  • Bringing Up Again - Setting High and Low speed limits of the Rotary

    Quote from BluesmanCD

    Doing a thread search, I've seen requests for this going back years and I'm shocked this hasn't yet been taken care of:

    For sound and feel the Kemper Profiler rotary speaker effect is so much better than my HX Effects, (and while my Boss Rotary pedal had the features i need and sounded good, I noticed a drop in presence when in bypass.) But despite the advantages of the Kemper effect, for the things I use Rotary Speaker for, the slow speed is too slow and the fast speed is way too fast. If you can adjust the rate of virtually any other mod effect and you can adjust the ramp time between the fast and slow settings, why hasn't an an adjustable minimum and maximum rotor speed been added to the Rotary Speaker effect?

    I can't tell you how many times I've suggested this over the years, just to be ignored. I don't understand why this would be any harder to program than anything else this amazing company has done.

  • Kemper Wah Settings

    Quote from KellyMidiMurphy

    Thank you Wheresthedug

    Perfect answer. Especially pertaining to my toe switch when I want to turn it off.

    If you move this around to different locations the biggest problem I have found is remembering the new position. This can royaly screw up your performance. I would therefore caution you to place the "wah" in the same stomp position in whichever profile you want it to be positioned every time, thus no screw ups! I used to use the Mission EP1 - 1 pedal... but long ago found it more a hurdle than a help, than to place a simple Exp pedal with wah ON to bypawhere would need it, and then remove any reference to the Mission Exp pedal when I had no need for any Wah in the profile in it. I works hummingly beautiful this way!! any less thought is required (a big plus in my case :D).

    This is completely argumentative, insulting and inappropriate.

    I really am sorry you took this personally. This was not at all intended to bash you. I am merely disappointed with the sound of the AS with my PRS's and had high hopes that your settings would be eye opening (or ear opening). Chill man, I'm just jealous you got great sounds. I'll keep tinkering around.

    I just can't seem to get enough of the AS!

    I'm baffled with some of the complaints and/or issues some are having.

    Hell, this thing sounds so amazing, my bandmates want me to use it ALL of the time...lol

    I run my KPA (Stage) direct to FOH and use IEM's.


    Here is my recipe:

    Well I am very glad you are satisfied or even thrilled with your "recipe." With my humbucking PRS's your tweaks sound like shit, sorry, nothing personal intended. My 'own' recipe' is a whole lot better with my PRS's, but I would never attach the word "acoustic" to it even. This thing (AS) does NOT imho sound amazing, just deeply disappointing. My bandmates do NOT want me to use it but rarely, never mind "ALL of the time"! FOH is somewhat better, sure, but I can't use IEM's due to being born deaf in one ear, lost plenty in the other over the years. Still - I have 3 beautiful true acoustic guitars that the sim can't even come close to emulating regardless of the monitoring. so - great for you, I'll just keep my alternatives open.


    Cheers!

  • Pedal position store for each preset.

    Quote from paults

    If you program normal pitch at heel, and octave lower at toe, it will start at normal pitch.

    Yes, don't forget you can always program your morphs in reverse; like hi gain or volume at heel (default 'on,' low gain or volume at toe, etc...). I've had to use this reverse programming logic more than I'd like, so I do wish they'd take the suggestion at the home office.

  • [Public Beta] PROFILER OS 8.0.0.21450

    Quote from ChrisB

    Agree. The pure booster might be my most used stomp - both before and after the amp. In fact, all my presets have the pure booster or "boost" eq in the X slot so that I always have a way of boosting my output for those times when I find that I've disappeared in the mix.

    Agree, I do exactly the same thing in the X slot.

  • [Public Beta] PROFILER OS 8.0.0.21450

    This is VERY exciting!! I'll at most be able to try out the new overdrives, can't wait to do this! But I have too many gigs coming up to start changing any rigs - I'm therefore strangely glad they're not compatible with the current OS!

    Great production I must agree and great playing, professional all the way! Not a huge Toto-like fan, a bit too pop for me, but I appreciate great talent. You sure have it Vinnie, and Luke of course has gobs of major talent! (Met him at a Toto concert like 2 years ago of all places). LOL

    Quote from Monkey_Man

    was never told not to change string guages or lower string heights. I don't understand why you would've been told that, Gaz.

    But told it, I was. What can I say? I could have just changed them but I realized I didn't like it for rock anyway, so why go to the trouble. My favorite rock with acoustic was the Music Man JP Maestro with piezo. Only problem with that was a very poor design placement of the pickup selector. Every few strums I'd hit the selector and change from neck to bridge p/u. Most annoying while playing in a club. Great acoustic though!

    Does L6 variax do a convincing emulation?

    I had the gen - 2 for a while. It did a very nice job with ac sim, way better than the Kemper (sorry guys!) and the 12-string, banjo, and sitar sounded really good. What did NOT sound good was using this for rock and roll, not at all. That's why I sold mine after just a month tinkering around with it. I also hated the high action and thick strings they insisted you did not change.

    This demo was just finished today and it has 3 guitar tracks plus the bass.

    FYI, I did this using a Gibson SG

    Cool piece Dan! Could have been a cut on The Beatles Revolver album. Didn't appreciate an acoustic sound to it, almost like a brand new instrument entirely! Good work either way. Still not in love with the AC with my humbuckers despite many tweaks.
