It says it very clearly here that OG users will get some upgrades.

Hi all,

The official announcement says that OG Kemper users get the following:

16 Sync Effect Modules

New signal flow extensions

Timbre emulation will be added soon

However, the summary then goes on to add information about loop recording and 8 channel USB. Do OG users get that too? or just the items in the list above?

Thanks!

Yes, good point - but trying to keep it simple and avoid 2 boxes and associated cabling.

An audio interface that can pad a speaker signal would also be fine.

Probably something like a UA Ox or Boss Tube Expander.

Interestingly enough the Ox doesn't do it, but the Boss Tube amp expander does. Was just hoping to avoid a big box solution.

Having said that the Boss does a load of other good things - the main downside is the lack of a good editor/interface.

I don't know of a device like that. You're talking about doing two different things: converting a speaker-level output to a much lower level analog signal that can be passed to another electronic device; and the converting that to digital and sending that via USB. I'm not an expert on every device out there, but I think you'll have to do something similar to what they CABM manual suggests: put a speaker load box of some kind after your amp to get a usable analog signal, and then feed that to another device to convert that to digital.

Thanks. Yes, you don't need a load box, you can just connect to the speaker in the amp. The cabm will do it by using a small usb audio interface. I am just trying to avoid having 2 boxes.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a device that I can connect to the speaker output of my tube amp that will then send the audio to a USB audio out?

Of course it will need either a big pad or a speaker thru connection to handle the load.

I have a two notes cabm which does it, but does not have USB audio out. The other two notes devices are the same.

Any ideas?

Hats off to Kemper. This is pretty good for original kemper owners. If they brought out Kemper 2.0 then used values would have plummeted.

This way a used full fat kemper for about £1k looks okay value considering you get twice the effects slots and the capability to profile (plus a screen blah blah)

Also, maybe take the DAW out of the test.

Just take the signal from the analog input of your mixer into the spdif and see how you go from there. I find every time I use a DAW it takes me 5 minutes of knob twiddling to hear anything because of some setting or other (!)

Hi there,

this isn't a question, more of a public service bit of information.

I am using the SPDIF of the kemper to play my guitar through it with no problems.

Here's why I am doing it.

I have my kemper set up on my desk next to my computer with an RME fireface UCXII as an audio interface.

I also use a Boss wireless transmitter to connect my guitar to the front input of the fireface as I sometimes use plugins on the computer.

Anyway, I was thinking of ways of reducing the number of cables in my setup and realised that I could just send the analog input of the fireface out through the spdif and into the kemper.

This means that my wireless cable can be permanently attached whether I'm using plugins or the kemper and I have also got rid of the audio cables from the back of the kemper to the audio interface - everything goes through spdif.

I don't notice any latency and the audio is totally normal.

As a side effect I found it really easy to set up my kemper kabinet into a w/d/w rig using my desktop monitors for the wet. Beautiful tones!

I hope that helps someone.

This amp is trying to be a modern kemper style solution but with all analog signal path and digital control. I'm not sure that it quite does that, but it's a good amp overall.

I did a video walkthrough of the different delay algorithms. No comparison to the Kemper (yet), but thought some people on this forum might be interested to see it.

Nice work Allen, that's really awesome stuff and very helpful. Is the wireless access point mandatory or could you just hook the switch up to the home network and therefore existing wifi with an ethernet cable?

I am a little out of date thinking about this, but I think the answer is yes if I remember correctly.

I've just got one and it's definitely weird.

Quote from YusD

Although I found this useful, and its got me thinking of alternative ways of adding Wifi to my rack. The thing that really caught my attention is how your head was in another room and the Kabinet in front of you... how are you doing that? Hopefully not just one long cable 😊

Yes, one long cable

Only really interesting to those of you who have a HX stomp or Quad Cortex (probably quite a few of us?).

The Cioks Crux lets you power a high current multi effect from one outlet and tidies up your power supply.

This behavior began when they introduced the morph-pedal slider in RM. A parameter would morph when the pedal was hooked up in the toe position as paults comment. Drove me nuts for a few days until I right-clicked to "remove morph". Then I just moved the morph slider in RM to heel (red). If you leave the slider like this to the left (regardless of the actual position of the foot pedal) it while not create a morph until you reset the foot pedal with your foot.

Thank you. I will try tomorrow. That will be great if it works.

Quote from paults

If you have a Morph pedal, and it is not fully in the heel position, adjusting parameters would create Morph settings.

This would also happen if you have a footswitch or Remote Rig/Performance Slot switch in Morph position.

Thank you. Interesting. I think this could be the cause. I do have a morph pedal under my desk and it isn't always in heel position. I will test it.

Is there any way to turn this behaviour off?

thanks for coming back to me, but I don't think any of that covers my issue.

every knob that I turn on my profiler or editor creates a morph. Is there a setting that morph is on by default? I don't want to endlessly create morph edits.

Every time I turn a knob on my toaster or adjust a setting on the editor it sets up a morph.

I don't want it to do that, but I can't find a setting on the system pages to turn it off.

What can I do?

On latest beta OS, but has been doing this for the last few updates and I would now really like to fix it. Thank you!

I just did a video sharing the learning from my research into using headphones with the Kemper.
