YES !!!!

still 6 hours before I can go back home and test it... it's gonna be long!

Currently (as far as I can tell) there is no presets for the new Kemper Drive and Full OC stomps, neither on the Profiler, nor in Rig Manager.

Tandrin · October 19, 2020 at 11:40 AM

I have been poking around in it for the last 20 minutes and I have not found them either.

Found them. If you open up rig manage, you can find them in the effect block menu. Time to play with them

andrezuppe · October 19, 2020 at 11:48 AM

I cannot test, but I've heard that Kemper Drive has got different simulation inside (Boss OD, ts 808, Bluesbreaker, etc etc...with original trademark names, as they just profiled the pedals themselves)

You can find the barebones stomp type but no specific presets

Here's the KAOS 8.0 addendum manual with more details on the new stuff.

Profiled the pedals? I didnt know they could do that. I wonder if that is something we would be able to do.

wrbi · October 19, 2020 at 12:02 PM

fortunately i have one day off today

Setting Fullrange Mode in Cabinet for the Kone is very nice, but i would love to see "directivity" there too.

No it's an algorithm, not profiles...

According to the addendum, Drive is one single algorithm that can make all the simulated pedals (depending on the settings/presets you choose), except the Fulltone OCD which has its own effect type apparently.

Hmmm, from the Announcements from Kemper forum :

I think the upgrade package might mean the Load Factory Content option in the settings menu..? Or maybe in the zip file itself? I haven't had a chance to check yet.

They wouldn't be Profiles, mate, 'cause the Kemper hasn't got the horsepower to run such things alongside amp Profiles in Rigs.

They'd be "conventionally-modelled", using DSP. This of course doesn't mean they have to sound "pants" 'though.

EDIT:

You're greased lightning, semguigui. Too fast for me, mate.

paddyc · October 19, 2020 at 12:09 PM

Too chicken to go beta. Will watch with interest.

Tonton · October 19, 2020 at 12:13 PM

ah got it... it is "just" 1 extra all-in overdrive pedal: Kemper Drive with certain settings (according that manual shared) that simulates different pedals.

the OCD is separate.

I updated through Rig Manager, so there is no ZIP file. Rig Manager just stores the bin file in my "Downloads" folder (Win10).

Also there is no soft button "Load Factory Content" in SYSTEM menu.

(tried and tested on Kemper Stage and Kemper Head ... no success).

Anyway, I got the stomp types and will just play a bit while Kemper can figure out where the presets have gone

When you download from Kemper Homepage, there is a Folder in the Download

New Kemper Drive and OC Presets, from there you can Import the Presets

Yeh.... I'm sorry I hadn't read the addendum!

So let know how they sound!

expecially 808 against Green Scream

Nikos · October 19, 2020 at 12:52 PM

I am not surprised. There you have it.Now shut up and play..?

I really like the fact that the kemper folks continue to keep it simple.One single "drive generator"..I knew it.Nice.

PS

No "fuzz generator"??
