Rig Manager is fine for selecting profiles, but it's not infinitely different than just scrolling on the unit itself. I find it very useful for importing, exporting, and deleting profiles on the Kemper, but for the sole purpose of simply selecting a rig instead of scrolling, I wouldn't call it a world of improvement.

While it's not on par with an editor, my Kemper isn't within arms reach so it saves me from having to continually lean out of my chair and twirl the browse knob every time I want to change a preset. Likewise, Rig Manager makes it convenient to audition profiles stored on my PC where I'd otherwise have to transfer them to the KPA.

You're right in that my example could be accomplished with the rig manager, which was shortsighted of me. While the Rig Manager is great for managing the profiles on and off your Kemper, it doesn't make much of a difference if you're scrolling through for sounds already on your Kemper.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would you need to scroll through the profiles on the Kemper using the front panel when you can use Rig Manager? I do adjust parameters using the front panel (because I have to) but that's independent of my using Rig Manager to scroll through and select stored profiles.

In reality I'd rather have the different EQ stacks before an editor.

An editor would be infinitely more useful to me.

The Kemper development team is well aware of the desire for a PC editor. As such I have little doubt they're working on it, though there's no known ETA.

I just checked my KPA (sample) and I'm not hearing this, but that's seriously disconcerting. Hopefully the developers can figure out what's going on soon.

Sad day for me. This was my first unpleasant experience with the Kemper

Been traveling lately and took a day off. Thought to myself, lets check out the new Kemper 5.0 firmware.

I have been on 3.3 for some time, and really didn't have anything to complain about. Still, I thought it would be good to bring things up to speed now that I would soon be 2 full major revisions behind .... and the new delays really did sound cool from the clips posted here.

Being careful, I backed up my 3.3 setup. I have spent endless hours tweaking and expanding my rig since 2014, so I really wanted to be careful.

Ok, so I do the backup, everything looks good. I put the backup on my PC for safe keeping and go on with my updates.

The 5.0 upgrade worked flawlessly. It was easy to follow the instructions given in this thread to get the new FX presets loaded, and away I went playing around with delay bliss

When I got around to going through my performances that I have been using, I thought I noticed that the distortion seemed a bit on the heavy side. It was almost as if there was added gain to every rig. I pondered this a while, then thought, well, this is easy enough to verify. I will just restore my 3.3 rig and give it another listen.

Before I do, I create another backup of my 5.0 setup so it will be easier to get back to it after I take a listen to the 3.3 restore.

Put the backup onto the USB drive, and ...... the backup is "corrupt beyond repair". Hmmm. This isn't a good sign. The Kemper goes into some base setup asking for the date of shipment and my name again like it is fresh out of the box.

I look at the file and notice that it is 0Kb! Not good.

I think ... well, I guess I'll go back to the 5.0 beta backup. I check the file.... it is 0Kb also!

So now here is where I sit:

• I still have all my purchased rigs, but they are all in their original setup. Tons of work to get everything back where it was.
• I have a backup from 2014 when I upgraded to 3 or 2 I think, but that wouldn't be much better than just doing all the work again.

I am NOT happy about this. I also found that there was another 0K backup file from december 2014, so this has been going on for some time I suspect.

It may be a bad USB stick or something along that line, but whatever it is, I had NO indication that the backup wasn't successful.

I am now sitting with a REALLY base unit (no rigs) that I have to reload which will take me days of effort.

Let my pain be your warning. Check your backup files to be sure they actually contain something. The Kemper will not tell you that something went wrong and you will be left with a false sense of security.... and no backup.

Man, that royally sucks. My condolences.

@Armin full pack of the amp is available here: http://www.soundside.de/shop/Profiles.htm

Awesome, thank you!

Additionally, I'll follow your suggestion regarding the djemass profiles.

I appreciate the helpful input. Thank you. I did find the two JP-2C profiles on Rig Exchange. I haven't tried them yet(not able at the moment), though I was hoping there might be a full pack out there somewhere for sale.

Anyone know where I can find some JP-2C profiles?

Sounds a lot like "It's A Miracle" by Roger Waters.

Do the new presets import automatically if you update the KPA using RM?

It must be a Mac issue.

USB can act really flaky at times. Seriously.

I can't replicate this issue. On my PC, Rig Manager opens with the same folder configuration that it was closed with.

I haven't visited this thread in awhile and just noticed all of the new profiles you've added to RM! Wow! Outstanding work! Thanks, George!

The sample sounds slightly scooped and low bass. Have you tried adjusting the mid & bass knobs and adding some compression?

I don't use morphing.
