The bitrate should make no perceptible difference whatsoever, but the Space setting, yes.

The 96kHz option is simply the standard 44.1kHz output upsampled, the point being one of convenience when running one's DAW at 96kHz.

I A/B'ed the bitrates several times and to my ears they really made a difference. Not saying I might not have imagined it or played the guitar slightly different each time but I was sure enough to leave it on 99khz. Maybe it has to do with how my Focusrite receives the data, not sure.

I’ll check on that , thanks!

Remember that you can send SPACE through SPDIF as well. Just deactivate the „Space Headphone only“ option (yes, it‘s a double negative to activate Space for SPDIF). I used to have the same issue as you but with SPACE activated and the higher bit rate both the Kemper headphone out and my Focusrite sound the same now.

Change your SPDIF connection to 96khz and thank me later.

I didn't say anything about a laptop, i'm talking about a KPA non powered, vs a KPA powered version, and the extra heat from the power amp.

Just saying that an amps extra heat may be a problem in long term use is all. Just speculation.

You can turn the power amp off and only run it when using a cab. If you only use it that way it should be the same as an unpowered Kemper with no difference in heat development.

Other: Loud.

True, all the other options barely make a sound.

the Kone speakers which I didnt care for

How come?

Quote from Yam the Bomb

I’ve had a Kemper Kab, and FRFR cab and regular guitar cabs. At times I’ve liked them all. But currently I really like the Kemper through a Fryette Power Station and into a regular guitar cab.

What job does the Fryette do here? I guess you‘re not attenuating, so are you using it as a poweramp for an unpowered toaster?

Latest Mojave version on Mac PowerBook.

Surprised Mojave runs on a laptop that‘s at least 15 years old.

I used to have the Beyerdynamic-880 Pro but they just didn‘t work with the Kemper (I would have needed an external headphone amp to get them to open up). Sold them and spoke to Thomann where they suggested the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X for guitar. They just sound perfect to me. Quite a revelation after the Beyerdynamic.

Quote from Ruefus

Its probably me....but I just don't dig 'em.

I think the Kemper teaches you that the sound of an amp is often in the cabinet, not the amp itself. I wish I had known that earlier and focus on cabs instead of amps. I do believe amps are tools to make the speaker sing. (This video proves my point.) I love some of M Britt's profiles but don't care about his main cab, which means he often isn't for me either. I still think his 69 Marshall with greenbacks belongs to the top 5 profiles I've heard.

Tone Junkie uses the original cabs of his amps which I think is great. He has his own taste though and prefers his amps very bright. His settings aren't everyone's cup of tea and he often overloads his profiles with effects. But if you strip them down and change the EQ to your liking they can be exactly what you want.

That's the great thing about all these commercial profilers, they all offer something different.

Quote from paults

The majority of the Profiles in a new Profiler are not like typical "factory content" you would find in others products, They have been selected from Commercial Profiler sellers, who would normally require you to pay for them.

Exactly right. And they will give you a good idea which commercial sellers are worth investigating a little more. Be prepared spending hours checking out sounds (it‘s fun).

They are very usable but I personally deleted them all from my Kemper and only use a handful of commercial profiles now. But you should definitely check them all out, depending on your style they could be perfect.

ST That looks like a mighty fine system. If I understand correctly it's some sort of mini PA, correct? So it doesn't just simulate a PA but it is what you bring to your shows?

Besides going through a deafening PA and your 4x12 on stage, how do you mainly use your Kemper?

Quote from Aea

On the jtm45 vein, the new morgan mvp66 would be a nice addition...

Yes, I'd love that one too. KT66 sound. Would appreciate it especially with the Creambacks from the matching cab.

Quote from lonestargtr

I'm always looking for unique amps that I haven't profiled yet

Maybe not a unique choice but I would be thrilled to see you release a JTM45 profile with the Greenback cabinet that you used with your 69 Marshall. Or maybe with a 2x12 open back Greenback combo a la Bluesbreaker. Nobody nails the Marshall tone as good as you and that's the one still missing from your collection.

I didn't want to buy an entirely new cabinet but of course that could be an option, too. I just don't see myself playing any profiles that come from closed back cabs.

Quote from ckemper

What country do you live?

On every continent there are skillful cabinet makers that create such constructions to your liking. The trick is to use gaskets, when the cabinet is closed.

ckemper Norwegian countryside and far away from the next city. That's why I was thinking to go the DIY route.

Quote from Wheresthedug

The Kemper Kone isn’t suitable for close micing (which is the only viable sort of micing on stage) so you definitely don’t want to go down that route.

In that case I was talking about a normal guitar cab. If you connect your Kemper to a standard cab you should be able to mic it normally. The rule only applies for the Kone.

Quote from cmbrowns

A PA for any live show is probably going to be set up to be as flat sounding as possible for the audience point of view. So that's up to whoever is setting up and handling the FOH. So you could try setting your Kemper main outs also as flat as possible while creating your set of rigs.

I'm really a beginner when it comes to these things. Could you shortly explain what you mean by "flat"? How do I know an EQ is flat?
