Hello expert kemper people!
I just got a kemper head, but I'm having trouble getting my guitar to sound well with mid to high gain settings. I made a quick recording here:
I have looked through other threads on this topic and have tried the following:
* bunch of different rigs, similar story (the recording above uses two different rigs -- AC top boost cactus, and one of the high gain EVH ones)
* different TRS cables
* listening through headphones plugged into the headphone jack in the front of the kemper sounds pretty similar to what you hear in my recording (which I did via a USB interface)
* messing with the volume on my guitar, different pickups (guitar is an Epiphone LP, which I've played through various amps without any problems in the past)
* turning off all the lights in the room
* kemper is plugged into the wall directly, not going through an extension cord
* tried messing with the pure cab setting and space setting
* tried listening with two different headphones (ATH-M50x and HD 280 Pro)
* input and output lights are green at all times
* tried plugging into the alternate input in the back -- even noisier
* tried adjusting the noise gate
* tried adjusting the distortion sens
The one thing that kinda sorta helped was to add an EQ in the effects section, but it still doesn't sound quite right. Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a second guitar to try it out.
Thanks in advance!
