Just seeing if anyone has had this issue? I updated to 10.1.2.47971 today (never did Beta) & if I morph an Amp model by generic gain....or amp gain & save on the Kemper (not via RM) it doesn't remember the settings & will not morph any part of the amp gain again, even if I try again using the Kemper generic. But before I saved & came back to the performance slot it was working great. I have restarted the Stage & Rm. I used the new Liquid M. Britt profile from RM.

Hi all. If I use the Parallel path & have an acoustic Simulator effect in effects slot 1 or 2, is there any way I can make this be panned to left or right so I can have the stacked sound panned the opposite way?
-
Hi. No I use the Kemper stage only. I have tried all of the ground lifts but not surprised that this hasn't helped as it just hiss with a hint of digital clock noise in the background-no hum.

Hi guys, I love my Kemper stage but it has a hiss coming out of Monitor left/right, when using a jack to my monitor amp setup. I always use my main XLR's to the PA.
Also, when I profiled yesterday; any amp I plugged into from send 1 also had the same hiss but after being profiled the profile was clean from any hiss (through the Main XLR outputs to my computer monitor that is) but still hiss in the amp that I use for on stage monitoring. I have tried different amps for monitoring & still have the same hiss. I can even have the tuner mode on & Kemper effectively bypassed .
I just did a test from my Output jacks from Kemper & found I still have the same hiss on Main Right, but not Main Left-strange!!
Any help would be much appreciated.

yes,being a studio owner,session guy, and live giger for over 40 years, I have had a long time to mess with it,,, I have been doing it since day one,, and adj my profiles to taste,, I went thru a ton of cabs till I was happy,,after 7 years of live gigs, every sound man, every one, comes up, and says how good my tone is and how nice to be able to turn up the guitar player,,
I am very much the same as your working situation and I also teach guitar. I have/am still doing what you do as well. A great lifestyle eh? ? . We onstage mix ourselves for most gigs but I do get told by fellow musicians to turn the guitar up quite often. I’m going to look into the profiles to taste option. Do you only adjust the cab settings per profile, or any parameter that works? Cheers

I like the cab on,,, it somehow works for me,, I really dont give a crap about anything other then if it sounds great,,
and it DOES,!!!!!
I tried your suggestion to not engage the cab off in output to monitor section & I must say that I really enjoyed the sound. There was a slight/subtle tone change, but for the better & also closer to what I was hearing in my In ears (I usually only wear one earpiece). Thanx for the suggestion.

So its not taboo and its what works for you BUT, i think it just adds unnecessary complexity - both in a sound (balancing gain - valves add colour even when clean) and logisitics ( more wires, stuff to lug around).
Many people do this to provide what they feel is "missing".
For me:
1) My focus has changed to FOH because I don't mike up now...so I don;t need to get a great sound on stage to translate through the PA
2) I'll take 95% of my sound and less hassle then add this overhead. I love that my sound is consistent ( SS power is more linear than valves-which is part of their charm but farting around finding the sweet spot for me is now just irritating) and reliable, adding valves sort of defeats the point and the KPA becomes more of an expensive FX unit. I like the one stop shop in a box, hence I also don;t use any external pedals.
But that's just me....
Yeah great points. I have all of my sound direct to PA from my Kemper outs (so audience hear my Kemper tones... & in stereo) & only use the amp for monitoring as the guys in the band are old school & play pretty loud.
My amp is small & I can get nice feedback from it, but do not have to have it very loud-think I am running on 18 watts max. As a plus I put some Kemper direct into my ears as well. A bit of old school & modern I guess-works well for me.
Thanx for all your suggestions & input guys. Really appreciate this forum -

Hi Edmayfloyd,
Here's an excerpt from the Kemper Manual (emphasis, mine).
MONITOR OUTPUT (2)
Use this mono output to connect the PROFILER to a stage monitor with its own level controls. This output also has
its own ground lift.
You can also connect this output to a power amp and a regular guitar cabinet. In this case, you need to switch the
cabinet simulation off, using the soft button “Monitor Cab Off” in the Output Section, to prevent the unwanted
coloration that would result from running a speaker emulation through a guitar cabinet.
Bypassing the cabinet module can also be done by simply pressing the CABINET button. However, there are two
differences compared to enabling “Monitor Cab Off”:
• Bypassing cabinet is an individual setting to each Rig, unless you lock the cabinet module in its “off” state. Monitor
Cab. Off is a global setting.
• It will bypass the cabinet module for all outputs, whereas "Monitor Cab Off" will only affect the signal routed to the
MONITOR OUTPUT (and the built-in power amp of PowerHead and PowerRack).Kemper Manuals and Quick Start guides (search for OUTPUT).
ST
Thanx ST. Yes I use it as specified in the manual (above) & I do put a bit in my in ear monitors (fed from my Kemper stereo outs thru mixer etc.) so I do get the best of both worlds. I have had the Kemper for almost a year now & done heaps of gigs with it already, so very happy.

If you like what you are hearing, that is what is important
if it ain’t broke.... don’t fix it ??

Thanx for your replies guys. I thought it was taboo to use a valve amp & was not sure why. I just watched a Rhett Shull video where he used one, so feel better now. I have my main outputs sent to PA in stereo & my amp (monitor out) in mono & I record our band from the desk most nights. The guys at Kemper are awesome. I do not have any weird effects drop out monitoring in mono at all. Great unit-loving it.

Hi all. What is the main reason/objection to using a valve amp for monitoring onstage? I get a really great sound on stage (using return channel from a Hughes & Kettner tubemeister 36 watt combo) but wonder if I am not hearing the profile sounds as intended (the way I am hearing them through the amp) or whether my onstage sound would be noticeably better with a solid state amp . Any information would be great please
-
Ha ha. Glad I could help you. Have fun!!

Hi. If you are using the stage: Make sure you are on the slot you want copied. Hold the Rig button down for 2 seconds & then push copy. Move to the performance & slot you want to move your rig to & push Rig again for 2 seconds & push paste from the screen.

I recorded our band (direct from the desk) over the weekend & I noticed that the recording (guitar direct via Kemper out) was Clean & void of artifacts, where as my amp was sounding nasty with digital noise while using the whammy/+24 pitch shift. The whole band noticed it on stage. Is my guitar amp (for monitoring) not handling the extra frequency range perhaps or is there a setting for the monitor out I should change?? Thanx
-
Yes. Totally agree. I used the delay mix expression pedal on my Digitech Rp1000 on most presets & really miss that feature. Love the Kemper & the morphing but need the other option as well .... please.

Hi Edward, thanx for your advice to drop Kemper a line. They got back to me very fast. It seems like a was a bit heavy footed & was leaving my foot on too long. It is a just a very quick tap to set up 60 second loop. I am not sure if Craig has worked it out already but simple answer for a puzzling question. Cheers again. Jase
-
Hi Edward, Thanx for the reply. Yes, I have been updating regularly thru the Rig manager etc. I have already done a lot of gigs with the Kemper so hoping the buttons are all lubed up by now. I will drop Kemper a line.
Cheers Jase
