Depending on what you mean, try the bit shaper stomp (if I recall correctly). It has this gate/cutoff-thing going.

1024 samples at 48KHz is long enough to capture the buildup of the resonances within any cabinet
Is it enough to capture how the resonances fade out, though? (just out of interest)
-
Another option is measuring the speaker IR for 100,000 points. This equals 100k/44.1k=2.26 seconds of IR time. Meaning they would be creating a 2.26 second reverb of the speaker. Probably not a good idea. But may give more of a speaker in the room sound since it would actually be a capture of the room. Since running IRs past 2048 samples is not a good idea for CPU usage, they would then be doing reverb type tricks to keep the CPU usage down.
I wonder if this is just the thing; not to get the room reverberations, but to capture the cabinet resonances. I imagine that the resonance of the cab being excited by the speaker is something that develops in a much longer time window than what the speakers themselves produce. The product page mentions (right after the bit about the frequency points):
- Next-Level Speaker & Dynamically adjustable Cabinet Resonance – Capturing the true dynamics of your setup with the longest and most complex impulse responses in an amp capturing device.
...So I wonder if this related.
This is pure uneducated speculation on my part - just for the fun of it.

I've read somewhere that it can affect the low end response and e.g. cabinet resonance. See also screenshot of some AI explanation of this.
Whether it holds up in court, I don't know (or care much, really :-)). This is for cabinet IRs, which may or may not be representative of the profiling process, I have no idea.

I read through this page and it doesn't answer the questions I asked. Specifically about compatibility between Mk1 and Mk2 profiles. It doesn't answer about true impedance in rack and head units.
I mean, to find out about compatibility I had to ask in the forums.There I agree with you.
It’s just that there is so much speculation on a bunch of other stuff that I mentally put it all in one bucket

For the amount of money we are spending on your products we shouldn't have to dig through forums for answers and speculate on things.
There's a lot of speculation, but I don't know why people look to the forum rather than the product page for the answers: https://www.kemper-amps.com/news/95/Introd…R-PROFILER-MK-2. There's even a section called "OVERVIEW - ALL THAT'S NEW IN THE PROFILER MK 2" in the linked page.
Question: Is this a refresh or is this supposed to be the Kemper 2? Seems 50/50 in the forums. But why don't we have a clear answer?
Isn't this just semantics? Surely the relevant question is "what are the new features"?
-
Trying to wrap my head around this. So the two slots after the X and Mod slots can only be a chorus and an eq? I cant use pure booster in any of those slots?
There goes my reason for upgrading. There is not much “freely configurable” over this. The one and only pet peave i have with the Kemper is unfortunately not solved on the mkII, but would have been if i could use pure boost in one of the post amp fixed slots. And if i could could control it via a midi cc.Stupid question, but couldn't you control rig volume with midi and get the same effect?

Refining is a procedure you trigger via a button. You just need to play guitar, it's not a feedback-drive operation
Nuh-uh. It's where you play your guitar, the kemper sends that signal to the reference amp, which sends the amplified signal back through the mic. That's the whole point.
Of course, refining may not be necessary anymore.
-
Why so? You can profile w/o guitar, and refine (if need be) w/o mic.
How the heck would you refine without a mic?
-
Doesn't it show the value before you started tweaking with it? I can't remember exactly, but that might be it.

I am with you guys ..... mostly.
Touchscreen - NO. Color LCD - Yes.
It's a small thing, but in the eyes of many new buyers, it relays the impression of "new" and "modern". I recommend this not for any functionality that I believe is missing, but rather from a marketing perspective.
Additionally, I would add that the current Kemper interface is pretty dated .... not just in its monochrome format, but also in the lack of style and shading that is common in todays mobile applications.
My apologies to those who find this frivolous. I mostly agree as I am 98% satisfied with my Kemper (I still would like to see the modulation engine improvements promised
).That being said, I likely would require more than a fancy LCD and new graphics to replace my current Kemper.
I actually really like the super dated interface (I considered it way dated already when I bought it back in 2014).
Reminds me of an oscilloscope!

First of all, I did not see Don calling your idea "wrong". Second, it seemed not snarky at all, but this could just be me.
Finally, if I was a moderator, not knowing your skill level on the machine, I'd feel obligated to try and help, and let you know that there's a solution for your request, and that it's called Morphing.Then you pointed out that you are already using Morphing on that specific rig so you can't implement it to a different use. IIRYC this piece of information was missing in your first comment, so no-one in the world could imagine (nor would be reasonable for you to believe otherwise) that your request is actually ""local" Morphing besides Morphing".
Had you specified this in your initial request, those who read it would have had a better vision of your needs.I've read the whole thread twice, not sure where you see all this aggressiveness against you.
Well said.
Alternative is to read the original input/request, think "we already have that in morphing" and move on without replying. Instead, we got to a better understanding of the use case. Unfortunately with a side order of pissy attitude, but of course that is ALSO how forums work much of the time. Smart people on both sides of the argument move beyond such temporary nonsense.
As to the request, I like the idea. Many effects already have a mix control, so the current on/off could equate to mix at 100% and 0%, respectively, and the indicator light could just dim at 0% - this wouldn't be too much of a change, or different way of managing both "old and new" setup.
How it would play together with rig-level morphing I don't know, i.e. if setting up morphing which includes the effects. But that's thankfully not my job either
-
I can understand the frustration. It does seem incredibly wasteful to change out the two entire boards etc. And for half the price of a full new unit :-(. 70% of the new price when considering the customs fee.
-
Any chance those sections were locked?
-
Have you tried the exact same profiling chain with a dofferent plugin, or different settings of the same plugin? Maybe there’s other issues than the vst amp itself
-
I would be leary of any drilling - you probably don't want conductive fragments bouncing around inside your device.
-
Yeah, I've tried with multiple types of footrests, but for me, nothing beats just adjusting my chair to a height where I can just rest my foot on the floor
-
I was in my man cave last night, just doing some mixing ( btw I only play at this, Im in no way professional - just for context).....
...and my PC caught fire!
Luckily little damage done to the PC, no room damage. It turned out to be the DVD/CD drive shorting out so I don't think I've lost anything etc. but suffice to say Im shopping for a new PC!!!!
Good lord man, that's not what they mean when they say "burn a CD"!
Glad to hear nothing worse happened

One thing I would try - if you haven't already - is to remove the kemper completely from the rack. See if the issue persists if the only thing connected is the guitar and headphones. Then try a different set of headphones.
If you don't want to remove the kemper - physically - from the rack just yet, at least make sure that all the other rack gear is disconnected both from the kemper and from any power source (not only turned off on the units themselves).

Ooh, a Chris Robertson signature SE
I had one of those some time ago.
