    V8, yes my discs but rather not say which bands if you don't mind :S
    Room feels nice too, there's the odd room dip and peak in the measurements but not too bad and Ref4 seems to smooth it out pretty well.
    Getting used to the sound in there now and hope me mixes improve...

    Have you tried positioning the desk to the short wall? Made a huge difference in my room.

    Positioning monitors to the best place and (massive) rock wool bass traps have the most measurable effect imo.

    I only know of paid Prometheus (DI) profiles from Amp Guru (which are perfect imo). But you can get free Impulse Responses of the new Lichtlaerm Audio LCFR-150 speaker (made by Fane) on the Lichtlaerm Audio Homepage or here:

    I just love all these isolated guitar tracks, where you can hear all the details like the quiet tapping with the pick to keep the rhythmn...

    UPDATE: The seller said, the smelly cable is a brand NEW original cable re-ordered from Thomann. So buying another original cable is not an option for me.

    For now I stick with my cheapo cable (for home use) until I find a better solution. Despite being unshielded 7,5m AWG27/7 it works flawless, display is bright and no noise introduced. With a POE adapter another switch mode power supply will be added near the Kemper. No problem live, but for home / studio use I do not want another potential noise source.

    Welcome back Tobi. It makes me very happy to hear that you are back with a vengeance. Still can't thank you enough for recommending the primetone picks to me.

    Still love them!! Such great picks! But also like the (very) small Petrucci Trinity picks now. It takes time to adjust, but then they offer great control and tone.

    As you guys know I just love picks...

    Hi, I finally bought a used Kemper Remote (looks like new:thumbup:). But the original Kemper ethernet cable smells really strong (badly stored? Or softeners in the plastic?) and is very unflexible. UPDATE: The seller said, the cable is a brand NEW original cable re-ordered from Thomann.

    I have a few questions:

    1. What is a good replacement cable (5-7m), that fits Kemper specs and is more flexible? Best not PVC, but PUR material. I could not really find something that is easy available in Germany?!

    2. Until I have a better cable (or the original is aired out) I am using a rather cheap ethernet cable (only for home use yet). Everything works fine and the display is very bright.

    The cable is 7,5m, CAT6, unshielded and says 4x2xAWG 27/7. What problems could occur?

    3. Is it recommended to use only shielded cable? Any experiences here?

    4. Is the cable pictured on the Kemper homepage a very old image of a different cable they used in the past maybe? Seem to bei different looking ones now?

    Thanks

    Hi, it's been a while, but here I am again 8)

    The last two years have been horrible for me and my family. I was diagnosed with aggressive cancer in advanced stage - a completely unexpected and irrational situation.

    After intense chemotherapy and radiation everything seemed well. But I got an early relapse and cancer came back. This really knocked me out. The only thing that could help me now was high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation. This was hell! In the isolation unit in the hospital I learned what it really means to fight for your life.

    But it worked and I survived - now I am finding my way back to life. The intense therapy of course had its price: Recovering immune system in my case will take months / years. I am suffering from nerve damage, neuropathy in hand and feet, impaired cognitive and memory abilities, ...

    For the third time in my life I am re-learning guitar from the start... and I hope I can get back to shape. Giving up guitar is not an option yet!

    Interesting fact btw (about how my brain works): In most desperate times, I was just holding a guitar pick in my hand - and that was really calming me down. My brain over time has stored the conditioning: Holding a pick is joy and happiness <3

    2025 has to be better!!

    A few days ago I bought a used Kemper Remote... finally no more "workarounds" :thumbup:So it's going in the right direction :) And I think I will be able participate again in this great forum ;)

    I am really really happy with my "old" Kemper head in 2025 and with all the updates and stuff to explore...

    Greetings Tobi


    Have way to many guitars :)

    But 8)

    ... I am working on my metal skills again atm... and getting more and more tired of fretwear, unplug instrument / changing batteries, adjusting floyd rose, uncomfortable arm rest / bridge, grabbing another guitar for only some clean parts.

    So needed a new uncompromising Metal workhorse that is still pretty flexible if needed :S

    Passive pickups - splittable, comfortable arm contour, comfortable fixed bridge and jumbo stainless steel frets...

    ... the Schecter PT Apocalypse ticks all the boxes for me right now.

    Great songwriting and vocals... epic like best moments of Savatage, King Diamond, but still heavy.

    New guitar in the arsenal soon... while making room for the new one, I found a guitar case hidden in the corner with this "cheapo" inside. Originally purchased to play some slide and blues, it never really got much playing time. But it looks so good that I don't have the heart to sell it for small money. So it will stay a littlle bit longer, waiting for the metal head being ready and matured to play some slide guitar one day :)
