Overcome – Elevation Worship – Kemper Performance

In this demo Bradford is using an Epiphone Les Paul with Lambertones Crema pickups.

This Kemper Performance file re-creates the guitar tones from the song ‘Overcome’ as recorded by Elevation Worship. It is designed to be used with the Kemper Remote, and all effects are included in the Kemper.

RIG MANAGER

Performances are handled differently than Profiles. To import this performance to your Kemper, you’ll need to use Rig Manager, which is free software available from Kemper.

SLOTS AND EFFECTS

We’ve set up the different song sections in the different slots on the remote (Rig Buttons 1-5), and we’ve mapped effects that you’ll likely want to access on the effects buttons (Effects Buttons 1-4).

Rig Buttons (Slots) and effects button assignments associated with each rig

1. CH: The main chorus tone
   1. EFFECTS 1: Chromatic pitch, Green Scream, Stereo Widener. Step on this and hold for the little riff inside the chorus. If you step and hold, it becomes a latching switch, so it will turn off when you step off.
   2. EFFECTS 2: Soft Shaper (on)
   3. EFFECTS 3: Vintage Chorus (on)
   4. EFFECTS 4: Single Delay (on)
2. V2: Verse 2
   1. EFFECTS 1: Chromatic pitch (on)
   2. EFFECTS 2: Green Scream, Soft Shaper (off)
   3. EFFECTS 3: Vintage Chorus (off)
   4. EFFECTS 4: Single Delay (on)
3. BRIDGE: Bridge riff section
   1. EFFECTS 1: Pure Booster (on)
   2. EFFECTS 2: Green Scream, Soft Shaper (off – turn on for the bigger section)
   3. EFFECTS 3: Vintage Chorus (off)
   4. EFFECTS 4: Single Delay (on)
4. RHY: Rhythm tone for the bigger parts of the song, including the chorus riff tone
   1. EFFECTS 1: Chromatic Pitch (off – turn on for the chorus riff)
   2. EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (on)
   3. EFFECTS 3: Soft Shaper, Green Scream (off – turn on for bigger drive)
   4. EFFECTS 4: Single Delay (on)

MAKING CHANGES FOR OUR GUITAR

We tested this performance with multiple guitars, but ultimately you may want to tweak it a bit for your guitar, which will most likely have a different output level and pickup tone than our guitars.

Start with the ‘Definition’ and ‘Clarity’ controls on the amp

These two controls have an enormous impact on the overall tone, and are very efficient at adjusting the gain structure and clarity/tone of the sound, all without straying too far away from the base tone. They’re perfect for tailoring a patch made with humbuckers to a single coil guitar (or vice versa). We always recommend starting here rather than EQ or Gain controls.

EQ Controls: From there, adjust the EQ controls (in the amp stack). If the tone is a bit dark or bright, adjust the EQ to compensate.

Gain control (proceed with caution). We recommend adjusting the gain on the amp last – especially raising the gain. This will introduce digital gain, which sounds pretty gross – it does not behave like a gain knob on an amp. If you need more gain, either adjust the definition control or increase the level control on the compressor. If you need less gain, turn the gain control down works well.
