I got the Choptones Bogie JP-2 Just Play Pack (John Petrucci's Mesa stuff), and it is amazing! I had to get used to it at first, and almost gave up on it, but man that pack is pounding!!

Im a newbie...and a frustrated one, but I have heard that saving via USB imports all the settings. That's the only way I save...with a USB.

Given its easier to use than other digital gear, hope you find something easier...

Yes...a Vox handwired AC15 and a Waza CE-2.

sorry to hear that. I hope you find the right solution for you.

out of curiosity, what was it about the Kemper that wasn’t for you?

I think it sounds harsh. There's a weird artificial sound on the high e string on all of my guitars on every patch, especially my Les Paul. It's definitely a marvel of a piece of hardware, but it's just not for me. I actually wrote this post 3 weeks ago, took it back out of the box and am no further with it than I was then.

Scratch that...it's boxed up. I'm sending it back. Kemper not for me.

Can the entire unit be programmed from my Macbook? Is there anything, other than load USB files, I have to do on the actual unit that I can't do on my mac? Stuff like assigning patches to the stomp switches, which I have no idea how to do, etc. I downloaded that owners manual but I don't want to read it. If the whole thing can be setup via my Mac, that would take a great load off...just wondering if it can. Thanks.

Thanks! I need to just keep hacking. That Gundy Gilmour patch in the factory content is just great! I need more stuff like that...more big, low cleans with effects on them. I just picked up a Message In A Bottle pack that should help with cold crunchy chorus, so that should meet a need, but that Gundy Gilmour! lol. You know of any profiles that nail the Paradise City into? Thanks for the reply

I can't get the effects presets and other amps to sound good together. Very muddy and lo-fi sounding. I can't believe the chorus sounds this bad. I emulated a JC120 very well in a recording on a POD 2.0 back in 2001. I can't even get this chorus to sound that good.

...because that would be great? All the old slapback delays, spring reverbs and tremolos with the 50s tube Fender sound! I would assume this has been done, but does anyone know if and who? Thanks.

Ohhh I see! That's cool. They're settings you can apply to different amps. That is super cool. That's like MIDI editability (is that a word?) Thank you!

So when I loaded those factory presets in via USB, the Kemper told me they were already in there, but when I browse, all I see are the third party plugins I have installed. Is there an alternate browser where they would be located?

Thanks for answers!! I will certainly do both of those!

I got a couple of amp packs that I am loving for their high gain rock settings. I am wondering who the experts are when it comes to effects. Things like warm chorus on Paradise City, cold chorus like Andy Summers, hot leads with delay like Steve Vai and Warren Demartini. I'm out there looking! Just wondering if anyone already has the info. Thanks!

Wow...I'll try that Hyperchorus setting! Thanks for this. Some great info. Having a blast with this.

This is a great thread, but the forum auto-recommended I start a new thread. Did everyone come to the conclusion that the Kemper can emulate the Boss CE-2 and the Dimension C and D choruses? Thanks...here's the old thread: Dimension C or D chorus effect

So did everyone come to the conclusion the Kemper can emulate the CE-2 and/or the Dimension stuff?

So...is this thread still alive? A new guy is seriously digging this!

thank you thank you all! Yes...I am loving this powerful unit. So amazed by the sound quality. The version I see is 4.7.1 and a bunch of numbers, so I assume I am close to the latest update! Thanks again for the warm welcomes!

Thanks for the encouragement! I got it all reformatted and ready to go. I had to do it or it would drive me bats not knowing what the presets had to offer. :-/ So far I'm at the Gilmour patch and I can't stop playing on that one. Man it sounds great. Gonna look into those sites GuyJames referred me to. Thanks again all...I'm sure I'll have more questions!

How did it go, Ni6htWalker?
