Yup, looked cool and sounded great, but you'd better be hitting the record button before you played a note.

Could you be more-specific, mate?

Someone mentioned elsewhere (think it was GString) that there was a major upgrade to the web server planned so it looks like it might have happened and it has worked.
As I said, brother Alan.
Makes you think of course that Kemper has finished the "revamp"...

Welcome and happy 50th, Grale!

Welcome, Ambient.

Yeah Alan, it's been at least 4 days here I think. Good call mate.
Makes you think of course that Kemper has finished the "revamp", as opposed to reamp.

For me what makes it great is that glorious mid-range sing.
Awesome, man.

Used gold-plated strings on bass once back in the '80s. Never have I experienced such a quick loss of "gloss". They sounded superb for slap and pop, but that lasted all of 15 minutes!
Figured the coating was simply too-soft for practical use. For a one-off recording, if I could have afforded it, I'd have used them again for sure.

Nothing else digital responds as authentically or sounds as detailed and organic IMHO.
That should be all you need to know, Martin.

Gee, thank you!

I think it's the guitar.
That "funky" (not in a good way) resonant vibration is something I've encountered with a couple of guitars in the past. I wasn't able to do anything about it, unfortunately. In my case it usually manifested on the thicker strings and from perhaps the 10th fret upwards. In your case the particular resonant vibrations produced by your G string may be the culprit. The overdrive range that brings it to the fore is likely adding harmonics which make it easier-to-hear.
Could it be that the Kemper is simply revealing a flaw that wasn't apparent before when using your previous gear? Just throwing this out there.

Another nice rig attached.
TS808 to 6505 to Marshall Mode 4 V30 cab
Thank you, Mick!

Hi you guys, I can't believe I did it... Finally pulled the trigger, bought the ticket and now I get to live in KEMPERLAND..!
Awesome man! Congrats.

Thank you, Mick.

Welcome, halipino.

So for example, if an amp was recorded/profiled with a tube screamer, compressor, whatever, those effects will already be baked into a profile and cannot be disabled?
Yeah, they'd be baked-in. That might be what you want, however.
So it would be better to take like a plain cab profile and add the effects afterwards maybe?
The exact behaviours of compressors and stomps employed in a setup would've been captured in the Profile, whereas if you add them using the Kemper's FX, you'd be using conventional DSP models and therefore losing something in the way of authenticity, the silver lining being that you'd be able to edit them.
As for your original questions, I know what you were getting at, so with that in mind:
It's a bit confusing because something like this peavy 6505+ goes from 0-10 while the kemper goes from -5 to 5 in regards to bass, mid, and treble.
Just try a 1:1 scale as a starting point. IOW, assume that 5 on the amp = 0 on the Kemper.
While I'm at it, is bass/mid/treble the same exact thing as low/mid/high?
Yes.
What do the pre/post nobs translate to on the Kemper?
You can move the Stack EQ (the tone knobs) pre or post-amp. This can't be done for individual bands; the position is taken by all four knobs.
How can you change resonance on the Kemper?
The Tone Stack knobs aren't adjustable in this way, as is the case with real amps. Resonance is available if you need it in EQ FX, which you can place in any slot.

Thank you, Thumas.

Ceddy, you'll find it on the first page if you go here, uploaded 2020-07-06:

The point being to give the dealers a tool to know when someone has purchased an amp to profile it and then return it for a refund. I'm going to be honest and say that I think this is a good idea, it does not seem fair that someone would purchase an amp, profile it and then return it for a refund, especially if they sell the profiles. I have no idea how often this happens but I suspect that it does to some extent.
Agree 100%, Tim.
I definitely get the "buy the amp to profile it and send it back". It may be legal and within the framework of the seller/buyer agreements, but I'd argue that it's wrong, particularly when a profit is being made. That action violates the good faith existence of return agreements. Just because something is legal or agreed to doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, particularly with companies who go a long way to make sure customers are taken care of.
Agreed, mate; it's disingenuous at best.
... there are lots of people who own the amps they profile and use it for convenience, including mid to high end touring artists. It's not as simple as "bought a Kemper, didn't own the amp".
I agree again; I alluded to this earlier.

Renaud, there's a serious Captain Fingers / Captain's Journey vibe to that piece, mate, and that alone qualifies it as being great IMHO.
Love the chika-chika wah, of course...
