Thanks for the explanation Burkhard - it makes sense and I can see the useful nature of the feature. Looks like I just need to make myself some tweaked rigs just for the new reverbs as, really, it’s only an issue with those when you’re wanting to minimise or eliminate the dry guitar from the equation.

So my next question which you may be unwilling to answer due to it being a ‘future’

Will the new editor allow us to edit this parameter? And will we be able to do ‘batch editing’? I was just thinking that I have a lot of TJ profiles and it’d be great to do ‘new reverb compatible versions’ in a separate rig manager folder by highlighting all of the profiles and turning this parameter to zero on all of them. Batch editing would potentially be valuable to users who (for instance) want to put ‘their green scream stomp’ on every single profile in a particular folder. Hope this makes it into the program, either at release or at some point

Quote from Burkhard

My question would be, which type of effect is placed in the DLY module of those Rigs in question. Perhaps DLY+REV Routing just does, what it is supposed to do the way the author designed the Rig!? This picture is from the Main Manual and it shows, how the routing works in the range above 0%:

Thanks for the diagram - If I’m reading it correctly it means that if there is no active delay you will always get a percentage of the dry signal bypassing the reverb and going through to the output? It has helped my understanding of what the setting does - it means that some element of the guitar sound gets through untouched no matter what you do with the reverb / delay.

The fact that every TJ rig I’ve tried is at 58% (which is a legacy Kemper setting) would suggest that they perhaps didn’t realise it was a factor any more than I did before yesterday..... It’s an amazing coincidence if 58% is the intentional secret sauce on every preset they do I’ll have to look at which delays they are actually using...... I’m not sure. But in the profiles I’ve used, the delay hasn’t even been on.

Thank you for this Burkhard.

The difficulty seems that some commercial profilers have made literally hundreds of profiles whereby this previously hidden setting was set inappropriately.

If you are intending to normalise all factory content to 0%, can I ask why it isn’t instead removed or give the users the ability to lock it to zero? In other words, if it is no longer helpful (and it seems like it isn’t hence you setting it to zero in all cases) then why is it there? I have hundreds of purchased commercial profiles that are affected in this way as they’re all at 58%. If there is not a solution from factory, it either requires considerable time by individuals to re-save their own purchased profiles or it requires commercial vendors to realise the issue and take a view on providing updates for all their profiles with this normalised..... the ability to lock at zero would be a more elegant solution if possible?

My understanding is that this setting is burned in to a profile when it's made.

If you're using a 'regular' reverb at a low-ish mix then it's unlikely to break your heart. If you're using the new ones up at 100% mix, it means they don't work as expected.

I wonder why some profilers choose to go non-zero with this?

Mine goes to 58% with any Tone Junkie profiles. It means the reverb slot behaves a bit differently than expected and this is very noticeable with the new reverbs.

For years I used the reverbs in my DAW. Then I've been concentrating on the natural verbs that were added a few months ago which are excellent but I run them pretty low hence not seeing the issue before. Details in this thread V6 Reverbs Dry / Wet Mix

OK, so I've just found this thread

Delay + Rev Routing

And it's helped me to find the problem.

My DLY+REV routing was on 58%.

I've set my DLY+REV to 0% and now my reverb slot works with the new reverbs.

If I change to another profile using Rig Manager, my reverb slot stops working again simply because this DLY+REV routing goes to 58% again!!

Profiles in question are Tone Junkie. If I choose any of their profiles, this setting in RIG goes to 58% and the new reverbs don't work as expected. If I choose other commercial profiles I have or factory, there isn't an issue. Might explain why Digibob had the problem then it fixed itself

If you want to hear the exact issue I'm having and don't have any TJ profiles, simply go into your rig menu and crank that setting to 58%. You'll then see what I mean....

Suggestions on how to fix this appreciated please

OK, so I'm home and this is interesting!

If I put the reverb in the X slot, I get the wet / dry behaviour as I would expect it to be so it works absolutely perfectly. If I put the same reverb in the actual reverb slot, I get the issue. Here is exactly what I am doing:-

I am loading a commercial profile that I like which has regular reverb already enabled. I am then pressing the 'reverb' button on the Profiler and scrolling through to the new presets. I am selecting the 'Angel' preset which tells me that I am using the new Ionosphere reverb. I play. I hear a very clear 'dry' guitar signal and I hear the choir come in afterwards so the reverb is working / sounding impressive but the guitar is clearly audible as a guitar.

I go in to edit and notice that the mix is on 70% on this preset. When I increase past 100%, the display shows 100.0/90.6%

If I keep increasing, it finally reads 100% (wet).

At all points from 0% (dry) to 100% (wet) there is absolutely no difference in my dry guitar signal - the dry guitar itself is just as audible as it is when I am at 0% (dry). The mix knob ONLY affects the level of the choir and the choir is not there at all at 0% (dry) which is, of course, expected. What it should not be doing is allowing me to hear the guitar at all when it's 100% (wet).

I have checked the Parallel Path and it's off. I am running to SPDIF and have also checked by plugging my headphones directly into the Kemper - the behaviour is the same.

I am making no other changes to the preset apart from altering the mix.

Out of curiosity, I then put exactly the same reverb into the X slot and it works completely perfectly - at 100% wet, I cannot hear my guitar, only the choir.

Any ideas on what to do? I updated via rig manager and everything else appears to be working OK. Well, everything I use which isn't much as I'm a simple kind of guy (mostly just load a profile that makes me smile and go for it plus put on the occasional effect).

I believed Don was joking, Burkhard - I had no headphones plugged in. Apologies for any confusion..... I was sending a joke back I was actually going SPDIF out into my Focusrite interface as usual.

I’ll try it again tonight. Honestly, with my settings unchanged in years the mix settings didn’t do quite what I expected - I genuinely went ‘fully wet’ and still had guitar coming through. This is probably me missing something (I have no idea of parallel path is enabled as it’s not something I’ve looked at since it was released maybe 4 or 5 years ago) but I’ll report back.

I must have had headphone cables touching stuff too Don

I’m not at home now but, on my initial play through, I also couldn’t quite understand how the Mix worked. At 100% wet I still had some clean guitar signal in there. I had limited time so just figured I must be misunderstanding something / doing something wrong.

To my knowledge I don’t have parallel path on but will check - I tend to keep things simple. The reverb was the only effect in play and was in the dedicated reverb slot. All I was doing was going through the new presets to audition and l, when I’d done that, I started playing with a few parameters to see what they did. Mix wasn’t what I expected.

When I eventually get home I’ll play again but my Kemper seemed to behave the way Digibob’s did before his fixed itself

I've just been having a play..... the quality is excellent and they're very interesting. Not something for 'bread and butter' cover work but I can see these leading to some pretty cool experiments. I appreciate them being added - thank you

The schedule they mentioned at Winter NAMM was ‘summer’. So I guess technically that’s any time between 21st June and 21st September.

But the sun is shining here this morning.... in the U.K. that means it must be summer as it doesn’t do this very often

Also interested in the wording of ‘other features’ with V7 beyond these reverbs (here now) and preset management. Is this simply talking about the new rig manager / editor or is this going to be even more cool stuff??

Quote from Ingolf

FW 7.0 looks more mature than 6.0, doesn’t it?

it’s one louder

I enjoy P90s through Selah, Tonejunkie and MBritt. But I enjoy humbuckers and single coils through those guys too. I guess I like the sound of those profile makers and I like any pickups through them. :).

Whilst these profile makers do make ‘high gain’ profiles, more of their output seems to be in the lower / middle gain direction so I think they’re a good fit. Most P90’s (if they are traditional as opposed to hot) seem to occupy the space between singles and lower output humbuckers without really being either so they’re very cool. Having said that, I also like them pushing an amp profile that is falling apart..... They seem to sound really untidy which I like :). I don’t think they suit a ‘tight’ metal sound as well as some other pickups but that is probably me not having the chops to make a tight metal sound moreso than the pickups / profiles A speed metal player would probably make them sound awesome but, for me, they’re more ‘rough and ready’ than ‘focussed’. Again, says more about me than the pickups

About the only pedal I use in front is a home-made thing which has a vintage fuzz and Dallas Rangemaster in the same box so I can do either or stack them. I’m not bright enough to design pedals but I’ve enjoyed building quite a few over the years.

Yes, you missed seeing it demonstrated at Winter NAMM

At the time, the company said it would be released ‘in the Summer’ so, if that’s still on track, it means late June onwards. It looked really good at the time but since then there have been feedback threads on this forum so it’s possible that it may have evolved due to user feedback / other cool stuff that has occurred to them.

The Flare Audio plugs I mentioned earlier in the thread are currently on an offer of ‘buy one, get one free’. My eldest daughter tends to tell me to ‘turn it down’ (bit of a weird role reversal there) and, whilst she’s been to polite gigs before, she hasn’t yet experienced a crazy-loud show. I took advantage of the offer to get a pair for both kids so, should I take one of them along to something, I won’t have to worry.

Earlier in this thread GString stated Summer 19. It’s on the first page.

You can already do this in the current Rig Manager... There are three text/comments fields for every rig. Rig Comment, Amp Comment and Cabinet Comment...

really? Thank you - I’ll check it out

Wondering if anyone can point me to 'must have' bass profiles on the exchange? I've got the Kemper bass pack but would welcome thoughts on other good ones out there. The commercial vendors seem not to have 'gone there' for the most part unless I've missed something. Hope my request falls within the context of this thread but if not, apologies and feel free to remove

Many thanks

I know when I was gigging, stage volume was always a problem in terms of everyone is too loud. For us, we had a horn section (2 piece on most songs but on a couple, the keys player would get a trombone out too!). Those guys are bloody loud when you’re close and, to hear the guitar over them, it’d creep up. Then the keys would creep up. And then everyone just plays harder when the room gets going..... my ears used to ring too.

I bought some of these for gigs; yes, you certainly lose a bit of fidelity but they work. I’ve seen some really loud folks over the last year or two. I still really enjoyed the concerts and no ringing ears. Maybe overkill for stage but maybe not?
