I hate to burst your bubble or hope to file a claim, but typical home warranty insurance paid by the seller when buying the house covers any unforeseen occurrences specific to items (i.e. appliances, A/C, furnace, dishwasher, etc.) which came with the house. These cover either the item to be replaced or the labor to repair it with a deductible of course. Most of the time the company tries to get out of the cheap by "repairing" the item, so even here you got to watch and sometimes challenge their decision. I seriously doubt they are going to buy you a new Kemper or even fix your Kemper. On the other hand if you in fact had a surge protector or power conditioner in line with the appliance (the Kemper in this case), sometimes the better units carry a warranty with them that if they don't protect the item they'll replace it. People generally buy these high end power conditioners with line filtering and surge protection when they are trying to protect a very expensive home entertainment systems against power spikes, lightning, and etc. You'd have to look into if in fact the unit/manufacturer carries this type of protection and I'm not talking about a those cheap power strips.

Nice job and great work to the Kemper team on the Legends pack! Definitely enjoyed trying and playing thru these profiles. Looking forward to future Legends packs!

This one is another great sounding and versatile rig. I don't quite get the sound of the pitch shifter, but the lower octave effect adds fullness to the sound providing a thick and awesome rhythm tone along with a nice lead effect. Nice job djemass.

He mentions a Friedman head "Brown hole" profile he uses (@ 8:00) in the video and also mentions profiles on RE, but I think he really means browneye (BE). You might start there.

Go the RE and type in "Friedman Brown"

Oh well sorry that is not an option. I've heard good stories about Kemper service in making things right. Who knows maybe you'll be out just the shipping charges and they'll fix on their nickel since it was a known defect. Good luck!

Have you tried this approach? See if any of those dealers know of any certified repair centers in your area. Here in the US they have three listed for example.

I suspect his delay/reverb settings or even the amps he is using are not the secret sauce in creating his signature sound .. his soaring and singing lead tones. Although any good reverb and delay will bring fullness and depth to the tone, the secret sauce to his sound are those two mini toggle switches behind the bridge. There lies a sophisticated sustainer circuit. He explains and demonstrates it in this video.

The guitar he is using, a Les Paul Custom is heavily modified and looks similar (same switches and circuit) to be the one in the poster's original video and question.

Thanks! Definitely sound cool sounds out of this rig. Nice job.

I had 543 profiles on the Kemper, seems like I collected way too many and didn't use most of them. Did a heavy "spring cleaning" and narrowed the herd down to 38. Here is a sample of those which I believe are exceptional and well done for what they are and seek to accomplish. These are are my current go to profiles:

Wizard MC1 by Grasley Studio: Rhythm and lead, nice sounding, for that AC/DC vib and sound to the max!

Marshall Super Bass by MSuijs: Nice collection from clean to screaming mean distortion of a classic.

Eruption SGS by Mekmorakoth: Nicely done EVH sound.

Friedman-BE-SS by Britt: One of the better Friedman's I was able to find.

Henning_cherry_ bomb_ROD_maxS: Nice high gain distortion.

Great sounding profile. To bad there are not more Wizard profiles out there.

Who is singing on that? It reminds me of Steve Miller.

Since playing thru these for awhile now, I noticed the following. When playing thru profiles Green A & Green B settings SP1 thru SP4, I don't notice any apparent changes to the gain and/or EQ LEDs on the front panel of the toaster and they all seem to sound the same. While all the other profiles have obvious changes in their settings and do sound different. Anybody else notice this? What am I missing here?

Thanks a bunch! These are truly a fantastic set of profiles. Probably the best collection in one place I've found so far.

Thanks, these definitely have a nice hard rock sound and edge to them.

I like it! Definitely one of the better rigs I've downloaded. It's now in my favorites, which is a selective few.

Try these procedures. Hope these helps!

Ricky Storti Soldano X88R Lead with Marshall 1960 cabinet is very near to Gary Moore sounds ( even live) ........... to adapt with your pickups

Where is this profile? I did multiple searches on Rig Exhange and there were no hits

Nice job again!

Hey thanks a bunch for creating these. I gave them a quick run thru and they sound great! I'll definitely have to play these some more. Just out of curiosity, where did you have the "thump" knob set when you profiled these?

Well that sucks!

Here is another reference I found which appears to be quite comprehensive. It talks about some of the previous procedures in that first link that I found for you. But it also shows this procedure which is a factory reset. See and review the "Emergency Procedures" and "Profiler does not start anymore" sections.

I'm afraid from what you are saying my guess is your system firmware or boot maybe very well be corrupted. It looks like the factory reset / flash memory is a last resort. But I believe if you do this you will loose all your rigs. So this is well past my "pay grade" or experience therefore I'm not advocating you do this. Proceed at your own risk or wait for Kemper to respond if you don't feel comfortable tackling this!

Maybe some of the more seasoned experts on this forum will join in to provide some further guidance on this.

My problem (a corrupted rig file) while it was frustrating and time consuming is nothing compared to this situation.

Again just trying to help. Good luck!
