1974 Dual Showman Kemper Profile by Chauncey Arner

The 1974 Fender Dual Showman Reverb is the amp players call the Clean Monster: a 100-watt vintage stack with headroom that never quits, glassy highs, and a low end that stays tight no matter how hard you push it. Chauncey Arner profiled his own on a Kemper. He is a Nashville guitarist who tours with country artist Ashley Cooke, and he grew up on CCM before studying jazz and classical, a range you can hear across these six profiles.
 
They span three volume levels and two pickups. At Volume 3 it is pristine: humbucker for full chime, single coil with Bright on for worship cleans or country rhythm. At Volume 5 the amp sits on the edge of breakup, and the bright single coil squashes under a compressor for chicken-pickin lead lines. At Volume 10 it is cranked, with thick humbucker slide tones and a snarly single-coil rhythm caught between clean and dirty.
 
Six .krig profiles, organized by pickup and volume, ready for Profiler, Stage, Player, and Rack. The Clean Monster, wherever Chauncey plays it next.
