I just had my first "gig" with the Kemper and I wanted to leave my first impressions of how the Kemper worked out. I say "gig" because I just only played four songs at my church and I didn't get paid . I used @lonestargtr (Michael Britt's) profiles exclusively--/13 LDW, /13 FTR and 3rd Power BF clean sounds. I have to say that the Kemper worked out very well and Britt's profiles were flawless. Editing my performances on the stage was so easy. The only problem that I had was that I noticed that the more high gain profiles were having some issues--something akin to digital artifacts--in the sound. Luckily it hit me that I had been fidgeting with the Distortion Sense setting. I reset this to 0 and everything was right in the world again. I played with the Distortion Sense control in the first place because I have an HSS Strat (well, Zexcoil Convertible and two Zexcoil strat pickups) and I was trying to even out the pickups. Bad idea. Anyhow. After I got home, I spent some time adjusting the pickup height on my Strat and that alleviated the disparity between the pickups.
I just wanted to leave this here for someone else to avoid my mistake and to thank @lonestargtr for his amazing profiles. I had to sell my Dirty Shirley to get the Kemper and I just got Britt's Modern Pack--I'm so excited to have my Dirty Shirley back and the profiles give me the best parts of this amp less the 80 lbs. Thank you, Michael!!
