I tried "how to make a million bucks on a Kemper". It only directed me to bitcoin. But the Profiler doesn't have a graphics card yet.

lol

I'm new to KPA, 3 weeks in, and when ever i want to learn something about the Kemper, i go to YouTube, and type in,

" how to whatever you need on a Kemper", and a bunch of videos will pop up, and at least 2 or 3 will be exactly what i was looking for.

Good to know for later experimentation, it's always nice when someone stumbles upon some simple, but out of the box tweaks.

I have laptops that are 15 years old loaded with Windows 98 and still work fine -and I live in Texas.

I didn't say anything about a laptop, i'm talking about a KPA non powered, vs a KPA powered version, and the extra heat from the power amp.

Just saying that an amps extra heat may be a problem in long term use is all. Just speculation.

Mine is cumbersome, using 2 heads, and 2/ 4x12 cabs, I get the same results everywhere, and if anything happens to the Kemper, i can plug right into the front of my amps, and keep going.

Lol. Yes! I have a 40 year old solid state Marshall Lead 12 that still works like it's brand new.

You forget that the KPA is basically a computer, and processors hate heat.

I like my Toaster with the open back, great for storing my cables during transport in it's case... lol

Why not use L and R main outs on TS? That's how mine is setup into DAW.

Well, i use the same as if i'm playing live to record, and this way it leaves the mains to run to the house.

The only difference is, instead of running them to my interface, they go to my amps FX return.

When i record in stereo, i use TS connects,

1 monitor out, set for L channel, and 2 Direct out set as R channel into my interface.

balance the output levels on the Kemper so they are the same, and make final tweaks in the DAW.

What i have to do is start the KPA, then plug into my USB on my PC, then open my RM,

If i start RM 1st, it doesn't read my KPA when i plug it in.

You've got the EVH tone nailed. Now, try to get the Tom Scholz -Boston tone nailed so we can copy your settings!

That could be fun, i did see a few out there that sounded dead on, by Top Jimi, but i never tested it myself.

I did get his VH pack, but the low end was real mushy too me, VH had a very tight bottom, also the way you strike the string has a lot to do with it, kind of like SRV, you can get his tone, but if your not slamming the strings like SRV, it won't sound like SRV.

You might be able to use something like a Roku type device in the Ethernet port for a wireless unit.

Nice! You got some Eddie in your fingertips.

The brown sound is no longer illusive anymore. We need to come up with a new sound no one can figure out.

I know what ya mean, but growing up with this tone in my head, is compared with everything i have heard, but nothing makes the hair on my arms stand up like this tone. Being new to Kemper, maybe i will mess around with a few things, i like some of the spacey type settings for clean tone, plus i haven't done any testing with my acoustic guitar yet, and i'm only 2 weeks in, still learning..

Sounds spot on mate

Thank you, It's a modified profile i got from Ola Englund. I changed a few things,

EQ settings, Delay, and reverb settings, added the Phase shifter, and Flanger to the preamp section, not used in the video.

Still need to play with it a little, as some songs had a ton of reverb, and later on other didn't,

Also added a bit of chorus in the post section, for later VH stuff.

This my 1st time recording with my Kemper, so i thought i would kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

I ran a line from the monitor out to my 5150 FX return to my Marshall 4x12, using a SM 57 then to my interface. This is my Right Channel.

2nd line out from my Direct out to my interface, this is the Left channel.

If mine goes down, i just pull out my small pedal board, and run it in the front of the amps.

This rig is not load in and out friendly, but outstanding when it comes to tone.

New KPA owner, and i run a stereo setup. and if it goes down for any reason, i just plug into the front and keep on playing.

I'm new here, and it my 1st post.

I just bought a new KPA, and had it a little over a week.

I am running it in stereo, Monitor out L to my 5150 FX return, Direct out R to my Marshall JCM 2000 FX return.

It sounds awesome. Was playing at the Bar last night, and it's plenty loud enough.
