  • The Stereo Widener is the worst effect on the Kemper Profiler, imho. By using this effect you run into serious phase correlation issues. Not only does the Stereo Widener effect sound terrible (phasey and unbalanced) but it also kills mono compatibility.

    With the "new" reverb types, you have access to the parameter "Stereo" where you can boost the stereo width up to 200% without these serious phase problems. So you rather use this instead of the Stereo Widener. :)

    The stereo widener for sure lowers the stereo corelation. So does the stereo parameter of the reverb.

    The width of the stereo widener should be set carefully for a good stereo image that does not fall apart. This is similar to known MS-effects known in DAWs.


    However, and in contrast to what you say, the stereo widener does not harm the mono compatibility at all. When mixed to mono, the widener has no effect independent of the setting.


    The video has some misleading aspects. He could have opted for any other delay rather than the single delay, to obtain a stereo effect for the delay.
