Hello all, I am happy to join the club finally

Hi All,

I would like to say hello to all the member of this community!

My powered rack kemper arrived just today!!!

After reading and following the discussions in this forum, I have finally decided to give it a try and I ordered a kemper last week.
I have slowed down with music the last 10 year, but have decided to jump in again. Fortunately I was offered enough opportunities from the "old" fellows how stayed in business and I thoughed it´s maybe best to try them all, just to see whats the right thing for me.
I joined several bands. All of them just play here and then. Each of them in a different stylistic area. So I play
- acoustic guitar in a unplugged band
- bass in a kind of oldie group
- electric guitar in a jazz/funk crossover thing
- electric guitar in classic rock cover band (whitesnake, thin lizzy ...)
A good range. It won´t get boring

Straight away I noticed that this different roles also throw me into the "gear-battle". I don´t wanna get lost in buying and maintaining gear for every of this bands.
The promise of the kemper is, that it is able to handle it all. "one for all" is my goal.
I hope the kemper get´s me there!
Let´s see. Next couple of weeks will be very interesting I guess. I know that this will be challenging, but hopefully fun too.

And I think I will need this forum for help. Please don´t let me down ;-)))

thanks a lot for the warm welcome.
I already have a question. (Maybe it should be posted in a different thread, but somehow I am not yet allowed to post in the private forums for some reason.)

I have updated my kemper with FW 3.0.2. All went fine.
But I was expecting that the new factory presets would come with it. The kemper website lists some of Michael Britt`s profiles here
http://www.kemper-amps.com/pag…__Mic_Reference_List.html
I guess this should be the ones with prefix "MB" in the profile name.
I cannot find them (my filter is on "all rigs" and sort order "by name"

Do I need to install the presets separately?

thanks a lot Ingolf. I had tried RigManager some days ago. But it is far more interesting with the unit connected

It was a typical newbee question I know. But what can you, if you want to play with some good sounds as fast a possible. I have found a good clean and a good marshal rig. That´s enough for the first day. I am happy

jazz is much too complicated. I am thinking about adding a brass quartet to the collection. much easier for guitar
