Another great use for the looper (or a separate looper pedal works really well) or auditioning tones is to get a Looper Pedal (the Kemper looper should work). I record some basic Open Chords and/or riffs, depending what type of sound I am going for and then loop those tones and audition the various Rigs. Mix, stir or season to taste. It works well. Hope that helps somebody. I am sure others are already doing something similar.

I actually finally took it out of the box and hooked it up and am running the two in stereo. Not sure I can sell I now because it sounds amazing in stereo.. You were right MuddySludge.. Deep down I knew you would be.. Thanks!

Very tempting MuddySludge. I may ultimately do that if it doesn't sell in the next week or two. Thanks

I ordered an Xitone Michael Britt Cabinet (Silverface) at the end of April. As luck would have it, I found a used one on Craigslist (Amazing sounding). I just received the New one today about 8 weeks from order date, I did not cancel the order as I was thinking I may want to run stereo. I am fine with Mono.
I would like to sell the brand new cab (Unopened) for $1000 shipped. That is less than I paid for it.

Thank you for using the correct "to's". Too many people don't know how to..... LOL.

Dual amps is the biggest thing I miss about my old stereo tube amp rig. My Kemper sounds as good as any amp I've had the budget to own and a lot more. But it doesn't sound as good as my old AC15 and Deluxe Reverb with stereo delay and reverb effects separating the field.
I bet it did sound fantastic. What else could ever sound that good? I think that is a unique setup that can only be recreated by the original config of those amps. But it doesn't hurt to ask for it. Maybe the editor will bring some additional capabilities later this year??

Very interesting. Cool concept. I could see a lot of tone sculpting uses.

Very nice. Great sounds and nice production.

Such great advice from so many experienced Kemper users.
I have only had mine for about 5 weeks. Unpowered Toaster.
My take away is: I bought it used (like new condition) with about 930 profiles on it. It was somewhat overwhelming. I invested a lot of time going through most of the profiles. So many great sounds. But at the end of the day I am more of a clean-tone kind of player. Fender Deluxe Reverb etc.. I made a backup of all of those profiles and then deleted most of the high-gain profiles. I now still have over 100 profiles on my Kemper, but I will be pairing that back even more.
Honestly, I could probably get by with about 10 profiles and even that might be overkill.
If you are only using it to play and record for yourself, find a sound you like and play play play. Isn't that why we bought out guitars and amps for in the first place?
Most of us have "wasted" thousands on equipment we should not have purchased and sold for a loss or ended up giving away. We live and (hopefully) learn. Kemper has made that learning process easier for me.
My Kemper can give me any Amplifier I want/need for little or no additional cost, now and into the foreseeable future. It is probably the single best music investment I have made.

Awesome. Thank you

Wouldn't it be great if they came out with a Pedal Profiler? Profile all the great pedal effects for the last 60 years or so? To me, that is Kemper II.
