Yeah, that's Ibanez PGM301 Paul Gilbert singature in my avatar. It costed me ~1000USD in 2008 and lot of blood, tears and desperation since that time. I looks gorgeous, I was astonished by Paul's playing, I even learnt to play 2 songs (but without solos), but never came any further, and not sure if ever will.

However PGM301 stays with me, even if I just looked at it ? because I'm playing strat right now.

My take on singatures was that you don't have to be B.B.King, or Jimi Hendrix. Of course it's up to company's marketing strategy. But what if Mercedes came out with C180 Adele Edition? ? I'm sure AMG owners would feel weird ?

Yes you've got it exactly. I think I'm in charge of what Kemper do with their business...

Hi jonwrightguitar - smells like dictatorship.

Let's leave it that way.

Good one Per, although I am not target here Because what is lonely heart? A heart that is missing other "half"? Such heart will always be lonely and it will attract other "halves". And what if suddenly the other "half" leaves? Are you again lonely heart?

True love starts when you are full and complete. When you have love for yourself in your heart - not narcissism, egoism or boosted ego. This is when life directs you to places and situations, where you can find the other full heart.

It may sound more complex, than C++ code of profiling algorithm, but this is how it's done

Hey nothing wrong with a Yamaha THR!!!

Indeed!!! I was lucky to buy THR30II before it became unavailable recently and since I started using it, I'm not touching my Kemper. In fact Kemper is sitting in the wardrobe for half a year now, because I had room/desk rearrangement. It doesn't mean that I won't use Kemper or it's worse than THR. Simply the convenience of using THR and the sound it produces, made me want to play on it over and over.

Biggest advantage of THR vs Kemper?

1) Boots up in 1 sec.

2) Has built in speakers

3) Works on battery, so I can move it around

Like I said, I'm not going to sell Kemper, it's a different type of device and it's been serving me well. It's just that THR was great buy. Even the look of THR makes me want to plug my strat and play it:

What other scale is there?

Hahahaha, it's E pentatonic major, which I barely (consciously) touched, because once you let yourself soak into improvising music, you don't think what is the scale you just enjoy being a part of you playing the guitar

Quote from jonwrightguitar

Well, I don't agree with 1, at all! For example they could set up repair services in other countries instead of..........

Are you serious jonwrightguitar ?

Do you think you are in charge of saying, what other company should/could do with their business?

I've got another solution for you: set up a company, which is repair service center for Kemper in UK. I'll guarantee you, you're case would be sorted out swiftly.

What a load of brexit drama

Quote from V8guitar

skoczy I know you know all of this as you have been part of the Kemper group for sometime but for me this was the revelation. That "magic" I was prepared to compromise because I'd take the best FOH sound over on stage sound. . As long as its sounds good enough not to put me off and inspire then for me its the way to go. With a regular amp, you have no choice but to get the best on stage sound and hope it translates well through a PAInterestingly, only Kemper tries to solve that problem with a dedicated cab.

I can fully agree V8guitar - FRFR vs tube amps is like convenience vs "this_sound". I don't know if it matters, but I have never played on stage, so I didn't have a chance to compromise. But I think you'll agree, how the Amp In The Room can be inspiring. And when you do something and you get instant inspiration, you're in loop of doing it. When you try 100's of devices and FRFR solutions and all you get is flat sound, one can get in the end desperated.

But I dealt with this in other way. Knowing that in my current situation is not gonna change now, I changed.

I started playing E pentatonic scale over and over. Beating it to the death. After 6 months of daily practicing and improvising on SOLID STATE Yamaha THR desktop amp, I'm in guitar heaven. I can play with closed eyes and make funny faces, unexpected bends or not playing a note for 1 bar and be happy.

Still I know Amp In The Room can be very inspiring, but lack of it shouldn't stop you from playing and improving.

Quote from Per

Thank-you skoczy I need to practice at playing a lot tighter for this style, arrangement is also much harder than I expected. The guitars want to take up so much of the space.

Surely Per self awareness is the key to becoming better and better. But I heard good piece of music. We are our worst judges sometimes. I'm sure more people didn't hear any arrangements issues, even us guitarists. Strive for better also remembering than done is better than perfect.

Quote from Per

Thanks guys!

skoczy Also I think it’s more artifice than content.

I think the beauty of music is not working with a plan, but letting oneself be spontaneous. This applies to life as well. What destroys fun of music in my opinion is scales and all the math C5m7Add13 - music and life is about feeling, not that much thinking. Kids more feel than think and look how happy and kind they are.

To me it seems like firmware issue, maybe factory reset could be enough, but I would contact Kemper Support swiftly anyway -> https://www.kemper-amps.com/contact

To summarize everything

1. Have a nice weekend and sorry if I came across arrogant ?

No harm done, no need to be sorry, have nice weekend.

Quote from tenderboy

Of course. Because they have completely different dispersion characteristics. And by that they interact differently with your room.

The "beam" is different on both speakers. The felt lowmid bump is different because of that too.

The highs from about 2khz on the DXR are played by the tweeter.

The 12" Jensen plays all frequencies from his one cone.

I don't think it's about dispersion, although I'm know it works differently in FRFR vs Guitar Cabs.

Quote from b_ryan

1) Why can’t a man cry about the things you mention? Who are you to judge what is right and wrong in circumstances you might not understand? What academic degree or knowledge do you possess to claim that position? You see….I wonder about people of your kind, who believes they carry the truth around. It must be nice.

2) If you saw the video, you will know that he also dives into the UPS situation. And I already explained why going after Brexit or customs and tax laws have no relevance here. No need to go further into that.

1) Men can cry for whatever reason, it's just beta males, that cry because of the paper work they have to do. Still this is my opinion you may find it masculine and responsible

2) Why then this video is titled "Kemper You S*ck" not "UPS You S*ck" - maybe because to get attention and justify own anger

By the way the rules and taxes and not fixed forever. They were fixed differently whilst UK was in EU. They are fixed differently, when UK decided to live on their own - which I respect.

Have a wonderful Sunday

Quote from b_ryan

2) He actually does precisely that. Didn’t you see the video?

But why he titled video "Kemper You S*ck" not "UPS You S*ck" or "Brexit You S*ck"

Quote from b_ryan

A man can cry wherever he wants to.

Even when he is late for the train? When he doesn't get promotion at a job? This is what generation of snowflakes do.

Being grown man responsible for your life and choices doesn't mean you cannot cry, when you loose parents, it doesn't mean you can not show your emotions to your woman and kids.

But moaning in front of camera, that according to the mess in customs law, you have to pay tax is childish as it can get. In my opinion off course. You may find it very masculine.

It's not silly messing around. It's great piece of music.

Hi Per I listen you from time to time and I wonder, how are you able to come up with so much music and from different genres. Your musical fecundity really amazes me. I wonder if it is result of how much music you heard of your imagination. Probably mix of both

This piece reminds me some good old Pearl Jam from Vitalogy/Yield era.

I wonder when companies start making signature guitars for Jeffrey Sfeffenson.

You don't know him? Let me tell you the story:

"Jeffrey Steffenson lives in suburbs of Kentucky, he was a student of a musical school, but dropped it after two years.

He now works as a clerk in an investment bank, makes average yearly income. He bought used red Jackson SL1 from 2007 with basswood body and maple fretboard, but struggles to learn pentatonic."

Back in the days, you had to be Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, SRV with significant legacy to get signature guitar.

And don't buy signatures, don't try being "that" rockstar, it's worth only being yourself in life, which most people miss doing, having in result miserable experience.

For those wondering, Jeffrey Steffenson is a fictional character, made up for this case.

Quote from b_ryan

Can you elaborate on where you feel, that he could have done things differently?

Can you elaborate on where you feel, he as a costumer has to put the blame on himself?

1) If he voted for Brexit, he could haven't voted for Brexit.

2) Maybe taking blame on himself does not make a sense, but he could put blame on UK tax and customs authorities and UPS. Why not trying to fight on all fronts?

In the end, grown man don't cry in front of cameras, this is a sing of immaturity.

Quote from tenderboy

The difference between one small 10 inch speaker versus four bigger 12 inch speakers .... thats almost 6 times more vibrating and air moving surface.

I bet if I had four DXR10 cabs it would still be flat, but louder than one DXR10.

You can have 1 fender Deluxe Reverb with 12" Jensen speaker and have amp in the room. You can have 4x DXR12 and still sound flat, but "louder" than Deluxe Reverb.

Quote from OneEng1

I do wonder how many people take a Kemper, add a Kab, then mic the Kab? Seems like a perversion of the intent to me, but for some players, the amp-in-the-room feeling is a must. Me, I just want the band to sound great together (I also am the lead singer and the one who knows the PA ... and owns it).

It has been my experience that guitar players are the MOST prone to wanting to hear "their tone" on stage and the most difficult to teach about what the audience hears.

do you own(ed)/play(ed) Kabinet by the way?
