Marshall fans will love this. Excellent past the point of break-up but not in kerrang zone tone. Cleans up amazing too. This rig and a LP were made for each other.

Still haven't fully wrapped my head around how exactly 'pick' works on a signal processing level. The speed at which it can follow your playing and then either smooth over or sharpen the attack, irregardless of the frequency or level of the input, is crazy!
Could you get the same results with an outboard piece of gear so that your 'pick' setting could be global?
Maurizio, have you ever tried the shorter Gilmour whammy bar?

I've had one for a few years and have grown to really like it.
The constant I'm arriving at through trial and error (and based on the fact I don't gig, don't have a set list of songs I play, and play at pretty low volume levels) is less is more. I'm down to fewer than 30 rigs stored in the unit. Putting the 6 extreme metal ones aside, the rest sound good with all of my guitars (I have a PEQ in front to smooth out any guitar specific bumps) and respond really well to on-board volume and tone adjustments. Lastly, they all shine with some dirt added.
I'm also trying to eliminate tonal redundancy. Once you go past a half dozen vintage US or UK profiles you are going to start repeating things. Especially when you start adding modern era clones to the mix.
I made myself a rule to live by going forward - kind of stupid but I'm going to try and stick to it -it's KPA pruning time if I have to scroll within Rig Manager.
Less is more.
I was just railing against this idea that he is just pushing out cheap Marshall clones and ripping off designs.
Somewhere Greg Germino is wiping his brow while exclaiming *phew*.
Bump for this. I'm only using the mains so 0-10 works fine and is what my brain is use to.
Have a pack of a couple dozen profiles of this amp that I love.... BUT, it has this inherent 'ice picky' artifact now and then. Talked about this before and have been trying to fix it with EQs. Have mades things much better..... BUT, it's still there now and then. Stumbled across the easiest of fixes - even though I'm not 100% sure why it worked - that's allowed me to back off on the EQ as well as pure cab. Drum roll.....
In the Amp Stack I increased compression from 0.8 to 1.2 and decreased pick from <0.0> to -0.2.
That's it. I may have just stumbled across a missing link to help my monitoring setup better cope with hi-gain rigs.
Couldn't agree more with the last 2 posts. I'm having a total blast playing around with the knobs on the new LP with pretty much any rig I land on. Amazing actually, and what makes the Kemper the top of the mountain IMO.
Got some Kerrang happening now! Nice. Thanks.
Thank you for the clarification.
i had big plans for building complicated custom rigs before i got the K but every time i switch it on it just sucks me in and i'm playing instead of fiddling around with controls and routing ....
This is exactly where I'm at now after a couple of months of messing around with my 'big plan' This past week all I've been doing is landing on a random preset and just PLAYING. I must have logged at least a few hours of riffing yesterday and I think I did about 95% of it on one rig - Bitt's Bogner Duende.
No! Your TV provides no better picture, if you throw its remote control away.
Ha! The naive user in me would reply "but, the Kemper remote is wired and maintains two-way communication, which I assume works the CPU (even in the slightest bit?)." The KPA even knows if a preset is selected via the unit or the remote. That's what prompted the question.
The great thing with the Kemper is you can just save different EQ settings for different guitars!
I'm doing this all the time now.
Got em. Bravo! I especially love 5E3 B1 2. It shines both clean and with your combo of boost and dist in all LP positions. Can't wait to try it with a strat! Thanks.
Does removing the remote from the circuit improve any aspect of the KPA's processing??? I really have very little use for the remote since I moved the head closer.
For the record, a little bit of the new 'space' reverb, along with the slap-back sounds absolutely killer.

Congrats! What does this do? Noise reduction?
A good starting point would be to set the low cut to about 100 and the high cut to around 8k and move a little each way from there to fine tune.
I use two PEQs. The studio EQ in slot X and then an outboard unit in front of the amp. The one in front is used to tame any resonant spikes from any particular guitar (my LP has a pretty loud woof right around 200 Hz) and then X is used to tame any issues with a rig's profile. I stole the method I use to tune them from this place.
Max the gain with the highest Q possible and then very slowly sweep to pinpoint any low or high peak issues. This can take a bit of back and forth to really dial it in. Then scoop as needed.
Anywhere from 50-100 ms will get you in the slap back zone. It's easy to do using the single tap delay. Set the mix per taste.
50ms is gonna get you the classic C&W tight slap. Moving towards 100ms is going to put you in the 'Truth' era Jeff Beck zone.
Amen! Especially the first sentence of point #1. All of the 'who's better' debate made me think about the scene from Casino with DeNiro and the blueberry muffins. Haven't a clue why. Just did.
