Saw there were updated posts on this thread and thought CK had maybe commented re the dead LED issue.

But no.

I'm surprised CK hasn't commented yet!

And it looks to me to be an asterix (not a 'little man')!

To be honest I really don't understand the failure rate with these LED's on the Kemper. As others have mentioned, LED's are notoriously robust and we should be surprised that anyone's LED's have gone on their Kemper, never mind multiple LED's on multiple Kempers.

Not sure if CK has commented on this but it sure would be good if he could (especially if it is putting people off from buying a Kemper)

10 of my LED's have now gone (lunchbox version). Every 12 O'Clock position on the bass, middle, treble and presence knobs, one on the gain control and 5 on the Volume knob.

Bought mine from guitarguitar.co.uk so will have to try and sort a return at some point, just don't want to be without the Kemper for the length of time it may be gone for.

Really looking forward to trying these Joptunes, your other Coyote profiles are fantastic.

Thanks for taking the time to do these Tim. Spent 4 hours last night just playing with a few of these profiles, unaware of how much time had gone by.

Really dynamic sounding (can go from clean to heavy OD with just pick control). Covers a huge amount of ground just with a single profile, strat and volume control. Some great Blackmore strat tones too.

why not, it's a matter of seconds.

I may be wrong but I don't think Lobster56 is talking about the time it would take to get all the rigs. I think he means he only wants a few rigs from the factory included rigs and therefore doesn't want to be limited in not being able to install a particular rig/rigs and not just all of them.

Thanks for sharing these Sam, excellent, very dynamic profiles.

A real pedal (Analogman sunface or Hartman vintage germanium). The only built-in fuzz stompbox I use is the Muff.

I just use a fuzzface in front of the Kemper. Can still get that wonderful cleanup with the guitars vol pot.

The fuzz also works very differently with different profiles (as it should).

These profiles are great Dr Ohm. Thanks for taking the time to profile and share.

I would have thought as USB has Mhz of bandwidth that 98khz audio would be fine. Does the Focusrite have USB out ?

Yeah, the focusrite has a USB out to connect it to your MAc/PC.

How did the set up go ?
When you say optical in. Do Macs have optical in ?

No, the new iMac's do not have an optical /SPDIF input, so getting the USB focusrite gives my a direct input to my Mac from the Kemper.
Tried a bit of recording last night and it all worked well (just had to reduce the SPDIF output level in the Kemper to -2dB to avoid clipping in the DAW).

I just bought a Focusrite 8i6 for the same reasons as you, to give me an optical input to my mac for use with the Kemper (and also to output the sounds to my studio monitors.

Only set it up last night. Took 5 minutes and everything appears to be working from the Mac side of things. Tonight I'll connect the Kemper up and try recording something.

Will this work with Apple stuff?

thanks

I'd like to know too, but I'm guessing 'no' as the file is an exe file.

Me too. I've now only got about a third of the LED's left around the rig volume knob and a few gone elsewhere.

This link was posted a while back. Fantastic tone. The closest I've got to that tone was using a 59 Bassman profile from The Amp Factory.

So it seems KPA guys are not novices in digital world.
Only 2 of us

4 of us now.

I was fully in the 'we don't need no steenking digital shit' brigade previously.

Which has now sold.
