I just bought the Celestion G12-65 a couple weeks ago, I had no issues when converting them in cab maker 2.1.1, it was just select all files to convert and that was it

I have a dxr 8 and love it. I at one time had a dxr15 with an atomic amplifire and didn't like the 15. Then I had some alto ts212 and they seemed boomy. I would go dxr 8 or 10 and I play allot of high gain

Also I do not think the solution (not saying the OP says it is) is lack of criticism. If one is happy with kemper, criticism shouldn't make them sell it...
Additionally it's great you did the profiling for yourself and are happy with the results.
You are right and its a huge mental fault of mine. Its like when you work a job and your content and happy with it,but a new person starts and everyday talks about how bad it sucks, its a negative influence, and as said before as humans we do gravitate towards negativity than positivity, so eventually you start to feel like the job sucks. The golden ears comment i made shouldnt of been made, I just have seen for years whether its a fractal axefx to a marshall tube amp people use terms of cocked wah, fizzy ect these became buzz words. Its like the mesa boogie dual rectifiers people all day long their fizzy, muddy, on and on but they will listen to a band and love the tone until they find out its a dual recto on the album. As a new user I look to veterans for guidance and advice and yes their opinions matter, but it seems recently the board got very negative and I finally had to think about it long and hard. My thoughts am I going to be 4 years down the road and all the sudden unhappy and hear things or find things that are true thats being said? Should I jump out while I still can? Then I thought how many bad reviews have I read and have countlessly proved them wrong cause maybe I used a different cab, guitar, or spent more time with settings. It just becomes a bad mental set when there is a lot of on going complaining about one topic. My post was suppose to be a positive twist on this.

I made this cause I almost got rid of kemper, it's been a 3 week battle after reading these negative reviews, I don't hear any imperfections and thought maybe I suck. I was going to trade for a couple amps but I'm glad I didn't. I have all I could ever want and I've been around the block

I've only been a Kemper user for about 6 months and I'm very OCD on gear. I'm posting this cause lately I've read negative threads and reviews and would like to share my personal opinion for new users and maybe some veterans.
I traded to guitar center a brand new engl retro 100 and evh 5153 1x12 combo to get a new kemper, I didn't want to get a used computer.
I used countless rig exchange profiles and bought around 9 from different makers. They're all good but in the end they're profiling they're tone from the amp, once you introduce kempers eq and gain adjustments it quickly no longer becomes that amp. Also these makers run through a preamp and daw to make their profiles which colors and changes the overall sound, tone, and feel.
Once I got accustomed to my kemper I decided to profile my vht pitbull. I tried mics,cords, position etc but fell short. I did a DI profile of my amp then traded the amp the next day.
To this day my personal di profile of my pitbull is my favorite cause it sounds and feels like my amp. Once I tweak the kemper settings I start to "modify" my amp, it can be harsh, dark or perfectly matched it's my choice. I like profiling directly to kemper than anything in between the chain to color.
In conclusion I'm tired of hearing cocked wah, bass heavy or other, your golden ears suck, you get what you put in. The kemper is my best investment I use di amps with ownhammers irs same as I would in real life. My profile kills through my new set up a carvin dcm3000l, I had a crown xls2000 and my tone sucked the equipment used makes a difference on what you hear.
The product does what it says it does, it takes a snapshot of an amp, it does not model

I just got mine, it adds 15 pounds to my rack but with my kemper and power amp hooked up I get 32 minutes of battery power, it has 1060 joles protection and it says can convert bad power.

I know this is a couple months old but I just ordered one of these https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc…N82E16842102087

I upgraded to a Carvin DCM 3000L and couldnt be happier. For the first time I am moving air and feels like a tube amp.

So what do you do if your backup rig fails as well?Oh no, dont do that to me, hahahaha

So from my reading I have had a growing concern on Kemper reliability, once I get something in my head I get pretty OCD about it. But, as we know nothing is 100% so I purchased a Quilter MB45 and had laying around an AMT VT2. I used it the other night in band practice, the other guitarist uses a Mesa 50 Cal+, and the Micro Block 45 more than hung in practice, we play loud, the music we play is a mix of old school punk/hardcore with a 90s thrash crossover. This whole rig is just 2 pedals and can easily be stored in the back of my rack as an emergency. Very light weight and very small footprint makes this a great solution for a quick grab and go or save your butt solution.

studio profiles include the miked cab, and direct profiles must go thru an amp and a cab, or an active cab that is not flat. The direct profile would sound otherwise like a preamp going direct, that is, YUK!! ! Solid state amps either A/B or D are better because the Kemper profile combines preamp and power amp and a tube amp may colour the sound too much when driven hard.
okay I get that, but back tot he gsp 1101 does it have full amp modeling?
-
The GSP 1101 was (and is, somehow) very good for the price. I still keep it though the Kemper has made me forget about the good old bloke.
I got a question for you on the gsp, do the amp models include power amp modeling or are they preamp only, or is the poweramp only in the cab? I just see allot of people using them with a tube poweramp and not a linear poweramp. They say that the gsp "warms up" or sounds better in a tube amp. I know allot of modelers can benefit form a tube amp but say I can use DI amp models from the kemper into a tube poweramp its just too much coloration.

I would like to know also. I have the same experience on direct amp and studio profiles
