Okay update, using the eq I did get the rumbled I was missing, but I just bought a Rivera 2x12 looks like from the m series. It’s loaded with original jbl e120s, I can now run a cab profile as their neutral speakers and it sounds amazing, even the cabs I ragged on from commercial profilers, there is a disconnect still removing the cab, but now I have full amp in the room and can use kemper to its full ability

you are correct I mean to say I only use direct amp profiles
-
It can just be me and I love a depth and resonance control on an amp but running Matt Figs beod with this eq boost really brings the roar, maybe it’s just the profiles made aren’t as deep as I’d like and this makes up but the profile seems more real I guess. It feels like it’s hitting me in the chest like the amp would
-
No they’re responsive I just don’t like the cab capture, and through a power amp and cab there’s just some depth missing to make the cab move, and some profiles just sound hollow like the frames dragon pack,
It seems allot of profiles are made with big signal chains like preamps eqs etc that don’t sound natural. I love liked DIs straight from amp to Kemper so no extra color but the depth girth is missing to make a cab move a room
-
I need to borrow an amp and true test but my pitbull profile is all I have for personal reference and it was a di profile that just seems weak, the tone is 100% there but the push girth isn’t there
-
I’ve messed with them some but I never felt the change I needed in the cabinet, I’m using the above very minimal gain 1.5 Q at 1.6 and freq at 115 and seems to just bring up enough to make the cab shake a little (I changed to gain 4 Q around middle .707 and freq at 115) This can be my ocd and I’ve never taken a sound class so I’ll admit I’m very green when it comes to sound, but I’ve felt that cab feel lacking and there has been others also when comparing to the reference amp finding the same thing.
-
Through my dxr8 and impulses it sounds great but I need in allot of situations to us a real cab,
I will admit I do not have an amplifire here anymore and haven’t been able to do a true a/b so it could be just my ear, but the feel I always got say through my pitbull just isn’t 100% there in my profile, I’d say it’s 85% there but missing that girth
Even with my comments last night I’m not giving up on the kemper I’m just hoping there is some updates going forward that improves that 15% of the profiling
-
I agree it’s close, but when running a profile through my 4x12 using either a carvin dcm3000l or a quilter pro block in the fx loop, there’s a missing piece to make that cab move and give that low end of the real amp and cab, It’s there a little of it in the profile but seems the kemper does cut some in the low end like 100hz down
-
I’ve tried and just DI but it’s not right it’s still cutting down too much to be accurate, this is why people using a Fryette power station notice better results is because of resonance. Every cab and speaker has a different resonance frequency, and the kemper isn’t capturing that part correctly, well I shouldn’t say it isn’t but at least the profiles I did and purchased do not, could be because of profiling with a different cab

Since doing this conversation though I do finally see this isn’t the unit for me, and I think you cause it’s been a love hate thing and I expect too much from it
-
He couldn’t run enough fx
-
if you read the OP post and learn what he is doing then in reality no the kemper isn’t great for him
-
no amp will ever sound the same, I don’t know how your trying to justify this. I’m admitting I over spent for a unit your trying to justify your purchase
-
and you agree kemper only strength is an impulse generator, if the axe could capture a ir then you would agree with me? Cause you just said only difference is the cab, I’m saying difference is options, work flow, routing, better effects, dual amps etc
-
I’m talking about amp in the room from the beginning and yes axefx in new firmware straight in is the same, the ir matters cause I don’t like what the kemper captures, ownhammer is way better
-
and sorry kemper ts is bad
-
Look when I matched a mark v with my ax8 it was just drive and amp block used and a quilter amp that I’m using now
-
but also had global eq etc, when I played through a power amp cab is when I noticed the difference
-
never did I use peq in axe I did use a filter then put that data into the amp block and erase that block
