Hi, I presently own the Kemper Head but am interested in upgrading to the Power Head version. I know that you can apply the discount in the online store of 350 Euro off of the 2150 Euro price for a net of 1800 Euro. What I don't quite understand is that is roughly $2550 US...which is essentially what I can buy it for in the US with anyways without a discount. Just wondering where the upgrade savings is supposed to be?

Thanks,

Hi, Is there any app for Mac OS that I can use to do the same thing as WinRAR or Total Commander?

Thanks,

Great, thanks!

I am just wondering if it matters whether I use the main XLR left or right when running to a single active CLR cab? I have 2 and will also be running left/right stereo in a full setup but if I just wanted a simple single CLR setup....what would be the recommended connection?

Thanks,
D

Excellent, thanks

I have gone back and forth between firmware versions numerous times and I am just wanting to update to the newest 2.1.1. I would ideally like to do a factory reset/restore prior to doing the update just to ensure everything is cleaned out. I have backed up all the profiles I have tweaked and care to save.

What is the best way to do a reset/restore? Is it still advisable to do the flash of memory as described here? How to reset your Kemper to factory defaults (I solved all my problems) PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES

awesome, thanks for the info!

With respect to point # 2, I have been disabling the cabsim using the button in the stack section. This is what is interesting....

Option 1 : Default AC30 profile with cab sim off using button in stack section. Sounds great but just a bit blankety....maybe a better description is not open, bright.

Option 2 : Same profile, turn cabsim back on, hold cabinet button, go into cab selection under "from rigs" and change in from the profiled cab to on the of the "pre's" and then save it, and then toggle the cabsim back off using the button in the stack section.

In both cases the the cabsim has been turned off but for some reason Option 2 sounds way better, more open, 3D, brighter, lively etc

Thanks Kempermaniac,

I haven't tried the global monitor EQ however I am presently coming out of the mains in stereo into the Matrix GT1000FX. I will mess around with the EQ. Is there any reason that I should not be using the process above (I know it all comes down to your ears and what sounds best to the user) but is there any technical reason why I shouldn't be using that method.

Although I am using the pwramp and cabs right now I also have 2 x EV ELX112p's that I use for FRFR and I have 2 Atomic CLR powered cabs on order in order to hopefully make the full FRFR transition.

Thanks,

Hi,

I normally run my Kemper into a Matrix GT1000FX and into (2) 2x12 cabs with the cab block/sim off. I use mostly a Vox AC30 type profile for clean to low/medium gain stuff. I notice that even with the cab sim off that there still seems to be some remnants of the cab in the profile "cab driver" that puts a slight blanket over the speaker effect.

Today I tried turning the cab sim back on and changing the cab to something other than what was profiled with the Vox....I switched to one of the pre-amp only rigs which seemed to really open up the sound and remove any blanket over the speaker feeling.

Do this make any sense? Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks,
D

Excellent, thanks for the info guys!

I actually have an essentially brand new Line6 M13 lying around that I suppose I could use as an option as well since it has the looper built in. Not terribly portable though....

Thanks
D

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Looper to use with the Kemper....ie: Boss Loop Station etc. Has there ever been any talk about a looper function being built into the Kemper?

Thanks,
D

I have am wondering if anyone is successfully using the MFC-101 to control their kemper for profile changes and stomps on/off etc?

Thanks,
D

I presently own a Black Kemper Head non-powered. I know there is a program on to get a discount towards a powered unit.

My question is this....If you have the powered head version DO YOU HAVE TO USE the power head or can you still go out to powered monitors, a poweramp such as Matrix or Mesa 2:90 etc...?

I love the thought of having the poweramp built in but I presently own and use EV ELX 112P powered monitors for FRFR and either my Matrix GT1000FX + cabs or the Mesa 2:90 + cabs and would still like to have the flexibility to use all these options.

Thanks,
Derek

Excellent...thanks!

Is it possible to simply rename a rig/profile saved on the USB stick and then load it into the Kemper as opposed to renaming through the front panel?

Thanks,
D

Quote from Burkhard

That is NOT a true statement! Downgrade to 1.7 is blocked under very specific conditions only. Anyhow the latest release is 1.8.2, which could be downgraded to under all circumstances.

To confirm...you can downgrade fro 2.0 to 1.8.2...correct?

Thanks,
D

awesome....thanks guys!!

I have the black lunch box and love it....just wondering if it is possible to ALSO use as an FX only unit and completely bypass profiling for the odd time I would want to use it with a tube combo?

Thanks,
Derek

Excellent, thanks guys!

probably a silly question but is there any way to input music into my kemper to play along with?

I do this with my Axe II via macbook->usb->axe

Thanks,
Derek
