Joyo American with on a nano pedalboard with OCD, TC delay and verb, plusMobius. Joyo American is might be the best $40 I ever spent. I don't use a power amp, only direct to PA and monitors. For certain gigs, it is my main and only 'rig'.

Perhaps you are focusing on the CS and DS too much? I pretty much set it and forget it. I want the different behavior of each guitar to come through on its own. I also am not interested in tweaking these params during a gig. Focusing on this is diminshing returns for me and it has zero issues that I care about.

This is a very good Dumble style profile. It has the elusive chirp and bloom that I haven't experienced with a Kemper profile until now. Love it. Thank you so much!
-
Thank you so much for these profiles! Fantastic.
-
Did you complete the transplant? The other guitar is the one I'd want.

Thank you for the details. There is some possible confusion regarding what Bluesmaster means which is why I asked. I have built quite a few D-style amps as well. I was, am, a member of TAG and benefitted from the info over there.
It seems some profile maker(s) don't know what PAB is. In any case, the D style amps require multiple profiles due to all the switching. Also, the HRM with two tonestacks is not really possible mimic with the Kemper. So, an amps like those would require quite a lot of profiles at different setting to get there. My experience is that the chirp, bloom and mids are never 'right' with the Kemper. At least, I haven't heard a profile yet that does it really well.
Looking forward to trying yours out though!

Hi, Im fairly new to the Kemper profiler, january 2024 was my first encounter. My band want to rehearse completely silent(headphones) and that made me buy a 2nd hand profiler+remote.
I build amps for hobby and on ampgarage.com I'm one the guys behind different chassis and pcb offerings for the Overdrive Special and Steel String Singer #002.
Long story short I made a profile of my ODS Bluesmaster, this is the first one and Im in for more of my amps hopefully. Guitar used is humbucker one.
Pls check it out and leave a comment good/bad/ mmm etc.
You can find it using ODS Bluesmaster.
Thanks! Erwin
Edit: made a small clip for reference.
Thanks for making this available. How much Bluesmaster is the amp you built? Tonestack? PI? El34 or 6L6?
I haven't had a chance to try it, but I'm eager to do so. I've found Dumble tones to hard to get with the Kemper for some reason. Always something missing in the mids. Also, it seems those that profile then don't understand PAB and that tone seems to be missing.
-
Don't know much about that unit, but there are 2 used listings. I wouldn't call that 'so many'
-
I use a maxon sd9 with the kemper. With the right amp profile it gets me in the ballpark. For me the key is the maxon.
I have tried similar as well. I suppose the way that we define ballpark is key here. I simply can't get close enough for my taste.
-
Landau and Scott Henderson tones are close cousins to my ear. I have never gotten close to either with any profile. The midrange never seems to get there.
-
you are focusing on science to dismiss his perception yet you don't seem to know that "feel" he is speaking of is a result of soundY
Yes, I am focusing on science because that is how we absolutely explain the world around us. This discussion wouldn't exist if not for science. I am guessing that you hear the feel too?!?!
-
Take a deep breath, you already have enough technology in your hand to write a few hit songs.
Yes, take a deep breath. But we could say get out your acoustic guitar write a hit song. Totally off the point of the OP and the Kemper.
...For something that was/is so momentous and future proofing the product and keeping it at the forefront, it really seems like the move to Liquid Profiling has pretty much hit a wall (?)...
IMO the OP made a valid point. LP is not actually that momentous, interesting or useful or much of an improvement over what was available prior to that. It did generate some buzz and new/renewed interest which is good for Kemper business. The hype on this forum regarding LP was not based on any thing tangible. It was mostly overblown nonsense. I would suggest that the OP reset expectations. LP is not momentous, game changing or any other platitude you may choose. The high expectations were never warranted, so understand it for what it is.
-
It's really a shame to have a LP without a coil split option. There's a whole world of tones out of reach that can be had with a tiny little mod.
I like a good coil split too, but not always a tiny mod. Many humbuckers only have two wires...
-
I recognize that you think your tube output section makes your Kemper better. For your conclusion to be factual, you are implying that the your tube output section PERFECTLY corrects all of the errors inherent in the Kemper as is. Did you indentify all of the errors in the Kemper and design a tube output section that perfectly corrects the errors or did you just get lucky or is it just not an accurate statement? I know which is more likely. You state "ears mean everything" and "the guitar experience is about feel as much as sound". Those two statements don't logically make sense. I think you must mean that both matter. Or can you hear the feel?
Again, YMMV. And again, just making a note so others that read this thread understand that there is a rather large difference of opinion on this topic.
-
I'm confused about what tone you are trying to get close to. Luke, Landau, Huff tones covers a WIDE range. To me, the clip is dominated by overblown, unartful delay that is creating a sonic mess. Just my opinion. Foxy Lady tone it is not. So, can you give some example of the tone you are after?
-
It's very cool that you addded the tube output section and that you like the result. I appreciate the work that you did. It is very novel. From an engineering standpoint, it is just not necessary. I'm only making this post to memorialize my view so that others are aware of a differing viewpoint. As a design engineer , this is a dubious method of improving a Kemper. YMMV and all that...

In a trio, stereo works...
Definitely maybe ...Stereo works only when the listener is in an advantageous listening position with respect to the speakers. It depends on the room, speaker arrangement, and listening position.

IM cannot be filtered out per se. Once you pass the gain stage it is part of the signal, especially in push-pull topologies. The most you could try would be to add shelf eqs in front of the preamp section, which again will alter your gain and tone not unlike using a tube screamer or focus type pedal.
Yes, IM is physics. Yes, it could be filtered. The lo cut on the output can definitely reduce the magnitude of ANY 31Hz input to that lo cut filter. Not sure how 31Hz was identified, but I suppose it doesn't matter for this discussion.
-
That video is exactly what I am experiencing in the Kemper. "intermodulation distortion."
Be fantastic if Kemper could update to filter those hum, like in this case that 31hz hum. Maybe adding EQ and cut mids would take care of it. I haven't messed around with that.
IM is physics and is not going away. 31Hz is not mids. Have you tried the lo cut?
-
I know its really just a byproduct of the camera, but how cool would it be if the kemper had an LED shimmer mode as seen in the first 30 seconds of that clip?
Just blink your eyes real fast instead
