Im curious on these results. I own a powered Kemper, and a torpedo live. Can I use the Torpedo LIve as my DI box eliminating the DI box in between for direct profiles?

I havent had a chance to go into rehearsal yet. Im looking into these FRFR speakers. If I acquire one, can I use studio profiles without any issues? im assuming it would be just like plugging in to a PA, and you get the nice sound you get when you plug in to FOH or PA, or to your computer.

Going back to Direct profiles, and regular cabs live. How can I get the best of both worlds with a regular cab? as in getting the amp flat through a regular cab, and getting the cab and mic sim to the PA?

Thanks,

I will try DI profiles first. Merged profiles I have not heard much of. thanks for your replies guys. I know this device is very complicated thats why I havent lost hope just yet.

Hey guys, ive owned my kemper for close than 2 months now, and in the studio the thing is an engineering marvel. Live... I could not be more frustrated...
Im sure this topic has been discussed several times, and ive searched and searched not finding anything conclusive. I am currently using it with a Mesa Boogie
OS 4x12 with v30s. Let me tell you ive tried using premium profiles, free ones. The ones that come with the kemper. So far they all sound loose, muddy, flubby.
I set monitor cab off, pure cabinet to 0. Messed with clarity, and definition. messed with the output eq. When I get close to what an amp is supposed to sound like, its loud and feedbacky.
I had to add 2 gates, one in the stomp section, and using the default, and once using that thing sounds worse than a line 6 spider amp. Have added a studio EQ in the X section to see if that gives it some character, however all that does
is add more solid state feedback.

Ive read that you have to use DI profiles with a cab, but at that point I cant go direct into the PA to eliminate micing my cab. I have to be doing something wrong, as everyone and their mom loves these amps, hobbyist and professionals alike.
I mainly play Rock and Metal, and own several real amps ( Peavey, ENGL, Krank, EVH, etc), so Id like to think i know what im after tone wise.

Thanks in advanced.

Paults you are a gentleman and a scholar. the footswitch works as it should now that I changed it to channel 1 instead of omni. no latency.

Thanks for all your replies paults. The RF4 only responds to PC changes and thats it according to randall support.
I am at work right now, how can I change the kemper to channel 1, and out of omni?

fair enough, how can I configure that. the controller itself doesnt have any type of reset or anything. one 7 pin midi plug and 4 buttons. Can it be done on the kemper side?

Mods/Admins can this be moved to
Profiler related issues and trouble shooting help

Thanks.

Hey guys,
Ive had my kemper now for a week, sounds pretty good so far. But now im exploring trying to control slots I created in performance mode. Im using a Randall RF4 (http://www.randallamplifiers.com/product/rf4/)
This pedal is very simple, I dont believe it can send any CC, ive used it successfully with a GSP 1101, ENGL SE RJM Switch gizmo. Pretty much pick the button, create your preset, save on the Amp/processor, and itl save on that button slot.

With the kemper, I plugged it in to midi in. It actually was able to switch slots 1-4. I was like perfect! created my slots just how I wanted them. Then I noticed that the switching was not only slow, but there was an audio jitter when switching.
I went into the midi options in system, in the slots. It is set to omni at the time, I dont think this makes a difference.
In browse mode theres no lag, but every time I press a button, the kemper will say "Too many midi program changes!".

Ive also upgraded to the latest OS.

Some help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
