Hi there,
Been touring almost all day of summer with the kemper.
And I’m not really happy with it…
I use M Britt 69 profiles, that I’ve found are the best for live use, they do the job for foh (our foh is a big one like 15kw or something with a really great sound engineer), no problem they do the job, just like any other unit in fact.
But It’s not been a blast playing it at all.
There’s something strange with the attack that really doesn’t react like an amp, like an over exaggerated behavior despite an also exaggerated compression in the mids that seems to happen with every rig I played (and I played and bought a lot, really a lot).
I started to think it was my main guitar so I tested it with a simple H&K tubeman II preamp (which is my backup rig) into a two notes torpedo live and boom everything sounded like it should do, much easier to play and amp like feel it should, no problem with attack or compression. Clean, crunch or mid/high gain tones.
So I’m started to think that even if I really wanted really strong the kemper to be full satisfaction for me it’s not…
So, before selling it I want to try the direct profile + Ir way, cause I really love the form factor of the stage (easy to use live).
Who here use it that way going direct to foh?
Do you have any good direct profiles and irs that work well?
I’m a Marshall guy but I don’t care about names, I just need clean - breakup - crunch - mid/high gain - lead that can cover every major styles (not metal).
If some here can tell what are they « tour-approved » direct profile + ir rigs I would be very happy, cause I know that’s a real deep rabbit hole ^^.
Thanks for reading.
