Thanks Monkey_Man, yeah i'm the spring chicken! This was a fun shoot and turned out to be a great video, new album releases tomorrow on iTunes.

The first music video for the new album In Your Arms from Oblivion Myth is here!! IN YOUR ARMS music video

Yes!!!

I have a good rhythm patch that I want to do swells in but feel it dies off way to soon even with the gate off. What are some suggestions?

This reminds me of my own "tipping point". I had mine for a few weeks and had been comparing it with my Bogner Shiva and thinking there was a lot missing. So I plugged the Kemper straight into the speakers of the Bogner and it sounded virtually identical. The next day I was playing through it and forgot which one I was playing until I looked over and the Bogner power light was off. ?

I had my old rig setup to where I could A/B them and I could not tell the difference. I think for hard rock and metal its best to use a good guitar cab. Wouldn't change a thing.

I bought the powered kemper and use it with the same cab i played my peavey jsx through. Profiled my peavey jsx with my speaker cab and its the only profile I ever use. Literally sounds just like my jsx side by side.

You know how hard it’s been to dial in that 2.3 mix on your reverb every time or whatever it may be. The knobs seem to be so sensitive when trying to get to a certain number. Please make an option to adjust the sensitivity of the knobs.

Could you pickups be really high? I had read earlier this week of someone having a similar issue.

Perhaps you are clipping the input? Do you see that its clipping?

Look at the 250a series amps.

I was there looking for information about the one in the kemper but couldn't find anything that pointed out anything about the kemper.

You can find technical details at the ICEpower website about the power amp in the Kemper.

Would you mind providing a link, I’d love to read about them?

Curious to see what everyone’s experience has been with the power amp. Has anyone had any failures or issues with the power amp itself? My Power rack pushes a 4x12 cab at about -14db and just curious of how much life these power amps may have.

I just got the kemper a few weeks ago and havent spent a ton of time with it because ive been really busy. But ive made a little progress, mostly with the stock dual rectifier, peavey XXX, and the Engl Invader profiles. I have a few problems however.

1. The most problematic is that I have been playing on a Line 6 combo for the entirety of my guitar playing for the last 13 year's, so this is a massive upgrade, but I dont understand parameters well enough to understand them beyond the obvious bass, treble, mids and gain, to dial them well, let alone understand them from a physical/sonic/electrical perspective. This becomes a problem when trying to dial in FX parameters, knowing which FX to use, and where. I have the quick start manual and the main, big manual.

2. I love the sound of the XXX and the Engl Invader, but I still am not spot on yet. What tends to happen is without a distortion FX, they dont sound gainy enough. When I add distortion they sound way too compressed, harsh, and thin. It seems like there is a very fine line when adjusting distortion FX parameters.

3. When I do get close, it seems to sound either harsh, thin, or both, not warm enough. I'm wondering if there are other FX I should be using, or not using, or if I'm just doing something else wrong. Ive gotten about as far as using a distortion FX and an EQ and the EQ is pretty confusing to me. It seems like when I just use a boost instead of distortion its not enough gain. I'm kinda lost. I feel like I need a class.

4. I'm using FX generally after the rig in the signal chain, because that is how a lot of the stock high gain profiles are set up. Dont know if thats correct.

Also, this is a dumb question but is there a list of the real names of the available stock rigs? I just want to have an idea of what is there and is not. I'm trying to get as far as i can with stock rigs, before I treat myself to buying some for purchase ones. I havent even touched Rig Exchange yet. Someone did tell me that I'm missing out on the really really good shit though thats for download free and for purchase and said its a massive world of difference.

For reference I'm currently playing through a Headrush FRFR 8 inch 1000rms speaker. I really like FRFRs i can see myself getting a much higher end much bigger one one day, id also like to try the Kemper thru a tube power amp thru a 4X12 guitar cab too. But thats just future for now I'm happy with my FRFR

Try the profile I have of my Peavey Jsx on the exchange. Search "Selby".

With playing metal through my experiences a 4 x 12 cab sounds so much more natural to me, its what most of us have been hearing for years. Will never go the flat response route as they never sounded natural to me and I know a lot of that is what i've been used to for so long.

My powered rack powers a 4x12 cab turned up pretty loud and it gets warm but nothing compared to my peavey jsx turned up to the same volume.

Over time i'm sure they will refine it more and it will be better.

Thanks for letting us know....

I have about 120, plenty for me as I only really use about 5.

What does reining actually do? Is their a right and wrong way to refine?
