....wow...finally a talent booster?

There is only one real talent booster: Dry signal. It will make you practice.

Wow, it may save a lot time and $ for bands renting a studio.

My idea before even owning this pedal (I will buy one as soon as they are available).

2 guitars thick and crisp tone, no pedal
100% L
100% R

2 guitars less gain less treble with the pedal on
80% L
80% R

Use the pedal to really fill up the mix but not define the tone. If I can do this with the Kemper someone please chime in. I'd love to try it.

Looks awesome.

this, for the singer... it could be interresting too....

first guitars, then bass & singers will need it.

looks very interesting but still the doubled signal goes in the same amp then same effects. the KPA could do better if it can be integrated

My guess is it would sound very different in a mono set up. Unless used with a stereo guitar rig and a stereo PA system, it might sound more like a chorus effect.

Anyone who uses a mono live rig: listens to it starting at 11:00.

Wow, thanks!

Just use the stereo delay of the Kemper. Feedback to 0%. Delay time of about 100ms. From 200ms on your doubled talent will sound like being drunk. Play with modulation to make it sound more real.

In mono it cannot sound convincing, like to guys playing through the same cabinet.

I am so desperatley needing that talent booster that this was one of the first things I dialed in.

what you describe is an interesting effect....but not the same as doubling a guitar..also not the same what this pedal does
also it sounds pretty phasey

Artifical double tracking by modulated delays was a good practice for decades in studios for the "lesser talented" .

Are you aware what that pedal otherwise does to do the magic? (Could well be I am not up to date and missed something)

Just listened carefully to the vid again. It sounds good. Currently booting up my Kemper, cause I already got it in there... now:

I used a legacy delay. I cannot control L/R as I wanted to, so the stereo image is not as wide, both guitar players are more in the center. I got a quite convincing AC/DC like sound, where both players do not exactly play the same thing. Bassy part is more left, I like it (and I already made listeners wonder about the second guitar). But on the desk if have way more control compared to the legacy delay.

I will fiddle with the Kemper and try to get it closer to the vid's sound. Phase inversion would be nice (Haas trick). Funny enough: when I am not in the center of the speakers it sounds very stereo extreme. At the proper listening position its as described above. Have to check it with headphones...

if simply delaying the signal would work the same...duplicating a track in the daw and slight delay would also work..but it does not

Yep, specially because the delay would be by a fixed amount, unless more "local" operations take place.

As far as i understand this pedal..it randomizes the extra layers. Not only delays them..also adds pitch variations and other stuff.
I think when you plug in your guitar in mono..and record both outputs separately, it will be really almost like 2 Di tracks

Thats why you need to take a modulated delay. With modulation I mean time modulation at first. And in the best case a random value within certain bands. The Kemper delay seems to do a frequency modulation, though. Add the (micro) pitch variations Deadlightstudio mentioned and some minor frequency modulation and you are very close to the auto double tracker plugins like the Antares Duo from the past. And most probably close to the stomp in question.

Some fixed time delays of about 25 to 60 ms (depending on the sound) are used to "thicken" a sound statically. With the ms parameter you can control the tone (by combfiltering). In the best case you offset your copies some percent to left and right off center.

After all, this is no witchcraft and one could easily re-build it in any modern DAW for free. However the FX routing and tuning possibilities of the Kemper are far from being enough for a re-build. BUT: it should be quite easy to setup such a stomp in a separate FX type and let us just control a couple of parameters like stereo center offset, strength, mix and such. That way it would still nicely fit into the excellent "over-easy" interface of the Kemper.

I'm confused...Isn't that what the "space" effect on the kemper does...more or less?

Isnt that more like mimic the amp in the room to prevent ear fatigue in headphones?

Sounds great - preordered

I'm not impressed. Seems he uses a Kemper.
But where is the coffee? That's my biggest question.
