Time for a bit of philosophy.....
When I was sifting through the feature request wish list it kind of struck me; what kind of gear will the Kemper PA
be when I turn 60 (thats 9 years to be exact)? As I work as a engineer I know that any good product developement is
based on incremental/iterative feature adding until one reach the point where you you can't get further without totally
rewriting the concept paper.So, if we would lift our eyes towards the horizon and maybe give mr Kemper some revolutionary ideas to go,
what do you think are the main features of the Kemper PA (or whatever if it's still around) in 2022?
If we look 10 years back in the mirror, for example the VOX ToneLab was introduced (I had one myself) and we all know
this is obsolete by now. This was a modeling type of device.The one unique idea of the KPA is the profiling concept. This makes it
truly unique apart from the modelers. If we stop at the obsoleted modelers for a while and reflect over them, ask yourselves:
- What was good and what was bad about the particular device
- Why did it become obsolete?
- What type of equipment obsoleted it? Thas maybe several but one good example is enough
- What was the key properties of that, new equipment?
So, when looking at these quiestions and their answers, what does the future hold? Think big, try to imagine the
holy grail of amp techniqe. The one that actually makes you a better player ;). I go first:1. Has built in backtracks and a HDMI output to allow for a screen where you can read the sheetmusic (or tabs)
along with a camera view of the player to show the riffs/licks.
2. Voice control - "Hey, load my XXX rig and turn up the presence two notches. I'll use my Les Paul"!
(maybe a bit silly as its not particulary useful in a gig situation) but great for home pratice and thats
where we spend most of our time don't we
)
3. Better DSPs renders more calculating power. We should be able to mimick some fancy guitar/amp
feedback by then.
I'm sure someone can do better than me in gazing into the future. What will the next unique feature be?
Will it be feedback profiling?
Lets hear it

I also have problems. I cannot log in on the main site to download. The login box appears but the box only contain the email
textbox, no password textbox. When I enter the email adress (I triplechecked...) it says login incorrect. What to do? -
Hello and welcome to Kemperville....

I guess that by pushing that freq into the amp, the distortion will produce a series of overtones that will color the sound nicely, and then remove the unnatural 160Hz peak afterwards while retaining it's overtones.True that!
-
Silly me. I thought this was already accounted for.

A was just reading the manual a little more carefully and it's clear now that the alternate input is used with the
direct out to create an external mono send/stereo return effects loop. I was too quick to jump to conclusions... -
Great sounding profiles. Good job!
-
Hello and welcome to Kemperville. True what you say. The KPA has VERY few weak spots, it's
a waiting adventure every time you pick up that axe. -
Welcome!
Good job!
-
Okay, this sure is valuable information. I'll try to use the UB802 and see what comes out
in the other end. -
Thanks for all the input. So, what you say is that the alternate input does not yet work together with the
regular line input to make a "stereo" profile? I would like to try to keep the signal chain a clean as possible,
therefore I thought the dual preamp and the two line inputs omn the KPA would be ideal.
The only mixer I have access to is a crappy Behringer UB802. I also have a Xenyx 1222 but only wired
as a monitor mixer. -
Very very welcome!

I think you might like my JTM30Clean rig (available on the exchange). With a tele it might get there. Maybe add some slapback delay ...
Thanks, I'll look it up.
-
I used two different type mics close together when doing my JTM30 and it turned out very well. My logic was that combining the different frequency characteristics of the mics would lead to a more balanced overall sound.
Just what I'm looking for too. I would like to try a ribbon mic together with my trusty SM57.
-
Can I could use two mics and a 2-channel preamp when miking up an
amp for profiling?
I was thining of using the line input and the alternate jacks to connect from the preamp. -
Hello Rick!
You're in for a lot of sleepless nights and hours passing quicker than ever -
I think the bag is kinda chic...

But please don't dress it in pink sexy lingerie...
No worries, I'll look terrible in an outfit like that. Really!
Spandex maybe...[Blocked Image: http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/27900000/Dee-Snider-twisted-sister-27989487-361-365.jpg]
