Bought a new Stage in the hope of having a lighter load-in. Having used stomps/pedals solely since packing up my old Digitech RP10 in the late 90’s, I’m on a STEEEEEEEEEEEEEP learning curve! Primarily using it for live shows across many genres, it’s going to keep me entertained for a long while…

Welcome, have fun here in the forum and with your Kemper. Sounds like the fun is already going on, very good! Enjoy this incredible machine as much as most of us here do
I’m on a STEEEEEEEEEEEEEP learning curve!
Fair enough. We all had that (and certainly still have with continuously new features and updates coming in from Kemper ). Enjoy and do not hesitate to ask here if there are questions the manuals or the brilliant tutorial videos do not answer.

Welcome Sir

You'll love it, I went through multiple amps and stomps until 1990 and got a Boss me-1, then a Digitech rp-1, then back to tube amp and stomps, then Line 6 AXll, then.....it finally ended in 2017 with the Kemper. Take advantage of ST's links above, a little reading time and patience and the basic navigation and use isn't bad, you will have a silly grin on your face pretty quick just going through the onboard profiles, and the forum is an invaluable resource. Congratulations on your purchase!

G'day and welcome, mate.
I second ST and HB's advice and links.
Also, as I often say, just jumping in and tweaking will teach you an awful lot, and quickly at that.

My suggestion is to start simple. Start with the basics of what you want rather than what it can do.
Couple of suggestions from me:
1) The layout is similar to the workflow of an amp. Pre amp effects on the left, post on the right. Volume and gain controls, eq controls all the same as an amp.
2) For live, use performance mode to manage your sounds. treat it as a multi channel amp and set up core sounds ( clean, ryhthm, solo) and set up in each performance slot.
3) Look for profiles of amps you know and like. Try them, if you are not feeling it, move on, Don;t over tweak duff profiles ( they do exist)
4) Get your live sound sorted at volume.

I also am a Stage noob. Rig Manager is your friend.

Hi and welcome…

Thanks everyone for such a warm and fuzzy welcome! I will definitely oblige V8guitar and ST’s advice - I’m at a new band meeting tomorrow night to run some tracks and maybe melt a few faces. Or look like a total chump! Either way, it’s do or die because, as I said to the wife, “I ain’t just spent £100 on a new pedal not to play it”…

Hope it goes well dude. New gear can be daunting so hence get some basic sounds and build from there.
I assume your wife is not daft enough to think that something with such pretty lights is £100...

Welcome

No. But I’m daft enough to try and convince her…at least until the will is announced!!!
