  • Kemper II with synth-module

    @Sharry


    Probably you interested in these company: I dont have there NU-Pickups (yet) but there XR which are the best I have ever tried with variable resonance frequency and peak.
    For me they are going in much more details than any other company with there design, it is open source and hardware, so if you produce it by yourself you can do it, but honestly that will be tough task for normal people like me.


    please check their website on your own: http://www.cycfi.com/
    there is a facebook group too
    The owner response very fast and he knows a lot, he does not care about opinion he prefers the scientific way.

  • Share your new delay settings

    The new delays are great, is there maybe a chance to get a guitar doubler out of it? Because with the new delays there are new options to get many delay lines with amplitude modulation, time modulation and changing the stereo field.
    Maybe I am wrong, but a sound tinker is already on working on that.

  • Kemper tuner for intonation

    I fixed it today. Took me many hours to redrill holes and modify saddles and reinstall bridge.
    It looks like my guitar luthier did not install it properly. Thanks to Schaller who sent me some bridge replacement parts.
    Very kind!


    Thx for your help!


    Now it so much fun to play!

  • Kemper tuner for intonation

    A shim extends your scale length by pushing your headstock (hole neck of course) back a little bit. It creates are neck - body angle which is common on Les Pauls.
    The shim must be on the bridge-side of the neck heel.
    But it does not help you if the frets are the issue. My saddles are all the way back and I got still between +4 and +8 for the fretted 12. fret-tone.
    The frets are out of stainless steel, 3 years old and look like new.

  • Kemper tuner for intonation

    Guys, thx for the input
    millstudios: Whats your difference about fretted note and flagoulett note in percentage on your guitars? (12. fret)
    Per: Yes I did some setups on my own before, with an increasing learning curve. I know the basics. The strings are 2 days old.


    I know how the truss should be adjusted, I read some books and ofc watched all videos of FruduaTv (neck 10x faster is a awesome tip btw) and many of WillsEasyGuitar.
    I use a metal string action ruler for measurement. The neck is very straight with light relief.



    low E string:
    1. fret 0,5 mm
    12 fret 1,25 mm
    21 fret 1,75 mm


    I press only slightly on my frets for the intonation process, only hard enough to get the tone.
    I am still thinking about a shim, because it would make sense to me. If the strings are higher than normal I would have to press much more down, which is also sharpens the tone.

  • Kemper tuner for intonation

    I am not expert, in most tutorial they advice to use such tools.


    I guess it will work with the kpa. I measured the distance between the fret and the downside of the low e-string on first and last fret and there is a huge difference.


    1 fret: 0.25 mm
    21 fret: 1.75 mm


    This is not normal right? The fretboard should be nearly parallel to the strings.


    The difference is (I guess) much too big. I guess i have to shim my guitar, god thanks it is a bolt on neck.

  • Kemper tuner for intonation

    yes, I adjusted the truss rod before I tried to correct the intonation.


    What I want to know if there it is possible to do this task with the kemper tuner.
    It will be perfect, if somebody with a professionell tuner can tell me how accurate the kpa respond is for that.


    The only difference when i move the saddles is that i have to retune my flagolett tone (and open string) but the tune difference of the flagolett tone and fretted tone stays the same.
    I will give tomorrow another try.


    What do you guys do measure with your guitars?

  • Kemper tuner for intonation

    hi,


    I dont have an expansive tuner at home.
    I would like to know if it can be used to setup my intonation.


    It is a guitar with Hannes Schaller bridge and earvana nut.


    This is how i do it:
    tune the strings
    play flageolett on 12 fret
    play fretted 12 fret


    It looks like that the saddles on the bridge dont have any impact on the intonation. I moved them up and down, no change.
    I get something like 0 with flageloett tone and +16 with fretting the 12th fret.
    I should move the saddles back to lower the fretted tone, but it does not change. I am already on maxium setting.
    Is this normal?


    thanks Dom

  • Which pickup with your Kemper: The pickup database, with audio clips

    Hi,


    I have / had a similar idea, but I think it is much easier to make it like them:
    http://www.sevenstring.org/for…ckup-di-track-thread.html


    Make a clip of your pickup play some chords. Make an EQ curve with Ozone with it and apply it to your pickup with an Studio EQ or something else.





    Here is a german book about which is written by scientist about where the guitar sound is coming from and how it works. https://hps.hs-regensburg.de/~elektrogitarre/ (With Blindtests) The biggest impact has the pickup and the electronic circuit. If you change a 500k Pot to a 250k pot your sound will be warmer, because you loose a lot of highs. Different wood do not change your guitar sound significant, so you cant tell it on A/B Blindtest. Many people from the industry get a golden donkey with that rumour or just repeat what other people are telling them.

  • guitar pickups profiling ?

    Quote from paults

    Well... the Kemper company has gone beyond modeling with amps. Perhaps, they could eventually do the same thing with pickups <img src="https://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/wcf/images/smilies/smile.png" alt=":)" />


    This shouldnt be a problem if you have Pickups with a high resonance frequency. You can use PUs with lower resonance frequency as well, but they are limited. It is better to cut frequencies than to boost. All you need will be a resonant high cut. At the moment i use the Studio EQ with bell EQ and a high cut. There are some PU charts in the Internet. My personal experience is and I tested it, that the resonance frequency has the highest impact on sound, than the amount of resonance (db). With the same setting the difference between Single Coil and Humbucker is very little. I tested it with a SVF (state variable filter), it is a circuit to change the frequency and the mount. So i installed a Single Coil and Humbucker in my guitar to see how big the difference really is.

    Quote from MrVivz

    Question: Anyone tried tonematching Eq software like iZotope Ozone to match certain pickups? Get the right settings to match it, and put it on EQ slots before the amp section?


    Wouldn't be perfect but worth a try?
    Edit : Hmmm, Pete proposed that kind…


    I tried 2 days ago and I got a very nice metal tone.


    Here is a database, with DI Tracks I will test more in near future :thumbup:
