  • Fender tone master pro and dedicated Speaker

    Quote from Ruefus

    The Cyber Twin was released in 2001

    I bought one in 2001 and always have it (like it even i don't play it often) ;)

    I had a mustang V2 20W too, it was fun to play at home.


    IMO, they really do a mistake with this price level...

    I agree Line 6 had done a bet with Helix cause they change their range price from amateur to professionnal (and they succeeded). But there were only Fractal and Kemper upper range price and Helix was cheaper. After, L6, a lot of modelers followed the same way ; Boss GT-1000, headrush floor, MOOER GE-300, ZOOM G11 :rolleyes: . And QUAD CORTEX...


    We have a lot of choice, all those devices communities have grown and exchanged a lot of knowledges/presets during years.

    Fender arrives with a high level price but i don't remember a Fender multi-effects pedal board, it's a Helix/Quad Cortex mixed like....They arrive after the battle....

    I'm not a marketing strategist but, imo, they should come like Helix did (at 1000€ in this case), just to make poeple hesitate and try another (imo good) possible solution.....

    I hope i'm wrong but they've launched other really good products that they don't sell....I don't think they sell a lot of Tone master combo even it can be a really really good solution. But tube snobs don't look at it and others jump to modelers....

  • How to change modes in Rig Manager

    I assume they could have added this fonctionnality in rig manager for the Stage cause we have two soft buttons to jump from a mode to another one, the problem is that Head and Rack have a physical chicken head knob. So there would be a hardware difference position from the real state....


    You should buy a head (and a remote) ;) :)

  • International voltage

    On the manual, i read the same spec for Powerhead & rack ; 100~125V ou 190~245V CA max. 10A

    I don't know why there's a gap vs non-powered version but it detects automatically the voltage...

  • What would be your killer feature for a Kemper 2 ?

    I don't want to be nasty but the subject is about a Kemper 2, meaning : what would you buy it for ? What you would pay 1500€ for ?


    I'm in paradise with my stage and it's really tricky to answer this question....


    I see a lot of Rig manager/Profiler software requirements.... Kemper has proved that they can make evolved their product without creating a new one ( <3, my best regards sire Christophe :thumbup: ) , the only question is what will be the limit.


    Some want a new embelished one.... A new screen,etc... I bought my stage and since day one it was already old fashioned. :rolleyes: ?(

    But i like that, it makes me think of poeple who looks old when they're young , they seem to stay the same ^^ ....

    At the begining, i had to do all the settings on the device itself and Rig manager has evolved and we could do them on the PC, now i can do them on an ipad too (i'm really impatient to have it on android ;) )... If i want a beautifull touchscreen, i just have to buy a new 150/200€ tab....And i don't need to bend down to reach this hypothetic beautiful touch screen....


    I see two reasons to launch a new product :


    - A cheaper/lighter "Profiler" (the term should change cause, imo, one thing it won't be able to do is profiling), it could be a good thing to have a cheaper backup.....The question is what to get rid of ? I could be interested in this solution....I wondered if i should buy another used Profiler, but for my use, it would be a luxury backup solution just in case....


    - A much more complex solution ; two parallel paths, with 2 amps/cabs at the same time, 16 blocks pre and post Stack.... I won't buy it cause i don't need it but i can understand some could be interested in that. I don't want to see a so important solution coming on my stage cause i imagine the hardware ergomic will be very complex too....

  • Tips for blending R121 and Sm57 for profiles ?

    I share opinions above but, IMO, you shouldn't have to EQ your rigs on the profiler.

    You can work on cutting the mix on your side but a band is a set, every instrument have to find a place, and all those frequencies separation have to be made on the mix table....

    For me, it's the soundguy's job.

    In my band this is a problem.... i've asked to work on it and we have only done once (EQ settings)... We arrive on gigs and push the track's volume...No comment. X/ :rolleyes: ;(

    The thing that can be done is disabling delays/reverb that can be pleasant alone but too much wet in a gig context, the sound guy can add it on the mix table to correspond to each musician and the place where you are.....

  • Liquid Profiles "Feel"

    So, did they notice the difference ? :?: ;) :)

  • What would be your killer feature for a Kemper 2 ?

    Quote from Alienator

    And now the long answer 😜: All I can do is repeat myself: Just read the endless (and tiring, some would maybe say) years old wish list, in the Kemper feature request thread and just compare every single request with what already is in the Helix. Helix is only an example here, because I own one.

    I know there are many wishes to "improve" a new Kemper generation....

    But I still don't understand what YOU want to improve precisely ?

    Do you really want to find all the requirements in a future version ? Are you sure Helix can already ensure all those needs currently ?

    Do you want to have a Helix like ? But what for ?

  • Don't want liquid profiling.

    My Stage is at rehearsal room and i'm going on vacations tomorrow so i won't be able to try it soon but i'm impatient.

    I'm sure this new LP is just a game changer...


    It reminds me all car's options i said they are unecessary (keyless, speed regulator...), i couldn't live without them today.... :) ;)

  • Liquid Profiles

    Quote from benifin

    For [Liquid ] PROFILING, it is preferable to set the gain control of your reference amp to the maximum position.....These unusual settings might not sound all that great, but they are electrically stable and very reproducible for capturing a Liquid Profile.

    My neighbors are going to be delighted ;) ^^

  • Liquid Identifier

    There are three items i see important with LP search criteria for me :


    1) Does the Profile Own a Liquid ?

    2) What kind of Profile ? (if i wanna have fender twin tone stack, others are not important)

    3) Has Liquid been made during profiling process ?


    IMO, 1 & 2 can be regroup with a drop-down list.
