If you look at digital video, it doesn't always just look better with more resolution. We just need to wait and hear it.

Yeah, that's WAY louder than mine has ever been in that configuration.

Is it connected to USB? Maybe a signal from your computer as an audio interface rather than the amp?

I can hear a click when I turn mine off with the master volume at zero, but would never describe it as a loud bang. What you're describing sounds like it's not right.

There is nothing that will you make you sound more like the artist , than practicing what makes said artist sound like they do. What is their vibrato like, how are their micro slides, do they sometimes make use of microtonalitity etc etc etc

But even better (imho) is to play like yourself, with your sounds, fulfilling the role in your way. When it comes down to live oerformance, we often have to condence several guitarparts into one anyway, all played with different rigs on the studio version. So more often than not, one particular sound/part will not cover the ground adequately. It’s more like playing the “spirit” of the song. Seek out live versions, and often you find that even the original artists plays something different/different sounding, to make up for all the “missing” parts.

I can upload a song to an AI and get it to create a whole "new" song that uses the same guitar tones, so I don't even need to play it. Makes my 45 years of music study and practice useless, but I don't need to leave my gaming chair.

Guys, there's an almost zero risk that MK2 will be only a subtle, incremental improvement unless my entire experience in life is wrong.

If there is such a risk, it would be because the original is so close to perfect.

It already makes no sense. There's nothing about the MK1 system that prevents the creation of astounding music. At this level it just becomes a nonsense race to perfection. We all need to create more music and less "tones".

Actually refining is the way to adjust profiler to your liking once you figure out how it works in your case, so not having it is rather a mistake on Kemper team.

In current profile setting refining can bring much more natural, middy response than auto-take. Even if you had super ideal device profiling is tricky because if you aim at perfection then even adding extra cable for direct profiling or having extra cable kemper-amplifier changes tone a little bit (though you can try to adjust the amp to compensate the difference), and I am sure C. Kemper is aware of slight changes due to impedance in each singal chain step.

I remember video with Andertons when C. Kemper said basically the idea behind profiles is to allow users to make their own preferred sounds, it was a great review and remarkable approach to clients.

Unfortunately later this forum and fanboys happened. It is like Heart of Darkness book, where disciples praise their god. I can literally quote texts saying that no professional has reported issues in terms of profiling accurracy... oh yea...ML Sound Lab, Paul Davids, Leo Gibson, all cases of "cooked wah tone" or max definition (I always wonder, is profiling not accurate because some variables are set to max). Kemper is good, but not perfect, and all that false nonsense about Kemper being perfect is just impeding product development and making it less competetive on the market.

Some people could have bought MK2 based on the statement related to Summer and lets not use lawyer terms or tricks ("ha ha I they didnt say which year") to mitigate from that. Not releasing 2.0 - things can happen - is at least communication failure in these days of social media. I believe many people woudl appreciate more open communication, Thomas Blug had many issues during product development, was open about and I think it did good for him and his product.

Sorry mate, but this is incorrect and needlessly callous. You don't use the profile refinement feature to sculpt the sound to your taste. You do that with the mics and the vast configurable nature of the Kemper.

If MK2 is more accurate then there should be no need for that.

I don't get what you're trying to achieve with your fan boy comment other than to put people down.

Since 2025 we still wait for the end of summer. I estimate summer 2026.

It is summer 2026. 🙂

I'm guessing days not weeks before release.

So if the actual profiling features have been done for a while now, I'm expecting all of the major profile producers to have been given access some time ago so they can get started creating MK2 packs. That way they can launch at the same time in summer.

That's my understanding. I see no logical reason to profile a MK1 profile using MK2 profiling. Just use the actual MK1 profile.

Quote from mrs-zambesi

@G String Yes, but I was not talking about "upscaling" an old profile but about profiling (with the 2.0 algorhythm) a Profiler that is running an old profile.

I don't see how it would be physically possible to add more detail to a profile that was done at MK1 resolution unless they use AI to actually recreate the sound at MK2 resolution.

Take THAT amp in the room snobs. Like I've always said, it's about what the audience hears.

Quote from StefanErtle

Are we guitarist or keyboard players? Easier would be to hire someone that could play keyboards ;0p

Back to the OP: I would prefer better usability on my player compared to new fx … e.g. naming of banks in RM and a wifi/bluetooth based controller of Kemper with a monochrome Display 🤪, swapping of fixed fx and pitch based activation of fx as well as a attachment to EXP-Pedals like the wah fx.

I disagree strongly from my use case. My powered toaster doesn't leave me wanting any of the things that are deficiencies for you.

You can't seriously believe that there are creative reasons to not do this (not a keyboard player...)?? It's just an expanded palette.

I'm looking forward to using Profiling 2.0 to have a go at the Morgan AC20 standalone model I have on my Mac.

I'm sure I won't get it to sound as good as 'that' profile...

Profiling a model on your Mac? What's that?

I saw them when they were here and the sound was awesome.

The future will be the future, that's all we know. It could be anything.

If the YouTube compression is affecting the clip shouldn't it affect the amp sound as well?

I think it's time to just go play guitar and check back here in a few months to see how things are. I'm sure it'll be great.

We are closer to profiling 2.0 than we’ve ever been.

We'll never be further away from it than we are right now.
