I’m interested....
(Thanks)
Sorry its take so long to respond, but this is the flight case my mate bought and managed to screw it down so he can easily transport it safely...it stays permanently in the flight case..

Maybe the Morph-function could help. At least with two profiles.
You could make a Profile at the starting Gain-setting of the amp and a second at the higher Gain-setting. Afterwards you could copy These Settings (Gain, Amp-Parameters, EQs, Volumes) into the first Profile as the morphing-end-Setting.
Not quite what I mean. I don;t want to access more profiles but suggested making the profiles more accurate.
As you adjust gain, eq etc on a profile, it will be an approximation of what the real amp would do. I suggesting that the profiling process could include more than one setting...this is why there are multiple profiles of the same amp at different settings.
I'm thinking - profile one chanel of an amp at full gain, mid gain and low/no gain. Then the KPA has the reference points to work out how it sounds inbetween...meaning when you then adjust the gain its likely to be much closer than if it was profiled at full gain and you turn the gain down on the KPA.
Just a thought...

Asking for anymore seems greedy...but...
Profiling...its a snapshot of the amp at a particular setting. Is there anyway that 3 profiles (or more) taken at extreme settings could be combined so that the eq and gain changes could be more aligned to the real amp (I know this has been asked before..)? Not sure the processing power is there but just another thought.
This is more of a general request so happy to move this to feature requests as I suspect its a fairly big change so perhaps outside the scope of 6.0...

For we "live use" guys .....
It would be SOOOO nice to have a feature where we could manage an entire show .... as follows:
This would really make a huge difference for people that gig live alot.
It would be very useful for those who use a performance or rig per song. Persoanlly I don;t use it this way ( I only use it live as well).
Only mention it not to diss your request but to flag that I think the way you use is limited to a certain number of users not all live users.
BTW total Kudos if you do follow wonderful tonight with Enter Sandman

Hopefully this is a simple feature to implement and would be very welcome. The only problem is there are thousands of profiles out there that would need tagging!
Even if its from now I think it would be a help and useful to the profile creators as well - re-stimulate some sales perhaps?

V8guitar you can currently assign remote stomps buttons from the KPA without taking the remote out. Under the rig menu (can't remember which page) you can press 'assign' and the FX you want to. That is something I have learned here on the forum as well
aside of that, great ideas, this would be great to be managed directly from the editor
I didn't know that, I'll check it out. Would still be good to do it via the editor as well though...but thanks for letting me know
-
In the absence of someone clever I would suggest making a demo rig with a test preset. Stick it in a performance then delete the test preset in browser mode. If it works as we all expect then you are good to go on a Kemper clear out. If it doesn't then you learned something valuable which you can tell us all about because we are too scared to delete presets ourselves
Its easier to ask someone clever
I keep meaning to try it but I'm not organised enough to truely test it.. -
Im not a pedal guy but I know people swear by their TS etc. Its a well made point by Don that even for the same pedal there is no common reference point...bit like a vintage strat - its the inconsistency that's part of the charm.
So isn't the only real answer is to somehow be able to profile your fav pedal ?
Seems a bit overkill when you can profile you fav Amp and pedal but I get why people might want just the pedal itself..
-
Yes right. But I wont pay for an amp I dont use. So my best move was to pay for The Kemper first , unpower, then buy what I need for amp (and still be able to sell it later and upgrade. That was my plan
Of course that's a viable option. for me I knew I needed a power amp straight away. I cannot emphasize the convenience of having it in one box.
For me there are only 3 reasons not to go powered:
Cost - but that's offset against separate power amp or powered speaker
Stereo - no point if not going FOH stereo
You want to add "valve" power amp - for me not an issue as that is what the KPA does, emulate a valve amp. Some people think its missing something, but for me it turns the KPA into an effects rack rather than a complete solution
-
So far, I've only been using performances to invoke profiles and haven't used the stomps. I can use Rig Manager to set the profile for a performance slot but didn't realize you had to use the physical remote hardware to configure the stomps, so I'd like to second this suggestion.
My understanding was that a performance stores a copy of everything it uses. Is that not the case with all aspects?
You need the remote to assign the effects to particular switches on the remote. So for example, if I have a clean profile in slot 1 but I also want to be able to switch chorus on and off like a stomp. I can allocate Chorus to the slot but not to a button on the remote, I need the remote to do that. Its dead easy, just hold the relevant foot switch down at the same time as the button on the KPA but you need the remote to do it.
I think you are right on the second part but I was hoping someone would say its not needed...which means I could just delete rigs and custom renamed stomps....someone clever will tell me ( cue Nicky/ingolf/paults/sambrox/sharry etc
) -
Not a request but an endorsement that showing the morphing settings on the editor is a big bonus to me.
If its possible, I'd liek the ability to set up the remote as well using the editor? I imagine a graphic of the remote and I can set the stomps up against the relevant switch? at present, to set up my live rig I have to unpack my remote etc.
I imagine its not too difficult because the KPA I assume stores this information anyway? Its not vital but it would be so cool and another advantage of having the remote.
The only other thing that would be really useful in my mind is if we could see what presets are currently linked to a performance or rig.
In other words, I'm not sure across my performances which presets have been allocated and which are not used. I'm unsure if I delete one that is allocated to a rig that I lose it?? If not, then its no problem but if it is then it would be very useful. I think some of this was what might have been meant by preset management.
It would help in the housekeeping of my KPA as I'd know what I can safely delete.
...and I've not said thank you yet for listening, but thank you Kemper team!

Could I request the inclusion of an identifier for merged profiles ( I've put a thread in feature requests as well)? I hope it's a simple change/inclusion

Normally I prefer rack mount gear, but when I changed cars that went out the window. The back space in a C5 was big enough for a four space rack and one 12 cab plus guitars. The C7 is much, much smaller, which was the beginning of the journey that lead to the Kemper because I couldn't fit rack + speaker.
I only mentioned the flight case because the one he had was not much bigger than the toaster. I'll try to get more details.
Worst comes to the worst, ditch the KPA and just rev the C5....v8 burble sounds better than any guitar amp
-
Expensive but the best ( in my mind)....Bare knuckle. They do a wide range of voicings to suit style and guitar and if you contact them they will give you direct advice depending upon guitar or style.
Otherwise, Seymour JB is always a good heavy rock pickup...
Or go mad and get EMG's a la Zakk Wylde...they are very tight and aggressive. Some people love actives and some don;t, but listen to any Zakk period Ozzy to hear what they sound like..
-
I'm sort of excited about the cab, and not....
I'm still a simple plug in and play type of Guy ( play on my name there...) . Whilst the tweak-ability is great, it gives me more to get wrong ;0
I'm more interested in the fact its designed for the Kemper so less debate on which speaker should I buy, as a result it will be more accurate, plus its green!!
-
Oh I got you now. You might be completely right about that. The interaction between several speakers might throw off the otherwise correct simulation of just one of them acting alone.
You know why we are speculating... because we would be eager to try this NOW but we just can't. Not yet.
Totally!
BUT, nothing to stop you putting 1 speaker into a 4x12....I love the look of a 4 x12 and I'd like the FRFR type nature somehow, so....plus I image the speakers won't be cheap!
-
-
Ok, but let's just keep it simple. We all know that different size cabinets and number of speakers sound different. For each their own. You don't like 4x12s and that is fine. Others think different.
But what I'm saying is, will the Kemper speaker really behave like a V30 (or whatever given speaker) in ANY of those formats? If they have really accomplished that, it would be remarkable. And I believe that's what they claim to have done.
Doh - I think I misunderstood you.
You mean changing your current speakers in your 4 x12 for the new Kemper/celestion ones ? Sorry I though you meant just run the new speaker "profiles" through your current cab.
In that case it will work BUT there is the unpredictability of the cabinet itself. CK said they would offer them for retro fit so interesting if the DSP will account for the config...
Sorry for the confusion, I'll shut up and sit at the back

My friend has just bought a toaster and bought a flight case for it to protect it...
No idea why he bought that and not the rack version BUT it adds very little size to the toaster and gives it full protection, meaning you could then put it anywhere with a bit more confidence..
Let me know if of interest and I can get the details...
-
No reason it won't work with an external amp. They are also suggesting a possible future powered version..
