  • Seeking lighter alternative to Friedman ASM-12

    Quote from Stringtheorist

    Cheers for the recommendation. I have to note that reviews I saw on Youtube suggest the Altos don't sound that great and have an excessive amount of bass which can't be dialled out. Obviously, your opinion differs.

    Excessive bass? Well that may be the TS212 or TS312. My TS210 has a perfect mix of everything, certainly not excessive bass. I play in a cover band which requires a big pallet of tones. For self monitoring and playing at home you can't beat the TS210 or two of them. They sound beautiful.

  • Seeking lighter alternative to Friedman ASM-12

    Quote from Stringtheorist

    I've run my KPA through a succession of active floor monitors including the Atomic CLR and currently the Friedman ASM-12. I love the Friedman more than anything else I've used but it's an absolute beast to carry and it's put my back out more than once. So I'm looking now for a lighter alternative, preferably without any loss in tone. My KPA is a Power Rack; are there any passive monitors that would fit the bill?

    Hey Stringtheorist I own a Friedman ASM-10 which is lighter than the ASM12. I'm selling my ASM10 because my Alto TS210 sounds just as good or better, is much much lighter and less expensive. So I'm selling my ASM10. So try the Alto TS210 or TS310. You can buy 2 for under $500! Great full sound and very light weight.

  • Neal Schon's soaring lead tone?

    Quote from SliderJeff

    This might help, as it's his rig rundown from that same year. It appears he's using an Axe-FX. I didn't watch the whole thing, but it might give you some hints.


    Yes he uses the Ax for only effects. He uses different amps all the time. Changes them often. I've seen him live and his solo fx are beautiful. The sound is big, very spacey and ethereal.

  • Neal Schon's soaring lead tone?

    I absolutely love Neal's tone in this video. It sounds like he has a big open natural sounding reverb along with some delay and it sounds very wide and open. Question for the Kemper veterans: Which reverb and delay combination would work best to get that sound in the intro in this video? Thanks!

  • How to Connect an iPad or iPhone

    My BIG question has been this: Is there a way to record into an Ipad pro using Garage band out of a Kemper?? Is there an interface that could be used for this? I would love to know if anyone out there has tried this successfully or has information. Thank you in advance!

    Thank you! I have the EVH flanger pedal with the small button that gets you that specific sound. Was trying to get it in the Kemper. Will give this a try.

    Did you remove the profiles? Nowhere to be found in RE.

  • Remote display visability

    Quote from Peter@Kemper

    If you are working in Performance Mode you can also try to choose the other display layout

    Thank you Peter@Kemper. I have tried different layout. The problem is when playing outside, with a lot of sunlight on stage it is very difficult almost impossible to read the display. I'm trying to figure out how best to eliminate this.

    First I would make sure the contrast is set as high as possible but if that doesn’t work the solution is the same as all all other musical issues - Gaffer Tape!


    I would just tape a little piece of cardboard in the appropriate position to shield the screen from the direct light.

    Yes! Gaffer's tape is EVERYTHING solution! Thank you Wheresthedug .
