    Is using an EMG SA in the middle too obvious of a suggestion?

    That's not the question. It's getting the configuration right when there are no standard HSH sets, and all the HH sets only come with a 2-pickup bus. There's probably a decent accessory set I'm missing.

    So I’m struggling - trying to figure out the best way to get an EMG set (probably 57/66TW) and adding in a single coil for my middle pickup. Both sets come with a 2 pickup bus, and obviously 57/66 with a push pull - anyone had any experience of this with a 5 way switch too?

    Has anyone else had more issues with Floyd Roses than with Ibanez edge systems?


    It comes as something when the most stable trem system I have is an Ibanez Edge 3.

    Anyone got any tips or things they use to help with tuning stability having used the bar at all?

    Look at the "Rig Packs" on the online Downloads page, and/or in Rig Manager:

    https://www.kemper-amps.com/downloads/10/Rig-Packs

    KEMPER Rig Pack 01, 02 & 04 (April 2012 - January 2013)

    KEMPER Legacy Rig Packs 2012 (July 2013), 2013 (July 2014), 2015 (March 2016), & 2017 (April 2018)

    These are already in my rig manager and there are loads that don't show up, wouldn't have thought any of the rigs would be regionalised or anything either.

    After a bit of random googling I've come across various manuals for the Kemper showing a lot more variation in available rigs such as handwired JCM800s, more signature amps such as the Blackstar Blackfire 200 Gus G model etc. Anyone know where these rigs went to?

    The thing i keep seeing here is that the Kabinet is to be connected to the monitor output, but as a cab shouldn't this primarily be the speaker output (i.e. like a normal cab)? Surely the Kone IRs can be used on speaker output mode too for all profile types.

    Lots of conflicting information and nothing concrete to say it can be used in that way when also recording through S/PDIF etc. also.

    The sound quality is the same though all of them, so it's up to you. I have many ins/outs on my interface, so use the 2 xlr main outs to record in stereo if I want (you can do the same with the 1/4" outs) usually mono though, the direct out runs the clean guitar signal for possible re-amping later.

    Unusual part of my setup:

    My unit is just used for recording (never leaves) so I also have one set of the outputs from the interface goes to the alternate input and return input on the Kemper. When recording I can have tons of plugins running in my DAW at max buffer size, and no issues with latency because it's all monitored on the Kemper, you can hear the DAW playback and your live guitar. (which can be panned in the rig menu).

    Alternate approach would be to monitor direct from the audio interface. Pretty much every interface should have this ability in one form or another- either with driver software or onboard knob. Record monitoring in your DAW can be problematic if you're running many plugins (or have an old computer like me), you get glitches unless the buffer size is increased, which causes latency delay.

    Thanks for the response. In terms of recording through interface etc. I'm assuming I can still get the sound from the cab whilst I'm recording. (Very much a noob)!

    I would consider getting an external audio interface for recording. There not all that expensive these days. As far as hooking everything up, the S/PDIF is only one option. There are many other output choices on the Kemper. Be aware that there is a measurable amount of latency using S/PDIF, possibility of stutters and pops, glitches, and no difference in sound quality. There's never any pops or glitches with the other outputs, lower latency (pretty much none), and sound quality is the same. (I never use S/PDIF after trying it, latency messes up with my playing a little)

    Still, get an audio interface with sufficient inputs and try for yourself what works best.

    Thanks for your response. In terms of the other outputs then, which would you prefer or consider first?

    Just about to get my power head and had a question on linking to pc/recording, I’ve seen a few questions not answered exactly how I was anticipating.


    Essentially I want to record directly to my pc from the kemper output, S/PDIF seems to be the preferred method, but is it just a case of getting a soundcard (internal or external) and linking from the kemper to that, to the pc?


    Cheers
