Ambient tone with the kemper (wanted)

Have your attempts ended up sounding more like U2?

These aren't guitar sounds, are they?

The good news is: the Kemper can do some non-guitar sounds.

Here are some starting points I can suggest. Try to tweak the existing FX/EQ/Amp and Cab parameters on the below Rig Exchange suggestions to get closer to the original non-delayed part of these examples, and then add the ambient delays and reverb.

Percussive attack sounds:
Zeppelin Rhodes 2
Fender Rhodes Piano
Kemper Banjo

If you also are interested in the slower attack sounds:
Ensemble Synth pault
Vowelotron2

If you are talking about the ambience (delay and verb) try high repeats and feedback on delay and cavernous reverb both with a low mix level. Stacked delays with conflicting repeats (times or division) would help but not possible on the KPA without another pedal in the loop.
This may help

we released a FX rig pack a while ago, you can find it in the download section of our website.
the Alien Bender rig still makes me smile.
there are also 'cloud' rigs in the Pitch rig pack.

enjoy!

Never really tried to create ambient tones before, but yesterday this dropped to my mailbox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W86sZ4AcMWQ

So instead of spending 39€ for the advertised EzMix pack, I checked what I can do with the KPA (first run here, these will be further tweaked ;)).

Here is a small test clip recorded directly from the Kemper master stereo out via spdif (only levels/cross-fades are touched in the DAW): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.…919/laardi-ambience-1.mp3

0:00-0:24 just reverb+delay

0:25-0:49 added pitch shift+messed around with the ducking parameters

0:50-1:18 further added some muffin distortion by making use of the "parallel path" option

Need to check that FX rig pack next ...
