I can't identify much that's missing from the KPA. Sounds like the OP just wants something new.

There are no bad options in this scenario. Whatever works for you is right.

I went to a concert in a small venue on Saturday night and the opening act had 2 guitarists both using Helix units. They sounded great and like they were part of the mix.

The headliner band had just one electric guitarist playing a Gretsch into a little tube amp. His tone was very good, but pretty much the same for each song and very over- present in the room. His amp died about 3/4 of the way through and they couldn't revive it. One of the guys from the opening act quickly got him set up with a Helix and when he played a bit to test it was going he said "that sounds just like an amp" sarcastically. Then proceeded to sound way better in the mix for the rest of the show. 😀

Just to chuck my old guy hat into the ring - if you aren't wearing hearing protection at those levels the speakers aren't your biggest risk. 😉

I've used a handful of different ethernet cables and they all work for me.

Great point! I never really thought about that.

I just tune my guitars to F flat.

More agreement!

You should be able to make excellent sounds using the factory profiles. Once you really learn how to make it sound great in any situation you can grab the extra ones that you need.

As a general observation, my bright single coil guitars and full range humbuckers sound best with most commercial profiles that I've bought. Especially MB. It's not a deficiency, just a preference.

With any warm humbuckers I usually have to brighten things up. I use an EQ or clean boost pedal before the amp section (or in front of the Kemper). Not to boost or push the amp, just to shape the tone to play well with most profiles.

If there's a specific warm HB sound I need I'll just create a dedicated profile for that tone from that guitar.

For what it's worth I can't tell the difference between Kemper and tube amp cleans through the same speaker in blind tests. I usually pick the Kemper as the one that works best in a mix.

Good luck. Sounds like you've got your sound nailed, so no reason to persist with something that doesn't work for you.

Maybe the original patch is called Clean Lead and this is a copy with a bit more definition tweaked into it?

Is this "feature" a toggle? It's the dumbest thing I've heard, if it's not.

Literally the dumbest thing you've ever heard? Can you back that strong statement up with a reason? Hopefully not the dumbest reason ever.

They aren't for sale in the shop, just as a gift with purchase. I'll send them a begging email. 😃

Welcome and congrats! 😎

I suggest you consider making two 2x12 cabs so you can get some stereo separation.

I'm guessing the headphones aren't an issue based on the ones in the OP.

High cut filter for the win!

Actually - is it illegal to just make a t shirt for yourself if you don't sell them or give them away? Asking for a friend that used to be a screen printer.

What colour combos are we thinking here and is it a full chest print, or a small breast print and a full back?

Slogan or no? "Kemper - you know you want one." or something.

I like black tee with a full size Kemper logo on the front in Kemper green.

They need to build more Kabinets first. Then you can get an eFing shirt.

Pretty sure they're not made in the same factory. 😃

On a related note, I printed many thousand t-shirts back in the 90's. I miss the creative side, but not the chemicals. 🤪
