Hey! I have a new one!

Wanted one for what feels like forever (probably closer to just around 30 years)

Quick update. To be honest the fret work on this brand new N4 was horrible. I think they rushed them out perhaps? Anyway - gave me a chance to buy the blue Music Nomad crowning file (with the safe center). Worked really good for me. So did a complete level, crowning and polish in a few hours:

Did the polish with the Music Nomad kit as well. A bit expensive, but super well designed. Everything is super smooth now. Love it.

Nice one Burkhard

Ahem

In audio terms, Hasselblad is not like a tube amplifier that adds pleasant harmonic distortion to "warm up" the sound; it is like an ultra-high-end mastering monitor with near-zero distortion, flat response, and massive dynamic headroom. The image looks pleasing precisely because it captures more real detail and physical truth than smaller formats can.

I haven't. But my experience with esp32 boards is that they are extremely easy to work with. Especially in the age of AI.

Thanks for sharing. This thread keeps me sane.

I think next time I get to my Kemper I will try the following, has anybody already tried this:

1. Disable the Amp and Cab slots in a rig I like

2. Put the effect Loop just before the Amp slot

3. Send and return to my audio interface which is connected to my laptop running the TONE3000 app with captures to try.

If the latency is not too bad this may work to do a comparison of a capture to a profile while still having Kemper's great effects and infrastructure wrapped around the NAM A2 captures.

Let us know how it goes.

Ohh on my hit list. Any good?

Still playing it "in". But it feels better and better. It's kind of a raw guitar. But that's part of the charme. Looking forward to polishing the frets. It did spend 9 months in a case before I could pick it up.

There are EQ options with variable frequencies if you prefer to adjust @2.5k

He might be referring to an existing preset affected by the change perhaps?

Huh? I wasn't aware that it had changed? Has it really? I'm a bit sceptical since that would have changed existing rigs significantly?

Is it safe to say that the Kemper can absolutely make fantastic profiles, but it takes more skill than some other devices perhaps?

Another vote for a plugin. Even if it requires the hardware to be attached as a dongle of sorts.

Totally agree to that. No doubt. I also often sense the mods make up wierd arguments for why things are the way they are. Which is what was highlighted above as well.

Quote from Burkhard

Since the Player has no display locking could be a trap. How could one know, that for example the Input section and the Cabinet module are locked while no Rig Manager is connected? How could one unlock these at the unit itself? Such complexity is not the domain of the Player.

I think there is a lot of stuff you cannot do on the unit itself already. Don't understand this argument?

And there are compelling reasons to not have lock input on the player?

Hm doesn't seem like an argument against having distortion sense on the player so it's easier to adapt to different guitars. I used this just this Monday on my stage (that Richie Faulkner flying V is mental). Why wouldn't it be useful on the player when switching guitars?

Quote from G String

Is it a common courtesy? In the DAWs I know you can select a different preset (for an AU or VST instrument). Or, to be less generic, in the Helix Native plug-in your edits are gone when you select a different preset. Just to name a random example. i'm not saying that what you request doesn't make sense but it doesn't seem to be a "common courtesy" either. By the way, we've intentionally let Rig Manager scroll through presets using the up and down keys without loading those. Exactly for that reason.

Yes. Very random example. In DAWs you can easily save every minute to save a state you like. Plus DAWs like Cubase has a history feature. You should try it. Its awesome.

Never owned a stage but wouldn't buy one without warrenty. I want one. But not without warrenty.

Huh. Don't remember writing that. Anyway. I own one now (used - with warranty :)).

Sometimes I have to rotate the foot switches to make them work, but that's OK.

I just use a wedge with earplugs these when we don't have a click or backing track. I just enjoy it so much more than IEMs. Don't really connect with the audience when using IEMs.

At rehearsal everybody uses IEMs to preserve our hearing.

To be fair only the last overdrive really affects the level
