I just looked it up. I purchased and ordered it from Guitar Center online on February 1, 2016. That would have been 8 months ago, but still it seems like it would have been up to date.

Oh well, all's well that ends well. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Lets just say that

1. Musicians Friend, owned by same folks as GC has sold old stock and refurbished as new on multiple occasions.
2. MF has often been a collation point for GC's unsold stock.
3. Guitar Center has been having MAJOR financial issues over the last year or 2.

So, them selling old stock or returned as new, is not so farfetched.

But as mentioned, your all upgraded now, and as long as you have a warranty, bing bango your cookin.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you very much for the fast feedback. I am glad that there are such knowledgeable folks on here to help lead the way. At the risk of being obnoxious I just want to make sure I've got it right. I took a picture of the back of the unit and uploaded here.

So, like Andy_T-V said it doesn't seem like I have a red socket. So, which of the outputs in the Main Output, top right, (L/R XLR and L/R 1/4 Inch) are powered. And, if its powered by the built in power amp does that mean I should NOT use these outputs to a powered speaker or the FOH board?

Don't mind the XLR cable I plugged into the back when the picture was taken. I didn't plug the other end into anything yet, was just checking to see the clearance that I had in the shallow rack.

Thanks again for helping me to get this straight. It seems more complicated to me than it probably really is.

What's in the upper right, that isn't on the picture. On a power rack, that is where the powered output is a la

Will try them tonight

From the Deeper View and Reference manual

Amp Volume
"
Volume
This parameter can be used to balance volume gaps between different Profiles. The Rig "Crunch", which is default in all Slots in Performance Mode, could be used as a volume reference.
"

The amp front Volume is for overall loudness.

that sucks dude, that you have to send it back.

monkey man you could have the same profile in multiple folders.

Yea it looks like the main screen isn't fully seated in the slot (i.e. some part of the side is behind the front panel) and your getting bleed-over light behind the front facia.

I'm curious as well. For me the Kemper is new.

I'm curious how to hook it up and use both the band in a box and the Trio + looper to lay down rhythm WITH the kemper profile tone.

My buddy wanted to push his head, so the volume in the room in some cases was fairly high

I'm no expert either. But the above statement makes me think perhaps you had some input level clipping.

Quote from StudioZ

I just upgraded my studio computer to Windows 10. Everything else works fine with it. The Kemper itself works fine with it, but the Rig Manager doesn't. The Kemper was purchased a few months ago, but I have the latest updates. I re-uploaded them all again last night.

I'm confused. How does the Kemper itself work fine with your computer?

Quote from Webb

No, the Kemper should be on.

I didn't see you mention this anywhere, but what OS version of the Kemper are you running? The latest Rig Manager requires Kemper OS version 4 or higher. Maybe you're on an older version of the KPA firmware and that's the reason RM does not recognize that the Kemper is connected. Can you confirm?

Great point.

Quote from paults

OK:

Studio Profile: The entire signal chain. Amp, cabinet/microphone, The separation between amplifier and cabinet/microphone is calculated by the KPA. Turning off the Profile cabinet/changing Profile cabinets works very well, and has since the KPA was introduced.

Direct Preamp Profile: JUST a preamp. Could be the line out of an amplifier, or the line out of a preamp.

Direct Amplifier Profiler. JUST the amplifier (preamp and poweramp) - no cabinet/microphone is included. The effect of the speaker load on this type of Profile is really only accurate to the way an amplifier responds to a cabinet load when using a Direct Box between the amplifier output and a connected speaker cabinet. A "load box" is not recommended for this type of Profile, because a load box has a fixed response - a speaker cabinet does not.

Merged Profile: A Studio Profile and Direct Amplifier Profile of the exact same amp/cabinet/microphone/microphone position are combined to create a Profile with ideal separation between the Direct Amplifier Profile and the speaker/microphone component of the Studio Profile. This type of Profile is ideal for sending Amp/speaker/mic to the Mains, and just the Amplifier section of the Profile through a linear poweramp to a guitar cabinet. This is especially effective if the guitar cabinet used is the same one used when the Studio and Direct Amplifier Profiles were created.

K THAT was an excellent explaination, ty. So, from above one would extrapolate, that the best profile as far as tone, response, reaction for use with :

1. Linear amp/Guitar Cab, using multiple CAB IRs - Direct Amp Profile
2. FOH/Linear amp+linear CAB/Monitors - Studio Profile
3. Guitar amp/Guitar Cab - Direct Preamp Profile
4. 1 and 2, or 2 and 3 at the same time - Merged Profile

Quote from Monkey_Man

Riddle me this:

How can it be that after all this time, I still find the whole affair confusing, and I'm not alone in this?

My only possible explanation is that until one has actually made the various flavours of Profiles, the nebulous nature of this new-fangled CK alchemy is, well, out there in the ether somewhere. I read every thread on it. I've re-read the manual's explanations. There's this inexplicable roadblock, for me at least.

Thank you guys for yet another opportunity for me and others who're also confused to hear fresh perspectives and flavours of explanation.

lol, glad I'm not the only one.

K, but most of what you explained applies to a DI profile. What is the advantage of merging what is essentially a DI profile and a studio profile, or am I missing something else?

I know what a merged profile is (I think). But what are their advantage over a Studio profile.?

Vox already has this

Throw out what you know about modeling amps! The 30-watt Vox Analog Valve combo delivers real tube grit and dynamic response from twin 12AX7s in the preamp and power amp stages. Choose from eight all-analog preamp circuits based on classic amps from Vox and others for tones that range from clean chime to high-gain crunch; then blend in analog-styled delay, chorus, or reverb to taste. A Power Level control lets you dial back wattage on the fly to capture the perfect stage of tube breakup for each song. A sealed cab with a custom 10" Vox speaker provides powerful bass, making the Vox AV30 not just a travel-friendly practice companion, but also a good-sounding, vintage-looking combo for the stage and studio.

Sold my Orange OR15 this morning. But then, I also still have it in my profiles.

Hopefully the 6505 Mini Head sells tonight..

Quote from Morph

I'm a simple guy, so I hardly ever use tons of effects. When playing live, it's difficult to pick up the subtleties and in the studio, other people use their own effects on my basic tone. I'm also doing more cab less gigs (straight into the desk then monitor with in ears). So

Pro

Sounds the same after being on for hours (possibly my favourite)
Sounds the same in different rooms
Sounds killer straight into the desk (live and studio)
Has loads of great effects built in
Responds brilliantly to my third party foot switch (fcb1010)
Said footswitch is supported by Kemper (at least in terms of their response to my issues with beta software, and they don't need to do this)
Doesn't hiss and fizz and make me nervous when on pressure gigs in case a valve closes down

Con

Doesn't walk the dog or make coffee

Highlighted has REALLY been an added blessing. Just Profiled my Peavey 6505 Mini Head. It's a hissy beast on Lead channel. Profile is nice and quiet.

Meeting someone later today and selling that 6505 MH/ I actually have a better version of it now on my KPA.

Watched the vid finally all the way.

When did Fluff sell out and start being companies mouthpieces?

Might actually be usefull with my poor man's Kemper, my Fender 68 Custom DR with a bevy of dirt pedals. Would make that rig smaller.

Quote from Pentatonic

I have a feeling it copied Kemper's way of capturing tone.

Appears to have stolen more from AXe and others tone match tech.
