My MK1 PowerRack makes a noise when it shuts off.

Have you checked your Input Noise Gate setting?

Have you tried another cable?

From the below description, there may not be a current Amp Model that will give you better results than Kemper Generic. But, you can also experiment with the Bassman and JTM.

The Bluesmaker circuit takes elements from the '91 Fender Tweed Bassman reissue / early tweed Bassman / JTM45 Marshall circuits. The input signal is fed to two preamp stages in parallel - like using a patch lead between the inputs - one input stage has increased gain while the other stays clean and bright, and there is a blend circuit. Then to a classic Fender tweed / Marshall cathode follower, and a driver/ phase splitter that is a tweaked Blackface with looser damping, using a 12AX7 for a looser, more vintage overdrive.

For example, I built the Craig Anderton LM741 opamp boost circuit when his book first was released. It sounded great.

I think his wide dynamic vibrato helps drive the notes to sustain longer than a more gentle approach. He may be using some compression, and/or is playing loud, and may also have his speaker cabinet aimed at the face of his guitar, to further encourage speaker/pickup interaction.

The Legacy amp is a Carvin product. The amp above it appears to be turned on, but he could be playing through something else, off camera.

If the Main Output Setting is changed to Master Mono, you can do this.

If you would like to have independent volume control of the send to FOH and to your IEM, you can use the Monitor Output to send to the IEM, or the Headphone Output.

One of these days i'm going to build a 32" by 12" board and only put the player on it. Just for confused reactions.

And, put it in a Road Case with wheels.

I think it really is simpler to just put a little time into learning to use a slide. For basics, listen to songs like The Joker by Steve Miller, Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh, and then early ZZ Top. Pitch effects can’t really give you the same kind of multi-string interaction and Freeform vibrato that you can get with a metal or glass tube.

As indicated above, a closed back cabinet does not sound the same in a room as an open backed cabinet.

If you like the sound of your Head/Rack in your IEMs when playing live, they may be a headphone alternative worth considering to use when Rig tweaking.

Browse and Performance Mode have separate Input Settings.

Write down your Browse Mode Settings (including any Locks), and change your Performance Mode settings to match them.

You can use Performance Mode to organize Rigs in multiple sets of five, within the Profiler.

Or, you could lower the pickups on the strat a little, and/or raise them on the tele to get closer to the same volume levels.

That is not the way Rig Manager is designed. The folder structure is contained within it, not to external Rigs stored in your computer.

I saw two Kemper Heads when Cindy Lauper performed at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame TV show.

Two things: I ordered a Premier Guitar “Mystery Box”. Previous years have ended up being accessories -straps, cables, tuners, capos, etc. This year’s box is smaller and a little heavier - time will tell

And, I renewed my subscription to taxi.com. I recommend it to anyone who writes and records any style of original music.

Dunlop DVP4 Expression Pedal

Connected with a TRS (stereo) cable to the Pedal Input

According to the Sweetwater website, the pedal functions as an Expression pedal by connecting the TRS cable to the Aux Output.

Tech Specs

• Input:1 x 1/4"
• Output:1 x 1/4" (out), 1 x 1/4" (tuner/expression)

Thank you!

I also suggest the Rig Packs in Rig Manager and the Factory Content. When those songs were recorded, they were using Fender amps.
