Nevermind that the Kemper started off more as something to just be able to capture the sound of your amps and e.g. take them on tour or into the studio more easily - it's now both marketed and widely thought of not just as this, but also as a platform for 3rd party profiles - and again, the overwhelming majority of users use it in this way.
Ok, I've never saw it this way, but as I tried to write: I'm not everyone Of course I like to look for other profiles and have fun with them but in the end I am now settled with my own.
I can't see any harm in suggesting ways in which this user experience could be improved. If you interpreted this as a criticism of the capabilities of the Kemper itself, you have misunderstood.
No, of course. There is nothing wrong with that. That's what a forum is for: Discussion!
But I don't see a technical possibility to do this.
- Time-limited access? Pre-Record and just Re-Amp with the "trial-period".
- Audio-Preview? Most of the 3rd-party suppliers are doing something like this (and most of the time it sounds totaly different when I play those profiles...)
And last but not least: Back to the main topic:
I'm using a Ownhammer 412MarV30 IR (and the new Mesa 412 Rect Essential pack has some nice IRs too).
Profiles: my own (Marshall TSL 2000 and Silver Jubilee)
My 3rd party tips for boosted JCM800 sounds:
- PremierProfiles (paid)
- Mike Williams (Rig Exchange)
- Mago JCM 800 by Marco Cudan (Rig Exchange)
Maybe these are interesting for you
