Bad

This is part of a series of videos for U2 / The Edge fans to show how to achieve some tones with the Kemper Profiling Amplifier.


What you are listen to is only the Kemper Amp directly in the PC Audio Interface without any additional effect and/or post-processing. Video recorded LIVE with a Canon camera.

U2 Bad LIVE [KEMPER RIGs] #g3

For the Kemper Rig I used a Commercial Profile: VOX AC30 TAF Pack2 ‘A-Topboost Bee+’.

You can buy this profile here:    The Amp Factory Pack 2

Substitute only the Amp of my Rig (click below to download) with the Commercial one and use these settings (Gain 3.4 Definition 7.2 PowSag 4.6 Pick 1.1 Comp 2.8 Clarity 6.5). The same information/settings are reported in the Rig on the various Tags of the temporary Amp inserted in the Rig (so you can easily download my Rig and read all from Rig Manager).
