Thats not a new concept or greedy at all. If you buy a PC you get the hardware and then you have to buy some software to make it usable. Everybody accepts that. Why not with the Kemper Player?

Some people don't understand how much easier it is this way.

Kemper could have developed a different hardware (CPU etc.). But what are the consequences?

A new CPU/mainboard/whatever means: New driver, new software, additinial development costs, 2 different sytems to maintain. In the end they would have to charge more for the device.

If they've never said that the same CPU is working in there, nobody would've asked for the upgrades...

Maybe a lot of people have never really thought about IT or device development in general...

Level 4 must be profiling. I mean, it's called a profiler. It has to profile at some point.

Well if we are splitting hairs: It's called the "Profiler Player". So I would think that the purpose of this device is to "play" "profiles", right?.

Quote from Ruefus

I submitted a ticket yesterday and received a near-instant confirmation. Are you using the online form?

(see my sig)

yep. Also got the pop up "your message was sent".

It was a sales related inquiry, if that makes a difference.

Hi,

Is the ticket system (via the contact form) working?

I submitted a ticket at the weekend and didn't even get an autoreply. The live chat on the main website also said, that there is no ticket with my mail adress.

I did this with an email adress where i manage the mail server so i could browse through my mail logs and nothings shows up...

Today I submitted a second ticket, this time with a icloud-mail adress just to be sure. Still no autoreply that my ticket was opened or something like this.

Is this the normal procedure? If so, I would recommend to change it and at least respond with an autoreply that states that my mail was recieved. Maybe add the ticket number and a copy of the message that was submitted.

Edit: I know, that I sound like I'm impatient and I'm sorry for that

Do you want to write something about it or just put the pictures here?
(They show the Duo+ by ottercustomdesign which is a nice idea)

Next YouTube video upcoming: The Cirrus Reverb, a Morph, a Step to the left!

I think these are the new effects?

Love the trolling already

First things first: I was really happy to see that Kemper tried to be as open about the problem as possible in situations like these. As someone who works in IT I know how many companies are not sharing any information at all with their clients and I was really surprised (in a positive way) that Kemper used all their (remaining) channels to get the message out.

Now my question:

As Kemper stated in their statement on the website "We’ll keep you updated according to GDPR as soon as we get new insights from the forensic investigation team.": Are there any updates that can be shared with the public at the moment?

I'm usually using one or two IR's to keep my base sound the same. It would be very nice to have the lock-feature in the rig manager for the player.

I understand, that its hard to see if it's active on the device itself, but I'm really annoyed when I'm comparing profiles and have to change the cab everytime I'm clicking through profiles... Maybe, as a comprise, we could add something like a "master cab" that overwrites the cabs in the profiles?

P.S.: welcome back forum!

You've got several options!

1. take a power amp, disable the cabinet and go into a guitar cab.

2. try playing with some parameters. Pure Cabinet and the space parameters will be your friend.

What's Pure Cabinet? https://www.kemper-amps.com/news/11/Ground…or_the_PROFILER

What's Space?

The “Space” parameter adds a small room simulation to the master signal. This makes listening through headphones

far more enjoyable.

A brief explanation: whenever you listen to a sound coming from loudspeakers, you are also hearing the reflections

from the floor, the walls and objects around you. Even when you listen to a mono signal, these additional reflections

will still result in a stereo image once they reach your ears. There is only one common situation where no natural

reflections happen, and that is when you listen through headphones; as your ears are, biologically speaking, not

suited to this, it can quickly lead to listener fatigue. This effect is called “in-the-head localization” and becomes

particularly noticeable when you listen to a mono signal.

By using the Space effect, you can add virtual reflections, to create a sense of room and natural space. A mono

signal will be converted to a subtle stereo image, which should be far more pleasing to your ears. Even though this

effect is designed for headphones, you may also find it appropriate for listening through regular speakers, or for

recording. By selecting the option “Space>HeadphOnly”, you can select whether it is applied to the HEADPHONE

output only, or to the MAIN OUTPUT as well.

Just play around, get a look at the manual and have fun

Quote from JohnnyBee

Can somebody please explain the new function "clean compensation"?

Have a look at the addendum:

Quote

Clean Compensation

The acclaimed clean volume compensation of the PROFILER is now adjustable by the user.

PROFILER users enjoy the unique volume compensation of the amp PROFILE™, whenever amplifier gain is turned

down towards a clean sound. This reduces the need for re-leveling clean sounds for a live performance. The

amplifier’s volume is simply increased with decreasing gain levels without further coloration of the sound.

However, two drawbacks have arisen lately:

• The use of distortion pedals to push the amp is compromised – this is because bypassing the distortion might re-

engage the clean volume compensation, thereby creating an unfavorable volume jump that you won ’t get from tube

amps.

• With the advent of the Liquid Profile™, it became apparent that the clean volume compensation is not favorable on

amp models with a very large bright cap such as “Plexi” and “JCM800”, as it naturally creates a very shrill sound at

low gain settings. Many other Amp Models however – especially the generic PROFILEs – still benefit from the clean

volume compensation.

We have therefore decided to make this clean volume compensation adjustable for the user. It can be found in the

Amp Module as “Clean Compensation” and will be stored per Rig, as well as per amplifier preset.

Important for creators of Liquid Profiles: when creating an authentic Liquid Profile from scratch, the Clean

Compensation will be set to zero automatically.

The compensation can be changed and stored with the Rig at any time.

This new feature is available in all PROFILER models including the new PROFILER Player.

When Clean Compensation is set to maximum, the natural loss of volume of the amp PROFILE is compensated as

the amp gain is dialed towards clean sounds. Amp volume is simply increased with decreasing gain settings, without

further coloration of the sound. This reduces the need to re-level clean sounds for live performances. Most

PROFILEs have Clean Compensation set to maximum.

By reducing Clean Compensation, you can lower the compensation to zero to achieve a natural gain behavior. This

is recommended when using a distortion effect in front of an amp, and you’re aiming for that classic boost effect

when engaging the distortion.

Where are slicer and auto pan? It's really disappointing...

Maybe they were busy to unify the operating systems for the player and the profiler?

And don't take this personally, but comments like yours show me why it's easier for developers to not show a preview for upcoming features or publish a roadmap.

To put it in the words of the Duke Nukem-developers: "It's done when it's done."

Quote from Jan___

Thanks mate, much appreciated (and sorry for the late reply)!

What IR are you using it with, just out of curiosity?

Regarding plans, we have two other cabs to use for profiles, if people are interested (one GREAT Diezel cab and another, more exotic option, that both sounded the best out of many cabs we have tried, alongside the Mesa Cab from our previous packs). I also have a new, even nicer sounding Dual Recto, different overdrives, and am working on one or two other killer amps.

Anything in particular you are looking for?

just curious. I'm always leaning on the Marshall-style of sound, like Friedman or Blackstar.

For playing around at home I'm using the Ownhammer Rockbox-stuff, at our latest recording session I used a v30 IR from York Audio. I'm still waiting for the first rough mix so I don't know if they sound like we wanted it to, but I#m pretty optimistic

love them. I use the 800 profiles a lot (only with a different IR).

Can you say someting about your plans already?

Ich finde, dass viele Leute den Player falsch wahrnehmen.

In meiner Wahrnehmung soll der gar nicht eine Variante des Stage sein, sondern im Endeffekt ein Pedalboard-Amp, der netterweise schon ein paar Effekte mit an Board hat. Mit einem anderen Namen wie "Kemper Pedal Player" o.Ä. wäre das mMn auch eindeutiger gewesen.

Ich find ihn super. Ich nutze so gut wie keine Effekte (bisschen Hall hier, bisschen Boost da) und daher kann der Player alles was ich brauche. Mir fehlt nur manchmal die Lock-Funktion.

Ich spiele momentan mit dem Gedanken, meinen Powerhead abzustoßen, und dann nur noch eine Röhren-Lunchbox zu nutzen. (Da muss ich dann aber erst noch ein paar Profile erstellen...)

Auf dem Pedalboard geht dann das Eingangssignal einmal zum Player und von da aus zum Mixer, das andere Signal geht zur Lunchbox (zum Spaß haben) und gut ist.

had a look into the tonecraft profiles. As good as they may sound all the profiles have the same gain. Not very versatile in my opinion.

Quote from musiker01

Then they should not announce when they want to ship it! I ordered it because of that and because i had some holiday time now to fiddle around with it. Holiday is over now and i still have nothing to fiddle with....................................... When it will finally arrive i don't have much spare time to try out. Kind of dissapointment. And yes, it's got paid upfront.

Icknow, and I know it’s a little disappointing.

Was there any delivery time communicated?

When I talked to the shop-support on the phone, they said that the release was delayed and they wanted to announce it earlier. Just bad timing in the end.

Hello everyone.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pedal board power supply that powers the Profiler Player?

The only one i found so far, is the Cioks DC-7. A little bit expensive...

Has anyone found alternatives yet? Throw them in here please

P.S.: Guten Rutsch // Have a happy New Year!

Quote from fabz sculforge

Same here... ordered on the 20th.

Got told they hope to ship it this week.

Obiviously, I didn't happen.

Yes I understand the high demand. Yes I understand Kemper is a small company. Still my patience fades...

I paid upfront (as everyone did) and nothing on the website/store said, it will take that long.

I really don't like the way they treat the situation.

Anyways, I think I'll have to wait a bit longer than expected.

Damn!

Affirmative. But no ETA yet.

Does that mean, the player has the same hardware power as the stage? Just interested if it’s maybe the same hardware inside

Anyway: Happy Holidays!
