Many people know I've been rocking the Profiler for 8 years now, and before several other modelers.

And many people know that I've been proposing "doing the paradigm shift" from guitar speakers to so-called FRFR speakers all along.

Well, time moves on and I've changed.

I have played (and owned) many FRFR solutions, from highend expensive (Atomic CLR) to mid priced (Yamaha DXR 10, Ritter Amp Camper plus speaker kit) to more budget solutions (EV ZLX 12P, Headrush FRFR 108).

I always managed to have a good, sometimes great sound. I enjoyed the consistency having a wedge in front of me when playing live.

But the WOW factor, the thing thing that Germans call "GEIL", I was only able to get when playing over my beloved Greenback or Vintage 30 cabs.

I have thought about this for a long time and it took some time, actually 8 years, to admit this to myself.
But with the arrival of the new year I made this resolution for myself that I don’t want to compromise any more.

Long story short: I sold all my remaining FRFR cabs and play my guitar cabs.

And coincidentally this happens at the same time when Kemper come to the same conclusion and the Kabinet is about to arrive.

I feel very confident about my move.

So far I've had pretty good results using FRFR( QSCK10 and Mackie), but like you are saying it would be great to have a guitar cab on stage again. I have an un-powered rack unit so I need to find a power amp to run a traditional cab. Anyone have 1U power amp suggestions other than Matrix power amps?

Wish the powered version of the new Kemper cab was available. I'd probably just pull the trigger on that and not look back.

Thanks everyone! Will try the Browse knob this weekend and hopefully that solves the issue. I hate the holidays, seems like every time I think I have free time to dive into this unit lately, life takes over and puts all my Kemper fun on the back burner.

Having some issues choosing effects on the fly using my Kemper rack unit and I'm hoping its something simple that I'm missing. At rehearsal I decide to scroll thru the effects list using the front panel on the unit to find an octave effect to use, no big deal right? I can see a few choices to use, but I can never seem to navigate all the way to the right of the screen to actually select the preset I want to use. Somehow I can only scroll back and forth thru the effect categories, delays reverb etc., but not actually select an effect. Can someone explain, or point me in the direction of a tutorial that will show me how to actually select a preset using the front panel and buttons on the unit? Thanks in advance!

MBritt has a profile of the Diaz 100 that Warren Uses, Warren also uses a Soldano SLO 100, and a Klon pedal. Id start there

Thanks!

Has anyone had any luck with autowah/envelope filter settings in the Kemper that come close to John Mayers version of Fire on the Moutain or Rosie? If so, would you be willing to share those settings?

Currently on the fence on whether or not to get a Qtron and call it a day, or get a dunlop dvp3 and hope I can get close with the Kemper.

Looking for profile recommendations that are in the territory of Warren Haynes and Joe Bonamassa. Any suggestions/links are greatly appreciated!

Thank you Carlo!

I ordered a 1ft extension cable, it's ok and will work for a while. But what about something like this?

And a pass thru?

Thanks fellas!

Dialing in a few things in hopes of using the Kemper Rack at a gig in a week or so. I think I have successfully separated the master out and monitor outs so I can control my stage volume without changing the feed to FOH. My question is does it matter if the Master out is stereo or mono? I'm not sure I need to run a left and right out to FOH or just one channel. I don't think any performances are setup in stereo...

Currently I have a 6U SKB case that houses my Kemper rack unit. Thinking about adding a 2U drawer for cables and stuff, and also considering a 1U Furman for power and hopefully keep the Kemper from getting damaged from power spikes etc. I have no idea what Furman unit would be best, any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Good luck!! I still have an AA3 that I keep for a backup in case anything goes down.

Congrats on your new acquisition! Can't wait to hear the profiles!

Welcome to the club!!

Thanks!

Got my Kemper rack last week and finally getting around to working with it today. When it loads up it says it has system 5.7.7 Can I directly upgrade to the latest OS? Or do I need to download multiple files and upgrade the OS incrementally?

Also, which version of Rig Manager should I use?

Thanks in advance!

Rackmount Kemper and remote arrived yesterday. Gonna have to wait till the weekend to fire her up and see whats under the hood.
