About 300, of which gets used maybe 15. The rest are "just in case I need this for something".

Same here.

Quote from Locrain

This cannot be overstated. I was playing some high-end, expensive, professional level profiles yesterday, and they sounded amaaaazing...until I put in a mix and it had to compete with the drums and bass, it was a flub-fest.
Rule of thumb...if you're really digging the sound of your guitar by itself, please record a DI track as well, you're going to want to re-amp, cause you are probably about to ruin your mix with that tone that sounds "good".

I always record DI too. I can use som favprofiles that makes me play my best because they're awsome and I know they won't cut it in a mix so when finished, I just hit reamp. Best of two worlds.

Quote from waraba

Yep , pickup type, height , outup level and so on are a critical factor for getting a good tone out of any amp.

It's the same for a KPA, that's why it's important to profile on a given set of guitars and describe components in your signal chain.

I even had very different results from two similar Les Paul with HB.

The height is one big reason why it sucks for so many. Too many want height to be as low as possible. Well yeah if your'e a light picker it will probably work fine.Too light string gauge is another one. If you are heavy picker you will need thicker strings and higher string action and the guitar will be in tune better. If you don't like any profiles? Time to change pickups.

If you record and mix your songs, don't dismiss profiles you like less. They may be the right one's in the mix and not the one's you like best in solo. Chances are the profiles you like best in solo won't sound good in the mix.

Even if Kemper 2 was released today I wouldn't care. I'm happy as it is.

Quote from CelticGibson

I hope there won't be a Kemper 2 for a long while. I just purchased mine.

This is Kemper and not Fractal Audio so don't worry

Yes. Now I'm going to sound a bit harsh, which I don't like, but have you even bothered to read the manual?

Quote from Monkey_Man

... and there I thought sardines and apples were different-enough to drive the point home, but you guys managed to tie them together.

Geez. Creative types.

The point cannot be overemphasised 'though. It's no different from when folks ask that we be able to Profile synthesisers. One can no more send the Space Wars™ signal through a conventional synthesiser to capture its soul than one can in the case of a .WAV file.

Dev's claim they have emulated vintage synths 100% and the reality is no. Most have never owned them so they believe it's true and those that own or have owned those synths know it's not true. I've never been that guy that wanted to have the exact same sound as someone else. I always wanted to go my own way. Both in life in general and musically- I mean who wants to walk in someone elses shoes?

Well I believe there are more here but like me playing right handed. There were almost no left handed guitars in music shops when I started to play and if, they costed at least 1000$. That's like 2000$ today. Too much for a teenager 34 years ago.

Quote from Wheresthedug

I like sardines.

Just saying.

I hate sardines and I can't eat apples

Quote from Karl

Interesting.
I don't have this problem with my Edge Pro equipped Jem 555 or my PRS Torero. Were there any particular strings that were giving you trouble?

Do you mean the treble or bass strings? I can tell you all of them slipped out. The bass strings first and then the treble strings in about 30 minutes. I tried like 6-7 times and with the same result.

Quote from Cederick

Thats how I set up my guitars

I'm obsessed about the nut being so low the strings almost touches the 1st fret

For me thats more of a concern than the action at 12th fret

Doesn't matter how low the 12th fret is, if the nut action is higher than "almost touching" I'm not gonna enjoy the guitar to it's fullest

Of course this has led me to sometimes overdo my nut filing and get a buzz and have to either replace the nut or do the "superglue and bicarbonate" trick to raise it.

I second that. The nut should be as low as it can be. Nuts on new guitars are almost always too high. I remember i started a thread about that and some didn't understand why even thou I explained why.

Quote from szykman

This one really reminds me my new guitar (except for your killer top) that i just received yesterday
Mine is a Peruzzo JFB

it is an one piece of wood to build body and neck together

here we call "integrated construction"

has Seymour Duncan's Blackouts pickups

ebony scale and it is gorgeous, very cool of playing, very modern neck,

i have other guitars and a couple with a low string action this one is very low too but in the others strings are almost glued to the neck and has no buzz at all, the lowest guitar i have has indeed a Fret as Nut...

i think the secret for this low action is in fact to sand the neck and the frets too... your frets will have a short life time... but it is insane fast to play with then... i will show you next time...

Your sure it's not pleked?

The kemper is already a studio tool. If you want very similar profiles you can simply ask some profilers to make them for you. Why you love someones guitar tone isn't just so much because the guitar tone in itself. It sounds great because of the rest of the bands instruments and performance and the how it was mixed together.

I picked up the guitar 84. It was metal that made me wanted to play guitar. No one in the family did play anything so it was just my owen decision. A seller in a music shop sold a crap guitar to me he wanted to get rid of. So easy to fool a young teenager with his first couple of months saved salary.

Quote from Nikos

A friend of mine who is a very good producer in Germany once said something very true about Vivian Campbell..that he is was of the "biggest influence"-players for his generation without to get any credits for this..not back then and not later..this is very true imo.I mean he was never the shred guy like all the others back then but the way he did all these melodic stuff and his phrasing/tone indeed influenced all guitar players back then who asked themselves how to implement "melodies" within this endless Hardrock/metal shred of the 80s.

Indeed Viv is a killer guitar player.He still is.

His riffs and solos on Holy Diver is still one of my favorites. Damn so good.

Well I can only speak for myself and I must say it depends on the profile which ones that will work or not. But most of the time I use the cabs in the studio profiles.

Well I learned my lesson. Never again will I try Elixir strings on my Ibanez floating trem. They just slipped out the whole time

More and more bands choose Kemper instead of a real amp. Time changes so I'm not suprised Deff Leppard choose something else than a real amp.Anyway Adrenalize was a big disappointment and was the beginning of the downfall and I stopped being a fan. Bands shouldn't have a too long lifespan.

Can't remember I've seen it either.
