  • STEREO RIGS - I don´t want to buy a Quad Cortex

    Two amps at once IS NOT the solution. Two amps only will add complexity to fine setup your sound in gigs, and will not sound at all like two guitarrist at stage.

    I have both Kemper stage and Fractal FM9, and for me those sound very good, Kemper sounds a little better in dirty cleans and mid-gain sounds and have more natural feel, and maybe fractal sounds little better in cleand and hi-gains (and have better effects). Dual amp and cab in fractal FM9 dont make so much difference in average sound quality, at last you only nottice that is more difficult to set up your sound because you have more parameters and interactions.

    You must try double tracker in kemper, that effect make a decent work simulating stereo double track on live guitars

  • Kemper Stage - How Many MIDI Devices?

    you don't need each device to have a dedicated midi channel. In cases of need, two or more devices can share a midi channel, they just have to listen to different commands. To connect more than one midi device to the Kemper, the device to be connected must have a midi thru connector, or use a midi splitter.

  • Bigger name label for Ipad editor in performance mode

    Hi all I would like to have the ability to set the text size for the rig name tag, if the rig name could be made bigger it would be fabulous. The Ipad editor is a great tool for live performances, because it allows you to have close to the information of the rig names, but right now, the rig name labels are very small, it is difficult to see them a bit for those of us who are not so young 8o

  • little screen on remote, lets see it closer with a tablet

    hello,

    I am 53 years old and my vision is not as good that it used to be, so when i am in stage with my Kemper and remote, i have to duck to read the screen. This is neither good for rock and roll, nor for my back :D

    I have the idea of get a tablet (Ipad), with a midi interface, conect it to the Kemper and try to read the midi commands when change presets so I can get the preset name of performance and the names of the profilles assigned in the five buttons of it. That is the idea, but no idea of how to make it ^^^^ I Know that midi designer 2 app let you design a interface in Ipad with buttons rollers... etc to send and read midi commands to any midi device and make you own control surface for your midi device, so it can be a good start point.

    Some idea?


    Thank you

  • Problems with looper

    Me too. Same problem. SPDIF output here. Looks like the cabsim changes with the patch changes when looper are active and there some recorded in the looper (the sound changes in the recorded sound of the looper,the live sound in the guitar is normal)

  • Morph mode indicator

    Let's see if someone can think of something:I have a Behringer controller with the UNOforKemper chip. I use the morph to make a booster by modifying the rig to my liking for solos (+ volume, + gain, slightly EQ modify, delay ...), and I activate it by pressing the same preset button on the pedal board that is set (so switch between the two modes you have set the morphing for that preset). Everything works perfect, but I have no way of knowing visually in which of the modes I am, in the screen of the Kemper only comes a thin line in morph mode that I cant see at two feet. I would like to have a led, screen color change or some way of knowing if I am in solo or rhythm mode (often it is not something evident in the sound with the band), and I dont have idea that what I can do for that.

  • Spdif at 44100, or analog input at 96/192 k for recording

    Well, think that in the songs there is more things than guitars, and the benefits of more sampling rate is not only high max frecuency, but also more resolution for internal processing of the effects, mix, less aliasing...... If only the max frecuency were important, then no more of 44100 hz. would be used to record in any case.
    My question is if a D-A/A-D conversion from analog out kemper to analog in of the interface at higher sample rate will sound better at final mix than a SPdif direct digital recording at lower samplerate (with a lower samplerate cubase project)

  • Spdif at 44100, or analog input at 96/192 k for recording

    Hello, I just have bought a used Focusrite Sappire Pro 26 IO, and making figure of what better recording settings I must use. Previously I have a Lexicon Omega and becouse its mediocre AD/DA conversors, I always record guitars thru SPdif and make the cubase projects at 44100 for compatibility, but now I wonder if would be better to forget SPdif (and the 44100 limitation) and go thru analog and set higher samplerates (96k/192K). What do you think that will be better for the quality of the complete project? do you think that use analog inputs (and high samplerate) will compromise quality of guitar tracks with regard to using spdif?
    Thank you

  • Sound differences when switching between studio monitors and headphones

    I think that your problem may be that you have set your sounds to sound good on headphones, and you are used to listen your guitar throught headphones. When you change the output device ALWAYS must adjust global EQ to that device in main or monitor output, because every speaker/cab (or location of the cab) will change the apreciation of the EQ and must be corrected

  • Fender Frontman 212R

    I see the specs for the Fender Frontman 212R and in the the power amp input I can see this:


    POWER AMP INPUT:
    IMPEDANCE: 10KΩ
    SENSITIVITY: 930mV for 100W into 4Ω @ 1 kHz


    Anyone knows the output of the Kemper in mV?

  • Fender Frontman 212R

    Yesterday I use for first time my new Fender Frontman to monitor my Kemper in a live gig. My first attempt was to use monitor output on the Kemper to power amp in the Amp, because I dont want the coloration of the normal input of the amp, but the power amp looks dont have enought sensivility for the monitor output of the Kemper, and I have to set it to max volume, and still would need a little more volume. There is some setting in kemper to up the monitor signal? (like the -12 db for the normal output setting).


    My workaround was to plug the kemper in normal input of the amp, and playing a little with the EQ, not bad sound, but I would prefer to use the power amp input. If the kemper can not give more level on monitor, I will try to modify the power amp input of the Amp, by lower the first resistor of the amp's input.
    Some advice to up the monitor output level?


    Thank you in advance

  • Line 6 L2T ? Any Good ?

    FR/FR = same sound that you have in PA, better overall emulation (cab sound the same that profile), no cab-like sound, and possible pickup feedback in hi-gain/high volume because the tweeter. -if you use multiple sounds, this is your better choice-


    real cab= cab-like sound (logical, it's a cab), more real amp sound, but the sound in the stage will be different that the sound on PA, and the profiles will sound different in the Stage that originally was designed, because the cab. -If you use only a few sounds, this is your better choice-


    its my opinion... :)

  • Fernandes Sustainer and Kemper anybody? - odd artefacts audible

    I have a fernandes Sustainer that works perfect in my toaster, but when I bought the guitar (used) it comes to me with lots of stranger noises when turn on the sustainer. I opened the guitar and adjust the internal trimmers for the sustainer (there is documentation for sustainer in the web). After that, it works perfect.
