Well ... according to the Website - it will outdo everything - including NAM ... and I quote:-

" More than 100,000 individual frequency points meticulously analyzed for the most precise amp recreation ever achieved "

This is an absolute statement ..... there are no disclaimers or ifs or buts or maybe's or qualifications etc... ..... they are clearly stating it will be better than everything else ... period ..... they have taken the ball themselves and put it in their own side of the court.

Once the new MK2 Profiling drops, I expect numerous comparative MK2 vs NAM vs Tonex Null tests to be all over Y/T - so it will be either a "yes it is" -or- "no it isn't"

If they don't deliver on this, its not going to do their credibility / reputation / product claims any good.

In my experience they always deliver what they say. I'm really excited about this.

FWIW I've always loved the Kemper layout. To be able to incorporate the sheer flexibility into a physical device UI the way they have is remarkable. Might take a bit more investment to learn than a touchscreen, but then it's faster.

It's about the sound, also. 😉

Buy what makes you happy.

I have zero need for another lush user interface since I have that on my PC, phone, and tablet.

... and I'll have a MK 1 power head as a backup.

If it is true please put me on the waitlist for a power head immediately. Seriously.

If it's a hoax it's an elaborate one. I would expect at least one Google search hit, which I didn't get.

What are people using Bluetooth for on a pro stage? I'd never rely on it in that situation for any device. Unless it's a critical part of your rig (why???) I would always leave it off at a gig.

I think you may be off the main trail if you have to use a tube screamer after the Kemper. As requested above it would be good for you to state the entire signal chain from your fingers through to the speakers so we can get to what's not set up optimally.

It's all about how you monitor when it comes to digital gear. If you want it to sound like a tube amp blasting away right next to you then you've got the wrong tool. If you want the PA to sound like a perfectly miked tube amp for your customers then Kemper is the way to go.

I think if you're still unable to get great sounds or know how to connect a basic speaker after 10 years it's possibly not the right tool for you or you really haven't tried much.

If the speaker doesn't plug into power or have a battery then you need an amp or a powered Kemper.

Hi there. One of the things I've experienced (I live in a humid country) is oxide on the contact points of cables, etc.

Is the unit brand new?

How are you listening to it?

I know it sounds dumb, but try plugging and unplugging each cable a few times, including speaker cables. One might just not be making contact well due to some oxide.

I've never thought the wah sounds in the Kemper were deficient in any way. For me the massive flexibility of the effect settings and the ability to bypass at stop make a traditional one trick pony way too basic to me.

Just get a little LED flashlight to make it look like the Marshall is on and plug your Kemper into the Marshall cab for the deaf on stage effect. Maybe a pretend mic in front of the speaker. Then send a mono Main out to the mixing desk so the audience gets great sound.

The 2 main guitar parts in that are cleverly arranged and I think Roger was a Strat and Howard a humbucker type.

Marshall amps I reckon, but some internet people say Orange. One of them has a big flanger effect on it. I think I heard the flanger was added by the engineer, so try it in the Effect section after the amp rather than in the Stomp section.

I saw them live in 1983 and they put on a great show.

Oh, you want 5 outputs, just to be clear. Correct?

PA - L

PA - R

QSC L

QSC R

Marshall unpowered cab

How to understand this: a Marshall 1x12 and also 2 QSC K8s?? Do you mean Marshall - Speaker out and the other K8s Main Out?

That's the one. This is one of the most standard setups. I use a passive Kemper Kab from the red power amp out and the mains go to the PA or my EV powered speakers. The Kone is my monitor.

I wonder if the slightly different input hardware on the Stage treats the treble booster any differently to the rack/ head?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say any approach you take is going to be a compromise for you and possibly one you'll never overcome. As per your comments, there's so much that's unique in Brian Mays setup and I don't think any generic gear will get you there to a level that keeps you excited. Especially the interplay between the hot guitar signal, booster, and amp input.

Not trying to be negative, just want you to be really sure it's the way for you rather than using a lighter amp that does AC30 tones and finding a smaller booster.

Have you tried a Catalinabread Galileo pedal? I think Brian May was involved and it's like his tone in a pedal.

I think you may be in an absolute minority of people that use the looper for professional gigs with a volume pedal. I've never heard of anyone that has experienced this bug, which is probably why they hadn't fixed it before now. So they fixed it pretty much just for you and you didn't say thanks. I get why you're angry though.
