Well, I liked it very much, doesnt sound so "compressed" as others simulators.

Would like to test it

Hey Everyone!

I haven't fully committed to the Kemper, yet. But have spent hours researching the Kemper the last few weeks and am heavily considering making the jump from my Dr Z Maz 18 amp to a Kemper. I'm also thinking of ditching my pedals (partially to fund the amp/remote) and using the remote for the Kemper. I play live shows pretty often and we are likely to start touring here in the near future, I also play for the worship band at my church and practice with a band weekly. The biggest appeal to the Kemper is largely the ability to "have it all". Being able to have a profile of the Maz 18 and then a Morgan AC20/40 an old Deluxe Reverb, etc. I previously owned a Line 6 Helix and the inability to ever dial in a "great" tone was pretty discouraging for me. I owned one for over a year and always felt that it was great for a worship setting but when I'd practice alone I rarely enjoyed my sound. That would be my biggest hesitation with the Kemper, however, from everything I've seen the Kemper seems to surpass the Helix with flying colors (not that the Helix can't get some great tones, I however, was just unable to find some I loved). I also played a Kemper the other day and was blown away by the intuitiveness of the amp as I found a tone that I thought was pretty stellar within a 30-60 mins.

I'm mostly getting my feet wet and just getting a feel for the Kemper community. Thus far, everyone seems pretty welcoming and nice! Excited to continue down this path for a while. Here is a photo from the studio the other day to help keep things interesting.

with the KPA you have a snapshot of a miked amp / direct profile, not the real thing , as you may know.

i didnt sell any of my amps after getting the kpa., theyre are just diferent tools.

I would try the KPA first for a period of time before dicthing your gear

Bem vindo

Quote from Basti1987

At the Thomann interview both said that they didnt tour with their kempers cause they dont push the same amount of air compared to their victory amps.

Dont know if that was the victory endorser speaking or if thats their honest opinion.

they could use the Steve Vai solution: at 4.44

Isn't common knowledge that in mixing, you should mostly cut, and not add?

quote from a pro mixer:

"I mix with my ears , not my eyes , so if I go blind, I can still do my work "

"But I wanna have a good tone right out of Kemper, thats the goal for me..."

but where are the KPA recordings with that kind off tone ?

maybe you are raising the bar to high ........

i think the "problem" maybe be in the KPA amp section.

what about bypassing the amp section , and use just a stomp box and the cab section ?

i tried to get some room sound , but didnt like it very much , sounded a bit muffled 8 but didnt wasted much time with it) , the chain:

reamped guitar track through the KPA , KPA output to powered studio monitor and miked that with an condenser

Quote from Tritium

Never used an isolation box...but doesn't such a system, by design, pretty much eliminate the unique reverberation and complex reflections of a particular "room". I mean, isn't an iso box basically a miniature anechoic chamber?

it removes the room reflections but not the "air movement" between mike and speaker.
in fact its a "little room".
its not perfect , but its a lot better than an emulator , IR´s etc.
ive build an cheap iso-box but only to remove the room ambience from the mikes , and it sounded really good, but off course
didnt resolve the volume issue.

Did you watch pacocity's video? https://youtu.be/L_wq-pfAXt8
That's an extreme example but while strumming his open chords it makes a raspy, distorted (not in the good sense) sound. I hear this even with most Marshall-esque commercial profiles as well.

yes i did

Quote from SonicExporer

When you say iso box, do you mean a standard 12" guitar speaker cab in an iso box/chamber, or something else?

im using this one with a 12" or 10"

http://grossmann-audio.de/en/

please enlighten me, "congested" = compressed ?

because thats what i noticed , when hiting a chord in a semi-clean / semi-overdrive profile , it compress a lot more than the real
amp.

also , the KPA elminates all the room reverb , make it feel like playning in an anechoic chamber, not natural al all ,
and no kind or reverb solves that.

i know they are tecnical limitations , it just depend what are our needs imho.

right now im having better resuts with real amps and a iso-box.

asap i will be doing some tests with KPA vs real amp + iso box

maybe we raised the bar to high and a emulator / profiler just cant sound 100% like a real amp ?

in the end it´s just another tool

Quote from saxbell68

Is it possible for Kempers (non-powered) to have a break in period? I just got a hold of a second unit and when comparing them on identical settings the newer one sounds just a tad more boxy than the first one. I'm wondering if it just sounds like that because it's new and hasn't been played as much as the older unit.

yeah, bits and bytes sound better the more are played.

play it hard for a couple of days , and report back

Quote from sinmix

Yes, also 3 diff shure sm57 were used. So its not a cab comparison even speaker comparison but sm57 comparison.
Stay Metal!

no KPA was harmed in this test i presume
