could you get a rig from the RigExchange that is considered to be very good from a majority of users here, like the
Boogie MarkIIC+ (new) by Djemass for example,
disable the delay, record a few riffs with it, post it and let us know what exactly it is you don't like?

thank you.

like others said:
make sure the noise gate isn't set unreasonably high
and that the output eq is neutral

Will do! Thanks again for the help...

Cabs are on when I am running to the 828mk3 but off when I am running through my Orange PPC412HP.

As far as output settings... I have no clue what is "okay" and what is "not okay" at this point.

I honestly believe that may be where the issue is...

I am using an Guild S-100.

Yes sir you are wrong... I have a serial... I am not trolling I swear...

Just a guy that is having a bad experience with new equipment and reaching out to other users for a means of a know how to fix the issue...

I had my Axe FX II for like a month and then got a good sound.

I will try the Lasse profiles... If I cant get a good tone there... I will just return and revert back to the Axe FX II XL.

Never know unless you try?

I guess I am not understanding "preset intended for a mix" will not sound good live? My presets on the Axe FX II that sounded good in the mix sounded badass live?

This shit is weird...

Haha I know this is really sensitive... the vs Axe Fx debate....

I just want this to be as good if not better?

Does the Profiler react to different guitars, pickups or tone/volume changes like a real amp?
Yes. The profiles don't crush your tone, like so many other digital processors do, but bring out the sound of your fingers, pickups etc.

I want this thing to be awesome... but the Axe FX II is winning by a long shot right now...

because of tweakability...the ability to make ANY preset sound like YOU want it to.... if you can do this with the Kemper... How?

Axe FX II is so involved... via AxeEdit software... I dont see how the Kemper can release creativity to that extent?

This is entirely wrong.
You can tweak any Kemper rig to great extent.
OTOH there is a reason why there are still many different guitars existing.
You will never make a Strat sound like a LP, you will only approximate.
But this has nothing to do with the Axe or the profiler.

But the Kemper involves the wood, pickups, etc. more so than the Axe Fx II?

This is what I achieved with Axe II:

With a 1974 Guild S-100....

I have not tried the Lasse profiles. I will try them when I get home.

If I am running to my Orange PPC412HP when I am just playing in my room. (I have the powered Kemper)

And when I am running to my DAW. Kemper (S/Pdif) > Motu 828mk3 > Computer (monitoring with headphones from the 828mk3)

So where i could tweak the Axe FX II to sound good and versatile with one guitar? I would have to have multiple to achieve good sound and versatility with the Kemper?

Mr Marty,

How long have you had your Kemper?

I am trying to remain patient since so many swear by it... I have my cc# ready for the Axe FX II XL though... hahaha

Was my question about the guitars and pickups accurate?

Hello all,

I am a fairly new Kemper user... I have had it about a week and a half... I have tweaked and tweaked and tweaked... Updated and used different profiles...

I am not getting a tone as good as I was achieving with the Axe FX II.

Is it true that when a profile is taking of an amp...the user that is profiling the amp...does it take all the entities of the profile such as wood, pickups, etc. to make the new preset?

I use a Guild S-100... With the Axe FX II... I could have a SRV tone on one preset and the next I could sound exactly like Meshuggah?

So with the Kemper...Do I have to go out and buy all the guitars and pickups that would allow me to achieve that tone?

If true, this seems to defeat the point of the Kemper?

Here is me using the L'ENFANT preset off of Rig Exchange:
https://soundcloud.com/layne81/kempertest-mushy

This is ran S/Pdif from the Kemper to my Motu 828mk3 in Cubase 5.

Sounds nothing like Gojira.. hahaha... Sounds like my first amplifier which was a speaker and controls drilled to a 2x4. Haha!

Please help.

Thanks,
Layne
