Already did just that, but my new rack needs to have a rack drawer under the Kemper, all steel. So I was just thinking there was at least one of the two issues solved by an os update. I guess I read it wrong.

I was perusing this forum, but I forget which thread had a list of OS updates, and what they changed.

I could swear one said the XLR and 1/4" Main outputs are now separate?

Here's why I ask...I run my iem feed in stereo into the Aux ins on the back, and then take the front headphone output into my IEM transmitter, so I can mix a combination of my bass in the kemper, and everyone else coming from the monitor mixer...a great, easy way to make sure I can hear myself, with no external mixer needed.

But using the front headphone jack means in a rack, I have to allow one space below to get the cable fed to the back of the rack.

Is there a way to use those stereo 1/4" Main out jacks that are as of now unused, as my IEM signal, and ditch using the headphone output?

I would need a way to control the level as the Left XLR is my DI feed to the FOH.

Thoughts?

I'm all in eared up big time.

I only have to drop 1/2 step down, and only for 1 song, so I think I'll go for it. I'm assuming it's an effect of some kind and it will be fairly obvious how to implement it.

For fun, I'll report back after a few tests to confirm how well it will likely work live.

Why headphones? What difference would that make?

Just curious how it would work. I could use it once in awhile to just drop 1/2 a step down.

I've heard samples on guitar and it's good enough for a live gig I think.

Anyone actually use it live?

I'm down to wanting ONE single tonestack just for bass guitar. I don't care about new profiles of anything, just either one single tonestack with generic BASS guitar frequencies for each knob, or the ability to simply change the Freq. manually for each like many other digital amps already offer.

Still nothing yet?

I too have used both the Neutrik line coupler, and a generic $4 ethernet cable coupler from amazon. The cable used for the remote is of course just a regular ethernet connection, so any coupler should work. You can buy those little D-type modules with passthrough and mount the whole thing under the pedal board.

Quote from Simon S

Byou gitarrist are happy people😅

We base players have 0 bass tone stacks amps for liquid profiling since August 😢

Bingo. This makes zero sense to me. A few bass LPs is mandatory.

Me too. I have a Rack and Toaster, only for bass. I use the Noble preamp profile, and parallel path and it's glorious. The player SHOULD be the perfect bass rig, but it's missing just enough features from the full units for me to grab one. Maybe someday.

I think it's fairly obvious bass players are not high on the Kemper list. I have several of them, and it's all I use. But a "bass mode" that would unlock several bass only features is needed to claim the Profilers are great for bass. They are OK for bass if you work around the limitations. That's just my unsolicited opinion of course.

The Player would be a perfect addition for me, but if I can't match what I have already dialed in on the regular Kempers, it's of no use at this time. Parallel Path is one of the features I would need at the minimum.

Hey Rigbusters! Can you do us bass players a solid and make a few Ampeg Liquid Profiles? Or Aguilar, or whatever you can find? Kemper seems to be in no hurry to help us out. And I'd love to be able to use my tone knobs again for bass. I'd buy a pack immediately.

They mention Bass players in their new Player promotion web page. But without letting us adjust the tone knobs to match actual bass amps, the whole thing is kind of useless to me. I have to use the Studio EQ now so I can at least adjust the frequencies that match bass amps. But I don't think the Player can use the Studio EQ at all. So until they either let us change the frequencies of the tone knobs, or provide a few Liquid tone stacks just for bass, I can't use the Player. I really truly don't understand why they blow off bass players in this regard. Is it that hard to make a few concessions to us?

could it really cost much more at all to go balanced 1/4" outputs? I'd love to hear an explanation on this. If you're only going to have a few outputs, why not make them balanced? Maybe it makes zero difference, but saves $20 per unit, or maybe it makes them more compatible running into actual inputs on an amp, there must be a reason.

Bass liquids please

For crying out loud, start with ONE single bass tone stack. I don't care who's it is, make a generic one...just turn the stock EQ knobs into bass frequencies is all I ask for. I can't even believe I'm asking this, as any device like the Kemper that is as complicated, amazing, and digital should have some way to make the EQ work correctly for bass guitars.

I don't understand why Kemper hasn't made things more bass-friendly. I really don't. I love mine for bass, but it's compromised with the EQ, it really is. A bass-chorus FX, some basic bass specific help is not a huge ordeal to implement.

Bass players love this stuff as much as guitar players, trust me, maybe moreso. They are open to almost anything, not stuck in tradition so much.

Anyone have any insider scoop? Are we ever going to get at least a few Liquid Profiles for bass? COME ON KEMPERS!

You do have a "mixer" built in the Kemper. I run a single cable from the mixer monitor send for me into the Aux stereo inputs on the Kemper, L + R. Then take the headphone out on front and go right into my in-ear system. With the correct output settings, you get a mix of the IEM input and your guitar (in my case, bass) right out the headphone jack. Hit the Output button scroll to a particular screen and you have the ability to change the level of that aux input with a knob. It works perfect. WHen I get to a gig, we do a soundcheck, and all I have to do is turn this knob to get a new balance of my bass and everyone else. It changes slightly per room I find. Then I'm good. If I'm playing along and want a touch more of my bass, I just go in there and turn down everyone else a few clicks, and I'm all set.

I wanted to purposefully not use a separate mixer as I wanted my whole setup to fit in a 4 space rack. But I used a cheapo Rolls box to do the same thing. There's one in particular that combines a stereo input for your IEM feed, a mono/stereo guitar input, and even a xlr mic input with passthrough. So that would accomplish the same thing without using the Aux inputs on a Kemper. The Stage can do it, but you don't have an Aux input, so you can use the Return inputs instead.

are the center frequencies for bass, mid, treble at least close to what's on an actual typical bass amp? I know all bass amps vary, but I just want to actually use those knobs and get similar response in my ears that a real bass amp would give me. The freqs are so "off" now that I quit using the eq completely and load up the studio eq and use bass amp freqs to tweak things.

One simple, even a generic actual bass amp liquid profile would be good enough. I just don't understand why this wasn't included in the list of profiles at the start. One actual bass amp is it. Jeez. That's not asking much at all. Or, let us change the actual frequencies and Q of those 4 tone knobs. Done.

I didn't bother trying it because I assumed I'd need a down button too. Sometimes I use a 2 button footswitch, one for a Chorus, and as of now, one to tune...but if I could cycle through the 3 slots with that button 2, up, up, up and back to slot 1, I'd be good to go when I don't want to bring the Remote with me.
