You are going to have to provide a more scientific test run to see if there is a measurable difference, and that includes doing a factory reset on all devices and have the same exact OS, and double check for the same exact input and output settings. This includes making sure ambient conditions do not change during the tests - ceiling fans, lighting, refrigerators, power loads, etc.

... or just do what Prof. Avi Loeb does and say it's an alien spacecraft.

Also you'll need everything involved sitting in a faraday cage. Which is kind of like being in an alien spacecraft. Or so I've heard.

Why were the 80s so awesome? This is why. You'll need to add a pocket sewn in for the player and a battery pack tho...maybe some more speakers...

Solved: After checking the content with : Power on keeping Rig button pressed, seems that the issue is gone. It sounds again like a Kemper!

Most probably caused by switching off the Profiler in a not proper way.The support guys suggested that.

I've had this happen a few times with the player where there is no 'proper' way to shut it down aside from cutting the power as it has no on/off mechanism. It appears to be that on boot up some sort of service module fails to start up, which is why a reboot always seems to fix the issue.

Speaking of this, it would be great.if when dragging a block into the presets folder, the user would be prompted to give it a name. If you create an output config and drag that into presets it is labeled as output, so unless you remember to go into the preset folder, sort by date, and rename the preset, you end up with multiple presets all named output.

I thought this was going to be a post about sweetwater replacing the hard candy with chocolates.

A lotta people call these blasphemous but as a lefty you gotta jump on things when you can. I threw in some bkp braxas and swapped out the old factory kahler for a new one since the older versions didnt have proper lefty arm placements.

I thinks it's more of the Artist not wanting you to know what they use. When people ask me what amp I am using I just say "All of them!"

Endorsements are all about show. No one ever maintains them 100%, especially in studio. We've all seen it

Amazing playing and a great interview. Bumblefoot plays a few full tunes with backing tracks AND takes you through the actual sounds used in each section before playing.

I remember when Thal's bumblefoot album hit. That same feeling like when I heard EVH for the first time. Sheer WTF!

"but getting a bit tired of the interface and control of the Nano"

IF you're looking to edit and control parameters directly on the device, the player is not what you want as it all but requires Rigmanager for the most basic functions. I may have misunderstood your goals here though. The player alone (without adding additional midi stuffs) is perfect if all you need are a few rigs with limited realtime control for live use. My setup is very basic as it is really just one rig consisting of an amp and only 1 or 2 switchable fx so it really suits me for that purpose. If you need more flexabilty in performance and weigh out the cost of adding controllers it's probably a better idea to look at the stage as others have mentioned.

It seems to me that the new profiling process will require a computer? Or is at least possible with the use of one? If this is the case, I wonder if there would be a 'studio version' of the hardware? I'm thinking a single rack unit with no lights, knobs or switches with a simple analog and digital audio i/o and ethernet where everything is run by RM.

additional info, this issue only happens when the main output is set to stereo, so there is something linking stereo xlr option to master revert. Sending a support ticket.

Unfortunately not. I was already on the latest release when I noticed this. Monitor output is fine but the mains revert everytime I connect with RM. Its workable but a little annoying. Hoping they find something.

I have changed my main output to (stereo) DLY/REV Wet with Monitor Out going to a Kab. Everytime I connect with RM (either mac or ios) the Main Output State changes to Master Stereo on its own. Anyone else experiencing this? Not sure if its a bug or I missing something. I even tried saving the rig after but no difference. (My intent is to use the main output as wet in a wet/dry/wet scenario)

AI is going to force us back to the old days when it was all about the live show. Until AI can improvise all instruments in real time AND shoot fire cannons on stage I'm not worried.

I dont understand people that do not understanding the point of null tests.

I understand the point of null tests in production audio. I just don't see why it applies to guitar amps. Take any number of guitar amps of the same brand and model right from the same production batch and each will sound slightly different. For me in the end its really not about accuracy so much as its about usability.

I don't understand tests or the need to make things 'more accurate'. If it sounds and feels good thats all that matters. I remember the original L6 pod has a killer jcm800 model that was 'improved' when they released the next pod model. Everyone screamed irate until they re-added the old initial 800 back alongside the new, more accurate one. Life's too short for that kind of crazy.

The mobile app updated today with Improvements for future firmware versions. They ain't talking about todays beta. So it is close. This thread's days are numbered.

They'll release it when its ready. Some people will love it. Some people won't care at all. Some people that bought a MK 2, became disillusioned and returned it, will buy it again. Most of us will say this new update is great but now give us this, that and the other. Most importantly, they'll be able to close this thread.

I think AI can be pretty useful. Here I asked ChatGPT "How do you dial in a guitar amplifier":


Dialing in a guitar amp means adjusting the amp's settings to get the tone you want. Whether you're playing clean blues, crunchy rock, or heavy metal, here's a step-by-step guide to help you find the right sound:

🎚️ Step-by-Step: How to Dial In a Guitar Amp

🔌 1. Set Everything to Max

Start with your amp’s Gain, EQ and Master knobs at 7 o'clock (turned all the way to the left).

• Rest the outside palm of your right hand on the left-most knob.
• Shift your right hand rightwards in a quick and steady motion, turning all the knobs fully clockwise.
• Strike an E power chord on your guitar.
• Raise your pick hand to the sky and make the sign of the devil.

🛠️ Final Tips

• Use your guitar's volume and tone knobs too — they can drastically affect your amp tone.
• Use your ears, not presets. Every guitar, amp, and speaker sounds different.
• Don't forget to adjust at gig/rehearsal volume — your tone changes with volume!

Want help dialing in a tone for a specific genre, band, or amp model?

Man I must type really slow. Ditto to what Ingolf said.
