  • A Performance or a Rig for an Open Mic/Jam

    Quote from adok54

    In case I would, perhaps a very good single crunch rig would do.

    For exemple: a single amp, no fx, set in a single performance with different gains. Could be labelled with adhesive tape and marker : #1 “very light crunch“, #2 “light crunch“, #3 “crunch“, #4 “deep crunch“, #5 “very deep crunch“.

    Thanks for your idea. I think that people would expect to have options for more than degrees of crunch. At other open mics I have seen pedal boards with some version of:

    Tube Screamer, Digital Delay, some kind of Modulation, and some control over Reverb.

    Any ideas about how to incorporate these so they'd be switchable independently?

    Quote from adok54

    Sorry to be off-topic, but I would be very reluctant about jammers stepping on my Profiler-stage.

    I have mixed feelings about this. I just had to send my Profiler Head in for repair. I had considered using that and the Remote, as the Remote is a lot less expensive to replace. I could do the same thing with my Powered Rack. However, I play brief opening and closing sets at these shows, so I'd bring my Stage anyway.

  • A Performance or a Rig for an Open Mic/Jam

    If you were setting up your Profiler to put on the floor at an open mic/jam, how would you do it to make it "accessible" to players who are (most likely) used to playing through clearly labelled pedals?

    Would you start with something that would be familiar to lots of players (e.g., a Fender Twin) and then add effects?

    Since I've never played with pedals, I don't know what you'd find on a typical pedalboard, or the order in which they appear.

    It's too bad you can't swap the bottom row of buttons (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for the buttons on the top row (effects buttons) (or can you?). I think it would be more foolproof to set up the bottom row for the effects for a player used to tapping pedals.

    I was in a music store yesterday and noticed that they have Behringer ($40 CDN) effects pedals (driver, delay, compressor sustainer, fuzz, distortion. etc.) I wondered if it wouldn't be simpler to make a stupid cheap pedal board and put it in front of the Stage (and hide the Stage). But somehow, that seems like a lot of trouble and an ugly solution.

    Anyway - how would you approach this?

    Thanks!

  • Remote only powers up when I start in Tuner mode - resolved - sent unit in for repair

    I'm looking for suggestions - please.

    My Profiler Remote flashes briefly when the Profiler Head completes its startup, but then the display goes dark, and the Remote is unresponsive.
    BUT
    If I start in Tuner mode (not Browse or Perform), 80-90% of the time, the Remote starts up fine and continues to work as expected in Browse and Perform modes.

    I have two Profilers with Remotes. The problem is with the Unpowered Head. The other is a Powered Rack, and it works 100%.
    Diagnostics:

    • I've swapped cables, Remotes, and Profilers.
    • I've tried shorter CAT-5 cables.
    • Both Remotes work fine on the Powered Rack. (So I'm sure the problem is not the Remote)
    • The issue happens on the Unpowered Head, regardless of which Remote I use.
    • If the Remote comes up dark, it stays that way even if I remove and reattach the cable from the Profiler.
    • I'm running OS Beta 11.01.53268, but I have reloaded the latest production version, and there's no difference in the behaviour in the Browse and Perform modes. I didn't notice that it worked intermittently when starting in Tuner mode until I reloaded the beta.

    The Profiler where the Remote is intermittent on start is circa 2014.

    I have been paying for an extended warranty on the Unpowered Head for nine years (to the retail vendor where I bought it). I was all set to send it to them. I trust them and have paid and gotten good value from their extended warranty service.

    Two Issues there:

    • I bought the Head from them (and got the warranty), but I bought the Remote direct from Kemper a couple of years later (so no warranty).
    • The problem is intermittent and even less so if you start it in Tuner mode

    I'm concerned they may return it unrepaired, with the diagnosis - "no fault found."

    More information:
    The Powered Rack is working fine, and I also have a Stage that I gig most of the time. I still have the original Profiler head for backup and experimentation, and I still love its look. I also prefer interacting with the hardware instead of using Rig Manager for adjustments.

    It just bugs me that the Remote is intermittent.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

  • Kemper PowerHead to the Cab and PA, the sound is wrong when you turn on the Looeper to change the rig.

    Hi, LoyaltyLP

    Looper Issue
    Press the System Button
    Navigate to page 12/18
    Press soft button 4 (top right above the display)
    Change Location Loc (press the button)

    - Input => sound will change when you switch rigs
    - Output => sound will not change when you switch rigs



    Output issue

    Press the Output button

    Navigate to page 1/10

    Check the settings for

    Main Output (you don't need to change this because you already like the sound)

    Monitor Output (try setting this to Master Mono)

    If that doesn't help, please tell us what happens when you make these changes. Maybe someone else can help.

  • Got a Kemper again after 10 years - what should I know? And PA + guitar cab question.

    Quote from thekrz

    Again, thank you all :) I'm more and more hopeful that FRFR will be a good solution with the Kemper.

    Thank you for being so detailed and informative. Wish I had the funds for JBL SRX series. I'd be very interested to learn the model of the EV monitors if you can check that.

    I have a pair of these EV M-12G (guitar monitor cabs).

    These have EVM- 12L Series II inside.

  • Morphing - Liquid Profiles Gain does not work.

    RE: OS10 Morph Problem

    Morphing should work at Liquid Profiles, if you avoid Amp Model Gain, but set up Morphing for Generic Gain instead, This has the same practical effect, since both gains are linked. You need to enter amp settings and set up Morphing for Generic Gain on page 4. You can do this at the hardware or in Rig Manager. Amp Model Gain will follow the Morphing of Generic Gain correctly. It gets also stored correctly.

  • 4 Ohm (2 x 12") speaker to my Kemper Power Head

    Quote from ChickenPicker

    I'd like to connect the 2 x 12" Dr.Z open back to my powered Kemper.

    But the Kemper says 8 - 16 Ohms at its speaker out.

    Do I have a problem ?

    Quote from Kemper Main Manual v. 10 page 103

    The Built-in Power Amplifier

    The optional built-in power amplifier allows you to connect your PowerHead or PowerRack to 4, 8, and 16-ohms guitar cabinets, as well as unpowered full-range cabinets. It is cabled to the MONITOR OUTPUT internally, so all features of the MONITOR OUTPUT are applied to the internal power amplifier as well. Please refer to the MONITOR OUTPUT chapter of this manual for more detailed information.

  • Guitar wireless system for Kemper Stage

    Quote from PETERFR

    Do you feel any latency?

    2 ms EW-DP + 4ms Bose + 3 ms Kemper

    We use a digital mixer with an additional 1,5 ms, so I would have more than 10 ms.

    No, I don't feel any latency.
    EW-DP at 1.9 ms, the performance is right up there with the best. And in the context of the rest of your signal chain, 1.9 ms is a tiny difference compared to running wired.

    10 ms is roughly equivalent to being 10 feet from a sound source (e.g., a speaker cabinet)
