I know what you mean, there are times when I get too much volume with the pedal, then I find myself pulling it back and come back to far and then struggling to find the right level. So I think I will try the morph approach. Are you boosting rig volume?

Are you boosting the volume with the rig volume and boosting the mids with the output EQ?

Actually thinking back the mids thing might be a bit misleading as it actually may not be 1db of mids or 750Hz exactly, I'm getting mixed up with my go to settings on my Axe FX 3 and any other equipment I might use.

My solo boost on the Kemper is actually my main rhythm profile, in the Amp Stack I add 1.0 on the mid pot and add 4 dB on the rig volume plus usually I add 2.0 on the gain also. Then I add more delay or reverb etc to taste.

4db usually works about right for me with 1db of mids around 750 Hz, in a two guitar band.

These are still some of my favorite profiles. Better than many commercial offerings.

Hi Webb , cheers for the compliments. I'm sure I used to use a Cameron Atomica SM57/R121 mic combo profile of yours on and off over the years plus some Splawn Quick Rod profiles from JerEvil I think? Seems like all we like the same style moddified Marshall tones.

Thanks for the kind words again everyone, a few years after I posted most of these profiles.

I think I might get round to making a few new profiles of the amp and see how they turn out.

I'll admit and it might be blasphemy to some around these parts but when it comes to the digital realm I pretty much just use the Axe FX 3 these days and an FX-8 for effects with my real amps so haven't made any profiles in quite a long time.

Still use the Kemper for fly dates though (well when we can actually do gigs again!). Just can't beat the convenience of the 600 watt power amp, plus amp and effects in that small package.

Whenever I have the space live I always love to run a real cab behind me, go direct to the PA and also direct out to my Friedman ASM-12 in front of me so all bases are covered.

Here is all of them I believe, plus the write up JerEvil did of all the settings on the real amp for each profile.

I'll upload them all I had them saved from a few years ago.

Just wanted to post some thanks in here. A few people may have noticed I've not been posting for a quite a few months now, mainly due to my PowerHead blowing up with a big white flash and a bang about 4 month ago. I contacted support and opened a case.

It took me around 4 months to get all organised and finally get my amp sent off to Germany, all securly packaged and insurered via UPS from UK to Germany for £55 and make sure I had some money ready for what I was expecting to be a costy repair fee due to the almost certainty that at least a motherboard was blown in the amp, due to what appeared to be part of an IC fell out the chassis.

My amp was purchased January 2014 so was well out of warrenty period so was all prepared to pay what was needed for the repair providing it didn't fall into "May as well buy a new amp territory".

To my suprise my PowerHead came back to me in just over 1 week fully rerpaired FREE OF CHARGE!

I'd like to offer my thanks to Kemper Support Team for their quick turnaround and great service! Couldn't be happier.

LiamThompson Where are those two OD5 and OD14 that you speak about? Can't find them.

I'm not sure mate it was 3 maybe even 4 years when I was using JerEvils profiles. Time flies

Sorry about that, SPAM folder and there they are.

Does anyone know how long support takes to respond. I sent the email 9 days ago and haven't even recieved a response yet?

WARNING:

There are no user serviceable parts inside the Profiler and open it up might results in a warranty issue. Never do that. This is a warning to all those reading this in the future: don't open your Profiler!

From the manual: "Warranty coverage is also voided when the device is repaired by unauthorized persons or tampered with in any way.", "Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor- mally, or has been dropped."

LiamThompson Since you've contacted support before you've opened it up, you're eventually fine. But make sure you mention this in your support ticket and refer to this thread.

No problem, I wouldn't have opened it up if the warranty was still intact. Cheers for the heads up.

Just removed the green metal case shell to take a look at what is loose inside and it's the top of a charred IC chip that has blown completely apart. So it looks like it's a least one blown chip minimum.

Thanks for the input guys.

DamianGreda I'm sure it actually sounds like there is a loose screw in side. Never noticed it before till just after it blew up.

Well....

I've just powered my Kemper amp up and after about 5 seconds the amp made a pop sound, with a small flash of light coming from the main plug jack socket on the back and tripped the fuse box in my house.

I switched everything off in the house and returned the flip switch on my fuse box to restore the power.

I then tried a new power cable with the Kemper and plugged it in as soon as I turned the power on at the wall I got another pop and flash from inside the amp and I never turned the chicken knob to start booting the Kemper up.

I'm sick to say the least!

I've contacted support straight away and just waiting for a reply, being the weekend may take a while.

Have any of you guys had a serious fault like this before and had to send your Kemper away for repair? I'm just trying to gauge how much this is likely to cost me to get fixed? I'm live in England and I'm guessing the amp will have to be shipped to Germany also?

Love my Mesa Horizontal Rectifier 2X12's. If it's good enough for Andy Timmons, good enough for me!

burkard thanks. My rigs were all set to -100 there

Will check this out Burkhard and report back.

This is the first time I've updated to the firmware since the initial update that included the new reverbs was released so assuming something has changed there.

No mate, the exact same delay settings copied and pasted to other blocks work fine.

I take blank profile (no effects any where so all blocks are blank only the stack section active). If I add a delay to X or MOD it works as expected and just adds delay. Copy that exact block to DEL or REV and the whole rig drops by 3 dB or so. None of the parameters have changed in the settings anywhere I look.

Is anyone else experiencing this with 5.7.7.14448 release?

If I add a delay into either of those slots the rig volume drops by about half. This doesn't happen with slot X or MOD.
