I am selling the Kemper Head Non Powered Version, in mint condition. It breaks my heart, but I have to let this baby go. It's an amazing piece of gear, but right now I'm not using it as much, and I don't have much time for playing anymore. I would rather sell it to someone who would use it more frequently.

Almost as NEW condition. Never been gigged, it was played only a few months in my home studio.

It has the original booklet and the plastic cover on the screen.

It will be packed carefully with plenty of bubble wrap and protection material.

I have included my whole collection of commercial profiles, I payed for all of this approximately 549 euro. I am transferring all the commercial kemper packs with your purchase, free of charge.

Delivery will be done via courier, door to door. Europe transit time: max 6-7 days.

Hi guys

I'm into Mark Knopfler sound, and looking to replicate how his volume pedal behaves.

Ingo Raven from mk-guitar.com has done some research on the matter

Do you think it would be possible to connect a modern expression pedal to Kemper and make it behave like the graph here?

(see. the yellow curve where it says 1986 poti )

Thanks for your input!

I don't see the profile on your website

I'm linking to this track that I found on youtube, it's a compilation of Motorcycle Riding Rock Music. It's one of the best guitar riffs that I heard so far.

Does anyone recognizes any track or artist from this playlist? the uploader hasn't made public any info about the playlist. I would appreciate if someone could come up with a clue or something. thanks!

Hi Guys

Can someone recognize what amp is used for this guitar tone?

It's a 40second clip, the guitar tone can be heard in the mix, and at the end also alone.

I've searched through all my collection of profiles, and none of the amps/profiles came close to my ears.

Thanks for your input!

thanks for sharing this. rock guitar heaven indeed
and here's another impressive guitar intro from the same concert

Here you can also see that Neal uses the kemper ( it appears around minute 3:20 )

I think this masterclass can totally change the way you play music, and you don't have to be a jazz pianist to understand it, as it relates to everyone.

I think Mateo is reffering to switching cab simulation off on the fender mustang not on KPA.

always on at 8.8

sweetspotprofiles has some tonematched Muse profiles. but I see his site is in maintenance mode right now.

it would be an interesting experience for you to try these recorded samples on different monitoring setups.

Here's What I did:
I was hearing the same fizziness on my studio monitors with almost all the profiles.( free or commercial)

I took some rigs that I knew for sure were excelent ( they were voted the best by the users on this forum) and I recorded some samples.

I had also gathered a couple of raw guitar sounds , recorded as samples by different commercial profilers( m britt, TAF, top jimi, etc)

I've put all these sound demos on my ipad, took my focusrire itrack dock ( this thing has monitor out) and I went to a music store and tried different monitoring setups.

In this way, you get to decide what sounds good and what not for you.

If no monitoring setup sounds good, you can try the KPA with a poweramp and a guitar cab. this setup would remove the digital artifacts you are hearing now.

Cederick, before buying the KPA, did you only use tube amps and guitar cabs? if this is true, this would explain why your ears are still not accustomed hearing the mic'ed guitar sound.

I hear the same thing on my unit, only with headphones. no solution yet.

This is the same question that I had when I first started using the Kemper. basically you're trying to get the "amp in the room' sound with FRFR. while others managed to get the feel of a guitar cab with CLRs and other FR cabs I couldn't do it. so I had to re-learn how to listen to a mic'ed guitar.
for me, the best way is to demo a rig in a musical context. If a certain rig doesn't offer you the sparkle by itself, try playing the same rig with a backing track and maybe record yourself.
sometimes you demo a rig and it sounds bad, but if you record yourself and get back to it later( several days or even weeks) it will sound totally different, maybe you even start to like it.

wicked tones

I'm bringing up this old post,because Sarky's profiles are worth a try, on pair with commercial ones.
Just do a search for "sarky" on rigexchange, and you'll see 3 profiles, all of them are outstanding, and cut the mix nicely. Nice job Sarky

sounds sweet to my ears.
Can you please tell what satriani backing track did you use?

Did you tweak the patch in any way? It sounds really good

It sounds fantastic, good job

I'm using JamUp Pro for recording on my IPad.

What recording interface/DAW would you recommend? thanks!

I've looked into Line6 Sonic Port, ApogeeJam, Irig Pro before buying my kemper. As far as I understand these Ipad interfaces are to be used with clean signal coming from your guitar, and then using an app like amplitube or Bias/JamUp Pro.

Has anyone tried to record with the kemper on the ipad using an interface like ApogeeJam, Irig Pro?
Isn't the level too loud(especially if you're using a distorsion from kemper) ? Doesn't it clip?

Thanks for your feedback.
