I had a small issue where I accidentally bought a pack I had already purchased. Mattfig was super cool about quickly refunding the duplicate pack, after I sent him the order information for both purchases. He refunded the entire amount, not taking into account the coupon I had used. I let him know what happened, but he didn't want the difference back. Because of that, I figured I'd go buy a pack I wasn't going to buy, to try to make things more even.

I decided to get the Liquid ZWreck pack (https://www.mattfig.com/product/liquid-zrek-profiles) . I adjusted the reverb to my liking but the profiles were good to go right out of the box. I put a few profiles in a performance before band practice, today, and didn't have to tweak them at all to get great sound. Interesting that something I didn't plan on getting looks like it may end up being one of my new favorites.

They are super touch responsive and super responsive to the volume knob. Easy to get everything from chimey cleans, to great edge of breakup, to pretty saturated only using the volume knob on the guitar.

Did a few songs with the Liquid Fman Plex (https://www.mattfig.com/product/liquid-fman-plex) and the Liquid BE 100 (https://www.mattfig.com/product/lp-be100) and they did great as well.

I still have a few more new packs I need to run through, but I'm very happy with my recent purchases so far.

It means a lot to me that you bought mine! Thank you! I hope you love them!

You're welcome. Thanks for making awesome profiles. I think I had close to 1300 of your profiles, from a boatload of packs, before the ones I bought last night. I love listening to the audio samples of different profiles and comparisons, etc. but you putting samples of the actual profiles out there on Rig Exchange shows that you believe in your product, and rightfully so. There's no way to fake the quality of that. There are a couple of guys that, when they release something, I know it's going to be good, and you are one of those guys.

I did a quick run-through of the ones I had previously mentioned in this thread, and other than the reverb on some of them (which is only a personal preference, not a knock on your profiles), everything sounds excellent! One thing I was worried about, with the liquid profiles coming out, was that I would spend more time turning knobs, trying to find a good sound, than playing. All the ones I tried last night were completely usable "out of the box".

Looking forward to spending some more time with my new profiles.

Code Thanks25 saves 40% right now. :). Thank you! I hope you buy them all

Well, I haven't bought profiles in a long damn time, and that makes it too hard to pass up. Thanks!

Trying to narrow it down to grabbing a few from this list:

Liquid "The" Recto - Special Edition
Liquid BE100 Profiles
Liquid BL Recto
Liquid FMan Plex
Liquid JEL50
Liquid JJ100
Liquid SS100
SunnTea Kemper Pack


Anyone tried both of the Rectos and have thoughts on the differences? Which of those were your favorite Friedmans?

Quote from Mattfig

Nope, that one is generic. There are complete Liquid Profiles in the pack but people were requesting both, so I oblidged. :).

Thanks for confirming.

Mattfig , is JJ100 JBE HG 412, on the Rig Exchange, supposed to be a liquid profile? I'm still new to liquid profiles, so there's a good chance I just don't know how they work, but the Amp Model is showing as Kemper Generic and the tone stack seems to work like the non-liquid profiles (-5.0 to +5.0 rather than 0 - 10).

Still sounds awesome. Just not sure if that's how it is supposed to look.

Kemper support got me taken care of. Absolutely amazing customer service! Used the Remote at practice on Saturday and it's working flawlessly now. Thanks for being awesome Kemper support!

I'd check out the Rig Packs. You should be able to get an idea of what amps/profile makers you like, from there, before dropping a bunch of money. To me, the benefit is, once you have a profiler and an amp you like, you can get a lot of good profiles/performances without having to spend all that time digging through Rig Manager. There is plenty of good content on Rig Manager, but I know that if I buy a pack of an amp I like, from a profile creator I like, that I'm going to spend more time playing and less time scrolling through Rig Manager. Some people enjoying digging through all the profiles in Rig Manager, though. There's really no correct solution, other than "do what brings you the most enjoyment".

Haven't really bought new profiles in a long time, or even been on this forum much lately, but I ran across this thread and checked out some of Mattfig 's new(er) profiles he posted in Rig Exchange, and wow these are good! Nice job on all these new ones!

I run an EQ with a high cut between 6k and 6.5k (and a low cut between 80 and 100). For the acoustic simulator, I have a little more low end and the high end goes I think to 10k, but I haven't unpacked my Kemper from practice yesterday to know the exact number. Experiment will something like that for your gear and room.

I have a failing LCD screen. Kemper sent me the replacement. I got the first two circuit boards out pretty easily, but I couldn't figure out how to get the third one out. It looked like it needed to come backward, because of the jacks. There is a post in the middle of it, though, which looks like it would prevent the board from going backward until it went upward over the post. It seems like it can't go upward or backward first. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid.

Update: The post unscrews. I knew it was something stupid on my part =)

Ended up finding the original inner and outer box in my basement. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Just get a big box and add more bubble wrap.

Probably going to make a trip to Home Depot tomorrow to find a big ol' box. Everything I have on hand is either way too small, slightly too small, or Sam's Club toilet paper sized. Thanks everyone.

Any box for a 19" rack unit should be good

Thanks. I'm looking for ideas of something I could purchase at Walmart, an office supply store, a hardware store, etc. I'm really surprised I don't have anything that looks like it will fit.

None of my Amazon boxes seem to fit the Kemper Remote. Because of the length compared to the width, and the short height, I have a feeling finding a good box is going to be hard. I can't imagine I would have thrown away the original product box or the box from Sweetwater, but I'm having a hard time finding them. Any recommendations would be the best place to get a nice, sturdy box to ship this thing back to Kemper for repairs?

Kudos to Kemper for helping you out with pics! Good luck!!!

I appreciate the pics and I appreciate them not gouging people on the price of the part. Top notch business right there.

Kemper is sending me the screen and I am going to attempt to install it. If that fails, I'll see if my local amp guru wants to take a shot. If not, I'll send it back to Kemper. Most likely going to wait until February to try to fix it though. Kemper sent me a few pictures, and I'm not completely confident I can do it without making it worse, but I think I'm going to try. Awesome support by Kemper and Kemper Americas!

Looks like they are open this week. Glad to see people getting the holidays off though. Looks like I can buy the LCD screen for $20 and install it myself. Waiting to hear the details on that (e.g. if it is a harness or if I have to solder). I may go that route if I don't have to solder. Going to be pushing it shipping it across the country, getting it fixed, and getting it shipped back before I need it on 1/24/2025. I have other stuff I could use, but really don't want to use backup gear for that gig.

Kemper support said it sounded like a defective LCD and forwarded the email to US support on Monday. Haven't heard back from US support yet. It's a holiday week here, so not sure if they are in the office this week.

I would submit a support ticket.

I hope I’m wrong, but that looks like a failing LCD. Absolutely nothing to be done other than have it replaced.

I did. I'm out of warranty by about half a year. Curious to see if anyone else had this issue, and what the cost and experience was like getting it fixed. I have a few weeks before my next gig, but it is a bigger one (for me anyway) so I really don't want to use backup gear at it.
