My Kemper doesn't sound right

padella31 · Dec 29th 2019

greetings all,

I just bought 2 weeks ago the non powered toaster with remote.

I'm using it mostly with headphones connected via S/pdfi to a presonus quantum 2 interface at 96hz.

It doesn't really sound good to my hear very digital I shall say, not sure if because my initial set up is not right, or the S/pdif make it sound that way.

Can someone help with this? Should I set it up not via s/pdif?

Also how should I set the main volume input to be right?

I'm trying to archive David Gilmour hiwatt sound , any suggestions on how to do this?

And finally for Gilmour sound what's the best preset out there?

Tha ks very much indeed.

Hi!

Did you change the clock rate in the Kemper. It defaults to 44.1k.

padella31 · Dec 29th 2019

Good day deadpan, thanks for your reply, yes I did change it.

When i have a clock mismatch I hear a very digital sounds as you mention.

Does it sound good through the Kemper headphone out?

padella31 · Dec 29th 2019

the same as the interface actually.

And I just checked the clock it is indeed set at 96hz

what are the best tube clean amp for Gilmour sound?

Also anyone knows where I could download stompbox like pro co rat cornish muff, etc....

Also, check your Output settings to make sure they're Master Stereo (or Master Mono, if that's your preference).

padella31 · Dec 29th 2019

yes I have them all on master stereo.

Stomps are not profiled individually. Those are traditionally modeled . Unless they’re part of an amp profile, you can’t add them.

I don't know if these will be right for you but there's a new Rig Pack from Kemper called "Willi Dammeier" including some Hiwatt profiles.

Kempermaniac, thank you I will check them out! I appreciated your reply and help.

Amp Factory profiles Gilmore's Hiwatt. I think it's in pk2 . He was giving away the Gilmour effects settings with it.. Worth checking out

I had a look on their website and can't find any Gilmour reference. Any suggestion? Cheers

If this link doesn't work, search for "HiWatt 1970." I have this pack and it sounds great.

It's super super important that you set your audio interface to slave mode in the clocking preferences. You will get all sorts of weird artefacts along with the tone if this isn't the case. It improves the sound drastically.
