It seems that this thread didn't generate much reactions... But for canadian buyers it could be interesting to know the answer I got from the Kemper sales department. They said that the prices in CAD are not based on the conversion rate but fixed as they are for no reason. So I assume that we have to pay about 17% more for no reason at all... And, of course, it is impossible to pay in other currencies which would have been a good alternative.

Maybe there is an explanation but why canadian buyers have to pay more than all others, I mean in canadian dollars? For example we have to pay about $170.00 CAD more for a Kemper Power Kabinet than the exchange rate would suggest which is not the case for the US dollars or Euros etc.. So maybe there are fees that Kemper pays for us that are more expensive than the ones in other country? I don't know it seems to be the only one explanation apart that their exchange rate for CAD is wrong. Of course I sent the question to Kemper but I was wondering if some of you boys and girls are already aware of the answer.

1) Two powered Kabs = less gears to carry
2) Two Kabs + amp = possibility to use any guitar cabs with your Kemper
It all depends on your priority!
I would personnaly choose number 1 cause I'm lazy ........

Hello! Am I stupid, could anyone tell me where I can find the Rig Manager 3.2???
It's not on the download page. I can't find it. Thanks in advance!
Did you try to update from Rig Manager? You have to go to File then Preferences and you mark ''include beta test releases'' and it should work.
-
yes it just felt loose and flubby. Maybe in a little bigger cabinet would help, but the Kab I built is the exact size of the Kemper Kabinet
Interesting. I assume it would not sound very well then with my Enzo Meris synth pedal,

''Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like the KONE holds together with the organ patches with my GR55 guitar synth''
Even when you use the Kone in full range setting?
-
Its not a bug but a deliberate change. I don’t understand why but it is apparently part of a larger project according to Burkhard
Thanks for the clarification! I'm very curious about what kind of feature this change could announce!

Hi everybody,
Have the beta firmware and congrats to Christoph and everyone at Kemper, the fuzzes are excellent.
I have a question about a possible bug (feature?). When I turn the EQ of using the soft button on my non-powered head, the Amplifier turns off as well (same with just turning off the Amplifier, the EQ turns off). Indeed, they seem to be linked. Was this a change I missed somewhere? Sorry if it's already been discussed.
Yes, same here. I think I read somewhere that it's a known bug or a voluntarily change made for a future feature but I can't find the post about it for the moment.

No.
I,personally believe and say the most easy thing is to have the right rig with a nice tele or strat for this glassy sound.I have a nice mbritt vintage fender rig with a treble booster and this is all I need exactly for this thing.
But for some people..obviously they "feel better" with the fuzz and rolling back their volume knob.This is how they get this sound for a long,long time.Some lads for decades now.
As funny as it sounds dear @CK (and I say this without irony) some lads in this huge guitarverse will never change the way they'll get their sound.Give them what they want.
This is all I say.To each his own.If it can be done..it is just one more preset.
I should add to this that it is not just a matter of getting this glassy clean tone but also all the tones you get between a germanium fuzz at full and progressively rolling off your volume pot. Using a germanium fuzz this way has something very organic in the feel and is a lot of fun to play.
Creating a rig with this behavior using a morph pedal would be absolutely great!
-
This is one of these snake oil tips, similar to selling anti aging cream with ingredience of greenland glacier ice, to be applied at full moon.
1. Take a germanium fuzz (silicon would not make it ..)
2. put nothing inbetween
3. turn down volume pot.
That's the secret to get that tone. What a BS!
Dear digital guitarists,
The glassy strat is just a result of changing the tone by something like an equalizer.
- Don't use a fuzz just to achieve a glassy clean sound.
- Increase Amp Definition of your clean profile
- or try a Treble Booster in front of the Amp
- or use an equalizer in front of the Amp to lower the bass frequencies.
So I assume that it would be possible to start from a full germanium fuzz setting to a glassy clean progressively by using a morph pedal with the parameters you suggest here correctly set? It would be great if it works! I will have to try it because maybe I don't need my Sunface anymore!
-
Yes.
Do you have a Stage with true impedance setting as mention by waraba?
-
Does the germanium fuzz setting works for the amazing glassy clean tone you get when you max out the fuzz and turn down your volume pot?
-
Considering that there are no videos on the internet that will give to the listeners the real feel and tone of an amp or a digital box I found this video as very interesting because of its ''non-bias'' and ''no paid for'' context blind test of both units.
-
Pick909 That's cool, everyone is different. I'm not saying it's totally crap or unusable. It just isn't at the heirarchical level I like. It's definitely designed to be easy to use, but that ease costs some expressivity IMHO.
Now... if there were 4 morph controllers, and you could assign each one to it's own expression pedal, and then each parameter got assigned to 1 of the 4 morph controllers.. we might be cooking with gas then!
Ok, If for you the paradigm is to be able to use several expression pedals to control independantly each parameter then I understand that the morphing feature can be a downside for you. I'm on the absolute opposite and like to have one wah and one expression pedal and the fact that I can control a lot of parameters with the same pedal with a surgical precision for each is a real must for me. The best solution for both would be the possibility to use several morph pedals and it could be an upgrade for Kemper to consider.
-
To my knowledge the morphing feature in the Kemper is the easiest, most flexible and most powerfull way to control parameter with an expression pedal I found in any devices I tried and used. In fact I would have a very hard time now using a device without this amazing feature.

In all that videos it always interests me , how the Kemper is amplified (poweramp + cab, powered speakers, PA speakers)
1:35 BadCat
1:41 Kemper profile
They sound the same, but we hear amp in the room and Kemper amplified with?
Very interesting indeed! I didn't notice at the time and was just floored. They sound sooo the same they have to be heard from the same cab.

Got mine somewhere in 2012 after watching this Nashville Badcat session:

You'll find threads and comments from me going back to 2011/2012, where I spoke about palm mute response on the Kemper and lack of accuracy. It's not a new thing and it's nothing to do with buying new toys. I have plenty of toys!
If you found what you're looking for in the QC I'm happy for you and I mean it! What I meant is that I personnaly don't see a so call ''game changer'' in this device that would urge me to make the change from my trusty Kemper that's it!
-
Like the vast majority of users I mostly use commercial profiles from people who know how to make it right and I'm pretty sure it will be the same on the QC users side. So, why the easiness to profile seems to be so important all of a sudden? It's certainly not a reason to make me swap my Kemper for the new toy absolutely not. But, you know, people like buying new toys and there is nothing wrong with it!

$B0 == CC message so just ommit all B0. Select CC message. Next byte is CC number and next is the Value.
So set is as follows:
MSG1
$B0 $63 $04
Type:CC Number: 0x63 hex (or 99 decimal) Value: 04 hex(4 decimal)MSG2
$B0 $62 $41
Type:CC Number: 0x62 hex (or 98 decimal) Value: 41 hex(65 decimal)
MSG3
$B0 $06 $00
Type:CC Number: 0x06 hex (or 6 decimal) Value: 00 hex(0 decimal)
MSG4
$B0 $26 $01 (0x00 for off)
Type:CC Number: 0x26 hex (or 38 decimal) Value 01= on 00 =off
You have to use Decimal notation in the editor so use Calculator in windows to convert from Hex($) vlues.
I belive you have to set Toggle mode on. on Pos1 and Pos2 por MSG 1,2,3 the same value . For MSG4 pos1 (Value 0) Pos 2 (value 1). I'm just guessing so you have to check this with your device manual.
IT WORKS !!! Thank you so much DanienGreda for your help, it was the final piece of my RIG !! And, in bonus, I learned how NRPN works and how to enter values! Great!! And thank you too schoko, what a good community in this Kemper forum!
