Kemper Amps Forum

Well it may be that you just dislike the sound of the amp which was profiled not necessarily how it was mic'd etc.... just sayin. But on a more positive note I CANNOT wait to get my Kemper especially after watching the review you posted Jon.
Thx,

It would be awesome if when a profiles site goes up eventually it would be attached to a server that would run a script on upload to re-amp a simple clean guitar riff or two for each profile uploaded automatically through a KPA and encode and upload the resulting file as an MP3 next to each profile, and offer tags, comments and voting on the profiles.

Or failing that if the site would provide a set of standard test signals that users could reamp themselves using the profile and add to the profile page.

Either way it would save a lot of time and browsing.

Wow!! Agree with you that it would be awesome, but to realize something like that yyou would at least need a VST version of the Kemper. Cannot see how to do it otherwise..

Download every Profile and check them out for yourself....don't be lazy.
It takes a few seconds to download the files, copy them to a USB stick and import into the Kemper.

One man's incredible Profile is another man's POS.
Sometimes what appears to be a POS Profile turns out to be a gem after 30 seconds of tweaking just the EQ and Gain knobs.

If our laziness continues, pretty soon we'll be hiring a guitarist to come play for us whilst we sit on the couch playing with our IPhones listening to him playing through our gear.

Oh come now, that's a pretty facetious argument! Not downloading and checking them all out isn't about being lazy, it's about having time and being practical. Pretty soon there will be tens of thousands of profiles up there, and even thousands for each amp and mic combo. It's just not feasible to go through them all. Some of us have limited time.

There's no pride in stifling progress and certainly no integrity to be gained giving yourself more work than necessary by having to download and install a thousand profiles on a KPA to find the one that you like, you can't seriously be arguing that pushing fewer buttons on a computer would make you a lesser guitarist can you?

Computers are here to make your life easier and help facilitate creativity (and less time wasted) the KPA is proof of this. This is brand new technology and a brand new website, now is simply not the time to be a luddite and set in your ways already! Good GUI and workflow don't stop you from expressing yourself, but it's equally important to understand that they wont help you be a better artist either, good tool design is simply about not getting in your way. There is no way that a better website or interface for browsing KPA presets is ever going to have any impact on your ability or integrity as a guitarist (or person).

@Guitarnet70 - It wouldn't need a VST version, just a Kemper connected to a computer via an interface and the ability to upload profiles via USB (and not require a restart). But it would really help out to be able to hear roughly what a profile sounds like and see others reviews of the sound, especially given the time it takes currently.
