If you want to also use the Monitor output (or Speaker out) if you want to feed a separate cab it's important to unlink the volumes in the Kemper. The point being that you only want to set the Main output level once and not change it, but still be able to control the Monitor and Speaker outputs with the volume knob on the Kemper, like a traditional amp.

Display MoreIT'S ALIVEEE!!
Wow, just wow. I am just pluged in directly, only left channel (because I have an Audient ID14) with my Telecaster bridge pickup into Fender 62 profiles... Already hearing awesome results and potential. How is anyone not getting good sounds out of them?
This is fabulous. Thanks all
PD Any suggestion on how to connect Audient ID14 in stereo with the Kemper is really appreciated.
Welcome!
To get stereo I recommend connecting the Kemper main outputs to the Audient inputs with normal guitar cables, then use the Audient ID Mixer software to pan the input channels L/R. You can link them in that software so it treats them like a stereo pair. Just do a few passes through the Audient manual and you'll get it sorted.

Welcome!

Howdy!

I knew I should have bought 10 of them. 🤔
-
Sorry - just checked and they're out of stock in the US and NZ Kemper stores currently. 🙁
-
I got mine direct from the Kemper store. I'm not sure if that's an option in your region.

That's what I do for messing around with the looper. I have a performance with 2 rhythm rigs panned L and R respectively, a transposed "bass" rig, and a stereo lead rig.

There's a feature request for you! Adjustable FM compensation in the output menu. 🙂

That's really amazing playing and feel! The LP sounds great too! Thanks for sharing. 😎
-
Well wow! That sounds amazing and you're a great player! Remind me a bit of Larry Carlton, but with your own thing going on in the lead bit.

I think the ultimate answer is that if you use looping as part of your live show you should probably get a dedicated looper. The looper in the Kemper is an awesome tool for practice and for tweaking patches, but there's a finite limit to what a single unit can do.

That's really beautiful and evokes the feeling of a kite really well. Bravo!

It comes down to compromise in my books. The choice is between an unlimited palette of amp sounds or a smaller palette of better sounds.
For me the former is the better approach based on the wide variety of music I play and the ease of use I'm after. Plus, my music has moved on from the stand and deliver lead stuff to more rhythm. Plus the Kemper sounds amazing to me and everyone that comments on it, so I'm not searching.
I totally get your approach and it must sound incredible.

I went through all of the possible options as well and determined that buying direct was the best option in the final analysis. Geographical isolation is a double edge sword. 🙂

I've never seen them at a discount on the Kemper site. I'm also in NZ and definitely don't regret the money I spent on mine. 😎
Keep in mind that shipping is free, but allow a few weeks.

I'd use a semi hollow on neck or mid pos pick up , reduce the tone and use a fender clean profile.
Most of the tone comes from the semi hollow and good usage of the guitar volume & tone pots to me. A bit of spring verb might also help.
This is almost exactly what I was going to suggest. 😎
I thought I heard a tiny bit of slapback delay in there as well, but could be the venue.

Nice! Welcome to the club!!

I've tried on dimarzio strings to have them ruined on the same day, not a fan of the tone either but that's definitely subjective. I think that kind of tone could do really well in mixing it was a lot less brighter than the EBs. At least there was less of a difference between the strings NEW and the strings ruined after some playing.
what's your experience with other strings? I tried elixirs, the sound is okay. Definitely better than most of the strings you can buy, but I don't remember them lasting me enough to warrant paying 3x the amount of what slinkies are worth.
Yeah, I don't particularly care about the twang necessarily, because I still consider them playable and you can do some EQ tricks to bring out more attack in the strings and that's okay. To me it's about when the strings start ringing in an annoying way, like they sound out of tune even though they are tuned.
I've been playing for 40 years, so I've played all of the major brands. I also do set up work for friends, so I've changed a whole lot of strings. Dean Markley, EB, Maxima Gold, Pyramid, GHS, Cleartone, D'Addario (XL, NYXL, coated, etc), DR, D'Angelico, GHS...
Elixirs always last at least twice as long for me and stay pretty consistent throughout. I can't stand the coated offerings from D'Addario or others.
DR Veritas last much longer than other uncoated ones and have the best sound for me.
-
I tend to get about 30 hours of play out of Elixirs before I notice the sparkle is gone. For uncoated I use DR Veritas and they go about 10-15.
I wipe them down after playing and have a cotton tea towel in each case that I leave on the strings.
