2.1 is the Rig Manager software that runs on your computer, not the Kemper. I assume that's what the 2.1 was referring too, forgive me if I'm wrong.

Unzip the file and run the setup on your computer.

From the comments in the "Mary had a little lamb" video.

I adapted the profile to the pickups (van zandt blues) of my stratocaster.
1. fender super reverb amp (GRStudios free from RM): definition 10, power sagging 3 compressor 0, clarity 6, tube ... 0
2. EQ: bass 2, middle 5, treble 2, presence 0
3. Mbritt Cab: MB 212 412 3 (pure cabinet 0)
4. before the amp: compressor
5. after the amp: Space, Rev. "

Here's a video of Scott going through the interface, and create a Tom Petty rig. He shows how intuitive the interface is, and quickly transforms rigs into Tom Petty sounding rigs.

It shows how quickly you can transform the sound on the unit itself. I see it as an excellent example of the power of learning the machine, instead of constantly fighting it.

I'm sure he would benefit from an editor, but spent the time to learn the unit, and get things done.

Right... (sarcasm alert)...Because Scott just went, "Hey, lets create Tom's sound" (walks over to Kemper, twists a couple knobs, and says) "there, that works. I'm glad I had the camera running!"

Slide rules work just fine, who would ever need a calculator?

Why does everyone keep saying the interface is intuitive? Paging through 4 EQ pages of parameters, 6 delay pages, etc.etc. is not intuitive. Give me a single computer screen with all my delay parameters on one page, now that would be intuitive.

This thread is like the current political climate in the US. Guess what, you don't get to tell me how to protest, how to be patriotic, ... How easy it is for me to use my Kemper to change settings.

Okay, that last part is a little, well a lot of hyperbole, but (hopefully) you get my point.

Check out the first couple posts in this thread.

Have you seen this yet?

search "porcupine tree" in the rig exchange. Travis has a Badcat Hotcat 30R that will give you a good start. He made it for the song Open car, but I think you can work with it.

Hi Scott, next try with the kpa?

I would never buy a tweak for 2$, when i can get a complete amp for the price of a coffee.
If i have a question for " sound like ...." i will ask the great community here and we share tips and tricks.

If you want free delay tweaks for creating signature sounds, do not hesitate to use my dropboxlink below.

Here you can find signature delays from the great community and from me.

Best is, they are for free.

Good luck with your projekt.

From the youtube video comments:
"Profiler Pro TV
I can't sell the rigs yet, I still need to work out a deal with the profile makers, but, that's in the works.Rock on,Scott."

Hey, if I can buy a commercial rig with the effects already programmed, that's a win win for me. More time playing, less tweaking. I bought Scott's G-system presets before I purchased the Kemper for the same reason. I hate trying to tone match for 1 or 2 cover tunes, I'd gladly pay someone else to do it (if it's done right).

Glad you figured it out. You might want to edit the title of the thread to say "solved" somewhere on it.

Check out this thread:

(Solved) New Pickups input levels

the video link is in there too.

My all time favourite seems to remain one of @timowens' Friedman HBE100 profiles from the "have amps, will profile" marathon thread what a great guy he is!!). Can't give enough kudos to the man. What a way to serve the community!!!!

He did a couple of profiles based on request by me: Have amps, will profile the BE100: Lets make some profiles...
...amidst an epic profiling spree

Sorry to hijack, but a want to give a huge thanks. I missed that thread.

There goes my night now.

Monkey_man has you covered. These links are in his sig.

I just had to roll back to the release OS and restore my back up. After about an hour of playing around and practicing, things got funky sounding, it sounded almost like a combination of fret buzz and a dirty volume pot crackle (sorry I didn't record it). I rebooted and tried changing modes and other rigs, no change, still bad sounding. I tried 2 different guitars and cables just to make sure.

I restored my back up first with the beta OS and it was fine for about another hour, but then it started again. I'm pretty sure it happened after switching back and forth between browse and performance modes. I would practice in performance mode with my normal rigs for a while, then play around with the delays for a bit in browse mode with random rigs. When I went back to practicing in performance mode, I noticed things were off.

I only played around for about 10 min. after the roll back to release OS and restoring my back up. I made sure to change rig presets, switch between modes, switch delays, and all seems well. I'll run through it for a couple hours tomorrow during practice to make sure there isn't something else going on.

PS I loved the new delays while I was playing around though.

Disregard, I had the same issues after the roll back. After pulling out a pound of hair, I found a ground issue between my systems. My wife uses this desk for her home office when she works from home and moved some wires "out of her way". I'm jumping back into the deep end and loading up the beta again. Next up, is finishing my basement studio ( it's only been 17 yrs and I'm half done).

I see what you wrote on my "wall", but I still can't send a "conversation". Friday won't work for me.

Rag, do you have conversations enabled in your settings? I tried to send one but it says "user doesn't exist" even though I selected it from your profile.

Does anyone know if "conversations" are working right now, or am I missing something.

I am. I'm no expert on things KPA and I have limited guitar skills, but your free to compare whatever profiles and settings between machines if you want. I have a non-powered head though, not a powered like you. I use an EV ZLX12p for live/band practice, headphones and computer speakers at home, but I have a house so demoing at volume wouldn't be an issue.

I'm down in Prior Lake, SW of Minneapolis. If your interested, PM me and we can exchange phone#s to nail down a day down that works.

I know Guitar Center is a dealer, they just don't carry them in the stores, order only. I don't get it.

Quote from DonPetersen

this doesn't indicate a setting, since the Profiler will keep parameters where possible. If you had another effect with Speed and Depth etc. parameters in the slot before you changed it to tremolo, the setting of all the applicable parameters will be kept

I should have been a bit clearer (see, I'm lazy). I'm using HamerJo's Dynacord profile and wanted a deeper trem for a "Earth Angel/Sleepwalk" rhythm sound and it had an existing trem that I copied to the mod slot and run them at the same time. I found it more to my liking.

slot c rate 4.8 depth 5.7 cross 43.7 duck 0 vol 0 Mod slot same setting as slot c plus stereo 0

I've had good luck stacking 2 trem effects, adding one pre and a second post. I think I even left them "as is" and didn't even change any parameters (I'm lazy like that ).
