kemper, to see how it feels and responds to one’s playing
For what it’s worth, the feel is noticeably better than many digital options out there I’ve used, and what’s even better is at any point you can modify the feel using adjustments to the settings.
It’s not an easy piece of kit to use, but I’m over the moon happy with what it does for me. Very solid piece of kit.
Not sure if I'm over thinking this...but..You have profiled the Matchless amp using a Telecaster and yes it sounds awesome and indistinguishable from the actual Matchless & Tele combination. However, if I buy a Kemper, PC etc etc and download this patch for myself then put a Les Paul through it, will it be a true representation of a les paul going direct through a Matchless or will it sound like a les paul using the Telecasters sonics of a Matchless captured through a Kemper? Hope this makes sense.
Loving your work👍. Is the Kemper you use the un-powered version or the power head? Ta.
Cheers, the unpowered on.
Hello. I’m keen to get these profiles, but my computer says the files are corrupted. Anyone else had this issue?
Is it possible to put a track into the Kemper?
For example:
The guitar intro of Down down from Status Quo?
It’s guitar only so will that work as well for the Kemper to analyse?
No, I’m afraid there’s nothing that will currently do that at least in an accurate way.
where can i get this profiles???
How would you be monitoring these profiles in a live setting?. Sounding awesome here
Either using in-ears or through an FRFR speaker
I’m considering getting a kemper. I primarily play at home at fairly low volume. I love the sounds of overdriven Marshall’s. I have been approximating such a tone with some small modeling amps but have grown increasingly interested in the kemper. Do you recommend the power version or non powered ? I’m assuming I would ideally get some nice studio monitors to use for my home jamming ? Any input would be appreciated.
Always buy the powered version if you can afford it and it's within your budget.
Even if you don't use the Poweramp at home too often it nice to have that Poweramp available if one day you want to use it.
@@guitartoneSA Thanks for the info. So basically the powered version does all the same things as the non powered except I’d also have the option to use it for live playing and gigs and such? I think I could swing the extra money if it’s partially useful. I think I would primarily be using this at home with bedroom volumes playing a long to backing tracks and music. I just want to be able to get all these great tones in one box AND achieve a great tone at low volume. So I would probably use good studio monitors.
Can’t you also plug this into combo amps that have an effects loop and and basically use that speaker?
Thanks!

Yes the Powered Kemper is identical and does everything the unpowered version does...only difference, the built in Poweramp.
Yes you can plug the Kemper into the FX return of any tube amp or solid-state amp and make use of the Poweramp section.
In this video I did in a friend's studio we plugged a Kemper Stage into the FX return of a solid state Marshall MGFX100.
The audio you're hearing, we miced the room with a Zoom to capture the sound in the room ..it sounded amazing.

@@guitartoneSA thanks really cool and sounds awesome! Well done. Hmm, maybe I don’t need the powered version. I plan to use studio monitors but I also have a katana 100 watt MKIII and an older Marshall 1x12,combo that could presumably replicate what you guys are doing there?
Its close but in the top mid freqs there is more dynamics in the matchless. 2d kemper,, 3d Matchless,,, IMO modlers are still not there...
Sounds dead on to me. The Kemper is amazing.
Sounds Great! I actually owned one of the firsts KPA sold in Canada back in the day, but the only amp i profiled with was a Mesa Nomad 55 combo. Sold it a year after to buy an Axe FX II, because I didn't like the fact that when you bypass the cab, the amp is still colored (not completely raw).
Would be curious to hear the difference with a capture done with the QC! Next video maybe? : )
Cheers Paul!
So you are not using a mic when profiling the Matchless?
I am not using a mic.
What happened to your Quad Cortex?
I sold it I couldnt get on with it in the end. Again i think it was in in early stages of the software, i bet its great now.
Can you share?
The real beauty of the Kemper lies in what you're doing here.
that is: profiling your own favorite amps, set and mic'ed the way YOU like them.
Uncanny! What about the feel?
surprisingly it feels great.
To me feel is not that great. You dont have tubes and speaker to give you fullnes, sustain and air push. You can hear micked sound and this is ok trough monitors and headphones...but its is still unnatural feal that you'll have trough tube amp and speaker with overtones, squeals and natural fullnes/compession...Everything in electric guitar world have some adventages and flaws. I dont want to speak about latency that I can hear...I have kemper and amps and perfer amps in terms of feel by large margine.
One more thing. If someone have profile/rig with "singing" lead tone that doesn't sound thin...let me know I will gladly pay for it ;)
If there’s a difference, it’s indiscernible to me over CZcams.
Compare the tone with your favorite of the IR200 and save me $1500 😂
The Kemper is great, but I just cannot afford $2,500 for it. Sigh
You are obviously a good player Paul but you play mostly the same thing on every video. Good info though.
When you make as many videos as I do you tend to stick to familar parts, 1. becouse Im trying to think about what to say and how best to describe what im trying to review. 2. I am doing a product demo Im not demonstrating how well or not I can play.
@@TheStudioRats Don't be shy Paul, let er rip once in a while !
@@TheStudioRats dont reply...he is cripy obviously. Excellent videos
The thumbnail looks like you've got no arms.😂
