Hi,
Can anybody help me setting up or modifying profiles so that I can use my guitar with a stereo jack to switch between magnetic pickups and piezo? The guitar has a mini-toggle to achieve this and I have a splitter box with patch cables to hook up to the Kemper. I presume the mags will go to the main input and the piezo to a Return but really not confident on how to achieve any of this.
Thanks!
Can anybody help? It doesn't matter if the Kemper is connected or not - it just hangs. I managed to get around this by reinstalling it but it's really annoying.
Does anybody know of UK stock?
Can anybody help me track one down?
Hi,
I've done the initialise global settings but still had a lot of junk on the unit, so I went into the Rig Manager and deleted, I think, 999 rigs.
The unit now has Kemper Factory Content 7 in Rig Manager but I don't know if it's on the device.
Can somebody please talk me through getting this to look like it would on day one, so I can start fresh?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I've had a few incidents in the last couple of weeks where my Kemper, for no discernible reason, has simply given me no volume. I was hooked up by XLR from one of the main outputs with a perfectly good cable. Disappointingly, last time it happened, it was on stage. I just rebooted and it ran again.
Has anybody experienced this?
Thanks!
Sorry for the old bump but this is precisely what I'd like to see. I'm right in saying it hasn't yet been implemented, yes?
I have an 8ohm Matrix FR12P passive speaker which is 250w RMS continuous and 500w peak. How loud can I risk pushing the Kemper PowerHead? It will spit out 600w at 8ohms so, my understand is that, I presume I need to avoid continuously pushing out more than around 40% volume? Is this correct?
Next thing that puzzles me is Power Amp Boost. If the PowerHead on full is 300w/600w dependent on impedance, how does the Power Amp Boost work? Does it push it harder somehow? I understand that it's transparent.
I asked about this in the Private Forum but there seems to be more action out here in public, so trying again. I have read the manual and still cannot wrap my head around Power Amp Boost or roughly where on the scale of volume I can take the PowerHead to without damaging my speaker.
I'm learning but slowly. So much to take in!
Yeah, @Monkey_Man, it was very much an experiment. I got a bunch of cabs in but with the myriad mic/positioning options, it felt very overwhelming and ear fatigue kicked in quickly. I think I'll stick to studio profiles too. If/when Rig Manager can switch cabs, then I might be more inclined.
@Monkey_Man - I'm taking it as a sign that it was time to wipe clean, get back into the manual and learn, so it's all for the greater good! Thanks for the update - lesson learned!
Well, I tried this and lost all of my rigs and performances...hmm.
It sounds a little fake and plastic....difficult to explain in words....but it is because I am not used to it..
I found this with the Yamaha. The Matrix FR12p is completely different. Much better.
Hello all,
Relative newbie here, so go easy, please.
I have the PowerHead. 600w into 8ohms, correct? I've an 8ohm Matrix FR12P passive speaker which is 250w RMS ontinuous and 500w peak. I, frankly, don't understand this.
How loud can I risk pushing the Kemper? I presume that I control this using the Output button and then the main Master Volume knob will interact with the maximum setting I select there (under monitor, I presume)?
Next thing that puzzles me is Power Amp Boost. What is the point in this?
At advice welcome.
Thanks.
Do you think the 212 would be better?
I think this will be better when I learn to use it properly. The 212 will likely sound bigger. Different.
I used a FR212 for quite a while and I found it to be excellent.
Perhaps it's also a case of letting the speaker break in a bit?
I also believe this to be correct!
Is that the Matrix FR212 you're talking about?
No, the Matrix FR112P (passive).
Post-rehearsal update:
Undoubtedly, and unsurprisingly, does not kick through in a band mix like a real cab. The rest of the band had no issues but I didn't feel like I had as good a sound as when I used my little Zilla. I hooked up to the PA which helped me get a better mix, and I've no doubt it's going to sound as good to an audience, but the cab appearance will likely mislead a few.
EQ tweaks will likely get me there. I just need to find time to do it.
@Monkey_Man I was getting metallic vibrations from the Kemper. I just grabbed a bit of acoustic foam off my wall and used that - convenience was the order of the day! But @Dlaut was also correct because, serendipitously, it did just that and it's now much easier to see!
The official videos aren't great, for me. They're not even available in any logical sequential order that I could fathom.
I'd gladly pay for a succinct, easy to follow and educational course. There are many concepts I have/am still struggling with.
Do it!
