Yes, Ash has mentioned this thread idea to me, and I look forward to it very much!
Bring it on, Brother Ash!
LOL, it took me three edits to get gain in there man, the beer is not making smarter!!

But... beer makes everyone else King of the World, mate. You sure you're drinking German brew? -
Oh, it's like that is it, GianFrancBro'?
Well, I'm done here too then.

Fascinating.
Thanks AJ.

Yup. I reckon the line outs sound superb, pristine, awesome and... perfect.
I get the feeling that many, by default, assume that the digital output will by its very nature yield superior results.
In the real world, however, I doubt very much that this is the case; if there is a difference, nobody would hear it IMHO.

Thank you, Dan!
Not man-enough to test yet...

Not by a long shot.

You could charge your Playstation controller so when you're done playing your guitar...

I made something similar back in the '90s with a 50¢ piezo, a piece of gaffa tape and a metal plate.
Don't know what they're charging, but my guess is that someone's making a quid or two...

I wrestled with that for a while. I could've used my X3 Pro or HD500, and tempting as it was 'cause I'd grown to love and depend on the VDI connection, I opted instead to use the L6 stomp-styled analogue power supply. Planet Waves makes pretty good gold TRS cables that work well for the Variax <--> power-supply connection. I have one as a spare but for now use a Neutrik gold TRS / Canare cable combination.
The VDI connection is superb; that's why I've always loved it, and I even have 3 or 4 cables. The negligible difference between the two connection methods sound-quality wise is, in my case, far outweighed by the impracticality of running two units, both for power-consumption and space reasons.
I've followed a number of threads and watched videos about using the HD as a floor controller for the Kemper, but the complexity of setup, along with the aforementioned space and power requirements, have meant that I'm yet to be convinced to go there. Being a luddite who's far too many hats to wear as it is, I tend to err on the side of the KISS principle... with emphasis on the final "S".

I've been participating in and following the BeerGutz thread for ages. The system is the real deal for those who seek HQ-vintage mic characteristics for their recording endeavours.
The system is now shipping after many delays; it was first announced more than 2 years ago. Mine's booked and I'm lay-buying it. If you order before August 31st, you receive the first expansion pack (3 more mic models) for free ($300 US RRP).
Here're the "official" threads for anyone who's interested:

Thank you, RockTong, and welcome, mate!

For me the Kemper has already done what I wanted in capturing my studio amps so accurately. It is a lot of fun and the fx section is way better than other live setups I have used before. If you are looking for dual amps, why not treat it like any other amp and buy a second Kemper to run alongside the first one?
If they are going to bring out updated hardware that would have to be considered very carefully, rather than just add a couple of features here and there. Constant hardware updates lower the opinion of a company and makes them look money hungry.
Exactly, karlic.IMHO, the more years Kemper can squeeze out of the current design, the greater the amount of respect it will demand as the unit becomes ever-more unique in a world where fools everywhere rush to market in money-hungry fits with, comparatively speaking, thought-bubble products who's lifespans are curtailed due to behind-the-scenes developments by the time they hit the shelves.
Sure, there'll always be pressure for the eventual update, but again, IMHO, the bulk of it emanates from those seeking dual-amping, which from where I'm sitting appears to be the only task our beloved beastie isn't capable of. The recurring requests for higher-sample-rate operation are borne out of ignorance of the fact that the D/A converters (and A/D for that matter) are more than adequate for their purposes; there'd be nothing to be gained by, for example, doubling their rates.
An editor application, enhancements to RM and FX updates are all easily accommodated by the existing, original and ground-breaking design... IMHO.
Hold onto your cards Kemper, I say, 'cause you've dealt yourself a combined Full House and Royal Flush!
Welcome to the forum, karlic!

The ADA MP1 and Chameleon were great for so many things but this is like being on a different planet.
Very happy.
Exactly, right? Same here mate.Tweaking-all-day days, be gone!

... high grain underwear...
Well, considering how long you wear yours between washes I reckon that if you drop a few seeds down there they're likely to sprout, Ash. If they grow up past your belt you'll have high grains.Just sayin'. Could help you save a few bucks.

There's a blank option at the top of either the preset or FX-type menu. Not sure which...
Left knob for FX Type and right knob for presets.

Great vid Paul. Thank you for sharing it, mate.
The match with "Anger" is scarily good IMHO.
