I finally got around to playing through these last night. They are such a blast. Do yourself a favor and grab this pack.
Oraakkeli , I can't believe you would offer these for free, but we thank you. What a gift to the guitar and Kemper communities.

Fascinating! Hey, what did you say your pet's name and the last four of your SSN were again?

ham-fisted hot take

That thing is beautiful. What a treat it would be if the official editor came with more eye candy than was shown at NAMM. Fingers crossed.
Correction: the editor will be a treat. Graphics would be icing on the treat.

Maybe G-Dog meant "soon" as in number of posts, not length of time. As soon as we hit 100 pages we'll all get an "Editor Unlocked" message.

Has anyone here successfully implemented a noise gate pedal with dedicated send/return into the Kemper's loop module? I've tried a Boss NS-2 and an EHX Silencer. I keep getting a nasty feedback loop (squeal). ID10T error?

Genuine question...what will the editor be able to do that we can't currently?
My studio time = money....and if it makes things easier and speeds up workflow, then lovely...but is that it?
I'm hopeful it'll speed up the auditioning of cab IRs. Currently, you have to convert third-party IRs using Cab Simulator, drag to a USB drive, load into the Kemper through a series of button commands, scroll through several hundred IRs (in my case) to get to the ones you just imported, then perform about 5 seconds worth of additional button presses (hold "Cab," scroll, audition, play, repeat) just to find out you didn't like any of the ones you just demo'd. Then you have to manually delete these one by one, or do something crazy like modify a Kemper backup file, just to get back to where you were before auditioning.
If the Editor streamlines any part of this, it will be most useful. Icing on the cake will be user Stomp presets, a cleaner GUI (drag and drop?), and a workflow that doesn't require me hunched over my Toaster multiple times a session.

@G String , the natives are getting restless here. Any update you can provide would be most appreciated.

The Morley M2 Mini expression pedal worked great for me before I upgraded to an FCB1010. These retailed for around $50 last year. Bulletproof steel enclosure. Totally passive design. If you were in the US, BjornNilsson, I'd sell you mine.

That pedal looks sick, nightlight. I like how chunky the footboards are. It looks like you could fit all your toes on there, barefoot.
Nice in-ears, faraway. I bought a pair of AM-20s last month. Like them so far?

Great interview. I watched the whole thing. Thanks for sharing.
-
I build my own circuits. These amps are my experiments.
Way cool. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor.

Oh, how I love these cultish threads. YES! KEMPER FOREVER!
Are you surprised to find pro-Kemper shared experiences on a Kemper forum? I wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers. Follow whatever inspires you.

I had a look around and couldn't find any of my posts on this even 'though I've mused on the topic several times, Bob. My intention was to link to them in that post, partly because Lance (Guitartone) said he hadn't seen anything said about this.
Sorry mate.
No worries. I lean on your authority for all things Kemper. Just curious.
-
That's just on the physical side; there's the electrical stuff too. 100% agree that Kemper's cabs aren't in the same league as IR's... IMHO.
Thanks for weighing in, Nicky. I still prefer my long-tail OwnHammer IRs to the Kemper's speaker models in many cases. Care to dig up some posts about what makes the Kemper superior? I'm genuinely interested to know.
-
Your conclusions are based on unfamiliarity and familiarity.
Sure. As stated: my limited experience. I've seen plenty of videos of killer-sounding Helices and Fractals.

Sounds like you have a winner
We're all winners this fine day.

An acquaintance of mine was selling his Fractal AX8. I borrowed and auditioned it overnight at a friend's house, a studio owner, using his Helix floorboard and Kemper toaster to compare. It was super validating to me as a Kemper owner, and it reaffirmed in my mind how heads-and-tails ahead of the industry the Kemper DNA still is.
This is super anecdotal, and I don't wish to crap on other platforms. But I thought I'd share my experience for anyone else who's seeking greener grass. I had gotten a bug in my ear that Fractals were better for metal gains, so I wanted to see for myself. High gain is definitely the Fractal's strength, in my limited experience, but even so, almost each of the 160+ patches on the unit fell flat for me. We went from struggling to find patches we liked enough to modify on the Fractal to kind of digging a few on the Helix. Then I said, "let's fire up the Kemper for a final comparison." And holy smokes. The bawls. The depth. The dimension. The sense of listening to a miked amp from the control room. And that was just cruising through Cloud presets.
In conclusion, though I'll admit that high-gain Kemper patches still leave me wanting, I can say from my limited experience that they're still by far the best out of the three major platforms. And that's to say nothing of the verge-of-breakup gristle tones that the Kemper does so well, and by which so many other modelers fall flat.

I have both and would like to know how to profile my amps with the ox's cab simulations.... And my two notes torpedo cab emulations as well.
Can you explain the setup and process for this?
Hi Rick. It's super easy for the OX. All you'll need is an XLRM-TRS "Y" splitter cable. I combined one of these cables with one of these adapters, though I'm sure you can find a prewired cable on Amazon.
Run out of the two TRS "Line/Mon Out" outputs on your OX into the XLR "Return Input" on your Profiler (assuming you have the toaster or rack), then stage the gain using the "Line Out" control on your OX and the input volume soft control on the Profile mode of your Kemper. I usually start around 5 on the OX and around -25dB on the Profiler. Hope this helps.
-
Kemper and every major outlet are claiming the Profiler Stage can profile. Any idea how? It looks like it operates in Browse and Perform modes only, and I don't see an XLR mic input on the back.
