Hi!! I got a pod hd500x, do you make some config on it to controll the kemper?

Thank you!!

Welcome, welcome to... to the machine!!

Welcome!!

Welcome back commander!

Welcome!!

Hola!! Here is my beautiful Kemper!

Yes, that is, at least, it's good to know that your sound is different in two different rooms. Otherwise, you are at mercy of PA tech. : P

Hello guys!, first of all, this is a personal opinion, as a result of many gigs in many places and working with audio engineers with more... or less empathy.

What I have learned over the years with modelers, and now with Kemper, is that... to get the best live sound, it´s not to do a focused job on eqs, compression, etc. What really works great is to leave the amp as natural as possible, using only the EQ of the amp itself, as you would with any traditional equipment.

What often happened to me, when the sound tests started, I used to "argue" with the audio engineer about my amp, that the signal was already coming from my amp equalized, how I like it, but with time I realized that they don't like it, many times they left the signal flat, but outside it didn't sound like it should sound, it could be the place, the reverb, the front of house sound system that has a particular sound, this made them angry, because the sound was very unpredictable and they make some "against eq" corrections that gave a worse sound.

Over the years I have learned from them, from the audio engineers that it is best to give them what they expect, the sound of a natural guitar amp, with its darkness, or high frequencies when they see some Marshall or a Mesa. they know what they have to do to make your sound great, everything changes when you play on a large stage, a "Plaza de Toros" or bullring, a closed area. It's my recommendation, you'll get a better sound with your natural amp sound, I'm not talking about effects, obviously.

Best is leave the guitar sound treatment for the recording studio sessions, although sometimes we confuse sounding a guitar with "that sounds like that album that I like", which was also recorded 20 years ago , haha, let's not forget that the same amp and guitarist sound different in different albums for many reasons, mixing eq, master eq, studio equipment. etc.

Anyway, I hope that with this advice you enjoy a pleasant live experience with your Kemper, and... get along with the audio engineer. : D

Comment what you think about this topic. Greetings to all!

I'm working with LD Systems MEI 100 G2, the last 2 years and i'm happy with it, it sounds fine, but as a singer, as a guitarist I used it 3 or 4 times.

Thank you @chrismilne, I will test it!!

Bjorn, your JP2C profile its really amazing, It has the fluffy sound I was looking for!

A newbie question, how do I use the Bjorn DI profiles with a different cab inside Kemper?

Thank You!

My new Kemper of course!, and at the beginning of 2017 I bought the Amplifi TT, it’s a very easy to use modeler with an iPad for example, very funny to make a fool and play with the home HiFi.

But one thing to highlight in this 2017, would be a gift that I received. A lot of 2 Harley Benton guitars, exactly, were the TE-52 and the ST-62 VW. I could consider them almost toy, but to my surprise, they are very fun to play, they have a nice feeling, after a bit of work, as if it were a DIY, I polished their frets, installed shield to prevent noise and the truth is that they sound surprisingly good! Recommendable, If someone gives it to you as a gift, even better!.

Thank you so much Bjorn!! Im going to download your profiles!

Thank you peaople! I have already updated and I see on the screen a few things that I like!! I like that Kemper can evolve the product without changing the hardware.

Interesting, but plugins, better or worse, there are thousands and thousands. Slate Digital has something hardware type?

Thank you nakedzen!

If Kemper is able to take a convolution pic of a guitar amp, the character, the way that energy is transmitted through a city of resistors, capacitors, tubes...

I think that Kemper could emulate a famous studio compressor? or an "pultec" style equalization?

What do you think? Please comment, Kemper's principle I think it would be the same.

Thank you so much!!

There are some list of new things in 5.5 update?

Thank you fourstrk! I’ll do it soon as possible!

OMG OMG!!! I need it! I need it all!!
How can I get it?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
