  • FW 1.1 Release version - new Factory rigs (new amp as well)

    Hi I am thrilled you dig them!


    The K. Model is a Kay Model 703 1962:
    This is a profile I made of a vintage amp I used when I recorded with the late virtuoso blues harp player Jr. Wells.
    It has a perfect funky, dirty Chicago blues sound that the Kemper profiled exact!


    The Electro is a 1962 Danelectro Twin Twelve 300 I have and the profile is very true.
    Only difference is the original physically rattles when its cranked :)

    That Fuzz Face is tricky as it loves to see a very high input impedance. That is why it cleans up so well when you roll back your guitar volume control..
    Many guys even have trouble placing a wah in front of that fuzz.
    A buffer will work, but will change the sound. It might sound ok....
    Try any Boss pedal in bypass as its output is always buffered.


    I would try a passive transformer like an Ebtech to raise the impedance of the Kemper send to something the Fuzz can live with.
    You may have tried that already....
    Its a tricky one!

    Bill, any tips on profiling with a fuzz pedal? I have an Eric Johnson signature fuzz I want to profile into one of my vintage marshalls, but I can't get it to work correctly with the output from the kemper. Even tried a box that converts the impedance and that didn't help either. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I wanted to explain what my profiles are all about:
    Bill


    1. Surf's Up
    This is in response to people asking for a surf sound.
    Its a GREAT emulation of a "spring reverb" and when the gain is cranked it becomes total punk surf guitar!
    (If you get any clipping due a stronger pickup output just reduce the
    volume control on the right till the master led is in the green and save)


    2.Smashing Fuzz
    This is a PERFECT profile of a fuzz like that used by Billy Corgan of the "Smashing Pumpkins".


    3. Germanium Fuzz
    This is a profile of a contemporary big selling germanium fuzz pedal.
    Its sound is pure germanium!


    4. Studio 15 4/12
    This is a profile of an late 1980,s British amp I used on hundreds of sessions.
    Its a small combo that uses 6V6 output tubes.
    For this profile it is run through with a 4/12 cabinet.


    5. Drive-Thru Speaker
    Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if you could plug your
    guitar into the drive-thru speaker system at your local fast food
    hamburger restaurant?
    Tthis is it!
    Its a great for break downs in songs that totally Low-fi's your guitar sound.


    Kay Model 703 1962:
    This is a profile I made of a vintage amp I used when I recorded
    with the late virtuoso blues harp player Jr. Wells.
    It has a perfect dirty Chicago blues sound that the Kemper profiled exact!


    Marshall Studio 15:
    This is an small combo amp I used on hundreds of sessions.
    It uses 6V6 output tubes and dc voltage on the tube filaments to keep ac hum at a minimum.


    Fender Rhodes Piano and the Zeppelin Rhodes 2:
    These are profiles I created to emulate the sound of an electric piano using just a electric guitar.


    Kemper Banjo:
    This profile will transform your electric guitar into the sound of banjo!
    Its great for single lines as well as finger picked chords.

  • Kemper Mellotron Flutes

    Hi Chris,
    I sure can.
    Its a combo of attack, filtering, vibrato and noise that the old Mellotron had plenty of!
    Think about it, all those dirty tape heads mixed together with a limited bandwidth playing that perfect passage.
    The Beatles end result was so cool, I am STILL working to capture just a fraction of that sound 45 years latter!!!


    I always post my patches here, but this is one I am still working on.
    I posted the audio clip as a work in progress.
    As soon as I have time to prefect it I will place it on the exchange.

    Bill could you explain how you've got this sound? Very impressive stuff

  • Kemper Backwards Effect

    Kemper Backwards Effect-Backwards Jimi




    Here is an attack reversal effect I programed using the low pass filter in touch mode.
    It has the sound of a reversed recording with the ability to play it in in real time!
    The harder you pick the more the attack is reversed.
    Whats great is you tell it when and how much to reverse.
    I used a bridge humbucker.
    For weaker single coil pick ups you may need to lower the low pass filter manual control a tiny amount.


    It takes a little practice to get the feel of it, but when you do its BIG fun to play!


    The profile is up on the exchange and a sound sample is below.

  • The Kemper Banjo Effect

    The sound IS the profile including the speaker.
    Its not meant to have a speaker associated with it.
    I would NOT put a different cab with it or it will over brighten it ,and if played loud may feedback.


    If you going through and amp you will have to EQ for that.

    Quote from sorefingers

    I get a loud squealling sound out of my Kemper when I use this profile, especially with one of TillS Recti cabs. Kind of like a pig... :whistling:

  • unable to Profile: Peavey Ultra +

  • Kemper Fender Rhodes Electric Piano

    Thanks guys enjoy!
    Thanks to Christoph Kemper and the design team for the new effects.
    There is SO much more to be heard from this instrument.
    Christoph is genius so keep your seat belts on!


    Its a very exciting time for the profiling amp.

  • Kemper Fender Rhodes Electric Piano

    Kemper Fender Rhodes Electric Piano


    I just up loaded two profiles inspired by the Fender electric piano.
    The effects use a compressor to even out the attack and envelope filter to produce a dark tone with a hard attack when hit hard.
    A frequency shifter acts as a tremolo and a second frequency shifter adds the metallic bell overtones of the electric piano tone bars.
    Play with your fingers for the best keyboard sound.


    Below are two sound clip examples.
    1. A R/B Rhodes sound

    2. Led Zeppelin "No Quarter" sound
