Have you opened up a kemper? There nothing to it. If they offered a board to upgrade it would be basically the same as a new unit anyway. I for one would love it becasue I like white and have a white power amp in the back custom to the mark 1 shape. And I prefer the look of the mk 1.

I remember kemp saying when you do a profile that its better the 2nd go. The first gets your levels right for the 2nd. Unsure if it matters now with 2

Kemp himself said 2.0 was especially better at di profiles.

I profiled my all time favourite setup with Profiling 2.0: Marshall JMP-1 Preamp with an 9200 Poweramp and 1960AX Cabinet, but all DI Profiles.
With classic profiling there was huge lack of tightness and some harsh sounding things going on, which could be compensated in some way, especially with the Defintion parameter.
With Profiling 2.0, same setup, same settings, there is a big amount of more tightness in the low end, but there is still some fizzy stuff and some "thinness" going on, I guess in the upper mids, where Profiling 2.0 has a lack of recreation. Same thing when the JMP-1 preamp is being profiled separately. I think theres something going on in the JMP-1 preamp, what both versions of profiling are not developed for.
Its a shame thats for sure. I havnt tried 2.0 yet but i be waiting for the 2nd hand market

The most accurate profiling achieved. Quote

The one thing i wana say with the leo gib vid is regardldmss if you cant judge a video with real life ears yadayada the argument is it sounds diferent to the amp or the other unit fullstop. There is no argument there if the control is also in the vid BUT. I was impressed with the nam loader so i watched that vid too. Id have to double check but he may have used a past recording of the soldano and the nam loader an the kemper is new clip and he bundled them together? An ive had amps that sound different everyday depending on the power out my socket etc. He may have a setup and a loop thats consistant but if that kemper capture was on a diff day then maybe that explains it. Maybe. And also remember kemp saying do a capture twice, the first one acts like a calibration and the 2nd more accurate. Dont know if that applies to 2,0

Then quietly sell the Kemper and buy whatever someone else tells you is best.
Simple.maybe i sell my guitar too. I can take up dancing

If Nam and Tonex have this thing sewn up, why are there so many sh*t profiles on their sites?
Why do people still buy the Amalgam packs for example?
What they haven't got is liquid profiling etc
Back to Kemper 2 ..........
have you gone to rig manager?
-
Can someone please confirm the taoster size? I wana know if my custom valve amp will fit in the mark 2. Could be a illusion but it looks shallower and shorter? or is that just the new tappered off top. Anyone thanks
-
What do you think about the resultus of the Null test of Leo Gibson?
As expected 2.0 is better than 1.0 but it's still pretty far away from NAM (and Tonex). Had higher hopes to be honest...interestingly I even prefered the sound of the Kemper with Mk1 on identical captures packs nonetheless 🤷🏻♂️
ouch i dont wana hear that. Get ready for the the oh null test doesnt matter brigade. I for one wanted 100 percent accuracy im here to profile my amps. not buy packs
-
Has anyone had a try at doing a pedal yet? Or valve preamp? Census with mk1 was it wasnt great. Love to capture my hotbox v1 with orig transformer before she goes to transformer heaven as they do

I watched this last night and did think that the 2.0 profile sounded better on the MK2 Kemper than the MK1 Kemper (and not just because of the visual filters he used to differentiate between the two) . I commented to ask whether a 2.0 profile on a MK1 Kemper sounds better or worse than a classic profile of the same amp (same settings) on the MK1. I want to know because I don't want to buy 2.0 profiles whilst I still have a MK1 Kemper if they're going to sound worse than sticking with classic.
I know 'what good means' can be subjective, but there was night and day difference between the 2.0 profile on the MK2 and MK1 Kempers. The guy could have cocked something up during his comparison but assuming he knows what he's doing, I'd like to know whether to go 2.0 profiles on MK1, or stick with classic.
I'm also interested to know more about 2.0 functionality working on MK1 as long as you don't upgrade to 14.0 . . . hmmmmm.
This has been talked about a thousand times here and on the youtubes. Why do people go in circles an just repeat the same questions?. 2 mins on here an you will find your awnsers. Sorry to sound like a P but ya know. The 2.0 profiles sound better on an mark 1 than classic profiles, but not as good as on a mark 2 unit as intended. Kemper tippy toes around this some reason but from what others are saying, an what I have pl;ayed myself, the mid hump is gone.

In this video the guy says (and shows), that the 2.0 profiles sound thinner and not that good on Mk1 units than a classic profile. To be clear, on Mk2 the 2.0 sounds better.
So I don't want to discuss the video sound here, but ask:
Has someone made the same experience? Or is it amp dependent?
Because that would mean, for Mk1 users the Mk1 profiles will still be the best solution?Just saw the same from another guy. I kinda like the marshall dill ones I had a quick play last night but it looks like im getin a mark 2............. Honestly my mark 1 feels useless now. These are going to be hard to move on.

How about simply having 2.0 profiles in Rm a different colour. Albiet a diff green even. That would give the quickest and easiest browsing experience. Gay or straight
-
Junktone and mbrit vid they show the mid woof is gone. Id be happy if the 2.0 profiles still loose the whoof on a mark 1 unit albiet with less resolution. Guess i will buy a mark 2 but man i hate the new setout with no section buttons, i use them all the time and it looks odd without them. Not a fan of the lamborghini aventor style artwork either

It looks like he used the profile he made together with the cabinet to go then into a real cab. The Kemper will remove the cab on the output to the real cabinet but i think he really should have made a d.i. profile. imo they sound WAY better when you intend to use the poweramp and a real cab ... it is a real shame because i think it could sound way better ... and is refining really gone ? That gives me a bit trust issues since i spent so much time refining
but i have to try it myself. at the moment i do not have the money for the new kemper and i have to check first if my old profiles sound the same, they are very crucial and important for me.he does too. Has the cab on. What a doufus. Not good for kemper sein its the first vid out

Whats another summer! Thankyou kemper for my little exile. It gave me more time to work on my option paralysis in kemper menu. Maybe this new profiling will work better pedals etc. To have my valve pedals in a mini on my board would save much space.
