What is the point in releasing a manual to a product that hasn't shipped? I just don't get it?

Ultimately it will come down to how it plays in your hands. The Kemper has that feel in spades with the right profile and it is that which sets it apart from everything else I tried over the years.

These are fantastic profiles! I love the low gain with a smattering of Kemper Drive with my old strat copy. It's so tasty. Excellent! Ta very much for these.

Another one from Ireland here. I have my unpowered toaster for over two years and love the damn thing to bits. A fantastic piece of gear for sure.

Amazing what a simple solitary photo on Instagram can do to the fanbase... 😂

Mine does indeed have the tiger stripe and it was from Nashville. It's perfect.

I have a ES335 from 1999 and I love it. I play marshal profiles from MBritt and they sound amazing.

You should have ended his warranty from the very first threatening email.... I would have.

Get a USB key and insert it into the Kemper. If it needs formatting, let the Kemper do it for you. Then take that key and connect it to your computer where the downloaded file is and copy it over to the "shared" folder on the USB key. Then insert into Kemper and you will be given the option to load the profile onto the profiler where you can then make any changes and then save it from the front panel.

Have you tried anything from Michael Britt? His profiles are especially good for twangy sounds...

Why don't you put the TC in the effects loop and place the loop in the X slot? Then the reverb will be in stereo.

If your kid is taking your Kemper then it's obvious any alternative other than another Kemper won't do. Hell of a conundrum mate.

I think they assume you are trolling because you are resistant to the advice already given to you and you keep insisting that it was the Kemper even though you haven't ruled out anything else yet. You need to get an electrician, preferably a different one, to check your wiring. Then heed the advice the Kemper team have given you regards getting the profiler repaired. That's the only way you can deduce what happened here.

The only way the profiler could cause any damage is if it was part of a ground loop and acted as a relay. You said it yourself that you used the XLR outputs when this incident occurred. The XLR outs don't carry any voltage so there's no way they could have been the cause. The ground loop from an unearthed power source may have allowed voltage to transfer over the entire circuit between the power supply, the amp, the laptop and the profiler but that's something you should get an electrician in to check before it causes physical harm to you or anyone else using your mains. You do indeed have a problem. The profiler isn't it. The power in your house needs to be looked at ASAP.

Also remember that the code for the profiler was built from the code that CK made for the Virus. That's nearly 20 years development right there. I would hazard a guess that Kemper know the 56K Freescale DSP (also used in the Virus) more than anyone in the business and it shows.

The good thing about time is that eventually time will reveal all.

Maybe the poor implementation comes with the territory of depending on object orientated platforms to code something so sophisticated as a firmware for a modeller. CK does things differently in that he developed the actual programming environment from scratch for the 56k Motorola inside the Kemper and thus has this thing as close to the metal as you can possibly get. It really is all about implementation and it helps immensely if you can code in Assembly too.

Wow, the tone of that Line 6 changelog. It's like they got the angry intern to write it.

"Despite what some might have you believe, the only digital multieffects units with true preset spillover were the DigiTech GSP1101, 2112, and 2120, and they accomplished this by dedicating a second identical DSP to spillover and only spillover. (Basically, to hear two dynamically allocated presets with absolutely zero gap—not some global reverb or delay smeared to cover the gap—you need enough DSP to run both of them simultaneously.) So... if you're willing to sacrifice half your DSP—that is, COMPLETELY DISABLE PATH 2—you too can have true preset spillover. "

I love this bit...

"

But but but... I don't wanna lose Path 2 for spillover!

Then keep using snapshots."

Is aggression another effect added to this release?? 🙄

It may work with other FR speakers but those speakers won't be accurately tuned for the imprints. If you like it then it's all good but don't expect them to sound as intended.

Try playing it through headphones from the Kemper and see if it's the same. That will rule out your external monitoring solution.
