I find high frets do the same job in a much les destructive way.
Disagree. I have refretted ALL of my guitars with huge extra jumbo stainless steel frets. The "feel" is different. The only similarity is that huge frets (without scallops) force you to play with a light touch too 
I have. Well a very long long time ago in a music store. Nothing special at all. There's no advantage. But do try it if you have the possibility.
There 2 big advantaged with a scalloped fretboard!
1) it forces you to play with a lighter touch. A heavy handed player will sound sharp.
2) it gives you room to grab the string better resulting in better control of the string
Fender Strat YJM model. Lightly used! It's a 2018 model . The guitar isn't available in europe until 2023!!!! And the prices will go even higher. Incredible guitar
I have a recommendation for the Kemper Team
A new feature called "Effect creator/merger" What's this?
Is the ability to merge/stack 2 similar effects into ONE effect slot. For example, I want to emulate the trisereo chorus. Instead of using 3-4 effect slots and eating up space, I can merge them into one single effect slot. I select a micropitch, a hyper chorus and another vintage chorus, click merge and boom I have a single "box" where all the settings of these 3 effects are in only 1 effect. Same thing with reverb and delays.
I don't know if it's possible. The idea came today where I ran out of fx slots trying to emulate an 80s clean rack tone. It can be a great tool for time-based effects only.
Hi everyone!
I'm gonna hook up my powerehead to a guitar cab and i want to record the whole thing. Is THIS procedure the correct?
1)Load a merged (WITH a cab) profile
2)Connect powerhead to cab
3)Connect main out to mixing desk
4)set monitor output and main out to master mono (for mono recording)
5)select monitor cab off so the guitar cab won't get the cab simulation but the mixing desk will get it........correct?
Have i missed something?
Also, how can I empty/clear the cab module? Haven't found anything in browse. Only cab presets!
..........still waiting!
Hi everyone!
I've been trying to setup my Kemper and OBS studio for live streaming. I want the viewers to be able to watch live video from my camera, my guitar sound and the backing track in the background. Would like to use the Facebook live option!
The Kemper is connected using spdif by the way.
I've setup the video which is ok. The problems I have are.
1)the media file (in my case an mp3) doesn't play. I've tried various mp3s but they only play sometimes
2) when the media file decides to perform , the viewers hear 2 guitar tracks instead of one.
Any ideas about the above? Thanks in advance.
Hope they revamp the MOD/Pitch effects!
Hope they makeover the modulations effects (chorus, micropitch, pitch shifting etc) in this update. Much needed
Hi everyone!
I created a performance with 5 rigs. Everything is working great except 1 thing:
When I am at the first rig, the LEDS at the tuner of the kemper turn off for some reason.

Everything is working great, it's just the behavior of the LEDS that drives me nuts 
Hi everyone!
Im going for a rehearsal with my powered kemper. I have created a performance with 5 different rigs and they are all the same volume. What I wonder is the volume when i connect my kemper to a cab. How should I set the master volume in the output section so it will work as a "global" volume? (like raising the volume of an amp). It will be my first time hooking up to a cab.
Hi everyone!
When I bought my Kemper, I bought a pair of studio monitors. Here they are http://www.prodipe.co.uk/studio-monitors/2113-pro-8-v3.html
I had no idea about monitors (i still don't have) and im extremely happy with my purchase. How are these monitors on paper based on their specifications? Also, if i get a pair of yamaha hs8 or genelecs, will i hear a difference for the better? The monitors are used for the kemper mostly and light recording, not so much for mixing/mastering!
(how can i make my link to show like others?)
A multi fx block will be life saving! Oh! And a richer chorus with more options!I would also recommend the drives to be baked in to the amp block
In the new release, there is a bug changing parameters with the mouse wheel. There are big "steps" when changing values
My additions:
- PoE onboard
- Second Morph + separate morph for gain + separate morph for volume
- Automatic assigning of a fixed effect to an effect button no matter where it is in the effect slots (eg right effect button always for pitch, left effect button always for delay, …). Best would be a kind of „Live Mode“ where we are able to select general effect presets that will be added to a profile in the „Live Mode“ (kind of locking feature but with the opportunity to program and save those pedal board presets and apply them as wanted).
- The possibility to plug in my guitar into the remote (not a big fan of wireless systems but I love to have only one cable on stage). Anyway I would not mind a wireless Receiver being built in the Kemper.
- Bar-based Looper with longer recording periods and the ability to safe samples (for recording purposes of ideas that come up with certain profiles).
- Better effect-types and -settings regarding Flanger, Chorus, Tremolo and Phaser. Also consider more trigger options like pitch based altering and activations of effects (LFO, …).
- Input/Output:
- Powercon
- Ethercon right at the KPA- Multi-Gain-Profiling (eg. having the possibility to „store“ different gain stages of the amp to reflect a more natural sound experience when altering the profile)
- A kind of adaption of my pickups to better fit the pickups used by the profilers. Oftentimes the sound is so different from any sound sample.
About the 9. . That's the idea! Every profile will sound different with different pickups etc The kemper responds like a regular amp.
is possible yet. Look at Main Manual page 289:
"Assigning a Second Effect Module
To add a second assignment to the same Effect Button, just repeat the process with another effect module. You will notice the right LEDs by the Effect Button indicate both the effect category and on/off state of your second assignment. Now, you can activate or bypass both effects by stepping on the button on your PROFILER Remote."
This is about switching on or off , two effects at the same time from the remote only
After almost 2 years of having my Kemper and be extremely happy with it, here are the things I would like to see in future updates :
1)Tuner at the rig manager
2)More options on the micropitch effect
3)"stronger" chorus effect. You have to put 2 choruses for a rich sound
4)bbe sonic maximizer-like efffect
5)a richer pitch block
6)ability to implement a drive/boost effect on the amp block so we can have an effect block free
7)save effect presets from the rig manager
8)IF possible, having 2 effects on the same block at the same time
Display MoreI use Cubase so I'm not familiar with where the buttons and knobs are on Reaper, but all DAWs have the same basic functionality. With that said, one thing you'll want to consider is the difference in your DAW between "sends" and "inserts."
An insert can be thought of like a traditional stomp box in front of an amplifier. Your guitar cord goes from guitar into the stomp box, then out of the stomp box into the amp. Thus, it is "inserted" into the guitar signal path.
A send is more like parallel processing. Imagine if your guitar cord went from your guitar and then was split with a Y adapter. One side went into channel one of your amp, and the other side went into channel two. If channel one is your actual guitar tone and channel two was your effect, you could turn the volume of your effect up and down without affecting what's going on with the unaffected tone in channel one. You'd just be mixing in how much of the effect you wanted, to blend it with the unaffected tone.
Back in the DAW, inserts are often used for something like compression, where you don't want to preserve the tone that went into the insert, all you care about is the end result that happens after the effect. On the other hand, reverb is commonly used on a send bus. For instance, you have a singer's vocal track, and then you "mix in" the amount of reverb that you want.
Also, while an insert affects one and only one track, a send bus can be shared by multiple tracks. Using our vocal example, you could have four singers on four tracks. They might be EQ'd differently, but they could all mix in some reverb from the single reverb send. And each singer could mix in different amounts of 'verb if you like.
Now, back to the Kemper. To turn off effects, just press the buttons to turn off stomp boxes, reverb and delay. Now you're tracking just your unaffected guitar tone. Let's say you record it on track one.
In your DAW, you'll want to create a send bus since they're time based effects. (There are ways to do this as an insert but I'm showing the most common use case). Once you have the send bus created, then you select an Eventide effect for that bus. Now go to your guitar track, enable that send, and turn up the volume of the send bus until it's the level you like, thus "mixing in" the effect.
If you want to use more than one Eventide plugin at the same time, simply create additional send busses, e.g. if you want a chorus, a flanger, a delay and a reverb, create four send busses and select each effect into a different bus. Now, on track one where your guitar part is, enable all four sends and mix each one to taste.
As I mentioned, since I don't use Reaper I can't tell you the specifics of how to do this in that environment but it absolutely has these capabilities. Depending on your preferred method of learning, you can either RTFM or search YouTube for "create send bus in Reaper." It's not difficult to do, it's just a matter of getting familiar with it.
Hope this helps!
Thank you VERY much!
