I bought an HX Stomp and have an FM3 that should ship next week... if I take up the option.
Just seeing what the other sides are like; I’m Kemper for life

happy trails,,take care
Only on the Delay and Reverb slots...

Just tried them out and they all sound really nice. A few questions though Bea:
Were you using the Studio EQ in Stomp A for the VX100 G2 rig in the comparison? If so why?Was the Compressor on in the VX100 Clean example?
Why are all of the rigs set with the Rig Volume Maxed out? I nearly blew me head clean off when I played the first chord
He wrote that he "added a few bits to them". I guess that would mean the Stomps and tweaks...? RabeaAfro

Display MoreI just got a Kemper and after a few cars with it….I’ve noticed this same cocked way …almost light ring mod type modulation sound. When I roll guitar volume and pick lightly it’s very pronounced. I was just using the highly regard M Brit Dumble pack.
My first thought after confirming there were no modulation effects on…..was this sound artifact, if a byproduct of the Kemper or specify profiles….would be….totally unacceptable to everyone.
In just did an Internet search and this old thread came up affirming I’m not alone in hearing / experiencing this.
What’s the verdict? Is this a known / prevalent issue?
if anyone sees this and responds…thank you in advance.It doesn’t sound like you’re experiencing the same thing as the infamous “cocked wah”. Try turning the noise gate in the input section all the way off and see if that makes a difference. How are you monitoring the Kemper? What is your signal path? Other than that, you’d have to provide sound clips for the forum before it could help you further.

Ooooooooh count me in!

I think he made it as fair as he could, within the limits of his studio and the time spent.
Thanks for sharing, RabeaAfro -
Sam it has changed my mixes as much as the kemper did ...honestly ...I hardly use my monitors anymore ...takes a little while to get used to but my mixes are faster and more consistent now and translate well ...
Interstingly it has also made me appreciate profiles in a different way hearing them more accurately..
And .....I can hear all of this on any computer system anywhere ..seriously impressed
That’s a serious endorsement!

Slate VSX
Endless profiles
Various plugins/soft synths
How are you digging the VSX, Ally? Ive had the Waves Nx thingy with head tracker for a few years, but don't really use it. I also had the Focusrite VRM box back in the day.

We need a 2021 thread. I've been buying more stuff.
Me too...

I am interested in how it does it’s cab and the ability to set up different mics. If it’s just an IR loader that ignores your real cab’s sound then bugger that. If instead it can separate cab from amp as the Kemper does and also allow you to virtually change the mic you used originally keeping your own cab and room in the picture then that would be impressive.
I think the Captures are like the Rig Player in TH-U, in that it is an enclosed block in the signal path. In TH-U, they have included the Kemper parameters stolen from the Amp block, but if they have "profiled" the whole chain, you can only turn the Cab on or off, not swap it out (I assume that turning the Cab off will activate the equivalent of Kemper's Cab Driver algorithm, guessing at where the amp ends and the cabinet begins). As far as I've seen of the QC, you can't even turn off the Cab of a captured "whole" rig. I think most users will likely have to rely on capturing DIs via a dedicated output or through a load box and then add an IR after the Capture block in the signal path.

Also hope this setup is also usable for a potential Quad Cortex, that i may also try in future. Hope it goes well with the Kone FRFR setting.
The Kone FRFR setting is only selectable with the Profiler, as the Profilers DSP is used to "flatten" the GFR response of the Kone. Try playing through the Kabinet/Kone without the setting switched on in the Output menu and you'll hear what you'll experience with any other piece of gear going through the Kabinet/Kone.

ckemper thanks you for your valuable input as always. I always value your insight and knowledge as I am sure others do.
You might want to update this section of the manual then
KEMPER PROFILER Main Manual 7.5
Why do I need my guitar cabinet when I want to capture a PROFILE without a cabinet?It's true, the sound of the speaker will not be captured in this case, but the complex impedance behavior of the speaker is still needed to create those oft-mentioned interactions between the power tube amp and the connected guitar cabinet. The DI box will ensure that there are real-life interactions for the PROFILING process to capture. Later, when the PROFILE is played back through the built-in Class D power amp, or an external solid-state power amp, it will recreate the same impedance situation to that of the connected guitar cabinet. This is the key to making our built-in power amp sound like a tube power amp.
For this reason, we recommend that you don't use any kind of power-soaks or power-attenuators, either as a substitute for, or in addition to, the DI box and true speaker. Those devices work mostly with simple resistors, which might inhibit the desired impedance interactions, thereby resulting in an inauthentic PROFILE.
That part of the profiling manual is for when you want to capture DA or Merged profiles, accurately separating the cabinet from pre- and power amp. Rabea was only trying to capture a Studio profile, so it didn’t apply.

No, there is a new feature in 3.0 for the Helix. all effects and amps must be on the same path and will use the same cpu if set in the global configuration. when switching to a new preset, it is absolutely immediate. THe problem is that your patches have to be simple enough and cpu friendly to run on one path and nothing is on the other path at all.
Ahhhh that’s why, then. I don’t have any presets that use a single path. Now that excerpt in the manual about the Digitech processor makes sense.
-
Once again, it's stuff that can be worked out in software. Button functions can change, the GUI can change. It's only the hardware that stays. As an example the Helix just came out with true preset spillover, meaning there is no delay at all when changing presets. Others will follow.
I think you mean no audio gap. There certainly is delay when switching presets (delay of the latency/lag kind as well as the effect kind). The snapshots are lag free, though.

Profiling the Peavey Ultra Plus is not possible ! Every time you try to profile the Kemper says : noisegate detected - but there is no noisegate...
According to the manual, the Crunch and Ultra channels have a noise gate built in. It isn’t the only Peavey amp to have an internal noise gate that can’t be switched off.

I really like this one, Mats. Well done! Very nice playing, both guitar and bass.
-
-
I immediately felt like they were basically per se identical tones - with the first one having much more brightness or highs or going through different speakers or simply using different eqs...
. Of course I can be totally wrong without testing it myself. Telling goodness or badbess just through phone speakers is nonsense, of course. Cannot wait to hear more examples.True about the phone, but you could already tell that the sounds weren't particularly close.
-
If it is a modelled AC30 then, yes, it passed the test. Even if it is a capture is sounds pleasing and full to me (admittedly in this case only through the spakers of my phone
).(...man, this thread has the strongest legs in history...)
I actually thought it paled in comparison to the recording he played at the beginning of the clip. It sounded ok to me, nothing more.
