I bought the pack on Thursday and love it. Just about every profile is usable in some way or another and require minimal tweaking. Another home run, Michael!

Here is another one we just released yesterday from the same sessions. All guitars Kemper. All Mbritt profiles. I can't remember all the profiles we used but I do know that the cleaner rhythm guitars are once again the 65 champ. Most of the dirtier guitars are the Mbritt 69 Marshall and once again the solo is the LDW 2.2 from his first pack. I think there is an AC15 profile on this one somewhere as well. None of the profile's are tweaked. I never tweak profiles for recording or live. I just go through them until I find the one that works and use it. I ended up using the LDW 2.2 for all the solos on the 4 songs. Something about that profile is magic when I record with it. Solo is the profile straight with no stomps in front.

The 2020 Pack is fantastic. Michael's profiles just keep getting better and better. Thanks for taking my mind off of this COVID-19 crap!!!

I will definitely be getting a powered version whenever it's released!

I gig with my KPA in a Gator 3 space rack bag and then put the rack bag on this On Stage Stands amplifier stand:

Lots of great info here. I will chime in with my opinion.
I'm a professional guitar player in the NYC area and play with one of the top event bands on the east coast. We don't use traditional amplification and everyone runs direct into the PA system and we all monitor with IEM's, so my experience with the Kemper is primarily in a live situation playing funk, R&B , Top 40 & some rock. I haven't found anything better than Michael Britt's profiles for this application (and I've tried a few other commercial profilers that have been listed in this thread). Michael's profiles come the closest to the "real thing", sit in the mix perfectly with a full band in a live situation, and require minimal tweaking. I'm always willing to try other people's profiles but none of them have come close to Michael's for my situation (and our soundmen have also agreed).

Try blending in some direct guitar in the Amp section for a pure string sound.
I've actually tried doing that but it doesn't sound quite the same as turning the cab off
-
I think it would be cool if we could actually blend the cabinet sound with the sound of the cabinet bypassed just to fatten the sound up a bit. Those clean funky sounds with the cabinet bypassed work well in the studio but don't work so well live. It still needs a little bit of that cab sound to work live with a full band.

I'm in the same boat!

Well that sucks. I still have Windows 7

I went through the same thing a couple of years ago. My solution was to get a pair of Neumann KH-120 studio monitors for my home studio. I tweaked the KPA at home through my monitors at a moderate volume and then tried it out on the gig. The sounds that I had tweaked at home were 98% perfect. The last 2% of the tweaking was done on the gigs. These were minor things like small volume and EQ changes. It took about 2 or 3 gigs, but my patches are perfect now and the soundman barely has to touch the volume levels on the guitar. I hope this helps.

Hi,
Before I buy a remote, I hope you can help.
Scenario:
I press button one and am on slot one, a clean sound...I then press button one AGAIN to add in a delay etc.
I press button two, to change rig.
When I press button one again...to go back to clean...do I go back to the normal state (just clean), or does it go back to its 'morphed state' with the added delay?
Cheers,
Greg
Ruefus is correct. You will go back to the un-morphed setting. If I were you, I would have button 1 assigned to your clean sound, button 2 will be the same clean sound with delay, and button 3 will be your other rig. The beautiful thing about performance mode is that you can easily do this and still have 2 more rig slots open without changing banks. I used to have a Liquid Foot midi controller and sold it in order to buy the remote. It was the best gear puchase I've made (other than the KPA itself) in the last few years. Go for it- you won't regret it!

All of Michael Britt's packs are absolutely awesome. I will buy anything he does!
Me too. In fact, all I have on my KPA are Michael's profiles. There are so many gems in every one of his profile packs!
-
This really looks amazing! I don't really have a need for this right now since I have the Kemper Rack and Remote, but will be all over this if I start doing more fly dates in the future. Congrats Kemper!

I've gotten pretty close. Here are my settings so far:

Feedback: 20%
Reverse mix: 0%
Low Cut: 102.7Hz
High Cut: 7003.0Hz

Everything on the next 2 pages is set at 0

Hello my fellow KPAers!
My band is going to be covering the song "Juice" by Lizzo and I'm having a bit of trouble nailing the delay setting on the guitar. Is there an effects genius on this board who can post the settings? Here's a link to the video:

I am using some old & new MBRITT profiles in my Heart Tribute band. Both guitars are 100% Britt profiles. For dirty tones I'm using 72 Marshall 2 4 & 2 6 and for clean I'm using Tweedy Tweed 1 3. Completely original profiles. Nothing tweaked.

I've found that pairing the OD pedals with an EQ (and tweaking the mix parameter) can yield some great results. Yeah, it takes a little more work and creativity on our end but the payoff is worth it. I agree that the OD pedals need an upgrade and have faith that Kemper will eventually get around to addressing the issue.

Totally agree. Michael's profiles are my favorite commercial profiles on the market, IMO!
