The latest Marshall pack should be better. The three free profiles I've tried are very good. The Purple 68 did not satisfy much.

Thank you!!!

Welcome, and enjoy! Life is not easy, but we have to make the most of it. And music makes it easier. This is a friendly forum, so you will not feel alone here.

A lot of profiles clean up nicely when you roll off the volume of the pups, so you may not need a lot of profiles per amp. Try the free packs in the Kemper site first. There's always time to buy profiles later if you find some vendors you like. And check the rig exchange, cause you may find good profiles there too. Also bear in mind the cab used by the profiler is a very important part of the equation, as well as what styles they tend towards. Metal-oriented profiles you will most probably hate, but as it has been said, many amps have other sweet spots and lots of profilers are into rock, pop and blues, even jazz, rather than metal.

Welcome!!

Welcome!!

Thanks a lot! I will try them for sure.

Welcome to Kemperland, the guitar nerds' Disneyland!

Welcome! Don't forget to play! There's a time when we can't help trying out a zillion profiles!!😄

It's like a real LP 59 and a reissue. The difference in price is worth it? And worth it for whom? For Bonamassa probably, not sure it might be for me and those in my lousy league. Not that I might afford a real 59 in the first place! And not all 59s were created equal or are now in the same condition. Probably reissues are more equal, so to speak. More predictable though some may be a tad better than others. The point is what sounds good to you is good. So, this new TJ Dumble/Marshall/Morgan clone pack sounds pretty good...That It?

Welcome!! Enjoy! Nice weekend to you too.

Welcome. Yes. A powered Kabinet has been talked about. But when? With the delays caused by the Covid situation it is unlikely that it will be anytime soon. But who knows?

Your videos are getting better and better, Bert. A very useful intro to the pack. Looking forward to your next one already (both the pack and the vídeo). I've got way too many profiles, but there's always room for yours.

Yes. Sure. I have had little time to try them, and only with a Strat, but I found them inspiring and useful for both rhythm and bluesy leads. A very good pack, as expected. I am sure I will enjoy It a lot once I go through it more thoroughly.

Welcome. Glad you are happy!

Bert, I could only load 30 rigs including the Direct ones. I could not load the TKL Direct 2. It says it is damaged

Happy birthday to you and Nicky. Let's hope it is a better year for all of us.

Headphones won't move the air certainly and will tire you if you play too loud for too long. Monitors move more air but loud cabs will beat them at that. If you enjoy listening to music thru headphones you will enjoy the "studio" or "recorded" sound of the Kemper thru them. I certainly do. Most of us here do. But a great Hifi system in a good room will be the Corvette alternative to the Volkswagen phones! So likewise, the Kemper thru monitors will provide a more physical experience than thru phones. And using a cab is a step further when you want a loud amp in the room feel, but at low volume the powered monitors will sound better than cabs because they are made to sound great at lower volumes without been driven by hot tubes. The great thing about the Kemper is its versatility. It can be satisfying in multiple ways.

OK. But perhaps listening to a hifi system or watching TV at a certain volume may be too subjective. I think playing the Kemper loud enough to sound great probably means louder than both cases mentioned above to most of us. But the Kemper still sounds good at lower volume. Similar to Hifi and the loudness compensation. Monitors are similar to Hifi loudspeakers but flatter and less "compensating". You've got headhones already, so start with them and see how it works for you.

A 100 dbs? Monitors are a good option. I use headhones a lot, but you get tired after a while if you play too loud. With monitors and cabs no problem, unless your neighbours ... On the other hand, monitors at low volume may be not ideal because you may hear your strings and pick too much, something that you avoid with headhones. So you should try both ways and see what works for you.
