Can I use custom IR's in a Kemper that I use in my Ax8?

Quote from WolfsLair

I have one key IR I use with all my pre sets. Curious if it can be used here too?

Sure. Just convert the IRs into cabs using cab maker and then use them with the amp portion of your profiles.

That is if you have it in 44k wav format.

Welcome

I mostly use Celestion IRs.. love them..

Mostly the Cabs that are a part of the original profile are the best match, even to swap these on other profiles. However, there can be an instance where an IR is just perfect for something.

I have lately been developing IRs that work just as well with the Kemper as cabs made with the profile but this is something that has been a challenge.

It’s a different dynamic from using other products, since every Kemper Studio or Merged Rig you load includes its own cabinet.

I think the majority of Kemper users do not change cabinets. If they don’t like the sound of a particular rig, they Edit it, or try another rig.

The users who do change cabinets either use the cabinet from a different studio profile, from a Merged Profile, or from a converted IR.

Obviously can't hurt to try.

But I'm in the same boat... AX8 owner and I have 1000's of Ownhammer IRs, a smattering of Celestions, and a handful of specialty IRs I've collected over the years.

The first & second time I owned a Kemper (DOH!) , I never changed a single IR. This time around, I'm going to experiment a bit more.

It is certainly worth a try - let us know how your converted Custom IR sounds when you add it to Direct Amplifier Rigs and/or use it to replace the cabs in Merged Rigs.

_{What cab/speaker/mic combination is your IR?}
