I currently reside in Vietnam, so the sound systems here aren't great, but even on a nice system the Kemper can be brittle & hard to mix.
I find it REALLY difficult to get the tone I want live. Its either too harsh or not saturated enough. It's quite frustrating, as the Kemper is expensive & very praised.
I run straight into the board most times. I feel like with the right PA you can make a shitty effects processor sound huge. But with a mediocre PA the Kemper doesn't feel good to play. The touch isn't natural, or amp like. Doesn't feel right in my hands. It's like playing through a crappy solid state. Very Ice-picky, you can't seem to get that trebly harshness out.
For instance, It would be like turning 1K through 10K to maximum on a broad band EQ
Any suggestions on how to mix live?
