  • Probably the "nearest" Kemper

    warlus1: I also use the FCB 1010 for the Kemper, with the UnoFor Kemper chip. With the V-Amp I used the normal funktion with 10 sounds per level, but was very unsatisfied with the volume funktion. It changes a little for most of the way, and them very hard on the rest.


    The UnoForKemper allowes to choose different characteristics for that, and I found a good one. I also changed to the stompbox mode, with five sounds and five effect controls per level.


    Zappledan: My problem with the volume pedal was not the range or characteristic, it was OK with the Uno chip. But the Volume Pedal Location in the sounds is mostly pre stomp and for me its useless, because its the same functionality as the volume poti at the guitar. I like it post effects to control the final volume without changing the sound.
    paults: I didn't know about locking the volume pedal position, I will try that. I locked the cabinet simulation at off, because I use a box with guitar speakers. But ( HELL-G) yes, it seems, that every user has to read the big manual at least five times to learn about all the features.


    When I bought my Kemper, the Profiler Remote was just a ghost in the forum, so I used the FCB1010. Now, I think about the Profiler Remote. First problem: after changing the Guitar to wireless, I also changed the FCB to wireless (yes, there is wireless MIDI), so I only need a power plugin (soundcheck from the back of the hall, very useful...)
    But to have the display quite near, is also a big advantage (see my wish for the app with bluetooth-connection).
    Next issue: I hate to have a zoo of things under my feet, so I liked the buildin pedals from the FCB. The remote needs extra pedals for volume and wah.

  • Probably the "nearest" Kemper

    Hi all,


    the "nearest" Kemper? Well, about 700 m from Kemper Headquarter, there is our rehearsal room, so this is probably the nearest Kemper in use :) .


    Coming from Behringer V-Amp pro with all its limitations but some quite good sounds, I had the chance to get a Kemper (powered rack version). So first, I did the forbidden: I profiled the Behringer, and the result was not so bad...


    Why this? It’s not so easy to find the sound between thousands, which fits in the band sound like the old gear did. Biggest problem: to hear the sound alone is far away from hearing it with the band, and trying a few thousand sounds together with the band... well, no one will bear that.


    In the meantime I found some pretty sounds to replace the old gear. And the possibilities of the Kemper are overwhelming.


    However, there are some things, I don't understand:


    Why is it necessary to change the position of the volume pedal from the first place to the last in nearly all sounds? If I would change the volume before the amp, I can use the volume poti of the guitar. But to change the main volume without changing the sound, this is the purpose of the pedal.


    And the most important missing thing is the remote PC-software for all functions. It is so difficult to keep the overview of the functions in such a small display. (By the way: who can make the app to bring the display on the smart phone?)

  • Bluetooth

    There is another quite simple reason for bluetooth: often the amp is far away, and I would like to see somthing on the display. With bluetooth a little smartphone app could just show the actual content of the display.

  • Creating a list of sounds for the floorboard to print or whatever

    One quite simple wish for the feature list: Which sound belongs to which number on the floor board? At the moment, I only can press the floor board button and write the sound by hand on a piece of paper. It should be easy for the kemper to generate a list of these sounds and for example store it as csv on the USB Stick.


    And of course one more vote for the editor!
