Some good tone in that video, and it shows that the aliasing is largely masked depending on what you play, but there is a style of playing that can reveal it... and this isn't it. To me, really milking the notes in a high wailing lead is where it can reveal itself, not during straight riffing.

A few days ago, several people chimed in on this thread with some good ideas on having a switchable option that could direct more dsp to the amp profile—I hope Kemper took note of that.

There isn't a whole lot more to say about the aliasing that hasn't already been said, but this thread will not fade. We are kind of just waiting for Kemper to fix it, since they don't seem to want to chime in directly as to what they are planning.

I agree this style of playing tends to mask it, i notice it especially on higher single note leads with alot of gain , simple test use a high gain profile (gain like 75 percent) , turn on the tube screamer effect block in front of the amp block play the high e string at the 20th fret or 22nd , bend it , pick it again bend , pick it again bend , i hear it then ...

sounds good , what profile is that ? Id like to try it out

yeah i was wondering about the wierd sounds thing myself , not sure exactly why anyone would get a kemper for wierd sounds
I like Steve Lukather , Id rather hear that hes using it for some amp tones,
Why would he get a hi end amp profiler for wierd sounds? Why not just buy an effects processor?

Maybe its not the leds themselves but the ic or circuit that drives them , we wont really know unless CK can chime in with anything here..

I love that idea!!!

I would choose that over an add on power amp module since I use the kemper only for recording through a DAW and powered monitors

I'm for this option, even though I have never experienced any issues.

If some processing headroom is lost, how about using the empty space, in the rear of the KPA, for an effects processing daughter board add-on?

yes this is scary !!!

I have had mine only 3 months and no leds are out yet , but i am worried about long term
after reading this thread!

i vote to use the calculation power for less aliasing, its more important to me than features to just have a solid core amp tone,
I am surprised that the processor will be running out of headroom , for almost 2000 us dollars seems like a top of the line processor or even 2 could have been implemented. but if i had to choose i would choose less aliasing . The tone is awesome of the kemper and effects can be added after if we have to

hopefully there wont be a kemper 2 with a faster processor anytime soon though , ID hate to make this one obsolete and have to buy the newer faster one already .

sounds dead on!!!

Can you share profile?

Quote from DanielRigler

Great profiles JMAN, thanks for sharing them!
I just had some fun with the "sleepless" one:

http://snd.sc/PjAIuG

nice rythm tone you got there wow , I wasnt even trying for the in my dreams sound, , did you edit the sleepless night patch to get it there?

Sounds good real good !

the thing is its an issue that's not easily identified , I didn't hear it in the first couple weeks i had my kemper , i had to dig deep , and listening with headphones and then I wasn't sure if it was certain profiles or firmware or hardware etc.

Its most noticeable to me on really high notes with alot of gain when i first pick it and bend a little its like a ghost growling noise some alias frequency.

I think the kempers sound is awesome other than that wonder if this can be fixed by firmware , or if we will have to buy new hardware , imagine the kemper 2 faster processor etc , but yikes spend all that money again ..

just liek axe fx then they come out with axe 2 , etc

Hey Feck .

nice tones in that video !
If you ever want to share those profiles , Id like to try them out on my kemper . its a great unit

thanks

Im imagining in my head all the kemper untis a year or two from now , with only half the leds working , geez then in 3 or 4 see them on ebay with half the leds out

man i hope they fix this , such a great unit soundwise , but a silly flaw and what if leds blow in say 2 years after we buy it? are we all gonna send it back or just live with it.

yes it doesnt make sense unless they are using cheap ass led s which i would hope not for a 2000 unit!!!!

should get at least the mid grade leds.

Like i said before i have many old effects processors with lots of leds and none of them have ever gone bad ! not even one

normally led s shouldnt

Quote from BryanAspey

Hey guys, thanks a lot!

speight1031 - that was a Casino (Hollow body w/ P90s) into one of Andy's excellent 59 Bassman profiles from the AmpFactory

JHERCULEES1 - that was a profile I made with my ADA MP1 earlier on. It was wiped out during a purge session, but after listening back, I may have to try to unearth it from one of my backups and share it here.

Nice , I miss the old ada sounds, I hear skid row actually used the ada mp 1 on that album

Quote from donbarzini

the kemper units purchased form el jefe don't exhibit these artifacts

hmmm interesting .. how is that possible?

many amp manufacturers already have audio samples of their amps on their websites so that means they are using a specific mic and recording chain to show what they think is the best sound , they could just profile that setup .

very nice loving the skid row stuff , killer tone , what profile did you use for it ?

gonna listen to the other tracks now

man i would love to see some great profiles of any of the mark ii series they were awesome amps !

Quote from Against-it

Some will probably crucify me now, but I like the idea of trading profiles for free (it is legal btw).
Many people are offering profiles of their beloved amps for free in a very good and professional quality.
It is a nice gesture to share something for free in these times of "turbo capitalism".
Also this free sharing of profiles is an important part that makes the Kemper Amp so special AND successful (of course there are other major things involved for the success)

If I had to buy profiles then I would probably pay the original Manufacturers of the Amps, if they would offer pro profiles !
I would be fine with it, cause they made the amps.

Although some of the profiles of the Amp Factory are not bad, I think they are not the best. Talking about the free available profiles.
I am sure they offer some good profiles, but
the best profiles I have found so far were all free (!)

I don't own many amps, but as soon as I get the chance I'll offer different profiles of my lovely old Fender Pro Reverb (with the master push/pull)...for free of course!

Anyway, thanks again for your help!
Much appreciated!

I agree! I think it would great if amp manufacturers offered profiles for sale of thier amps that way they make money and we get it straight from the source!

I am thinking that amp manufacturers might approach it this way , they buy a kemper profile thier own amps and do it really well ,then sell those profiles .
