Thank you! These sound fantastic- great job on your profiles!

I have Big Sur on my Mac Air and Rigmanager runs fine - no issues.

I have the same interface, using a Mac Air and GarageBand- I’m using normal guitar cables into the Focusrite though... not balanced. I haven’t tried using the balanced, but frankly it sounds so good I haven’t wanted to try.

One thing I’m not doing is the -12 db thing... seems unnecessary, just set the input gain where you don’t have clipping. Also, don’t set it for “instrument or mic” on the front (small button to the right of the input) as I belief that activates a preamp.

My recent recordings I’ve done by using both inputs simultaneously to take advantage of the stereo effects on the Kemper, usually I record dry into the DAW and use its effects so I can tweak post. Still on the fence as to which sounds better, but it’s always sounded good.

I’ve always done it for the pure joy of being able to share my gift in a positive way. The folks I play with are like family... most I’ve known for many years. That outweighs any pay I would ever get out of it.

Not my day job of course and if it was, I may feel differently.

How to get a “worship” guitar tone?

take a great Vox style amp (Vox, Matchless , Morgan etc) running in the sweet spot around the edge of breakup. Marvel in the gloriously juicy tone coming from your amp. Then, completely obliterate it with so much delay and reverb that the guitar sounds like is bobbing around in a sonic ocean and you can no longer hear anything meaningful ?

sorry in advance for being an arse. I know that sound does work for many players but its way over the top for my liking. The first thing I need to do with most profiles is remove about 90% of the delay and reverb ?

I know you’re jesting but this is spot on. The “wash” is very popular now... TONS of reverb, usually multiple delays... the more ambient the more it’s “cool”.

Not my thing but hey... I like it from time to time for a special effect, but not all the time.

I’ve been playing in Churches for years - long before the current Worship Style became very popularized with Hillsong etc. Years ago, I was an amp/pedal guy then embraced the earlier Line 6 stuff when it first came out. The sound wasn’t the same but I made it work because I preferred the simplicity.

Fast forward to now - some of the Worship Guitar Players I know are using pedalboards and racks? I get it, lots of “color”... but again, I like to make it easy. I bought the Stage last year and that’s all I use... and it sounds awesome. I compared the Helix (not the 3.0 I’m sure) and the Axe FX... too much for me... too much programming and tweaking.

I have paid for a few profiles and performances from Tone Junkie that are great, but my faves are the ones I’ve built on my own. My stock sound is the Morgan AC, add reverb (I admittedly don’t use as much as many), Delay and run my amp slightly overdriven.... if I need a clearer tone I roll off the volume on my LP. Just like the old days except I’m using a profile as opposed to the real amp.

I wish I had the time back that I spent tweaking with Line 6 stuff years ago... too much time spent trying to make something work. THAT is my bigger love of the KPA.. I can get a GREAT sound in seconds...

That said, play what you like and what moves you... have fun!

Hey all, this is my first time doing this - I read on this forum a lot (you guys are great!) and thought I would share something. I'm a closet player and music is my therapy - thought recording some Holiday Music might cheer up what seems to be such a sad year for many of us.

Anyway, this is my cover of the TSO version of this great song. Hope you enjoy - j

Done - glad to help out and good luck!

+1 on the MB Profile... it nails it for me

Mine has been plugged up for weeks... ready to go!

Glad it worked - I was a tad bit frustrated myself before I heard about this trick... sounded awful before you pulled it slightly out. Interestingly enough - I’m using Bose Headphones as well.

this may sound strange - but try pulling the headphone jack out ever so slightly... I’ve found that some headphones don’t “sit” in the input correctly and when you push them all the way in... sounds distorted as you mentioned,

Looks good! Tad bit cheaper than some other options and better protection than a bag.

Compressor + Delay + Fender Amp profile will get you most of the way there... it doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s more in the fingers than anything - compression gives the “snap” needed so much for this style.... the delay gives the “slap”.

I prefer a lightly broken up amp as opposed to a overdrive pedal for this stuff - but that’s just me.

No issues on my end

Agreed - I thought it was a software bug when I first noticed it. I’ve since gotten used to it, but would be nice to adjust it.

Would it be more easy to tune if Big Cents was in center under the Bubble, so your eyes dont get drawn to left of the display?

If the Big Cents was in the middle of the display under the Bubble you can watch both at the same time.

For me that would been better solution

What do others think of that?

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.

My favorite use of this feature.

I know it’s hard to plan for anything these days - just knowing that it’s on the radar gives me some hope. Looking forward to this when it lands!

Hardly any tweaking at all for me - if I can’t make it happen in about 20 seconds I move on. I might adjust definition or clarity, but rarely ever the gain.. just too many good ones that are easy to find.

Same here - a bit unnerving at first... 2nd reboot and rocking away... no issues.
