So what exactly is your point?

You come on the Kemper forum, call the Kemper a dinosaur, tell us Jam Up on an I-Phone is the future, tell us you earn $350K a month and have an IQ of 162...

If you have an IQ of 162 what made you think coming on the Kemper forum and insulting the Kemper was a good idea?

How about you post a clip for us of the Jam Up into your I-Phone or I-Mac?...make us believers.

I'm not interested in "making you believers". And I'm not interested in what you think is a good idea. I simply stated what I did, sold the Kemper and went with JamUp. It works well for me.

Then I was attacked. Wasn't I. If you don't believe that then go back and read the posts.

And I've never had the occasion to mention my income or my IQ until some a-hole in here decided to mock my profile.

You believe the Kemper is the future. Great. I believe differently and I stated as much. And that was exactly where I was happy to leave it until the personal attacks began.

And from the attitudes of some of you, looks like I won't be missing much dropping out of this forum.

Enjoy playing with your expensive dinosaur.

There really isn't any worthwhile response to this. For 99.9% of the Kemper users out there this would not even serve as a satisfactory solution for a simple practice session let alone a real gig or recording situation

I would love to see the reaction if you showed up at any real gig with people paying for tickets and pulled out your iPad and told the FOH engineer OK here we go this is my stage setup.

Where was the last place that YOU played live? How much were the tickets? How many people were in the audience?

What's even more interesting is the OP's handle, pic, and occupation under their profile - Gambler? - I guess you don't need good tone hearing to gamble - just another bridge dweller for sure. As has already been stated best not to waste time or forum space with this nonsense!

LOL. And what do YOU do for a living pal? Do you pull down $350k a month doing what YOU love? I roll out of bed at noon, 'work' 3 hours max and the rest of my day is free time. But I guess you're the clever one here huh? My 162 IQ just doesn't quite measure up to yours. I bet you have a really bitchin' cubicle too.

Expensive hardware is not the future. Inexpensive software is.

Pete's always got his eye out for the very latest in guitar gadgetry.

There is a free version which is great, but if you really want to splurge you can pay up for the bells and whistles version which costs $5.

Got $2100 for it on eBay. Spent $129 on an Apogee Jam 96k. Downloaded the FREE JamUp app for iPhone, iPad and iMac. Tone heaven.

The Kemper Profiler is a dinosaur. And here comes the meteor.

Well, that begs the question. Do you buy your guitars to keep in the case only to take them out once a year to LOOK at them? Or do you buy them to PLAY? My very first reaction to the design was much the same. The blue one looks like plastic. But when you see one in person it's F-ing gorgeous. And when you play it you can't imagine playing anything else. The Majesty is the most ergonomic guitar I've ever played. Light weight (basswood wings plus a mahogany tone block with a maple cap). The neck is perfect (for me). Ernie Ball necks are notoriously excellent and like no other. You can get a multitude of tones out of this thing. Neck thru. Easy access all the way up to the 24th fret. Piezo. Game Changer system for fast switching. Ebony board and locking tuners (no locking nut). In short, it's a guitar designed by a player for a player. I'm not a Petrucci/Dream Theater fan per se although I acknowledge his skills. A bit pricey, but I gamble for a living so it's not like I'm spending my own money.

You're right. The tone on that video isn't great. That's why I don't buy my guitars based on YouTube demos.

My EBMM Majesty (Glacial Frost) arrives in about a month. In preparation for playing it thru my Kemper + Active CLR rig, I am using the interim time to stock up on extra underwear. I may however choose to go with an adult diaper ... Depends.

Yeah, right here, I am. Wait. Did you say chicks or clicks?

Three weeks after buying the Kemper, I was able to throw my Viagra away.

Theft.

I bet your acoustic has a hole in it. Check it and see. From what I've seen this is a widespread problem.

I have heard that the Kemper struggles with Clean stuff ...

Heard from who? An Axe-Fx II salesman with a shed full of them he can't get rid of?

BWAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA.

OK, who dropped the turd into the punch bowl?

And where is Bill Murray with his Hazmat suit when you need him?

Well, if the only options are to a) let someone waltz in here, start barking orders and walk all over you or b) shut up, smile and take whatever shit they want to dish out then I can think of a third option ....

BYE.

Please move this post to the trouble shooting forum

Excuse me Mr BossyPants, but this is not a troubleshooting incident and therefore his post does not belong in the Troubleshooting forum. The OP is not complaining about a malfunction in the device. He is attempting to match a tone he heard on a video and is seeking advice on doing that. He has posted his request in the appropriate place.

What an incredible coincidence! This is the exact same guitar I have used in every one of my auditions with metal bands in my area. It's been 6 years now and I feel I'm getting close to hearing my first "Congrats buddy! You're in!"

Quote from Mic2002

Is it just me or is this another of those aimless posts that starts with getting a bad sound or similar? Then goes round in circles rather than using the suggestions given?

No idea of guitar, profile used, monitors, set up - really nothing of any real value.

The first 9 or 10 posts have given pretty direct ideas. Why don't you try some of these and reply where necessary? This should be in the trouble shooting forum in any case.

Hey. Dude. I'm getting dressed right now and I was wondering ... could you tell me what color socks I should be wearing today?

Quote from Booyah

Sure looks like the bridge pickup to me (2:16 mark) unless maybe he had the toggle switch installed upside down.

Yep. He's switching between up and down.
