weird. I always found that rolling the guitar volume back on a Marshall always made the sound ‘duller’ losing the top end edge/fizz. Even a small adjustment can take the edge off. I’ve played on plexis, master volumes and 800s for many years and with a Les Paul and set them up with that in mind. The old ‘switch to the rhythm pickup on 3’for clean sounds had to be set up first to make sure it wasn’t too dull ..just my experience with Les Paul’s mind. I’ve no idea how other guitars change the sound.

One of the very few things that I don't like about the KPA is that the tone doesn't change when I roll back my guitar's volume. I know that is a good thing for a many players but a lot of amps, particularly non-master volume amps like 4 input Marshalls and tweed Fenders, brighten up when you roll back the guitar's volume when the amp is cranked. The KPA doesn't do that. The tone stays the same. I think that may be what Richard Fortus is talking about.

I love the legends pack. Lots of great stuff going on with them

Always makes me laugh when peeps spend a fortune on a new Martin guitar the go along to an open mic where they plug it into a pa where it sounds no better than my cheap Simon and Patrick. Acoustics plugged in sound crap. I can’t see the kemper acoustic sim sounding worse than that for sure

I think it’s a matter of what you are used to. The guitarist who learns his art on a kemper etc is probably starting from a better situation because he never Spent years playing with the amp in the room sound. He therefore never has a problem. The other guy( like me). Spent many years playing the amp in the room. To folks who regard it as a bar band sound. It took a long time to get used to playing without that amp in the room sound to play to what everyone else considers to be a much more professional sound.

You never realize quite how brilliant the kemper is until you profile something yourself. That’s the only time you get to do a direct comparison. And the only time you get the chance to realize that there is no comparison. I laugh to myself every time I hear someone say their axefx(insert any other modeler here) sounds more amp like. Without having exactly the amp modeled next to their axefx. It’s complete nonsense.

I have a pair of line 6 powerCabs. Will be interesting to see if a speaker change is an easy proposition.

Hi. I have a keeper stage and a pair of line 6 power cabs. They work very well together. However being the curious type I wonder if there will be much difference between the powercab speakers and the kemper kone. I’m always going to have the itch to install kemper kone drivers into the power cabs.

Hi folks. Any profile suggestions for a Tremonti type live tone?
-
He plays with a thumbpick so its probably got a lot to do with technique

Just bought the crank n go pack yesterday afternoon. Did a gig tonight using the Friedman performance included just as is with no modifications at all. Les Paul as main guitar and a tele for more pop stuff. Sounded absolutely fantastic. Big grin on my face all night.

Ive done DI profiles with a Palmer, a hotplate and a cheap Behringer active DI box. The Behringer gave by far the best results.
-
Hey Pete,
Any chance of you doing some DI profiles of your Bogner Ecstacy with the hotplate
I have the full set of your regular profiles, but when playing live I only use DI profiles and would love to have access to some Bogner tones. -
Do a search on the rig exchange for sheguitarplayer, you will find some of my DI profiles of the EVH5150.
-
Did you do the di profiles using a DI box or from the amp fx loop?
-
Ive also found that if you change the rig in one of the slots, it keeps the name of the former rig in the slots.
