At the end its all about the feel and the tone?

Yep. You can't fool a blind test. No amount of PR can do that.

This is my point, as the original statement was about recording..

Dual amps has been discussed many times and I can see why people might want it for live but not for recording.

In the past when studios had limitations with tracks but not these days.

So apart from speed, why you would commit sounds to a recording? with 2 mics you have that option to blend post recording.

As I said, Im a total amateur so happy to be told I don't know what I'm talking about but the original point was I want dual amps so I can record 2 tracks with different sounds. I would never record like that. I would either record once and use plugins to adjust the sound or record 2 separate tracks to get the chorusey effect the way 2 live guitarist do...

It just seems counter productive to limit one's recording options straight out the gate with dual amp patches. I'd rather have everything completely separate because you still have to mix everything back into a full mix after the fact.

Granted it was with 3 Metal guitarist, but it was pretty definitive

Isn't metal Neural's target market??

Quote from unclemar

if it aint broke..... don't fix it ?????????? Kemper is jus fine,,Leave all the options,,,its what makes it great and a cut above all others,

,,if you want something else, go get it, Kemper is just like the telecaster, everyones' been trying to improve it for 50 years, but you cant, because Leo got it right the first time,, just like CK,got his unit,,RIGHT,,, I know it pisses a lot of gear chases off, but you will just have to deal with it,they have all been chasing CK and always will,, sorry,, but facts are facts,remember, most of these folks yakin are GEAR CHASERS,( you must admit your problem before you can get better) and as soon as the next wiz bang unit comes out,,with the special Moon chips,, they will jump on that train as well,

"Oh LOOK,, 9 amps at once,,,,,,..." I prefer to write tunes, record, and play music with my Kemper,, what a concept,,,rather then sit in a room to see how many delays I can stack up before it craps out,,, Lets see in a year from now just how many Quads are on the road with super stars, gig after gig,,I see Rack fulls, of Kempers on stages around the world in every type of music,,the rest is just noise from endorsers and gear chasers, who will move on soon enough,,its what they do,I may try other gear,,The Quad may be cool,,,or not,, time will tell,,not UTUBE,, but I will never sell my Kemper,,

And,, I sure hope he( CK) has something cool in the works,,,

And where did I advocate for changes? Please read what I wrote again thanks.

I suspect that the Profiler has too many options ... ?

If you are thinking of limiting the options in regards profiling (which might help level the playing field with these kinds of unscientific videos), can you make it a choice so the original options remain?

It seems the only way to "fix" this second guessing on refining is to make it an automatic part of the profiling process.... as an option.

Quote from tizianonatale

I presume you were answering to me.. thank you anyway.

But I tried both without success, and I know the post is talking about the Beta but I presume 3.1 now is realease version and not Beta anymore.. am I wrong?

Indeed it seems to be the new release version on Windows.

If this was happening to me, I would remove Rig Manager first. Then I would rout out the offending driver via device manager. Then I would rename the "Kemper.sys" file to "Kemper.sysold". Then I would install the BETA and that's it.

Quote from Ibot39

But to install the beta, I have to first install the latest RM. That does install the driver again, doesn't it??

How can I install the beta alone?

There is no new driver.

Quote from Silvio Ricci

I know but maybe somebody heard sonething ?

I heard that Neural are going to use their Neural Engine inside the QC to play the guitar for you....

You could rename the Kemper.sys file to Kemper.sysold and see if you can reinstall Rig Manager. That might fix it.

The offending driver is most likely hidden because it's not working. Best way to rid your system of an old driver is to use device manager but with the hidden drivers flag activated. Windows hides inactive drivers from the list so you have to unhide them... Here's a video on how to do just that. Then when you find the hidden driver, just uninstall it by right clicking and selecting uninstall device...

Quote from drew_fx

The vents are for WIFI, not temperature - according to Doug Castro.

It would make you wonder then how they got a 2Ghz SHARC to run fanless if those vents were just for wifi....

Maybe I am lucky but this beta installed and worked flawlessly on my Windows 10 pc.

Quote from OneEng1

The ergonomics of the QC for live use is far inferior to the KPA IMO. The idea that the reviewer had QC and KPA tied in this area seemed to be just wrong to me.

The other points were valid for the most part; however, the QC doesn't seem like a great live tool to me.

Compared to the KPA Rack version with a FC the value of live shifts even further into the KPA column IMO. Of course, this is also a more expensive setup compared to the QC so it isn't as fair a comparison.

I still think the QC is going to be a nice tool, just not for my purposes .... although I would have really liked the USB audio interface recently as I just did my very first ever in my life recording for someone (had to do something since I still can't gig!).

I feel like the glossing over of the live features of the KPA (looper, ergonomics, performance mode, more buttons, better button placement, etc) were really not given the proper scrutiny in this review. The unproven mechanical track record should also be a warning flag for ANY new piece of gear for those of us that gig (and especially those that tour). That was also glossed over. I know the reviewer waved a hand over the buttons on the QC because they "felt solid". These buttons are new, and no other product has had them (ie buttons that are also control knobs). Personally, I would like to see a couple of years of use "in anger" out in the field before I would be convinced that this design is NOT going to be an issue. Good Lord knows those of us that have been playing for a few decades know how long it took to get simple mechanical switches to the point were they are today.

I am hearing pretty consistently that the QC capture is better than the KPA even though similar results can be eventually obtained by the KPA. This is impressive considering the relative immaturity of the QC.

One of the major issues I think might come to light over time will be the thermal issues. The QC has massive vents for a reason and if those vents get blocked due to the harsh environments (dust and dirt) they are likely to be in due to live use, it's a nightmare in the making. Especially if it happens during a gig... Also that power supply is another massive weak link that can fail. These are serious concerns if one is planning on live use..

You could try a third party tool to brute force remove the kemper driver... That might help to clear it out before you try to reinstall the Rig Mananger again.

are all you 3.1.57 guys on Windows ??

my two Macs show 3.1.56 after the update to the latest Beta

3.1.57 on windows here. They must have had two different versions depending on platform

It was the Kemper that opened my eyes to the tonal shaping from the volume knob. Up until then I was using the knob full open and that was it. I guess when you have snapshots of really awesome amps and they have that touch sensitivity, you start to appreciate the possibilities.
