The 78 MRK1 Kemper Profile Pack seeks to recreate the sound of a 1978 Mesa Boogie Mark 1 combo amp made by Randall Smith (Initials inside). We profiled 4 different gain structures in this amp combining the its cascading gain stages and gain boost giving 4 unique structures. Combining this with the pull bright switch we shot 40 profiles thru some vintage EV SRO12s mic’d with a Royer 121 and SM545.
