I liked Leo's video with the null testing. I think when the Kemper was designed, they designed it to be as accurate as possible. And as we all know, they did a very job. But there are other things that are more important than a little bit of accuracy. With the Kemper you can have a lot of great profiles from people like Michael Britt, Bert Meulendijks and many others. And I think the Kemper Stage and the remote are designed very well. On stage - and in combination with the morph function, I have access to a lot of different sounds with just one or two clicks. No other 'capturing device' has these capabilities.

But after watching Leo's video it is a good idea to watch this video: https://youtu.be/elAiYDYyWQY?si=0Zbl52EmJMcVqdD_

Maybe they are going to release something like Line6 HX effects. A unit with effects only We will see in a couple of hours

I have been making some liquid profiles, just not enough for a full pack just yet. It's a different animal and while it is really cool when the tone stack models match the amp, it can also be a bit of a moving target if they don't match. For instance, a Matchless is similar to a Vox but it doesn't sound truly accurate with the Vox tone stack. And sometimes profiling at the recommended settings returns a profile with really low definition and it doesn't "sound" just like I think it sounds at the eq settings I prefer. So it's super awesome when they turn out but can also sound a little iffy depending on the amp. That being said, it's just another tone-shaping tool to me. I think it works great on some amps and on others I really miss the midrange from the generic eq. So I just pick and choose what sounds best. It will be coming soon, though... It's just been a busy year of touring so I've been gone a lot.

Dear Mike, could you give us a little update on your upcoming liquid profile pack? The Marshall's in your free liquid profile pack are so good and therefore I think many people are really looking forward to this pack . Thank you!

I read on this forum that a future update will contain a slicer effect. Maybe that can be used to get the Ray Gun effect. If you can use a pedal to control the speed.

I use line6 G55 and Sennheiser EW300. I never have dropouts. But I do check every show if the channel I am on is good enough by checking the amount of red leds on the receiver while my beltpack is still off. And I make sure my receiver is at least 2 meters away from our soundguy's wifi router.

Our bass player also has a line6 G55. She has dropouts but we found out that the battery holes in her beltpack are a little bit too narrow for rechargeable batteries. When she is using normal batteries, she has no dropouts at all.

My most wanted is the tonestack of a Engl Ironball. I would love to make some liquid DI profiles of mine.

I mostly play with the DI profiles and they are really fantastic! The character of the amp is captured really good. And it is a big pleasure to have a whole amp-channel in 1 profile and play around with various gain and eq settings. You did a great job!

Any chance there will be a liquid Friedman profile pack somewhere in the future?

Fantastic Pack! Thank a lot! That Bogner is unbelievable

I bought a second handed FM3 a month ago because I was curious about the possibilities. I also mainly use the same Kemper profiles (Michael Britts and Bert Meulendijks profiles). I must say that the FM3 is a great unit with a lot of great sounds and a lot of possibilities, but when I compare the best Kemper sounds I can get to the best FM3 sounds I can get, the Kemper wins. Maybe the comparison is not very fair because I own Kemper since 2013 and I own the FM3 for only a month, but the amp sounds in the Kemper just sound a bit more raw, more amp like to my ears. Especially in a band situation, the Kemper definitely wins.

Of course your opinion can be different and there is only one way to find out and that is to try out the FM9 for yourself

I love the sound of my Kemper through headphones, but I haven't found a FRFR solution that worked for me. Therefore I use a real cab.

You have some great amps and I think you should try to profile your own amps. There are some youtube vids from Guido Bungenstock where you can learn how to make good profiles.

I had the same problem. I also tried to repair, reboot. That didn't help. Uninstalling and reinstalling Rig Manager solved the problem for me. When you uninstall rig manager, you get the option to keep your preferences and files. So nothing got lost.

Maybe a Fender acoustasonic player telecaster

I also would like to buy a lunchbox amp head in 2022. I am looking at the Engle Ironball and the Engl Fireball as well as the Marshall studio classics and the EVH lunchboxes. It will be a difficult decision to choose the right one

Maybe this site can help you:

Michael Britt posted this link sometime ago.

Same here. I imported the Ownhammer cabs by dragging them to Rig manager. To check if it makes a difference, I also imported them via USB. Same result: The names in the profiler are fine, but the names in rig manager are incomplete.

Here another song from Dino. He and George Lynch released a fantastic album:

Besides the universal Ox Box there are also the Two Notes Captor X and the Boss Waza Tube amp expander. They can also act as a load box and you can record DI with them. I never played one, but I am interested because I still have a Koch tube amp that I like.

Our band has tried to rehearse with Jamkazam for the first time yesterday. It was not very satisfying. All members had various problems. At the end of the evening, our bassplayer and me (both with focusrite audio interfaces, a 2i2 3rd gen and a 6i8 3rd gen) were able to jam together. And we had a good sound without latency. Our singer (with a Steinberg interface) had problems because she heard a lot of cracks. And we only heard her singing in the left channel. Our other guitar player used his line6 Helix as an audio interface, but couldn't even get to play in our session. He was greyed out and the message we got was ´no audio from John'.

We are going to try and fix the issues this week because, when it works Jamakazam is a really nice tool to rehearse in these times. I think it is a lot busier than normal on the Jamkazam servers so that also might be a reason we are encountering problems. Beside the fact that our singer and our other guitar player are no whizz kids

Alright I see a lot of questions about using the Kabinet for high gain. I have been using m50x exclusively since I got my toaster for a few months. I got my kab last week. I’m a rock/hard rock/metal/whatever core name it type guy. Naturally most profiles I have and use are v30 based.

Now maybe the profiles (granted they’re paid packs from the popular high gain makers) are the issue but I’m kinda underwhelmed coming from a 5153 head + 2x12.

Basically on headphones the profiles sound great and lots of nice liquid beefy gain. On the kabinet using a DI profile with v30 imprint it just feels kinda thin and hollow, and like some of the gain and liquid ness is lost. I played with directivity a little bit but not sure where to go from there. I’m not missing any settings as far as I can tell.

And yes I did add a “fake” cab to the DI profiles so that imprint mode will work even though it over rides them. Some of the non DI profiles sound good in frfr mode but not the cab in the room feeling.

Maybe I need to get a real cab and plug kemper into that to compare.

Thoughts? I’m not ready to give up on it yet but maybe was expecting more. For cleans and low to medium gain it sounds pretty good.

I am also a rock/hard rock player and I have the same experience. I have returned the cab. Compared to my Palmer 1x12 cab with a Celestion Creamback or with my Friedman ASM12, the Kemper cab sounded thin and harsh at higher volumes (monitor out at -30db). At bedroom level it sounded good. I have read the manual (7.2) and I am sure I did everything right. I use mainly MBritt profiles.
