jtwright · Jul 29th 2019

Well after months of deliberation and been blown away hearing my mates kemper I finak clicked the " buy it " option and it arrived today !!

After been a strong old school guitar player .. valves n cabs etc I feel I now have a large up hill learning curve ahead of me.. it took me 30 mins to work out how to put my name in the kemper ??

I also feel to get the tones I've heard on other kempers the pre installed free rigs are not the ones everyone uses ?

Also got a zilla FRLR cab on its way to still give me some old school feel

Any early days advice is always welcome from you knowledgeable people

Hi and welcome (from Lancashire).

There are great free profiles around however you can usually get tons of free commercial profiles as most offer a free pack to try before you buy. It can take a while to get the sounds your after and to your taste but I can guarantee you will get there and fairly quickly. If you’re prepared to put in a little effort upfront.

The fun is in finding the sounds and doing so helps you get inside the box of the kemper unit.

Check out the tips and tricks part of the forum on how to get great sounds out of even the free ones shipped with the unit..

Welcome, JT.

Check out the free Rig Packs in Rig Manager; they'll give you a good idea of what some of the better-known vendors are offering, and besides this, you may find everything you need right there. The Rigs in those collections aren't randomly-selected; Kemper puts some auditioning and thought into them.

Monkey_Man thank you , I was wondering about those , and if they were any different to the ones already pre loaded in the kemper unit , especially with me only getting the unit this week ?

Monkey_Man · Jul 30th 2019

No worries, JT.

If they were the same I wouldn't have suggested auditioning them 'cause you implied that you've already tried the pre-installed factory ones.

Also, to answer your original question, no, most folks end up using Rigs they find on the Rig Exchange or have bought. That said, there are some good ones in the factory set so it shouldn't be ignored; it's just a matter of taste, really.

FYI this set evolves as Rigs are added and dropped with newer FW releases, so as always, if you rely on any of them it's a good idea to back up to USB stick or Rig Manager. Rig Manager'd be easier in this case 'cause you could simply create a folder to which you drag your favourite factory Rigs in case any of them doesn't make it to a newer firmware release down-the-track.
