As an audio engineer out of Nashville since 1986, I have never recorded a mono signal across 2 tracks for guitar unless we created some type of stereo ambient separation for a stereo effect. The human ear hears naturally in stereo so when mixing music, I mostly create stereo imaging by panning different instruments in the mix. I use stereo chamber reverb effects to create ambience on the instruments ( the send is usually panned straight up). You can hear my mixes (listen through good quality headphones as well as speakers) here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWyZy0nxPIj3gv6jdPCRiVQ

I do a bit of research about the profile itself to find out what guitar was used to profile the amp. I buy MBritt profiles and they seem to be very versatile. You will have to tweak the profile no matter what because it was not your guitar on the profile but fortunately the Kemper has great tweaking sections. Also, If I'm trying to get a certain sound from a record, I research what amp the guitarist used originally and start my profile search there.

If you are not using the effects after the stack then summed mono is the way to go. I am an audio engineer/ producer , musician and have many sessions under my belt in Nashville and LA. - mostly prior to Kemper days, and most recordings were mic'd mono. There was a time when the session players brought in racks and racks of processing gear and went stereo but now, they use amps that we mic and record multiple parts and they use pedals. When I am recording with the Kemper, I record summed mono if i want a 60's- 70's vintage vibe because the parts will be panned 70% left or right anyway in the mix then. I add space/ambience in my DAW with plugins. I only use stereo if I am creating an effected sound within the Kemper etc.

Welcome!

FYI- my profile says that I'm a beginner because I don't post much. I've owned 2 Kempers for over 5 years and use extensively in the studio and live. not quite a beginner.

go here for my tips on this.

Brent Mason Chickin Pickin

I have worked in the studio with Brent many times over the last 35 years and mixed many records with his guitars tracks. He usually uses a 65 Bassman head or Fender Deluxe reverb amp (vintage -not sure what year) for the country chicken pickin with his primer gray Tele. I found an MBritt 65 Bassman profile that I have tweaked to come close to his sound. Keep in mind he has a customized guitar and with a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele STK-T3B at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Hot Stack Strat STK-S2 in the middle with the 3 knob configuration. In the lead pickup he turns the middle pickup up a bit to add round bottom and that chimey sparkle. I have included my setting for the MBritt profile for your experimentation. Here I am playing my tele through the profile

Its been my experience that wireless bluetooth tx/rx have too much latency. Has anyone found a system that actually has no latency?
