Hey buddy!
I try my best to help as many Kemper users out there as I can, along with making video content on YouTube reguarding tutorial, demonstrations and inspiration on how to get what you want out of it. I tried messaging you privately but didn't have any luck as for some reason it says you're not allowed to participate in conversations.
Message me if you can or alternatively you can hit me up on Facebook at Benjamin Bullett Mortlock. I truly believe it's a matter of finding profiles that really work for you. I'm fortunate enough to have tried hundreds from different sources and sellers (I still have heaps of content to make on different creators). Each profile can have a different feel that may not feel or sound right for you that's what we're all here to help with!
As people have said there are heaps of things you can dive into to tweak it and personally this bombarded me a bit and I got frustrated when trying to make it do what I wanted. So decided it would be great to try and help people as much as possible and inspire them!
Be patient with it and along with the community here and other sources. I'm sure you will be able to find what you're looking for. If you are interested in seeing whether any of my work may help you, I'll link the channel! http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=…j0ggeTH7zK2RTtH
All the Best!
Bullett.
Display MoreExcited to finally be a part of the crew.
I've had this power head and remote for about a week. I have a few tube amps (18 watt Marshall, ac15, vibro champ) and pod hd, plus all the vsts. Tons of pedals.
My first impressions. Positive first.
Way better than any digital modeler I've ever had. No digital distortion or internal clipping issues.
The rest.
Granted. I've been mostly monitoring thru akg 240 and Sony mdr 7506 cans. Sadly. But I haven't been able to take it to the studio and hook up to my cabinet.
The manual didn't seem as thorough considering how complex this thing gets. A lot of the tones are a bit harsh and brittle with my sg p90 and hand wound tele pickups. Ok with humbuckers. Thoughts on that?
It's plug and play to an extent but man, it seems like I've again spent quite a bit of time having to dig down to advanced levels.
The difference in tones from the amps is small enough to me that I feel I don't really need all it has. I kind of wish they would come out with a kemper junior. Just does a bunch of stuff I don't need. I'm not using it for any super heavy music. Mostly indie rock, rock, pop, funk/rnb. I'm into vintage type sounds. I purchased the Michael Britt stuff as well.
Setting up a bunch of rigs in performance that compliment each other for running through various gain stages has proved a bit tricky. The stomp box effects don't really seem very impressive which leaves me having to use different amps for different gain stages. And there's thousands of them profiled with soooo many different variables.
I would love some thoughts. I'm still within the return policy for a few more weeks. I'd love to minimize the tweaking which I've already spent quite a bit of time.
Ideally this thing would replace my amps in a live situation thru my 2x12 with vintage 30 with line going to FOH. And of course to play at home without bothering the kids.
Thanks and hopefully I'm not sounding negative but definitely struggling with this thing.
