Ty HM30 – Kemper Profile and Performance Pack

THE AMP

This pack includes profiles and performances of aTyler HM30 amp through a Tyler 10-12 cabinet loaded with a 12” UK Celestion G`2H30 and a 10” Eminence Ragin Cajun. This amp is inspired by the Matchless C-30 and includes a similar two channel configuration. The result is Vox-like chime and clarity with a refined grit that stays tight and focussed as the gain is increased. 

We’ve profiled all three channels options (12ax7 channel, EF86 channel, and the both channels jumped). We mic’d the amp with a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a stereo Neve 1073 preamp.

The result is a perfect representation of this very special amp for the Kemper Profiler.

NOTE: In late 2022 we re-visted this amp and created new profiles and performances using upgraded recording equipment. The newer (version 2) profiles and performances are main files included in this download. The original (version 1) profiles and performances are still included if you’d like to try them out.

THE PROFILES

The profiles increase through the entire gain range of the amp for all channel options. See the notes below on how to adjust these profiles to fit your guitars and playing style.

PERFORMANCES

This pack includes two performances – one dailed in for guitars with single coils and one for humbuckers.

We’ve set up these performances to use all five slots and all four effects buttons of the Kemper Remote/Stage with morph functions in all slots. Here are the slots and associated effects:

SLOT 1: CLEAN-ISH

This is your clean tone, but we set it up so that it breaks up on the bridge pickup, as long as your pickup has moderate output. Here are the effects in the different slots:

1. EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default)
2. EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default – gives you a bit of drive)
3. EFFECTS 3: Quarter Note Delay (off by default)
4. EFFECTS 4: Dotted 8th Note Delay (on by default)

MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.

PROFILE USED: Ty HM30 Ch1 2

SLOT 2: DRIVE 1

This slot gives you two levels of overdrive. It’s default tone is a light to medium-light level of drive (depending on how hot your pickups are). Hit the boost, and you’ve got a bit more gain on tap.

1. EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default)
2. EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
3. EFFECTS 3: 8th Note Delay (off by default)
4. EFFECTS 4: Dotted 8th Note Delay (on by default)

MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.

SLOT 3: DRIVE 2

This slot gives you two more levels of overdrive, both louder than the biggest setting in ‘Drive 1’. It’s default sound is a big rhythm drive tone. You can add more gain with the boost on Effects 2.

1. EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default)
2. EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
3. EFFECTS 3: 8th Note Delay (on by default)
4. EFFECTS 4: Dotted 8th Note Delay (off by default)

MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.

SLOT 4: LEAD

For our Lead tone, we set up a big gain sound with a level boost above the biggest drive sound in ‘Drive 2’. You’re guitar will lift nicely in the mix. Here are the effects available via the effects buttons: 

1. EFFECTS 1: Analog Octaver (off by default) – this adds a subtle low octave that will add a lot of body to your leads.
2. EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
3. EFFECTS 3: Quarter Note Delay (on by default)
4. EFFECTS 4: Dual Delay – 8th and dotted 8th (on by default)

MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.

SLOT 5: AMBI/SWELL

This slot can be used for volume swells or for super ambient playing (without swells). The delays and reverbs trail for a very long time – proceed with caution :).

1. EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default).
2. EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
3. EFFECTS 3: Crystal Delay (on by default) – this delay creates an awesome Shimmer reverb sound.
4. EFFECTS 4: Dual Delay – 8th and dotted 8th (on by default)

MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb morph adds more shimmer, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.
