    Quick check of moving between neck and bridge pickups while tuning.


    I believe on the Kemper tuner, the neck pickup was more steady while tuning while the bridge had more noise to it making it easier to tune on the neck pickup.

    Again it's not the pickup per se, but the location of the pickup. String vibration have a higher amplitude at that location, meaning it's "louder" and "heard" better by plugged-in tuners. Just my experience.

    I use the following simple method, and it has worked for me.

    • I use the neck pickup to get the most string amplitude
    • Turn my tone control to 5-7. Most tuners seem to work best at this frequency range
    • I tune up to the note; so if a string is sharp, I make it flat first, then tune up
    • I use my thumb (or other fingers) to pluck the string

    If the EQ is flat and you're not using an Imprint, are you using a direct profile - something with no cab loaded? No cab would generally sound pretty bad through a full range speaker.


    No good reason a regular studio profile should sound all that bad through a PA type system like your Bose. The KAB should just give you a bit more AITR quality. Are you saying the Bose sounds bad on all profiles?


    Hard to guess what "harsh" means in your description. You might try posting a recording and someone doing similar might have some suggestions.

    No, I'm using a JTM 45 profile WITH the cab loaded - at least I don't have "* Cab Off" button pushed anywhere. The gain is around 4.


    By "harsh" I mean it sounds like the treble is saturated, and the mid and bass are lacking. I can turn down the treble on the mixer, and make it sound better.


    But 2 posts above, I mentioned I tried my Mains, and they sounded more like my Kab.

    I just now tried sending my Main outputs (set up as Master Mono, and flat EQ on the Kemper) to my Bose L1 via a mixer with flat EQs, and it resembles more what I hear out of the Kemper Kabinet, which is what I'd expect since the Bose is a powered FRFR. I made extra sure there's no extra coloring on the Kemper side - like I said, flat EQ, Output Filter no Low Cut or High Cut, etc.


    So there has to be a difference between my Monitor out signal vs. my Main out signal.

    Are you using the monitor output EQ to further adjust the Kemper Kone, and that's what's causing the harsh sound in the Bose?

    If so, does changing the cab in your profile make any difference? Since the Kone idea is to replace the Rig cabinet with an Imprint maybe using another cab that works well with the Bose would work, while leaving your Imprint for the Kone.


    If still no good, can you use the Main outputs with their own EQ for the Bose? If you also had to send Main out to another PA, they should probably be OK with the same EQ.

    No. My monitor output EQs are completely flat. I'll try the Main outputs next so I can EQ it separately.

    I have a Kemper Profiler Powerhead + Kabinet setup. In the Output menu, I enable the Kemper Klone setting and of course use cabinet simulation. So far I like the sound.


    Yesterday I simultaneously hooked up the Monitor Out jack (set up as Master Mono in the Output menu) to an external mixer EQ'd flat, which then goes to my Bose L1 Compact PA, and it sounded terrible, really harsh.


    Can I EQ the Monitor Out and Speaker Out jacks separately on the Kemper, so I only ffect the Monitor Out and not the Speaker Out? If so how? Sure I know I can EQ on the external mixer, that that's beside the point.


    TIA

    Ok thanks cmbrowns . Where is it shipped from? It has Euros for the price, so I'm afraid it'll get snagged in international mail. US mail is bad enough!


    UPDATE: NVM, I looked at the site, and it can take 1-3 weeks at best, and 4-6 weeks at worst. Still hesitant on international shipping.

    Wow this is encouraging.


    I'm late into the Kemper Profiler/FCB1010 game, having only bought a (used) Kemper Profiler Powerhead 2 days ago. I can't bring myself to spending another $500 for the foot controller, so I'm looking into the FCB1010, with (preferred for 2-way comms) or without a mod chip, and MIDI in/out. Will I be able to do ALL of this for performances (hint, Performance mode)?

    • Program performances, with multiple rigs per performance
    • Program effects on/off control, at least boost, chorus, delay, reverb, so pushing a button enables the effect, and pushing it again disables it
    • Cycle through each performance with a simple up/down button
    • Select a rig to play, and simultaneously de-select a previously selected rig in a performance, e.g., selecting a "Verse" rig will de-select the "Intro" rig



    Thanks!
