Hi all,
the "nearest" Kemper? Well, about 700 m from Kemper Headquarter, there is our rehearsal room, so this is probably the nearest Kemper in use .
Coming from Behringer V-Amp pro with all its limitations but some quite good sounds, I had the chance to get a Kemper (powered rack version). So first, I did the forbidden: I profiled the Behringer, and the result was not so bad...
Why this? It’s not so easy to find the sound between thousands, which fits in the band sound like the old gear did. Biggest problem: to hear the sound alone is far away from hearing it with the band, and trying a few thousand sounds together with the band... well, no one will bear that.
In the meantime I found some pretty sounds to replace the old gear. And the possibilities of the Kemper are overwhelming.
However, there are some things, I don't understand:
Why is it necessary to change the position of the volume pedal from the first place to the last in nearly all sounds? If I would change the volume before the amp, I can use the volume poti of the guitar. But to change the main volume without changing the sound, this is the purpose of the pedal.
And the most important missing thing is the remote PC-software for all functions. It is so difficult to keep the overview of the functions in such a small display. (By the way: who can make the app to bring the display on the smart phone?)
