  • Mix Value to Accoustic Simulator

    my experience with the acoustic sim is exactly what described just now.

    I have a JP6 with piezo and trying the piezo signal in the rig , it generates a big mess of hiss if the amp stack ( especially the cab block!) is not shut down.

    Same impact with the acoustic simulation put in a normal rig chain whatever signal you want to simulate.


    Best results i achieve are the blending with parallel signal ( as described by Wheresthedug), putting the AS in block A , B with reverb or a smooth chorus, then the rest of the chain with a pristine clean amp sound

  • What are your favourite rigs by Commercial Profilers?

    Quote from raucous

    The preview videos lead me to believe this pack slants toward modern harder/heavier distortion and clean profiles for higher output pickups. Does the spectrum of tones extend beyond this?

    I had some chats with the choptones guys ( you can ask them for details), they promptly answered my questions. They will definitely answer the quetsion too. I use the pack with a JP6 guitar too , i have no references with other pickups.
    If you need the full spectrum of all possible settings and tones they suggest to go with the "full studio" pack ( more the 100 profiles).

  • Tutorials / Workshop on EQ in Kemper

    Dear kemper-friends,


    after my first 2 1/2 Months with the Kemper i feel that the EQ versions (i mean the EQ effect stomp) has a massive role in the quality shaping of the rig.


    Are there tutorials / workshop videos regarding how to enhance and optimize the rigs with the EQ options and how it exactly works?


    In term of "presets" the EQ has only a couple of them , hence there is not the big "choice per default" to seek for some references.


    If tutorials/workshops videos are there, please can you please indicate where to find?

    If not, can maybe Kemper do a great tutorial video on the EQ with some professional users?

    Thanks in advance!

  • What's your favorite free IR pack? (+my favorite free IR pack)

    Quote from SeanChristopher

    If you're looking for some great free IR packs Check out Seacow Cab Impulses at https://seacowcabs.wordpress.com. There are literally dozens of free Impulse Response packs of a bunch of different Cabs and they're all free! I was able to find a lot of really great ones from that website. Another great free IR pack can be found if you search Zeta IR Pack on YouTube and click the first video that comes up that was posted by Frederico Ascari.


    Hope those help :)

    Which sample rate is the Zeta IR Pack using?

    I haven´t found any info . Thank you!

  • Technical factors for buying the ideal headphones for Kemper

    Dear users,

    i don´t know if the topic has been already discussed (in this case please send the topic ID here as reply).


    The Kemper has a headphone output with 33 Ohm impedance.

    1- is a headphone with 80 or 250 Ohm a problem with the kemper ? Problem means: do i cope with a very low level in the headphones? Do the kemper push at least volume at higher level? Do i need a headphone amp?

    Whoever uses headphones with such levels of impedance, well, thanks in advance for your feedback!


    2- based on your experience, is a closed-headphone or an open headphone layout more effective ?

    Cheers and have a nice weekend!

  • As for the cabinet which ones are recommended besides yours, besides the kemper cabinet?

    the first time with kemper i tried it with a bogner 2x12 with V30 and it was impressive.


    Then i had a 4x12 1960 with G12_T75. hmmm, no, definitely not the level of juicyness and beefy response of the V30 even with the kemper.


    At the end i built my own 4x12 with 4 kones. And that was the best choice ( for me and my ears).


    Parallely i run it in studio over 2 x Presonus Eris E5 XT as studio monitors. It is "ok", not FRFR but for studio monitors + kemper , the solution is acceptable. Alternative: some 8 inches FRFR coax monitors. Redsound ELIS are at the moment the best i have got as "hidden suggestion".

  • Kone & Kabinet Q&A

    Hi Jenfi,

    i have my 4x12 DIY Kemper Kone "bigbeast" from a MDF case. Due to the fact that the kone is a speaker simulation and not a "cab simulation", the best way is to have a stiffer/heavier box setup. Go for a stiff MDF case, if you want to build your own DIY-case., you will avoid/mild the possible resonance "colour" of the structure itself

  • Cabinet simulator (MIKKO)

    Quote from Wheresthedug

    I actually downloaded Mikko after our previous discussion. I still haven’t tried yet it but it looks like it only offers the mic position flexibility etc if you are using their own proprietary IRs even though these can then be exported for use in other systems such as Kemper. Is that correct?


    I’m all for flexibility and allowing people to make their own decisions but for me personally this all seems like too much hassle when the in built cabs sound so good already. Not saying others should use it just that I can’t be bothered with the hassle ?

    If torpedo / WOS would allow the same function as Mikko, i think we wouldn´t still write this topic :)

    yes, it seems that using their IR products, you have the files in the format / device you need.


    Regarding the cab sound, you are absolutely right. There is however a group of musicians who are audiophile-addicted. I am one of them and i have no fear and regret to say. And the KPA is a tool who satisfies the audiophile musicians too.

    Coming back to the Mikko, it is a potential valid tool, but i don´t see so many cab/speakers choices compared to the torpedos. For the price of a Mikko pack i know a couple of valid professional hifi IRs vendor with a huge choice of cabs, mics and speakers options.

    Quote from DonPetersen

    why would you use a IR mixer to create Merged Profiles?

    Hi Don, a merged profile is IMHO the best pairing workflow in KPA.

    In order to create a similar philosophy ( i not the same technique..) just the torpedo / two notes blends the impact of 2 microphones or just having f.e. a "wished box" in which you can mount 2 different speakers families. In this way i match (logically for my best of acoustic impact) the best amp profile with the for-me-best-of IR/cab configuration.


    I make it simple and simplicity: if i could extract the for-my-ears best Wav. file from the wall of sound / torpedo products and then convert with the cab manager in my KPA and feed with it the KPA, i would go for it. This is not possible because torpedo doesn´t allow it. Hence Mikko would be a good option for this.

    HI Alan,

    as you see, another User trying to enhance the kemper through an external IR optimiser/IR mixer ....it reminds to the enhancements discussion started by me some days ago :)

    High time to let the cab maker in KPA to work as the device here :) or to use such a potential joint venture :)

    Cheers, Enzo

    Wow! Great suggestion regarding the Palmer Macht.
    This is now one of my options.


    By the way, have I said how great these Kemper Forums are?

    the macht is rack, i discovered some minutes ago that SD has a "powerstage 700" which is stereo too, but not rack.

    Here in germany the SD 700 is more than twice more expensive than the palmer.

    I miss a comparison about the two devices indeed.
