tsachou that makes sense. 12v 1A is too little. Most like 12v 1.7A would work.

As my large Thomann order (I’m building another rack for my home studio, 68 parts of which arrived from Germany) I can now report that this unit reliably powers the Profiler Player:

Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-Adapter 12

Replacement Mains Adapter For Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-12 Pro & I, Input: AC 100-240 V 50/60 Hz, Output DC: 12 Volt / 3 Ampere, Output connection: 5.5 /…

Allenhuish I’ve never heard of a single device that does that.

Audio interfaces and mixers with audio interface capability typically have 3 types of input:

- Mic level/line level XLR/1/4” (6.35mm) TRS combo jacks

- HiZ instrument level 1/4” (6.35mm) jacks

- Mic level-only XLR

All of these are designed to work with specific impedance and signal levels. Your 4-16 ohm and speaker level amplifier signal is way out of the range those inputs are built for, and could very well burn the circuitry at the front of the signal path. This is why load boxes exist - they work at speaker levels of impedance (low) and signal (high), and transform that to line-level voltage and impedance, which is where most recording gear lives.

A DI with a USB output is an “audio interface.”

Allenhuish you could pair your Two Notes C.A.B.M with one of the IK Multimedia IRig audio interfaces and have a very compact, relatively simple solution, albeit not in a single box.

They via WiFi.

At least on IOS, Bluetooth is only supported for audio streaming. I’m not sure about Android, but I suspect it’s the same.

Connect to your Player’s WIFI access point, then try Rig Manager.

It should be safe, as the device you linked to is specifically designed to provide phantom power to a microphone downstream from it, when connected to gear after it in the signal chain.

That said, I’ve never used this device.

let me know if this ends up working! Currently have the SOL powering our wee IEM box only now (the player replaced my Darkglass Adam).

dwo_100 I have the CIOKS DC7, not the SOL. My DC7 with CRUX adapter is reliably powering the Player, along with an Access Virus TI2 synth, Hapax Squarp sequencer, Bome Box MIDI processor and a BeatBuddy drum pedal.

CIOKS gear is just incredible.

I’ve got a pair of these en route to me:

It seems Kemper purposefully limited Rig Manager in this way.

There’s no reason I’m aware of that the full functionality of the Rig Manager couldn’t be available in an IOS app, other than product management decisions and/or limited engineering resources.

Yes, it is possible to configure the KP1 as a volume pedal when the wah effect is inactive.

Page 70 of the Player manual:

Connecting an Expression Pedal

The PROFILER Player features an input for the direct connection of an expression pedal. This can be configured in System Settings available in Rig Manager.

The Pedal Input is already preassigned as a combined Wah, and Volume Pedal. This is achieved by assigning the Wah Pedal function and activating “WahPedal >Volume”.

If you stick to these default assignments, you just need to plug in the TRS-cable – firstly into the pedal, then into the Player. Afterwards, you should perform a full sweep of the pedal to perform an automatic calibration.

The two functions “Wah Pedal” and “Volume Pedal” are mutually exclusive. As soon as a Wah effect is active, the

Wah Pedal controls this effect, while volume stays flat. As soon as there is no Wah effect in the current Rig, or if the Wah effect is switched off, the Wah Pedal defaults to controlling volume.

It will work in either 9v or 12v.

The Crux includes the extension cable to connect to the DC7, as well as the 5.5/2.1 center-negative cable for the Player. It’s all in the box.

What’s not clear from this video is what we can expect on the Player. Did I miss something?

HELL-G will we see enhanced functionality in the IOS and Android versions in the future?

Some of us prefer not to put a computer in the music picture.

Quote from TobiasBales

It does, I had the DC7 under it before

You can think of the DC7 and SOL as "electrically the same" but 7 or 5 outputs that behave identical. The DC7 then also has a USB out for charging and their "aux port" which allows you to connect the crux to it.

As long as you have 3 of the CIOKS 8800 parallel cables it should be fine.

You need 4 of the ports, regardless of whether you’re using a DC7 or a SOL.

Ruefus you are so right!

I own both a Tonex and a Kemper Profiler Player.

I loaded the Tonex with Amalgam captures, and it does sound good. I loaded Amalgam captures on the KPP, and to my ears, it sounds even better. I’ve moved on to Rigbusters Liquid Profiles of the same amp models and it sounds yet better again.

Accuracy (matching the exact sound of an amp) is irrelevant in most situations. As a player who owns the original amp, you may notice the difference. No one else will! On the other hand, accurate recreation of the amp’s gain and tone stack controls makes a big difference to the player and the listeners (Liquid Profiling).

The Kemper feels like a piece of pro gear, where the Tonex doesn’t. Is that inherently a problem? No, but I prefer the pro build quality of the Kemper.

The amp tone capture technology is important, but it’s just part of a bigger picture. What matters the most is that the Kemper has been tuned and polished by one of the best pairs of ears in the business, Cristoph Kemper. CK and his team understand the needs of players on a level almost no one else does. Kemper proved that first with the legendary Access Virus synthesizer and then with the Profiler. Both are unmatched “solutions” for musicians playing live and in the studio, or for just plain old fun.

But as they say, horses for courses (to each his own).

rma_100 there is no double tap function currently.

If you had a MIDI pedal, this could be pretty easy to do, depending on how flexible the MIDI pedal is.

I did a bit of research on the Access Virus site, which may be highly relevant because it’s also a Kemper line. I also own a Virus TI2 and need to arrange the USB network in a rack I’m building.

It seems the key is that a hub follows the USB 2.0 “MTT” standard. Unfortunately, it is difficult to know if a given hub or switch meets the MTT spec or is only STT compatible.

If anyone is curious (can’t imagine many will be), here’s some info:

On Mac and Windows, check your hub as follows:

On MacOS, it is possible to install lsusb command line tool which was back-ported to MacOS long time ago via macports or homebrew install systems: sudo port install usbutils. Once installed, the steps are:

The hub type can be checked with lsusb command. TT information is provided in bDeviceProtocol field of the device descriptor of the hub in the question. Alternatively, one can run lsusb -v | grep TT or lsusb -v | grep bDeviceProtocol for the list of the bDeviceProtocol fields for all connected devices.

On Windows, you can check if your hub has this feature using the Windows Device Manager. Look for the words "Hub has multiple TTs" in the Advanced tab:

Has anyone succeeded in connecting Rig Manager on a Mac to the Player through a USB hub?

How about using the Player as an audio interface to a DAW through a USB hub?

Thanks in advance!

Is the Liquid Profile on Rig Exchange called “RB - AC30 63 Crunch” by Fero72 part of the Liquid Profile pack called “Vox AC30 1963 Liquid Profiles?”

This Profile is first rate! I compared it directly to a recent profile by another leading provider of Kemper Profiles and it is quite a bit better IMHO.

This has been the subject of endless discussions here and in a number of other forums.

To my knowledge, Kemper has not announced a date or clarified whether more effects will be an “upgrade” and cost money.

They are clearly working on an update as the manual references Kemper OS 11 and the Player is on 10.x.

Thanks both of you for your answers.

I've decided to use "bypass@stop".

Too bad that in this mode the wah->vol function is not available 😂.

If Wah is inactive, Pedal Link doesn’t work?

From page 127 of the Player manual:

 Pedal Link

This allows you to use an expression pedal for multiple purposes. The setting applies to an expression pedal connected to the pedal Input as well as to MIDI.

“WahPedal >Volume” links the Volume Pedal function to the Wah Pedal.

For detailed explanation please refer to chapter Expression Pedals and Foot Switches.
