Several times ill find my tone knob gets shifted during transport and I think "Oh no my Kemper or speaker finally fried and taken away all my high end" then roll the knob and all is right with the world

Following. I currently have a nice Vox sound with a harmonizer for the same purpose but it doesn't track very well (unusual for Kemper)

Thanks all, Tried making my main performance last night with all rigs having a new IR of a Friedman 412. We will see how it goes...

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been asked already, How many of you use the same "cab" block for all of your rigs when playing live? I know Michael Britt states he does this to prevent massive EQ shifts when playing live between multiple amps. I currently use the cabinets that come with each rig and notice slight EQ shifts, considering moving to a single one.

Thoughts?

I've been wondering this as well. Looking for something new and more compact hopefully. I even briefly considered (gasp) the quad cortex. Patiently waiting for new Kemper as it is my first love

I think this is how things are changing...I have mentioned before that a support band turned up and the guitarist had a marshall with 2 4x12's and some other slave combo, all on full chat...the sound engineer was freaking out because the backline was out of control and fully bleeding into the FOH sound. He told him to turn down multiple times but he resisted because it was the only way he could get "his sound"...

Went through the same recently. Band after showed up with a huge rig after my relatively silent set and the sound guy was not excited. I do sound as well and recently had a guy have his twin blaring on stage and I remembered " This is why I switched to Kemper" among many other reasons.

Highly recommend the british audio remote cables. They lay flat like mic cables, much more manageable.

Thanks all for the input! Fortunately I am in a great position to move this. Have some decent Ultimate Ears (Would like to upgrade) and a dedicated in ear rig with our own mixer, gonna try this approach for a few gigs before bringing my cab back, if I do at all. Maybe this is my opportunity to finally move to just a Kemper stage.....Possibilities!

Hi all,

Long time listener, first time caller . I am at a crossroads in my Kemper life, and don't know who else to turn to.

I recently somehow blew the speaker that I have been using for the past 4 years to assist in monitoring my Kemper power rack (Celestion Creamback 65W)

I played the gig after I found I had blown the speaker using only IEMs. It was fine, different feeling completely, but fine.

Overall I barely use any on stage volume, really just there for a little feeling and insurance in case my ears aren't particularly good one night.

Anybody out there switch from using a cab to completely direct only through IEMs? Would love to hear your thoughts!

1. Definition control is your best friend.

2. Try random profiles, you might love them.

3. ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP, ESPECIALLY USING RIG MANAGER

Something happened to me recently at a gig. I was previewing MBritts new EL84 Pack and shut off my Kemper and it had replaced my main performance for the band I was gigging with that night. I have backups but I was peeved. 15 minutes later it switched back to the original performance.

I've learned to just give in to the anarchy of rig manager

Not sure as there haven't been any clear outward physical changes since its inception. Ask the seller?

Side note: I read this as "Dating using Kemper Equipment" and came for some romance tips but alas....

The usual guitar input would be your best bet, just make sure the output gain on your receiver is down to instrument level

I currently use a Mouse on a clean profile to add a extreme synth style distortion. Definitely boosts my volume. But yes, most other drives don't do nearly as much as a normal drive and amp would do.

There is a button in the rotary effect menu to toggle between slow and fast. Top left I believe. you can also map it to the looper button (what I do ) or an external footswitch in settings.

This has happened to me multiple times. I always make a backup of my performance as a fail safe before hand. Its awful

So you just mic your cab then?

No I still use direct outs. To me the difference is minimal (I do prefer through my cab) and live the convenience aspect outweighs the tonal difference

I totally get this. I almost went down the rabbit hole of switching all my cabs to recreate the 1x12 friedman cab I use live. But I have since resisted because better is the enemy of good.

Haha. That is definitely a yes. I loved my Bradshaw systems back then but I would have dumped them all back in the day if I could have had the Kemper. ?

Do you currently use cabs on stage? Did you with your old systems?

The Kemper stage is perfect if you have enough space on the stage. Most time we don‘t have it. That’s the reason I am still using my toaster. Would definitely buy a kemper mini. A second guitar input would be also great.

This. I love the idea of a stage especially on silent stages. However. I frequently have more space available at the back of the stage rather than the front, which is why I have stuck with a power rack and remote setup
