Morphing is the best feature ever , I use a mission expression pedal to blend in the leads , using a pedal doesn't require me to look down and push a button ... Just rest your foot on the pedal prior to the solo and voila !

Selling here my Laney Iron Heart IRT-X Powered Guitar Expansion Cab
£200
This has been with me for a couple of years and has some slight scuffing (can send pictures of) but only very minor. Other than that, its in great condition. I am selling this as I now use In Ear Monitors so no need for stage amplification.
The IRT-X Expansion Cab from the guys at Laney is a truly versatile tool for any guitar player. It is an active 200w powered speaker that can act as a expansion speaker for any guitar amp combo with speaker outs available, as a cabinet for your digital amplifier such as a Kemper or POD system, or as an on stage monitor. You can also use it as a 200w power amp to connect your POD or Kemper to your speaker cabinet
With a stereo effects loop, master volume, bass, and treble controls this is an extremely controllable system. DI out to the board with or without cabinet simulation and the option to run more than one of these at a time gives you so many options depending on what you need.
Here's what Laney say about the IRT-X
ERL
The key is - Electro- Mechanical Reactive Linking (ERL).
Unlike an extension cabinet - which sits after your output section, the IRT-X sits BETWEEN your amps output section and your amps speaker and cleverly mimics the response characteristics of your on-board speaker.
Unlike most guitar speakers, which are commonly, rolled off above 4Khz the IRT-X houses a high quality flat response 8" Driver and a 1"Compression Driver. As soon as you connect the IRT-X, YOUR guitar tone has the capability for far more highs and lows, which means more tone!
Used in its most straightforward application the IRT-X gives you more of YOUR tone! And since it's YOUR tone what better than to use it as your own personal guitar monitor on stage - every gigging musician has run into problems hearing themselves on stage.
Love that... really really nice!!
Display MoreWindows 7 is, by definition, an outdated operating system, but still works fine for what I need it for.
Thanks for the KB articles... that's all I was looking for.
But to anyone else out there looking to try this, better take a second look at KB3004394 before installing it....looks like it was a fiasco when it came out and might make things worse for some systems.
Reminds me of someone who said that MS updates always seem to cause a bunch of things to break.......... oh yeah, that was me!!

And, it looks like KB3024777 (which was released to uninstall KB3004394) has issues too....

Regardless, neither of these worked to solve the issue.
RM still won't see my Kemper, so I've had to downgrade it back to 2.1.26
How do I down grade to this previous version of RM?
In the download section all I see is the latest version. Is there a link to archive builds?
Thanks
Have you tried turning off or reducing the 'Pure Cab' effect.
This made a major difference to my tone. For a long time I was like "This does not sound as great as I thought".... then I saw this thread of someone else highlighting the issue, tried it and was like wow!!!
I think it is on by default.
This is thread here:
Is there any way/links available I can roll back to the previous version of RM?
The download page only shows the latest
Cheers guys.
Its such a pain but will try these suggestions.
Just wish I never updated it when it prompted me to
Hi there
I have updated to the latest rig manager (prompted when running rig manager to update) and I can no longer see my Kemper in rig manager.
I have rebooted both devices and nothing. Was working perfectly fine before, so not an issue with my USB cable.
I am using Kemper OS 5.1.1.12825
Does the latest rig manager require latest Kemper os to work/sync?
I really dont want to update to latest Kemper OS as I am happy with the one I am using.
Many thanks
Have you seen these profiles. Made specifically for the Pink Floyd tones.
This guy makes them for his tribute band and sells them here, I can highly recommend them.

Because listening through a speaker at distance is different to catching the sound right next to your ear. It is the equivalent of standing a few meters off axis from a 4x12, or having your ear right next to the speaker. Of course it will be bright and nasty sounding that close. If you doubt the effect, try (at a reasonable level to listen to your favourite distorted guitar sound with your ear next to the speaker.
And why going through the headphone for stereo, using the space effect and pure cabinet lessons that effect.
Again, thank you robles1999 and to everyone else on this forum!!
This method using the Kemper headphone out is incredible... two gigs in with this way and its the best I have ever heard my tone.
Display MoreHere's what has worked beautifully for me. I don't use outboard gear, only the Kemper. I have found that adding outboard gear degrades the signal do to all the conversions that has to happen between the analog and digital equipment. Also, after much experimentation I've noticed that setting the output presence to around 9 pm takes any digital harshness away and makes the kemper sound even more analog. I also use the pure cabinet set at around noon. To get a more separated sound I play around with the space feature.
Here's my signal chain:
Guitar into Kemper input.
Stereo in ear monitor mix coming to me (minus guitar) goes into Alternate and Return inputs on the Kemper.
Kemper main out goes to FOH.
My in ear monitors get plugged into the Kemper headphone jack.
The Kemper has the option to set the volume of the alternate input and its destination. This allows me to monitor the guitar directly from the Kemper, thus getting the best guitar sound possible. Only one conversion of the guitar signal and straight into my ears.
I tried this method over the weekend and I now could not be any happier with how the Kemper sounds through IEMS... Incredible experience hearing it all in stereo.. no harshness at all.
Yep, that sounds about right.. I have both these pedals and connect them in the same manner. I use to Dunlop for its wider range for volume. The Mission is used for wah and morph.

Hmmmm.... very interesting. Never really thought of it this way, might need to give this a go. Of course, this will indeed do away with any need to have the headphone amplifier.
Going to give this a try.
So can I unlink the alternative and return from the Kemper master volume?
You're a legend.... thank you so much!
Can see many uses with this patch, gonna try this at Friday's gig. Will let you know how it all works out.
Thanks again!
Excuse me for swaying off subject... got a little carried away... of course, back to the original question..... Cabin pressure has returned!
I think the key to getting the best experience with IEMs is to go stereo. Panning each instrument will make the world of difference to recreate that 3D sound image we are all so use to when playing with wedge monitors, backline, acoustic drums etc.
With conventional mono set up, its just not the same and can sound like playing in a box. Everything being centre will eventually cause fatigue confusing the brain. And some ambient mics putting some of the room back into the mix.
Also, having control of your own mix. There are plenty of apps both for IOS and Android that can connect remotely to the sound desk.
It just takes time to get use to them and to use them in the right way.
Ohhhhh so want this!!.... Please post this rig..
I have recently moved to IEMs... was the last one in the band to do so as was a little reluctant.
At first, I was getting the same problem.. very hard and spikey sounding.. no warmth at all.
I seemed to have found a solution now that works for me and that lovely Kemper guitar tone I know is back and I couldnt be any happier.
I use a Behringer P1 headphone amp. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/hea…calj7t-Oom48aAjILEALw_wcB
The Behringer amp has two XLRs... Sound guy sends all the band to one XLR (minus any guitar). I then send from Kemper monitor out to the other XLR and control my guitar monitor volume with an expression pedal.. I call this my 'More Me' pedal. A few adjustments in the monitor eq section, adding some Mid, Low end and reducing the treble and presence.
Sounds very pleasing to my ears.
Scott from Profiler Pr Tv does these.
He has put together a few custom rigs for myself and I must say, are very accurate and impressive.
Should check his Youtube channel out!
