    As has been said above - Kemper's approach differs quite a bit from modelers.

    For distortion/fuzz, there is essentially no point to adding a bunch of preset 'pedals'. The paramters for Drive and Fuzz allow you to emulate (quite convincingly) a HUGE number of pedals. I've been able to mimic my own King of Tone so well that in an A/B test...I get it right as much as I get it wrong.

    Stack two pedals and emulate THAT into one slot. It works pretty darn good!

    This applies for mod, delay and reverb as well. The parameters allow you to emulate (and downright nail) a huge number of effects.

    Its not better or worse - but it is a different way of addressing the need. One I personally think promotes creativity and finding the sound that's 'in your head', as opposed to saying "Well...if that's what a Klon sounds like......OK...but...meh."

    The Bee Gees were actually great song writers. Also Nile Rogers and the Chic organisation. There was some great music dur9the dosco era as well as alot of complete pish. However, the same is true of all genres.


    Best version of Stayin’ Alive has gpt to be Dweezil Zappa’s with Donny Osmond pn vocals though.

    Factoid: Donny Osmond is doing a residency in Vegas right now. Talented musician/singer/performer.....amazing.

    Who ever is working in the background to make him not look 66 is doing a fantastic job. I dislike the massive effort people make to avoid appearing older....but dang.

    .....and the Bee Gees wrote GREAT music.

    I'm unfamiliar with the SDE 3000D, but doubt you need it given the comprehensive number of delay types in a Profiler. Check out the main manual and delay types to see the various types of signal routing going on. So...so....SO much power. One is called dual-delay.

    Any of the delay types can be made to emulate digital, analog, tape etc depending on the parameters are set. Similar to the Kemper Drive and Fuzz. The parameters are what dictates the sound quality you're after.

    Basically a digital delay is going to be one with most if not all parameters set to zero. Mod, chorus, flutter, rate, grit etc all at zero. Modify mix and feedback levels to taste.

    HTH.

    A band *everyone* should lookup is Plankton from Stockholm, Sweden.

    Instrumental Hard Rock. Great, vintage-esque tones. Killer wah, univibe, fuzz and distorted tones. Tight, creative rhythm section with melodies that aren't predictable....but aren't so far 'out there' you lose it.

    I don't think they're still active. There really isn't a 'bad' song, but personal faves right now:

    I'm Not An Animal

    Take Five (Yep....a Hard Rock take on David Brubek's Jazz standard)

    Out of the Sun

    Sound Machine:

    If you’re in the States, the only IcePower dealer is Parts Express in Ohio. I built a 200w DIY Campifier with one. Works great.

    If I’m not mistaken, IcePower makes two 200 watt amps. The 200AS1 and 200AS2. The 2 is dual-channel capable (for stereo). The 1 is single channel.

    Which is better is a different conversation, but a Kemper cab sim and IR are different things. An IR can be converted and used in the Profiler, but converting a Kemper cab sim to an IR is something I'm not aware of. Could be.

    My suggestion would be to spend some time combing through Rig Exchange for amps/cabs that can be used for your chosen genre. I've come to worry FAR less as to the make/model of an amp or speaker than I do the sound I hear. One of my favorite cabs is actually a Kemper sim of a Hughes and Kettner Redbox.....which is a sim of its own.

    Monitor cab off removes the Cab section from that signal path.

    That way, you don’t get the cab sim that’s part of the rig going to the monitor out. Otherwise you’d have the cab sim going to the Kone or to a regular guitar speaker. Neither of which is meant to receive the cab sim.

    You (Kemper) decided which parameters are the relevant ones. But maybe those are not der relevant ones for me.

    The configuration for the FX1/2 encoders schould be in the Rig Menü.

    Yes. They did decide. The same way they hard coded the effects knobs on the head/rack models.

    If enough people think as you do, I’m sure they’d consider a change.

    it is only my opinion but i see those products(Virus , now KPA) as a slaves of one processor and its programming language. And what was art to extract what could be achieved from that particular DSP is in my opinion also its limits and cage. But i understand and admire passion and proffesional knowledge behind this .

    In my opinion, CK is an inventor first.

    Could Virus have been changed to ‘keep up’. Possibly. Could the Profiler be updated? Possibly.

    I doubt it will ever happen. He *created* the technology a decade before anyone else. He’s ten years on.

    I think CK is looking for his next invention.

    For all intents and purposes - a Profiler released in 2011 is functionally identical - inside and out - compared to one made today.

    No RAM, CPU (which I don't believe it even has), ROM or interface changes beyond the firmware updates.

    They've even left the long-redundant second delay LED on the head/rack.

    I've never heard of any feature allowing you to pick a color or optionally illuminate. Other than the larger units being able to change input/output buttons to blue - which is a very different blue compared to these photos.

    I agree with slateboy. I think the coloring you're seeing is a result of a lack of color correction.

    Please do not see this as general dissatisfaction. I'm a great believer in your products and has recently upgraded to level III. But I think the backup procedure is one field that could be improved.

    This might be a cultural ting, but I react to the language in your feedback. Your "not surprised" translates to me as "you are wrong as expected". Which is a bit condescending. But of course, that might not be your intention.

    In any case, as long as you are aware of the issue and do the tests as you indicated, that is the best you can do.

    By the way, kudos to your responsiveness in this forum.

    It’s difficult enough to convey the correct emotions in writing. It lacks both audible and visual cues.

    On top of that, add English not being your first language? Forget it.

    You *HAVE* to give people a wide berth.
