You have answered your own question. On 10 the clean compensation is none, on zero full. Sometimes you have to turn knobs to find out how the convention is.

Try setting the high cut to 6,5khz.

I still use (almost exclusively) my Marshall JMP1 preamp profiles, made directly from the cab emulated outputs.
So it’s perfectly doable.

There is really no way around doing this in a rehearsal. Your ears will trick you without the sound of the context i.e. the other instruments.
A good long rehearsal where you tweak and tweak untill you’ve gotten it in the ballpark, and then a couple of gigs where you take notes and tweak a bit more if necesary.
I will also say this: Not all instrumentalists are good at judging their levels. We all know the ones who never turn down to their initial rhythm level after their first solo and during the gig they just get louder and louder. You have to be honest with yourself if you are one of them, because it will influence how you set your levels. You really have to think like a producer when listening.
And also, as mentioned before, even though you can probably get close to all the original sounds (if you are a cover band) the tonal shifts will make ot much more difficult to get consistent levels. It’s often better to play the stuff with your own personal sound.

No deal breakers.
There are things i wish for, but since i’ve been gigging with the Kemper for 8ish years, it would be contradictory to speak of deal breakers.

Ok. Also a confirmation that the currently used cpus are getting close to their limits.

the only expanded fx on my whishlist a better chorus fx
Absolutely the number one wish on my list as well.

Wheresthedug That absolutely is NOT my experience. It’s a different experience being close to your sound via inears, than that of being on a noisy stage. And it’s a personal thing as well.
The larger the band, the less loud your rhythm guitar is likely to be, the more boost you need in the PA. But i find that i always need only a very slight boost (or sometimes none actually) in my ears, no matter what is needed in the PA.
And if you are a musician the way i am, you are playing with a trio (less boost needed) one night, and the next it might be a seven man band (more boost needed).
Too much of a boost in ears and my rhythm drowns, while my leads float on top. And why would i be on stage having uncomfortable levels in my ear (both rhythm and lead) in a compromise between PA and my monitoring, thus none of the levels are quite there? There is a solution to this problem, and i’ve pointed Peter in that direction. I have a friend who builds specialised midi gadgets, and if Peter uses a midicontroller, he can have one built.
The grey hardware gizmo controls all lead boosts in my inears independent of the boost that goes to the PA, which is controlled by the gizmo to the left of it. (You will have to view the whole picture to see it).
There is another interesting midi hack gizmo in the back of the rack. One that remembers the last state of the delay slot, and resends that state with every program change, so that delay on/off is independent of what might be programmed into a patch. I always want independent delay on off in my setup while not having to be stuck with one delay setting (which is what lock would do), so i had to hack the system to get it.
Good levels for everyone, no compromises. And while i may now come across as a big headed arrogant idiot; one of the reasons i can play as many gigs as i do, and be in high demand as a substitute guitarist, apart from playing a somewhat fine guitar, is that i have perfect levels for each gigs. More boost where needed, less when needed. And as i said, what is needed in the room is mostly never the same as in my ears.
Burkhard DonPetersen Can i get a medal for the most hacked kemper?

Once every three months.

An advanced chorus would be nice. Lots of 80s guitarists had their chorus sound delayed (about 20-30ms) and it created a very nice doubleeffect, while the direct signal was clean. If there is one thing i miss from my original setup it’s that.
-
Only two pre and post slot efx. That means that i can’t even use it as a backup solution.
No go for me.

Is there a link to the specs?
-
I use the Sennheiser EW-100 guitar wireless and the Shure PSM 300 IEM with the Shure SE535 ear buds.
They work great and no lost signals at all.
The one thing I need to do is have the wireless packs on opposite sides of my body when in use.
Very close to my setup. I echo the recommendation. Don’t have them too close.
-
Thanks Burkhard. Will probably have some pre show time tonight to look into it.
-
Thing is, i might NOT want to change the name in the performance. Just export the rig under a new name.
-
Interesting. Perhaps that's a simple solution for me as well. What's the delay between "stopping movement" and the wah going to bypass?
Now i remember why i am not using the bypass @ stop. I have been using it but it times out too fast for me. Burkhard can i suggest then a parameter for the “timeout lenght”?

Kemper doesn't follow computer style file naming. So, if you save a rig from a performance or copy a rig to a new rig, it just uses the same name as the original. Once created, you can then rename them if you like as a second step.
But say you copied the same rig a few times. If you don't take that extra step to rename, you could have any number of rigs with exactly the same name (although different file dates). You also can't pick a location. For example, if you're editing some rig already on the Profiler, you can overwrite it, save it to a new rig with the same name, or save it to the root of Local Library. You can't save it to some other folder you might have created, or to a different Rig name. Not 100% sure, but I think I have this right. I don't really like how it works, but I can deal with it.
Some of us have asked for a more conventional "Save As" type of approach where you are asked for a location and file name as it's created, but so far Kemper hasn't been responsive.
The problem is as follows.
If you have a rig that you have imported into a performance, then made changes to it, and want to save it, how do you know afterwards which of the two identically named rigs is the latest version?
This is a problem for me because i actually want to go back from performance mode to rig mode. And i do NOT want to connect my kpa to rig manager ever again if i can help it.

Hey i will give that a go.
