New user blown away plus question

Autumn · Dec 26th 2015

Hi everyone, I just got a Kemper and am completly blown away, this thing is amazing. I have a question regarding profiling,how would I profile going through my Universial audio Apollo twin? I have done a test profile but couldnt work out how to run it through the AT to utilize plugins.

Thanks in advance

Welcome!

Do you want to profile amplifier plugins or use FX plugins while profiling a guitar amplifer?

The KPA was not designed to profile time-based FX (reverb, delay, chorus, flange, etc).

Thanks for your reply, no not FX just the pre amps. I have watched videos where people say they are going into a pre amp first. I'm only new to this.

Thanks

I've never even turned my profiler knob to profiling so I can't help you in what's the best way to profile etc

But welcome to the gang

Hi.

from the Profiling Guide pdf, page 16:
"Connections for Profiling a Computer-Based Guitar Amp Simulation

Connect your guitar to the INPUT of the Profiler.

Connect the DIRECT OUTPUT/SEND from the Profiler to the appropriate input on your computer’s audio interface.

Route the output of your guitar amp simulation software to a specific hardware output of your computer’s audio interface.

Connect this output to the RETURN INPUT of the Profiler.

✔ Be sure to disengage the noise-gate in your guitar amp simulation software before profiling it."

please make sure to tag these profiles properly, indicating that they are profiles of a amp sim, not of the amp itself.

thanks

Thanks for all your replies, I think I might have confused the question. I'm profiling a boogie mark 5 and connected it up as the manual States, I wondered if it was possible to send the mic through a pre before the kemper?
Also I experienced radio interference when amp is hooked up through the kemper, I saw another thread on the forum from someone who had the same issue and it was suggested to try a 3 pronged power cord, I will try that. Could there be something from with my kemper? The cables are fine, never had problems before.

Thanks guys

Welcome! Same as with Raoul, I got the KPA and never really got around to profiling my Mark V before selling it.

Hi Autumn!

I'm also a newbie to the Kemper, but hopefully I can help. What I would do is connect the mic(s) to your Apollo Twin's XLR inputs, insert the desired UAD plugins in one of (or however many) channels of the Apollo Twin's software mixer, and then route the Output of that channel(s) to the Line outs of the Apollo. Connect a cable from the Apollo's Line Out and plug it into the Return Input of the Profiler. That should do the trick.

Do you mean buzz/hum? Did you try toggling the ground lift switch for direct out on the Kemper?

Autumn · Dec 27th 2015

weird noise, not like high gain hiss, I fixed it with the ground lift however the radio interference came through instead. I read moving the Kemper away from the head which solved the problem, all good at this stage. Allways a bit nerve wracking when you buy new gear I find.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in with advice, this is a great friendly forum.

Is this by chance the spring reverb thread?
