  • New Kemper Kone....Troubleshooting

    Thanks for sharing that story, great info in it! Cool thing 8)

    Quote from jasonwharton

    Then after playing for a while I heard a slight pop and silence =O ...... :cursing:

    After a few expletives, I calmed down and started sniffing around, no blown speaker smell at all, this was promising,

    I then realized the back of the cab had vibrated so much it popped out the speaker cable. Nice work Kemper Kone !!

    That part made my day... :thumbup::D:D:D

    I am now looking at youtube and reading in this forum for info and hints

    That's great idea. So many things already answered or discussed in this forum. Typical traps and pitfalls. And usually it turns out that there is a solution and that things work out over time.

  • Tone Junkie Mystery Amp

    Quote from CJGOMEZ

    I often find profiles that suit guitar A and are terrible or just uninspiring with guitar B. With Brit's and Bert's profiles the ratio of this low versatilty is smaller and the profiles just sound different because the guitars (and obviously the pups) are different.

    Same here. I love those profiles which typically work for most if not all of my different guitars. And those which work for live and studio use. Luckily there is more than a big handful in the stuff from those two you mentioned :thumbup:8)

  • Kiss Your Tears

    Great sound and playing bro, very nice! I love the ambient sound of it, plays loud very well :thumbup:8)


    Hopefully the title is not born out of a crisis...

  • Tips and advice stereo vs mono

    Adding onto all the valid points from V8guitar here's one more: Careful with stereo in live gigs. Many venues do not operate their PAs in stereo. For reason as they typically want to eliminate negative effects for parts of the crowd not standing in the perfect position (middle) in front of the PA. So if you get there and you don't know about it your ping-pong delay will quickly (and best case) become a ping-ping-delay 8o


    By the way I love the stereo effects coming from the Kemper. And I am in a trio with just me on guitar. So here and there a broad, ambient sound is really a very cool thing. Live in most cases the audience will not really be able to catch that.

  • Project Masquerade - super warm tones

    Great track Renaud, very cool atmosphere and indeed very warm tones. That pumping but still relaxed rythm reminds me extremely of "All I Need" from Air (probably some national heroes over there in France :)).


    Thanks for sharing, well done Renaud :thumbup:8)

  • The time has come... I'm selling my tube amps!

    Quote from V8guitar

    Hey, we all love that look

    Somebody posted this wonderful picture here some time ago. The looks and the weight can be separated to a certain extent 8o I love that one and don't want to know how often this was the case even in times before the Kemper. I remember a great gig by Alice In Chains 10/12 years ago when some of the tecs explained to me that Jerry's sound was fully coming from an isolation box behind the stage... certainly they enjoyed my face a lot back then 8)


  • New KPA prospect

    Quote from V8guitar

    I played a gig last year and the support band guitarist used a marshall JCM 800....the sound engineer had to constantly tell him to reduce his on stage volume ( as you need to crank them). Created tension between the guitarist who wanted his singing tone and the engineer who could not balance the sound. Their sound check, because of that, took maybe 20 mins.

    Seen so often. Been through that on my own. Many emotions from both sides...

    Quote from V8guitar

    I just plugged mine in and boom...done in 20 seconds and my sound was fab. He was very happy with me

    So cool with the Kemper. I love this. And you V8guitar and I already shared that some time ago: Prio 1 is the audience. They should hear the perfect tone. Prio 1,5 (to not make it 2) is yourself hearing it well, having the amp-in-the-room / amp-on-the-stage feeling. Not to be underestimated though but solvable with Kemper Kabinet etc. 8)

  • The time has come... I'm selling my tube amps!

    Quote from KnoxHarrington

    I got my KPA and have been very happy with it ever since.

    Quote from KnoxHarrington

    I just love the consistency, the reliability, the ergonomics, just about everything this unit has to offer.

    This. Same here. Can't agree more.


    For that reason my love to the valve amps has really cooled down. Actually I have not appetite to go back to those times of moving that big, fat 4x12 ENGL cab on any stage and see the sound guys' shocked eyes. All of this is so much easier with the Kemper. So I sold most of my stuff. Maybe I would keep more if my house would be way bigger. But probably I would not use the stuff more then anyways.

    Quote from KnoxHarrington

    perhaps you strongly advice me not to sell my amps, who knows

    Not me. But don't listen to us. Follow your gut feeling :)

  • Sold FM3 and bought Stage

    Welcome to the forum, have fun here and with your Kemper. Thanks for sharing your story.


    Biased? Yes. For reason 8o ...but certainly all these machines are great tools. Not worth any argument that you can achieve great results with the top line machines from different vendors. As others said here it depends on what aside of great sound you need. More tweaking, less tweaking, this and that effect etc.


    Personally I love the approach of the Kemper and as Monkey_Man said its organic sound with the right profiles (from which are way enough out there). Effects are very fine for me, tweaking is straight forward and gives me enough options. I would not like a more complicated approach to achieve just a very little better sound... just my 2 cents though.

    Quote from halipino

    Hi Deadman, u rock! FZ eh? Well that is a goal to strive for.

    Yes. Unreachable for me. But I always admired Mr. Zappa's creativity and guitar styles.

    Quote from halipino

    Are you an admin on this forum?

    No. By no means. I think you can easily identify the Kemper team folks (i.e. Mods / Moderators) here looking around their avatars. I think their status is clearly marked with blue bar and "Moderator" or "Kemper". Who are doing a great job by the way to keep the forum polite and on high quality :thumbup:8)
