  • Profiler MK 2 Discussion

    In some other forums (TGP, TGF, ..) it's a commonly accepted truth that Kemper is old, sucks and sounds like a cocked wah, Tonex and NAM are way more accurate and QC is kinda acceptable.

    Well I got a tonex and the cab/IR part as well as the effects are a joke. Amp model is nice but tends to get bright/thin when used live. NAM is cool, but laptop on stage? It works rather well with Gig Performer but I'm not gonna gig with my Mac.

    People just seem to need a scapegoat and null test results give them justification. It's easy to bitch about something you haven't used ever or at least in years. I'm pretty confident that anyone who has seriously worked with a Kemper in the last 5 years will prefer it to Tonex, QC or any of the Chinese contenders. And if you have spent the time to get your head around working with Scenes on Helix or Fractal, because their switching lag is 1s+, you know how easy to use a Kemper is in comparison.

    There's a lot of opinionated, uneducated hot air in the internet. Unfortunately it leads peoples' wallets to some extend.

    I can't count how many times my perfect tube amp rig sounded awesome at rehearsal and then on a large stage with a microphone stuck in front of(or more often maybe hanging down the cab on the cable) sounded like a wet fart. I think I can live without that kind of accuracy.
    But if new technology could improve on the cab and room resonance and acoustic part of things, that's where I'd start to be very interested.

  • Kleinanzeigen Kemper Player alles Betrug?

    Ich frage mich ja was der Nutzen der Verkäufer ist, die Kohle wird ihnen doch wieder entzogen. Oder finden sie immer mal wieder nen Dummen, der drauf reinfällt und PP Gift oder Überweisung wählt?
    Hatte mal nen Hiwatt DR103 gekauft, und der Verkäufer hat als Versandbeleg einen Trackinglink zu einem DinA5 Umschlag geschickt. Die Kohle hat mir PP natürlich zurückgezahlt. Also wenn er sich nicht mal die Mühe macht, das fake Paket von Abmessungen und Gewicht einigermaßen ähnlich zu machen, kann er nicht so viel verdienen.

  • Kemper mit einer Class D Endstufe an eine echte Gitarrenbox anschließen?

    Ich nutze auch die GPA-100 in Verbindung mit einer 1x12" Box und einem Kemper Kone. Mir reicht die Leistung für ein bisschen Monitoring aus. Die GPA-100 ist auch Class D, die Rack Endstufe hat natürlich mehr Saft. Wenn Du die Lautstärke brauchst, dann probier sie doch. Du musst sie ja nicht komplett aufdrehen. Meist sind die Angaben auch Peak-Werte und keine Werte für Dauerbelastung. Wenn Du extreme Bässe und extreme Lautstärken vermeidest, kannst Du schon auch eine größere Endstufe an einer etwas schwächeren Box betreiben.

    Die Kemper-Eigene Endstufe in Verbindung mit dem Kabinet aktiviert im Kemper eine Lautstärkebegrenzung, die das Übersteuern des Kone verhindern soll. Ich habe aber Berichte gelesen, dass sie dadurch tendenziell leise sein kann.

  • Open Discussion - Kemper MK 2 vs Competition

    Quote from Brysos

    I seems like kind of an apples to oranges comparison. The Stadium is designed to do a lot more than the Kemper, but for me it comes down to sound, feel and usability during gigs and I don't tweak much on stage.

    Tweaking on stage - never during the gig, BUT, at sound check, I plug in and go up front and it's horrible, I gotta know what to do quick, so all my rigs are adjusted for that PA. That is indeed the kind of tweaking on stage, where it needs to be fast and efficient, because I have maybe 5 minutes before the other guys get impatient.

  • Can I have an Expression Pedal dedicated to Delay Mix?

    Hi all,

    at the moment I use the combination of Volume and Wah with an Expression Pedal with a switch. If I switch on the Wah, I control Wah, if the Wah is off I control Volume. On top of that I use the Program switches to morph between Rhythm and Lead.

    In my ideal setup I would keep the above explained controls and have a second expression pedal dedicated to only Delay Mix, so I can go from an ambient delay to a rhythmic delay. I already use morphing for other things, so I'd love a separate pedal for just the delay mix on all rigs. Is there a way to achieve this?

    I owned an axefx, an axefx ultra, an axefx2 and an axefx 8 at various times. I even tried the axefx3. They all had a boot up time longer than the kemper mk2. The boot up time on the kemper is relevant compared to that of all the other modellers. I had a quad cortex reboot needed on stage recently. It was one of the reasons I went back to the kemper. It takes approx 1minute 40 seconds, an eternity in front of a paying audience. The fender Tonemaster pro takes about 50 seconds, again an eternity.

    if that is a major concern, my tonex pedal boots in like 5 seconds.
    all the UAFX on my board take longer.
    I think the boot time on a kemper can be significantly reduced by ceaning up the number of rigs. just favour all the ones you really use and there is a handy function to delete the non favourite ones.

  • Upgrade MK 1 -> MK 2

    not correct. Tonex rigs are 39-40KB. Kemper rigs are 6KB.

    And as others have said, just the fact that the files are larger, doesn't mean that they are smarter.

    They will certainly not, there's no mention of that in the specs. Which makes sense, the project(s) has been touched the least possible hw-wise

    Yeah but on the other hand it isn't very logical that Stage and Player have it, and Rack and Toaster not. As Kemper are a German company, I would expect they'd fix that because wer A sagt muss auch B sagen und Butter bei die Fische. Ok nothing better came to mind at the moment :D
