The latest craze down here is playing barefoot, straight into an amp.

So I just arrived at a gig with my guitar and Kemper Stage. The only other things I had were my guitar stand, a power lead for the Kemper and a guitar lead.

They couldn't get a signal out of the Main Outs, so we used an adapter to go from the Monitor Out to the desk.

They ran a feed from the desk to a wedge on stage and that was it - my whole rig, carried in and out in one trip. No lugging of amps, no back strain, no chaotic stuffing around with cables and power adapters. Best setup/teardown ever!

Thanks Christoff. New levels. Oh yeah, and I got several comments on how good my tone was - superb.

It's all very confusing

Local Library is local to your Rig Manager on your hard drive. Drag them to “My Profiler” under All Presets, assuming your profiler is connected, which it would need to be.

Genius! Thank you.

This is getting ridiculous.

I've managed to import the new presets into RM, so now they're visible under 'All Presets/Local Library' (they're not in any subfolder).

There are no presets under 'Kemper Drive' on the Stage when browsing presets. How do I get the presets from RM to appear on the Stage so that I can select them with the 'Browse' knob? I can't find any way to put them on the Stage. 'Store in PROFILER' right-click menu is disabled when selecting any preset in RM.

Download the update from the download site. They're in a folder there.

I just get a .pkg file which only reinstalls RM - I can't find any presets folder and the only Factory Content is 7.5.

Where do Stage users get hold of the presets?

The support guy eventually told me that I was doing nothing wrong, and to wait for the next software update.

I did that and the problem was resolved.

Covid interrupted everything everywhere.

..and it's not like any of us are actually playing outside of our bedrooms anyway

Come on guys, give us a hint on if/when this thing will be released.

I know that I for one would be desperate to get hold of a powered Kabinet, even though I'd imagine here in Australia we'd be waiting months after the release date for any stock to arrive.

Anything?

Btw, the old days....I remember lugging my Marshall combo....a good 25+Kg up three flights of steps to a nightclub venue.....and my feet sticking to the floor.

Ah yes! The old stairs and sticky carpets - sheesh. But remember, the alternative to tweaking on the Kemper itself, is to have a laptop connected to the Stage and tweak it via Rig Manager, which is possibly more intuitive than fiddling with knobs and led displays? Just an idea.

1. I've got the Top Jimi EVH pack and it's amazing.

2. Watch the Tone Junkie videos on YouTube. He'll show you all sorts of tricks and tips to get the tone you need. Just set up a Performance and you then have 5 * 2 (with Morphs) patches which you can stagger from cleans to filth with any number of EQs and FX linked to the four stomp switches.

You have a massive number of Performances to play with.

I got the Stage for its small footprint - otherwise you're going to have to carry a toaster/case plus remote, plus other pedals. So far it's been superb, and has everything I've ever needed. I mounted it in a custom roadcase with a Mission expression pedal. If only I'd had this setup back in the days of lugging Marshall quad boxes AND heads AND pedalboards AND gig bag with cables etc. Maybe my back would be in better nick. Heartily recommend getting the Stage. Just make sure you set it up beforehand so you don't have to bend down and tweak things mid-gig.

Context Menu Options

Effect Slots, as well as Parameters, have self-explanatory context menus. It’s always worth to check those out, they contain many shortcuts for you.

Thanks for that. Everything works for me except Space. I'm on a Mac. Maybe there's another shortcut?

As far as I can tell, there's no way to switch to the morphed state in Rig Manager.

It would be nice to have a way of doing this so that you could for example set up a loop then tweak both unmorphed and morphed states in RM.

Quote from dmatthews

My RM updated to 3.0.130.16331 but I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

Anyone else get it, or have change logs?

Same here. No-one seems to know what is different or where it's listed.

Quote from G String

we haven't forgot to tag anything and the downloads work fine.

Well then I must just be an idiot

They've probably forgotten to untag it as a Beta somewhere in their system.

Quote from TheMightyZob

In RM file/preferences then it should work

But that download is not marked as a Beta, it's marked as 'Release'. They normally mark them very clearly so that you can avoid the bugs that are generally found in betas.

I'm confused.
