Not sure if this works for you, but I have the FCB1010 with Eurekaprom and have found that if I turn everything on at once(Via power bar) that it will not send info. If I leave the FCB1010 turned off until the KPA boots up then I don't seem to have the issue.

I have the Uno4Kemper EPROM installed which works as fine as it should.

For a testcase I wanted the old default behaviour of the FCB and reinstalled the old EPOM- which doesn't do anything. As mentioned, Expression Pedals are working fine, but by stepping on the buttons 1-10 only this strange icon appears in the display.

What bugs me is the fact that I used the Tech21 Midi Moose before and everything was fine! And that thing is really puristic.

I just bought a Behringer FCB1010 and when trying to change my rigs in performance mode - nothing happens.
I made a factory reset on the Board, and the Kemper is recieving MIDI Changes via OMNI. So that should be fine.

I can see that the Expression Pedals do send correct values but each time, i am stepping on button 1-10 to change my rigs nothing happens. Instead, a tiny arrow symbol appears after the rig name (at the far right corner of the display) and disappears after on second. I've never seen this symbol before. So what could it mean?

Hallo zusammen,
bin seit 4 Wochen im Besitz eines Kemper Poweramps. Bin von der Qualität der Sounds absolut begeistert. Hab mir meine benötigten Sounds zu Hause über 2 normale Mittelklasse-Monitore eingestellt und war erst mal sehr zufrieden. Habe den Kemper bei 4 Live-Gigs auf unterschiedlich großen Bühnen über meine 4x12er Marshall-Box gespielt und mußte feststellen dass das was aus der Monitoranlage kam, mir klanglich besser gefiel. Ich hatte "Monitor Cab off".
Ich möchte es jetzt mal mit einer FRFR-Box probieren. Das einzig Sinnvolle scheint mir da die "BlueAmps 212 FR" oder die "Matrix FR212" in der Passiv-Version zu sein.
Hat da jemand Erfahrung mit oder gibt es sonstige empfehlenswerte Alternativen?

Habe eine selbstgebaute FRFR Box bestehend aus dem Camper 112 Plus Kit von Blue Amps + Ritter und dem dazu passenden Gehäuse (http://shop.ritteramps.de/en/f…-camper-plus-diy-kit.html).
Da ich nur noch zu Hause über Studiomonitore spiele, möchte ich sie wieder verkaufen. Für kleine Bühnen und Proberäume ist das Teil perfekt. Vielleicht hast du ja Interesse?

Now that's a very good comment, Monkey_Man!

I had the same experience, that monitors like the KRK or the ADAMS kind of overpronounce the high frequencies and make the high-gain sounds sound so harsh.

Right now I am testing the Samson SE6 which do the kemper a better justice. They are not so harsh as for example the KRKs.

I find that boosting the 2.5 kHz frequencies on high gain sounds makes the overall sound more direct, compressed and "in your face". Since my old samsons had a peak there I will experiment with that and tweak my settings just a little.

The Headphone sound is almost identical when comparing with a pair of the better monitors (I'm using the AKG K121 Studio Headphones). Compared to the old samsons it's quite different as mentioned before.

I am using an old pair of Samson Resolv 40a Studio Monitors for my Kemper. I bought these almost 10 years ago and my ears got used to them pretty much. In fact they are basically really cheap monitors (I paid 100 Euro for both!) so I decided to make an upgrade here...

So recently I compared the ADAM F5, Rokit G3 and the Samson Resolv SE6 with my old samsons...The difference is HUGE. But in a certain negative way.

When trying out some "higher quality" monitors I am encountering an ENORMOUS amount of high-gain fizz when playing distorted sounds. To be honest - I can't stand the sound of any distortion presets on theses monitors at all. They sound terrible!

In comparison with the old samsons it's a completely different sound characteristic. Like changing a guitar cabinet on your amp. Which is crazy at all, because even when they are cheap monitors - they have a linear frequency curve and should at least sound similar to other ones.

So I tried to use an EQ to make the high gain profiles on the new monitors sound as close as possible to my old samsons. I attached a screenshot of my EQ settings in Logic.
So you can see - it seems the old samsons have LOTS of high frequencies missing with a peak around 2.5khz - which comes in handy when playing high-gain sounds! Cause with this settings there is NO fizz, but warm and fat tone. Love it.

So right now I am pretty confused. Since all other speakers I tried sound the same in a negative way (fizzy sound) I am not shure if i can trust my old samsons - cause I want to have presets on my kemper which sound great on all speakers, not just my old ones.

What are your thoughts about this? Have you encountered similar problems? What monitors are you using and how are your high-gain profiles sound?

Regards, Stefan

Midi Moose works perfectly with 3.0.

I also give you the advice to check on which midi channel your KPA is recieving information. Should be set to omni.

Thanks, M.!

Just finished installing my c+ into the Palmer cab yesterday evening. Lemme tell ya, with my tennis elbow condition, it was impossible to screw in anything past the first six screws of the back panel by hand.

Had to get me one of these, it's a stellar tool and I can highly recommend it for working in tight spaces.

That's true. Installing the 14 screws on the inside of the cab was a pain in the ass. It's impossible with a tiny screwdriver. I used a small electric one

I don't have a remote.

At first I thought you were wrong but no - there are now two different settings pages for LCD contrast... one for the kemper, one for the remote. That makes sense after all. However it should not look THAT fucked up - even when no remote is connected. Shurely must be a bug.

So after upgrading to FW 3.0.0 I am confronting several display issues.

For example look at this picture. It's from the system settings menu where you can adjust the LCD contrast, etc.

The whole thing is pretty fucked up and the knobs don't do anything.

Well, here is a a problem that occur often when you change from one FRFR box for a new one. You use you tweeked profiles (with your older cab) with your new cab and boom too much of bass not enough of mids etc. The best way is to compare the new cab with a good studio monitor, not with your older cab which was most probably not especially flat itself. Or you can also choose somme untweeked profiles (from M Britt for example) which has the reputation to be very thru.

Maybe you're right and the C+ kit is too much bassy, but maybe it was your older cab that lack of bass and if it's the case then you will have to tweek all your profiles and not apply a general EQ to this cab.

Nope. I'm playing over studio monitors at home and dial in my sounds that way. When I'm in the rehearsal room I use the master EQ to make the sound fit to the guitar cabinet that is used.

I find the different rig presets inside the kemper THAT good that I tweak the sound only minimal. Maybe a bit more/less definition or presence that's all. I didnt' touch the bass at all.

I agree that a FRFR cab should be as neutral as a studio montor.

But to be honest - it's basically not a studio montior. It's still a guitar cabiniet with only a full reponse speaker built into it. So I think you still have to play with the master EQ settings...

By the way: The DIY Kit sounds awesome once you dialed in your EQ settings...

Quote from Controll

so - first one here.

i have picked it up directly at ritter amps in dresden (germany) and talked a little with tilman about it. - very nice person indeed.

yesterday i had some spare time, so i could build it into my palmer.
first i only tried the grfr (easy to install - only the 12" speaker) - sounded not very good / linear to me, very bassy.
then i build in the tweeter and additional i filled the inside with a blanket - tackered around the walls - preventing the venting holes (!).
after turning the monitor eq bass to -5 it sounds awesome. - as well the grfr and the frfr. (i prefer the frfr - postrock/clean/crunchy player)

i played it in rehearsal yesterday evening and i can hear my self very good, fat, warm, present without to turn it as loud as much as my marshall 1960 with greenbacks.

so i can only recommend getting one, if you dont have yet.

I can agree.

I tested the box yesterday and indeed it is VERY bassy. I had to turn down the Bass and Mids to -3 and -2 to get rid of the boominess and to clear the sound.

After that the sound is great. I used a 4x12 Cab before and this little thing is as loud as the large cab. The sound is very crisp, differentiated and compact. Even my bandmates were excited about it.

Quote from ReneLangenhan

Reading this... i wonder why Kemper didn't just add a parallel and a serial wired 1/4" jack to the speaker output?
I mean it's really just 2 simple jacks, one of them with a switching function, and it would make life so much easier for anyone playing more than one cabinet.

At least I don't think it's a space issue with the KPA's enclosure.

I totally agreee... it's kinda bitter that the poweramp output is only mono. I mean, everything inide the kemper is "stereo" - the main outputs are stereo - but you cannot play stereo with two cabinets since the monitor out is only mono.

I recieved my kit today.... Can't wait to try it out. I have rehearsal with my band on saturday. I'll let you guys know what I think.

That's exactly what I was looking for!!

Quote from viabcroce

Yep, even a Y-(cab)cord will do the job. Just keep in mind the overall impedance: the cabs are connected in parallel, and the impedance would be AB/(A+B)

You mean if I connect two 8 Ohm cabs the impedance will result in 4 Ohms?

8*8 / (8+8) = 4

That's exactly what I was looking for!!

And without Link ?
