I know it's not what you asked, but I strongly recommend using a dedicated unit for the acoustic. A Fishman unit isn't that expensive or large. Worth it for a famous venue like that IMO.

The Turbo Tuner is also a great unit to use and allows custom offsets.

I also use the Strobo clip and it's great for most situations. I still keep my old Korg with the Buzz Feiten presets in my rig, mostly because I don't want to shell out for a Strobo stomp. I was secretly hoping Kemper would enable sweetened tunings, but I gave up on that one years ago. Not complaining - I'm grateful for all Kemper do.

I really liked this effect on my old (first modeling amp) Line 6 AX212. It would be great to have that parameter on the Kemper octave effect.

I run my Kemper into 2 inputs on my audio interface, but have 4 spare, so I would just use another 2 for the Fractal in my situation.

Nice one! Great result.

I'd check for a firmware update for the QSC if you narrow it to that. Otherwise I'll leave it to Kemper support.

Have you copied one of them across to the other 2 lately that would explain all of them having the same issue? Otherwise I can't see it being anything other than the mixer or speakers.

It output EQ should be core functionality, not a pay upgrade. Without EQ on the monitor output, the Player is incongruent with the product family and practically incompatible with the Kemper Kab.

The Kemper Kab has no EQ controls, which requires output EQ on the Profiler… without, the Kab is useless.

It’s good reason to avoid the Kab (and Player) and instead guy a Fender FR10/12 which has onboard EQ controls.

Well done Kemper. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The Kab is useless without EQ in the output section? Really? Like you'd get booed off stage or kicked out of a jam session?

Was the original video sample on April 1st?

I kind of agree with this although I still prefer a rack and remote with only 1 cable going to front of stage. Just as fast to set up as a Stage but less cluttered.

That's definitely a benefit (I use the power head), but since I'm pretty reliant on my external compressor and Freaqout pedals I need power at the front of the stage anyway.

I agree. If I had to replace mine I'd go Stage + Power Kab.

All Kemper Wah Sounds have the same algorithm. Everything sounds like little variations of the same "butter and bread" baiscs. It´s ok, you can work with it. I like the different wah sounds in the cheapest Line6 M5...the same eco system goes, like kemper, to their highest priced models. But unfortunately there are only ca. 140 "curated" FX in the player, and from HX ONE till HELIX they have ALL FX to work with. including a very nice conductor wah, wheeping Ibanez model and so on. And I would understand a limited range of FX slots more (just like a HX ONE can only handle one FX at once) than the limited algorithms. Just like friends of mine, I have a kemper Head at home to record and to work with all FX. I can use my stage and work with every FX live. But I am not the only one who would like to have all FX in the player and save presets with the limited slots, just as a backup or for little venues or, when you´re at a wedding and play only three songs.

Interesting opinion. I find the various settings on the Kemper wah provide a good range of wah sounds - certainly more than I need.

... and of course some compression.

I prefer neck SC, then carve off a bunch of low end with a low cut filter and turn it up to let the tele shine. Use any bright fender clean.

On my main acoustic electric I installed a second output jack and put a Fishman Rare Earth humbucker in the soundhole. That lets me take the "acoustic" sound to a preamp and the PA, while taking the "electric" output to the Kemper. It's a really flexible setup for an acoustic 2- piece.

I have one I don't use, but you'd have to be in Australia or NZ.

I agree about Bogner. My Shiva had just bass and treble on the clean channel and bass mid treble on the gain channel and the settings were musical sounding throughout the range. I suspect there was a lot of thought and effort put in by Mr Bogner to achieve that.

If I had to do it over I'd probably get the Stage and a pair of powered Kones. I still love my powered toaster and passive Kone though. Convenient in some situations as I can just plug into a guitar cab and go.

Also remember that "real amps" tend to be LOUD, and that always sounds better than low volume. When I played tube amps I always thought the improvement in tone due to turning up was due to the tubes being pushed, but now I think it's mostly the increased volume that makes it sound better.

It all sounds good through the PA at gig levels, either a tube amp with a mic or the Kemper direct. With the Kemper we can hear ourselves on stage when we sing.
