Thanks guys

Re-recorded the first solo in this thread today with a proper band recording behind it:

Profile is the merged2 5150 profile with a KD boost. Delays and EQ in the DAW.

And just for good measure check that nothing is locked unintentionally.

Maybe you should tell that to Burkhard? Just sayin'...

Haha - touché

Noticed this while deleting a bunch of cab presets on the profiler from RM:

I was deleting around 77 cab presets - that number is about right. Not the biggest bug in the world though.

Digging a bit more into this (sorry if I'm rehashing - just let me know) I tried playing around with clean sense. Unless I'm going crazy I used to be able to use clean sense to balance no (low) gain sounds with high gain sounds:

Nevermind this - still had the overdrive stomp engaged, so clean sense doesn't have an impact (because it's not clean).

Ahh, I see that you use the Full OC in the video.

I thought it was about the KD.

This is actually the volume stall some others have reported as well.

The volume compensation of the amp also compensates the distortion pedal, when the distortion volume is set to lower levels.

It has always been like that, I can see that this is disturbing.

I can think of ways to avoid the amps volume compensation, when driven by a pedal, while it can stay when not driven by a pedal.

Maybe we can change that for the next update, without causing volume differences on already existing rigs.

Other people have mirrored by optimisme, but this would be great yes. The less confusing situations one experiences the better. Thanks for your time and effort.

Quote from Atlantic

Of course it is. Don't think I'm trying to invalidate your question. On the contrary.

Some of us have been finding limitations with volume while testing the new stomps. l

Totally understand. No hard feelings. This being the internet I just wanted to make sure the post wasn't burried by false assumptions.

musicmad is seems to me that you are reamping, are you???

If that is the case I made the same mistake some days ago. Clean Sens does nothing on the reamping circuit. You have to use output volume of your DI from the DAW and also Reamp Sens.

From the 7.5 manual:

No I'm not. Using the looper pre-input. But thanks for the suggestion. It's the same result if I play guitar live btw. So my question is still valid.

I think I know what it is, and it always has been there.

The Profiler has something like a soft fuse, when too much overall gain and amplification is used.

In this case the overall amplification is reduced.

Too much of this can cause electrical feedback just by bleeding high energy radiation back into.

The fuse treshold is 80 dB of pure amplification, or in other words, a 10000 fold amplification.

Since your AMP is set to a fairly low gain, I assume that there is other effect modules where the volume parameter dictates an amplification.

I only have the delay module on, and it doesn't change anything if I turn that off. Tried turning off amp, eq, and cab as well. The phenomenon only appears when the amp section is on. But I don't boost (amp volume for instance) anything there. What does that tell you?

Quote from ckemper

This is truly the story the presets want to tell you, and you have seen the trick.

The improvement over the Horizon is, that the "Attack" functionality is continuously variable by the Definition control.

After you have found a sweet spot, try some "Slim Down" to intensify the tightening and focussing.

Actually the Volume control is not that important.

You can do the same effect by rising the amp gain.

Got it. Thanks for the reply

Did you see my video above as well?

Got to play around with the volume behavior of the drives as well. I know this has probably been discussed to death, but I found this behaving not as I expected as well. Check out this video:

The input led is not clipping. There is a substantial volume boost around 0, but the sound is almost identical in timbre and volume a -5 and 5. This goes for the green scream as well, so it's probably not new. Clean sense is a 0 db.

ckemper happy to share a backup if this is relevant? Is this the expected behavior?

I'm playing a pre-input-loop in the video, found the same thing while playing live.

Finally got around to play around with the presets. Trying out the different Precision drive presets and the workflow doesn't really work that good I think. Mainly because the volume parameter is so important, and there is no way to lock the volume while trying different presets. So you end up selecting one preset, turn the volume to 2.5db, then try the next one, turn the volume up again etc. Not very intuitive.

Once I realized that the only difference between the presets is the definition control, the presets become obsolete. You just set the volume to 2.5 and mess with the definition. So it seems the attack knob in the precision drive is identical to the definition in the KD. Would be interesting to see if they actually behave in the same way.

Quote from Wheresthedug

It means that the signal is reduced by 4db for every 1db over the threshold. Its a fairly aggressive gate.

Over? I would assume under?

Quote from vjclaus

no i tried it, but it sounds not to my taste

LOL

In my mind your perception of tone greatly depends on the playing style. If you by any means can find a free rig, where you can't make it sound like the demo, then we are happy to try with our playing style and compare the results.

I wonder that even if you updated since then, the setting would stick around until you fix it.

Short answer is yes. I'm afraid at this point performance handling and RM could use a complete rewrite. Something must be fundamentally wrong with the approach in the implementation. It can't be that hard

Hi all,

I've notice a little bug in the beta, well reproducible on my kemper at startup :

-switch ON the profiler in browser mode, so that it recalls the last loaded profile which must have the kemper drive active. (in my case it's with the 808 mid preset)

-press-long the slot button where the KD is, to display the edition page (slot B in my case)

-turn the "type" knob to display the page with the "catergory", "type", and "preset" columns

-normally the last column ("preset") isn't well initialized (it's on a WVOW preset instead of the 808mid, so that if you attempt any preset change, the slot turns into a VWOW effect)

It seems that it's the case only at the startup until you access the menu and retreive the right settings once, then everything seems to work the correct way.

It's a known issue - but not a priority to fix because it only happens once a day. I beg to differ though and think it's highly annoying to deal with every time you power up the profiler. The workaround is to click arrow down followed by arrow up. Then you seem to be in the right spot.
