Hi guys, for your information. This is what tech support told me. I'm sure someone will be interested in this data:

"Using both loops with Constant Latency will result in approximately 15 ms latency plus added latency if digital devices are patched into the loops.
Without Constant Latency the latency with both loops is approximately 9 ms plus added latency if digital devices are patched into the loops."

...Add latency from digital devices in the loops (not my case), plus latency from any audio interface used, or latency from digital console in a live situacion (minimum 1.5 ms) plus latency if digital in ears are used (2 ms minimum)...

Hi to everybody!

Anyone knows what is the latency added by each loop block? (two blocks in the Kemper Stage)

Anyone knows if that latency (two sends and returns) is included in the fixed latency figure?

I can't find that info in the manual.

Thanks in advance.

Vai has only ever used Fractal for FX. I suspect the same of Satriani. Last I heard, Meshuggah had switched to plugins...

Meshuggah switched to real amps. First Randall and now Fortin. And Fractal for FX.

Well... Devin Townsend returned to Fractal as he states that “something is missing” in the tones in Kemper. Steve Vai uses Fractal. And Satriani uses Fractal. Meshuggah uses Fractal, and so on...

Is there any way of panning (or muting one output) when using Loop Stereo? I want some rigs to sound only in one side (one cabinet). Thanks in advance.

Fractal Axe Administrator states in their Forum: "The kemper has seven base amp models. It chooses the one closest based on an initial measurement."

Any info on this matter?

Hi,
I'm looking for a rack bag or soft case to transport my Kemper Rack and Remote controller and cables. Looking for the smallest and lightest pack. Any suggestions? I understand there will be many users with this setup.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What's the added latency when using the stereo/mono loop? I suppose it would be A/D conversion time , plus processing time , plus D/A conversion time, that added to the global latency of the Kemper without the loop. Any place to find this data? Thank you.

I had a difficult time trying to DA profile my Mark V:25. This was my setup:
Guitar -> Kemper -> Mesa + Cab -> Mesa Second Speaker out -> DI box -> XLR Return. Didn't work. DA profiles was loose and undefined.

New setup: Guitar -> Kemper -> Mesa + Loadbox -> Mesa Second Speaker out -> DI box -> XLR Return -> Kemper Speaker Output -> Cab.
Profiles are now spot on. And I can A/B through the same cab when I refine the profile. You can download them from RE.

What Loadbox are you using? It seems that cab interaction makes profiles sound not accurate. I've found that if I have both speakers outputs connected (with the Kemper DI between one of them and the cab) profiles sound awful, not usable at all. But if using just one speaker output (leaving the second speaker disconnected) profiles sound much better. Still, NOTHING to do with the Randalls: profiles lack gain, punch, and palm mutes have nothing to do with the Randall chainsaw.

I had faith in using the profiler live... but no way, my Randall heads win all the time.

About a year.

I've tried both the Kemper DI and a Behringer Ultra-G. Exactly same results.

I've tried every level combination possible. Levels are right.

Yes I did but the are too scooped. I'm looking for the real thing. Profiling my own setup. Seems not possible.

Yeah, studio profiles (with mic) sound more or less convincing. But I need DI profiles to play live with my cab.

After much effort on both parts, I've been told by Tech Support that may be the Profiler it's not capable of profiling a classic solid state amp like the Randall RG100ES due to amp architecture. All profiles return a low, sub horrible lows that the reference amp does not have at all. And lack the gain of the original amp. So the reason why I've bought my Kemper + Looper + Kemper DI + amp, which was to record and play live with the profiles of my rig, my own amps, cannot be accomplished. VERY dissapointing. I'll give it a last try and most probably will sell the whole pack in a few days. :(((((

I've been told by tech support that may be the Kemper profiler just can not profile the RG100ES due to amp architecture. Very sad and dissapointing news, and a Kemper + Looper + Kemper DI for sale in a few days :(((((((

I've been trying all afvices from technical support, we are still in the process. I've tried to profile some pedals and it worked ok. I've made a profile of a single cable and it worked ok. Seems that those Randall RG100ES monsters are impossible to profile, or at least is what they are suggesting at tech support... if we continue down this path, my Kemper + Looper + Kemper DI + Power Amp will be on sale in a few days. :((((((

I´m really pissed off that I can't profile the amps I've been working with for the last 12 years. :((((

Upgraded today to 4.0.3. Same thing.

I've initialised rigs as they recommended me in technical support.

I've made a "Flash Init", factory restore, as they told me in technical support.

Still the same thing. Clean profiles sound well. but when trying to profile the Randall Rg100ES... the profile sounds just like a subwoofer. I've made about 50 profiles just today with very similar settings in the amp: some sound clean, some sound distorted, some sound very compressed, all bad. And none of them has the gain and punch of the amp. Waiting for solutions from tech support again.

I'm running 3.3. I was thinking about installing the new 4 Beta, but it seems it has many stability issues yet. In any case... I need a solution, because my profiler is just unusable at the moment: no profile sounds even close to the original, that low end, low sub is killing me :(((((((
