I just re-read your post and that you need to adjust the difference between your rhythm and lead sounds on the fly, which is something I don't do.
-
Kim_Olesen - do you use the Morph function? That's the way I usually play lead when I just need a louder version of my rhythm sound.
-
Do you use the Morph function? You can use that to adjust things, like give it a mid/treble/ presence boost to cut the mix without consuming an effects slot.
-
If you can position the Kabinet on stage in front of you, pointing straight at your guitar you can get a bit of the extra "juice" that happens when the speaker interacts with the guitar, without flooding the stage too much.

Welcome!
How much sonic variety do you go for generally? If you're at the Angus Young end of the spectrum I'd recommend starting with just 1 Performance with 5 Slots and Rigs that have the different amp/gain settings that you want.
If you need a bit more flexibility, add a Morph to adjust several things at once (eg: increase reverb, boost mids, etc).
If you need a lot of flexibility then multiple Performances with a couple of Slots per song (verse, chorus, bridge) might be the way, but it will be a bit more like tap dancing at times.

It sounds like the tone control is dialed back as well.
-
I also ran into a issue early on, where the recording software (DAW) inputs and outputs were configured so I was hearing both the input sound AND the output of my record-enabled tracks, which makes it washed-out and phasey sounding. My solution was to mute the input signal.
If the guitar sounds good recorded when you play it back, but not while recording this could be it.
-
Even with the Space parameter off, I find the Kemper sounds a bit more punchy and clear, but I suspect that's due to the quality of my interface headphone amp (>10 years old and wasn't super high end).
-
I've never heard a THR sound "godly" and I think that's a misrepresentation. That term suggests it's a good as the amp is trying to mimic.
-
I don't get why you think the Yamaha is easier, or why you'd accept that level of compromise in your sound. Does the Yamaha PC app have the same level of control?
-
is it recommended (by kemper?) to use a transformer DI box as an isolation-device from phantom power if phantom cant be turned off?
i was led to believe that it is not recommended to apply phantom power to the rack unit as it can lead to unwanted side-effects.
If the phantom can't be disabled you should use the line level inputs on whatever the Kemper is plugged into, not the mic inputs. There should be no device that forces every input to use phantom power, otherwise it's only useful for things like condenser mics.

Given where I live the shipping takes a long time, so I read the manual a couple of times before it arrived. One "benefit" of living at the end of the earth I guess. 😀

You see this a lot in the workplace with IT as well. The stars just dig in and learn stuff, while many sit there in the slow lane complaining "I haven't had training".
-
There are no shortcuts to greatness, but mediocrity is easy to wing. 😀
Well done mate!

Actually - scratch that, I didn't think it through properly (the transpose effect). I guess it depends whether the harmonizer is applied before or after the transpose.
-
It must be based on the actual notes being played, rather than the tuning of the open notes. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. In all my years in IT I've probably had .01% of machines ever needing a replacement CMOS battery. It's just rare and impossible to predict if one is going to ultimately fail. It would be a much greater risk if they put a dedicated access hatch, as owners might let their curiosity get the better of them ("I wonder if replacing this will give me more amp in the room feel") and pull the battery for no reason. You should be fine. 🙂

To me that's just people that think they are more important than they are, like they don't want to grace anything with their signature like it matters anyway. Nobody really cares anymore anyway. The bare stages everyone does now look sterile and fake to me. IMO it was so much cooler when I went to see a band and they had their amps on stage, wires, tuner, echoplex,cabs etc. miked them through a P.A and went for it. Gave you a real backdrop to look at. The band was the entertainment, gear was the props not 15 monkeys dancing around the boring singer.
I think it's more of a business decision. If you're an incredible player, you want to ultimately have endorsements. So you put tape over the logo and if you're good/popular enough the company will pay you to take the tape off. 🙂

Guitar magazines are just glossy brochures for the companies that pay for product placement and "reviews", so I wouldn't suggest fully believing anything you read in them.
