Finaly i have got my new Epiphone ES335 Cherry (Inspired of Gibsen edition) due to Covid-19 the delivery was delayed!

I was a bit worried how this guitar would sound trough Kemper, but I am realy impressed by playability and sound. good nice tones from Jazz to Rock. thick fat tone on hi gain and a lot of sustain! It had a few finnish dings, but considering the price its ok. I dont anyone would notice much sound difference in the audience compared to 4 times more expencive Gibson! the alnico pro pickups had good separation no muddyness and was quite dynamic. It sounded very nice on my Kemper. I modified some presets from my hollow short T and it sounded very good. It has almost same scale and it is chambered so a bit similar. ES335 was as expected fatter sounding and i was impressed about the sustain. string separation and effects was clear and transparent. delay and tremolo not muddy at all! factory set up was ok. good intonation but maby a hair to high! but playability and neck was nice!

I am a big Mark Knopfler fan, and tought he was the last one to switch out his big tubeamps! In my opinion i can create 99% the sounds that I had with my tubeamps. but if i dont had to carry my gear I could easyly had Bogners and Matchless on stage!! but dont think the audience would notice! For guitarists who use one guitar and have one signature sound, i think Kemper is completely wrong amp

My Kemper setup its a lot more Buzzy than my tube amps! especially with single coils

I have not got it yet, think it would be delivered in February.

the 2020 Epiphone ES335 Cherry is a step up from the Epiphone Dot with Alnico PRO pickups and vintage pegs. The headstock is more Gibson like and pickguard is from Gibson. I will make a review when it arraives!

see this video:

what do you play trough? and what guitars do you use??

MBritt is realy good profiles. I always use EQ and boost, and they realy shine with my strats and Tele! Dark or bright profiles is very easy to compensate with EQ and voicing! its the thing in the middle who realy is the inportant thing, that many guitrists realy forget! You can have as cool prestets as you want in your bedroom and headphones, but you need to understandthat your presets have to be made at gigvolume and that people will hear the sound trough your PA!! not your cab playing for your knees!

Check Equipboard for his amps. Lots of Dr Z.

I have tryed to like Dr Z profiles but almost all seems fizzy to me! Its not like the real deal on FRFR! I dont see any reason to use a powered kemper with a cab!

The whole ting for me with Kemper is to use FRFR speaker! I dail in all my sounds with this at gig volume, and troug our PA it sounds almost the same! We have JBL PA who realy transmit my guitarsound very well! almost after every gig some guitarist or musichan come up to me and say i have a very nice guitarsound!!

but this has the Output jack on the top, near volume and tone controls, not on the side like a Les Paul or a 339... or the 1st pic you posted right? (that indeed looks more compact than a 335)

Sorry my Norwegian dealer has mixed up pictures and text on their website! her you have the link! jack not in the sarg and vintage pegs, and Gibson Pickguard without the screw trough it

looks like a 339 not a 335.

I m looking for a 330 since.. one year or so.. can t find the Right one. I ve also tried recently some epiphone casino and casino coupé.. not bad guitars at all. Great value for money

No its a 2020 model its called ES-335 Cherry. 339 has a scaled down body

Ihave seen a couple of reviews. ex. Andertones compareing with a Gibson! I will use it with a tribute band, and if it sounds and playes as good as in their video i thonk i will be sattisfied with it!

I am realy satisfied with my Kemper setup and presets. I play mostly strats and Tele, but i have ordered a Epiphone ES-335 cherry I know this is only a copy, but A-B tests on youtube seems like the sunds and playability is nearly the same. the biggest differences is build finnish and paint. I am not a Gigson guy anyway so think if its sound ES335 for 1/4 of the price it would do for me! I am used to a lot mor expencive guitars. the new model is ready by Februar, so i will come with a rewiev then.

Anyone else have good exp with ES335 styled guitars and Kemper! I already have a hollow short scale Tele and it sounds fantastic! but cost 5 times more!

I usually use a strat tele and an acoustic! make different presets for all my guitars! The Kemper also is nice for my electric Mandolin oand Dobro with inbuilt mic!

Thanx guys!! the soundengineer told me it was not optimal sound, because it was both streaming and some audience so soundwise it was some compromise. But ok sound and my TA was well balansed in the mix.

I can play fat tones even with my Tele bridge pickup. I dont understand your problem!

and legato playing is easy for me on all my presets! I play as dynamic as all other tube amps i have played!

Dynamic playing was the biggest requierment i had to a digital amp. I was looking for a lunchbox style top to my CAE 2x12 cab, but after an hour playing with the Kemper, I knew it was for me! I play a lot of different music and different styles.

Even my biggest influencer and guitarhero Mark Knopfler uses kemper now!

Some songs from my project band and tribute to Kim Larsen from Denmark. 6 songs from a Covid-19 streaming consert with several bands. I was the only digital guy, and had the best guitarsound!

I mainly use Preset Bogner ATMA and Mesa profile on the higain. Guitar: Tom Anderson HSTC (Hollow short scale)

Simple Rig as I use with all bands i play with: Kemper, Yamaha DXR8, Kemper remote & Ernie Ball ex/volume, Sennheizer IM300 G3 inear

I know its impossible to lock out bussing from singlecoils!! but i realy want to know if its anything i can do to take it down a bit.. its a lot more buzz when i play the Kemper than my Tubeamp. maby its the tweeter on my DXR who is the main source.. In many venues i play there is not a broblem. and it seems it ocures in places with a lot of lights.. and on my musicroom at home its a lot of lightbulbs in the center of the roof. My strat its worse than my Tele. no noise with my Taylor acc. with active mic system

I have a lot of anoying noise too! I have asked the question several times, but no conclution. I can turn up the noisegate but the tone goes dull and even then the noise is there. Groundlift makes no different.

Wonder if cables can be an issue. Is there any ground shielding device to put into the power socket?

Its not realy a problem live with high wolumes in a band, but home at low volumes its anoying. i like twangy fat sharp cutting trough mix sound. (Fender Delux/super reverb) and thats when the bussing Noise is worst!

I think my bulblights on my musicroom makes buzzing when useing singelcoil guitars. the lights is dimable, but also got on and off switch. or the problem is bad earthing (ground).

I feel i have to adjust the noisegate to mutch, and even still it buzzez a lot!! its often not a problem in live situations, but at low volumes and at home its realy anoying!

so my question is. is there anything i can do to shield from this? special cables or any dewise to put in the sockets? the buzzing goeas away when i touch any of the metal plugs on either my guitar cable or cable from Kemper to my monitor (DXR8) the groundlift have no effect

is someone else experience these problems? I play Tom Anderson Electrics so it should not be bad quality guitars.. Maby the solutions is to get an electrician!?

I think of the Kone this way. If you play from your Kemper straight to FOH and use in ears 100% of the time, or only plug your Kemper into your interface at home and only monitor via studio monitors then the Kone isn't really going to do much for you. As the main outs to FOH are not impacted by the Kone imprints.

If you are using the monitor out today to play through a FRFR speaker or a guitar cabinet then the Kone is probably worth looking at. The Kone can operate in a FRFR mode, or can be used to replace your guitar cab and have different imprints,for each rig (future upgrade).

It's light, sounds great and provides a cabinet in the room feel. So it really depends on how your using and monitoring your Kemper to see if it will do much for you.

Hope that helps.

Thats exactly what i think too! I play mostly live with in ears, but use my DXR on stage to get kind of amp feeling at high volumes, I dont understand why i should have a coloured sound on stage when my in ears and PA is the sound that realy matter. If i was doing a lot of studio stuff, or sat only in my musicroom I could had it, but I realy get almost in room amp feel with my DXR8

I am not sure i understand the use of the Kemper Kabinet. My philosofy is using kemper direct in the PA, and the monitor in my case DXR8 is to monitor whats out form the PA. I make my presets on my reference speeker also DXR8! the sound trough PA is nearly exact the same, and the sound i realy like.

I have tryed playing trough my CAE2x12 cab with V30´s + Poweramp. I have to admit almost all my profiles is sounding better and fuller trough my DXR8, exept maby from some chrunch style presets.

so what will happend to my presets if i run it troug the Kemper Kabinet with cone and turn off the cab simulation! will it send it to the PA without cab simulation? or do it send it with Kone simulation?? I dont realy understand the usage of this if the "nice sound"only comes from the Kemper Kab!? cause its no Kemper kone in the PA?

I play 95% live trough PA. iam not shure the Kemper Kone is for me and my usage! If i realy want an amp on stage i use my heavy Koch tube amp and Jensen custom speakers 6L6 tubes+TC G-Force.

I bought Kemper because less to carry , no heavy amp, straight in PA, same sound in everey venue no miced cab, no bassrumble
