Has there been any definitive statement from Kemper as to wether this is actually physically possible with the current KPA unit?

Not to my knowledge. Let's hope DonPetersen will respond to that in a more precise way than above

Quote from DonPetersen

see the problem?

No, I don't get your point unless you're hinting the Kemper isn't powerful enough to do that.

Quote from DonPetersen

is there something I'm not getting here?

Yeah, we're using stereo effects. Otherwise this request would be stupid as you could easily split the mono monitor signal to two cabs.

The only question is: Is the Kemper powerful enough so that we can get "Monitor Cab Off" for at least the direct out?

I know my exact dB-values for rehearsal and home and now I have scroll through the output menu to get them instead of using the master. If you ask me this change is completely stupid. Sorry!

Idea for improvement: Put the dB-values on right side of the new bars, so you see them when turning the master volume.

Cheers, Stefan

I'm so glad I've found this thread. Since getting my Remote yesterday I was really doubting my own abilities to tap in time

Quote from FreeBlues

The issue is having a computer (running Rig Manager) and the Remote connected to the Profiler at the same time causes power management problems. Or something like this. The only "fix" is to disconnect the computer.

That's what I was thinking after disconnecting my computer as I didn't have any freezes since then. So thanks for confirming!

And the DOD 240 doesn't "suck" any tone from the guitar? Just wondering

Same here. Got my Remote today and had two freezes since then. Rig Manager was on. Software is up to date.

I've also requested it when merged profiles came out
The next logical step? Cab Profiling

Quote from Hurricane

You're right with Studio-Profiles. If you use Merged-Profiles (what I normally use in my Performances) the cab-parameters only affect the Main-Outs.

I wish you didn't get it wrong, but I'm afraid merged profiles behave like studio profiles - I've just tested to be sure. If you alter the cab, the sound with "monitor-cab off" changes, too

This is new for me. The text of the linked page say that it is for Relay G50/G90 Systems.I think about to buy a new Sender for G30 for an additional guitar . This would be a good alternative.

Is it possible to work with both transmitters (G30, G50) on different guitars. Of course only one guitar would be switched on.

It works as Ingolf said.

And it even works the other way round (G30 transmitter to G50 receiver), which resulted in the most confusing soundcheck of my life I was playing a G30 into Kemper and the main act, who had done soundcheck before, had a G50 into Kemper and left it all on. Therefore I way playing through both Kempers as we had set the same channels set on the Line6. Took us about 3 minutes to realise, where the second sound came from...

Quote from Hurricane

That makes me wonder ! I'll check it

Change Low and High Shift to +/-5, you will notice immediately

Quote from Hurricane

It's kinda realized by the "bass-", "treble-" and "character-knobs" in the cab-section.

But those affect the sound with AND without cab.

Switched from Dunlop Wedge 0.88 (middle) to acrylic picks a while ago. Main pick is the Gravity Razer 1.5 (left) with the star etching...have to try wave though V-Picks (right) are in the same ballpark, the Stiletto ist just a little too small for me.
Just try what you want to try, don't overthink it too much

Quote from Bommel

If some of you have 4.2 or 5.0 installed would you liek to help and see if this profile works ? recording a very short clip would be very helpful

Hi Bommel,
it doesn't work. I've played the same riff twice - with and without the Recti Shaper. (Only if you alter the ducking parameter to extreme values (-5 or +5), you get a more audible sound.)
Cheers,
Stefan

Quote from Trazan

Hm...I just tried on my rig with a 2x12 cab. I really can't hear a difference with or without cab engaged in the stack section. At least not on the 5 rigs in the performance I tried. I could hear the artifacts for a second or so after switching, but turning effects off, and pause playing for a second at the time of switching...I couldn't hear a difference. This is with the 5.0 beta.

It didn't change with firmware updates. There is only a minor difference from a direct profile to the same profile with cab as the algorithm that subtracts the cab afterwards seems to be really precise. However you will notice a huge difference if you add a cab and turn it off and then change the low and high shift to +5.0 even though the cab shouldn't be "active".

@wayman Regarding the processing power that's just my assumption. I can't think of another reason why Kemper is subtracting the cab afterwards and not calculating two independent signal paths (one with and one without cab). Grabbing a signal in between for stack and mod shouldn't cost too much processing power afaik

Hi wayman,

that is not a bug, that is the normal behaviour and you've got good ears You hear it drastically if you max high and low shift in the cab-section.

As far as I know the Kemper only calculates one stereo sound with cab that you know as Master Stereo (or Mono). If you turn the cab off (either via monitor cab off or in the signal chain) the Kemper then calculates the cab off from your finished Master Stereo. There is no second calculation of all the delays etc. with a sound that doesn't have a cab. The cab is simply subtracted at the end.
However you can grab the signal at various points in the calculating chain. For example you can get it after Stack or Mod. If you turn the cab off you then get the signal after the stack- (or mod-)section with cab and then the cab gets subtracted.

Now you could ask: But, why? Well, just think about the processing power you would need to calculate two complete signals too achieve only a slightly better cab separation that most of the users haven't even heard of, yet...
(That cursive written part is only my assumption that explains all those behaviours of the Kemper. If anybody from Kemper could confirm this, I would be glad )

Is there a solution to your problem? Alter the cab so that you like your cab-on-sound. Turn the cab off for the monitor output and use the monitor eq in the output-section to change the sound coming from your real cab. I know that this is a workaround, but I think that should be the best way to not interfere with your sound on the main outs.

Cheers and don't let those stuff spoil your fun playing

PS: That happens on studio and merged profiles. It affects direct profiles in the same way as soon as you add a cab - you don't even have to merge them for that behaviour. (I've just tested)

In front of the Kemper: Free the Tone Gigs Boson, Digitech Bad Monkey
In stereo loop: ABY-Box, Neunaber Wet Reverb, Strymon Deco (Doubletracker always on), Strymon Timeline

I'm trying to size it down, but I haven't found a way to substitute especially the fat ones

I've just made a similar comparison with the Strymon Deco Doubletracker. I used the "BM Sold 99 Cases Dist 2"-profile (stock) without reverb.

Part 1: Single Track - Part 2: Deco Doubletracker - Part 3: Real Doubletracking

Amon Amarth, nice!
Which midi wireless do you use and what's the orange spare cable on the board for?
