Please disregard.
I found what I was looking for.

Not new, but I've had it for some time and even shared some photos of it back in 2020.

RE: Show your latest guitar

The carved eagle on the left was a gift from someone who showed up early at a gig.

Later I pulled out this guitar. It was a wild coincidence because that night was the first time I had played this guitar live. Nobody had seen it prior to that.

But I got some new shots of this one today.

Here's a better picture that more accurately renders the colour.

Wow that is stunning 😍

Those Brazilian necks are gorgeous. I have a Brazilian 513 which is truly special.

Thanks, Alan.
I let a 513 Brazilian go in a deal for a PRS Private Stock several years ago. I don't regret getting the Private Stock, but I have often grieved the loss of the 513. The longing for the Brazilian neck led me to get this one. It's really sweet with the satin finish on the neck.

Better than I had imagined.

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?

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.

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!

Quick update.

I put in a ticket and got a prompt response recommending sending the unit in for repair. It's en route now.

Best to ask Kemper.

Quote from Ingolf

I’d recommend to open a support ticket.

Just submitted the ticket. I didn't want to bother Kemper over an out-of-warranty issue, but if they want to respond, I'll be grateful.

Cheers.

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!

Beautiful! What model?

Sorry, I meant to put that in. It's a Gibson L5 CES Wes Montgomery. I've had it since the mid-late 90s.

Haven't had this out for a long while, but had a great time with it tonight.

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.

Merry Christmas!

Here's a 2019 PRS 594 Singlecut Semi-hollow Artist Package with Paua inlays and Ebony fretboard.

It was being sold as "mint", and I must say it looks completely un-played.

Oh, that is breathtaking. Congratulations.

I have one in my shopping cart on the Kemper site. I'm just waiting to hear back about how they handle duty and taxes shipping to Canada. If it ends up going through a broker, there's no telling what it will cost to actually get it to my door.

Has anyone in Canada ordered directly from Kemper? How did it go?

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.
