About these presets
Kemper profiles and ToneX captures
Touring guitarists’ own amps, profiled on a Kemper and captured on a ToneX. Hear the demos before you buy.
This page lists 6 amp packs from 2 players. The players include John Meding (guitarist for Red Rocks Worship) and Chauncey Arner (guitarist for Ashley Cooke). The packs are made for the IK Multimedia ToneX, IK Multimedia ToneX One, and Kemper Stage.
Each pack’s page has the audio demos and exactly what was captured.
Kemper profiles and ToneX captures, answered
Are these the players’ own amps?
Yes. Every pack is a player capturing an amp they own and use, at the settings they actually dial in. Your guitar and pickups aren’t theirs, so expect to tweak a little.
Which Kemper units do the profiles work on?
Kemper profiles are .krig files. Chauncey Arner’s pack lists the Profiler, Stage, Player and Rack, and each pack’s page lists what it was built for.
How do I load Kemper profiles?
Back up first, then import the profiles with Kemper’s free Rig Manager. No computer nearby? On a Head, Rack or Stage, copy the rigs into the Shared folder on a USB stick, plug it in and press USB Stick to import them. Full steps are in our Kemper Profiler guide and Kemper Stage guide.
How do I load ToneX captures?
Back up first, then import the captures with IK Multimedia’s TONEX Editor. Full steps are in our TONEX guide and TONEX ONE guide.
Do the ToneX captures include a cab?
It depends on the pack. John Meding’s ToneX packs include amp-only versions for your own cabinet or IRs, and the MVP23 pack pairs each capture with a stock 2x12 IR. Every one of John’s ToneX captures was dialed with the input trim at 7.0, so start there.
Should I use a profiler or a full modeler?
Both are great, and it comes down to what you need on the floor. If you want the whole rig in one box with effects, look at our Helix presets and Quad Cortex presets. If you already love your pedalboard and just need the amp, a profile or capture at the end of the board does exactly that.
