Kemper Compressor tip

ECma7 · Jul 8th 2014

Recently I fell in love with the Suhr Koji Comp.

One thing that sets is apart from most compressors is the blend knob and voice (eq).
After playing around with the Kemper comp I was able to pretty much match the Koji comp by using the mix and an EQ after the comp.
I like to hit the comp hard intensity: 5 - 7 attack: 2.8 squash: 5
Then use the mix to taste, i use from %50-%65
Boost the upper mids on the eq after the comp...
The key is using the mix control.
Great for clean sounds and in front of an overdrive too

et voila! Koji Comp or Xotic Comp cloned
Is it as good.... pretty dam close.
Still I'm keeping the Koji, it has great mojo.

Please, if possible, share a Profile that uses your Compressor settings and the mid boost EQ...I'd love to try it.

Thanks

Yeah I used a wampler Ego for the same 'mix' control but the Kemper pretty much does the same thing great

Thanks !

i had really problems with dialing the comp in... now it´s awesome i put both the comp and a mid-boost EQ on 60-80%. very nice for heavy stuff too!

Hey ECmaj7, Just tried your comp settings, very nice! Your preset is a keeper.

I used to have 4 compressors on my studio pedalboard to get all the flavours I wanted. Now I just use the comp in the Kemper. Best compressor I've ever had, digital or analog.

Cheers,
