  • what's next

    Quote from Ruefus

    ….and it’s still a beta. Not everyone is willing to take the chance.

    Figure that elevates to a general release, then they’ll beta the new effects, and upgrade that.

    So….three updates assuming all goes well.

    Did something happen over there? They seem to be silent. Has the player been a flop? It is of no use to me, I like, and need the full function of my Kemper. I have had my rack since 2019; this is the least interactive they have been since. still sitting on a beta release since June after saying new stuff was about to come out at Namm.

  • tuner is getting crazy

    Quote from theplayer

    My tuner is acting crazy when tuning my strings. See video.

    What tuner are you using? I use the strobe like tuner. When you get in the ballpark it seems more accurate. Also if your pickup height is too high the magnetic pull can affect a tuner. Also having effects before the input can do crazy things. But no video so, can't really know what's going on.

  • Layout D please

    Still waiting for this. It's the biggest issue I have with the Kemper and it seems like it's easily doable as they did it with Layout "C" I have to do an elaborate setup with 2 Fresnel lenses back to back. Cut to the display size with 2 strips of velcro to 2 1' high blocks of wood (with velcro) on either side so it can enlarge the tiny type of the chosen "rig" I use as songs. I would simply like an explanation as to why this cannot be done. I play large stages with lights.I switch my rig for just about every song. It's really hard to see that tiny type if you’re not 25 anymore.as to

  • Changes to Rigs (using Rig Manager) keep reverting

    Quote from BayouTexan

    After I updated to 3.5.24, I cannot save rigs nor can others. 3.5.24 may be a beta version or not yet posted?? I just updated it about 2 days ago.

    I understand. What I was saying is, I downloaded the update automatically within RM but I did not try to actually save anything and I saw your post. Then I went to the download link that I posted, and it said it was 3.5.20.

    Downloaded, & installed. But I did not want to check to see if it worked because I do not want to mess anything up as I have everything working and I need it for shows I just wanted to know if indeed it reverted everything back and now functions properly.

  • Layout D please

    I'm just hoping someone at Kemper sees this and makes a remote layout "D" where the "Rigs" have that huge font like they use for the performances on layout "C" it seemed like it would be easy? (not saying that is is) It's so small and hard to read at a show. Please.

  • MIDI pedal and remote?

    Quote from aehaem

    The Remote is it own controller-system for Kemper profiler, although it does not exclude Midi control from it.

    This means you can use both, but f.g. expression pedals connected to the remote will work only for the profiler, while connected to the Maestro will work for what you set it up to in the Maestro, including the Kemper...

    Thank you. Your answer is not totally clear to me. I want to understand. I am aware of how the remote works. I use it with 2 expression pedals and 2 switch pedals attached. I want to know if I also connected the midi pedal to my Kemper Rack (that one specifically) will Everything attached to the remote continue to operate as is, And the midi Pedal can work as well to give me more control at my feet.

  • How do you eliminate string squeak on Bass guitar?

    Quote from lbieber

    It is possible to even out the bass volume without compression, but it takes highly developed technique. Of course, it is a grey area as perfect eveness is not possible. There are some very good players that refuse to use compression.

    As an example, Jamerson utilized the one finger technique mainly for this reason. Fingering on one string or minimizing the number of strings used can help even things out as well, but it depends on the part.

    I mentioned it to rule it in or out. As in, Shut it off to see if the problem goes away, or if it's still there. Shut everything off one by one. it's the only way you can isolate the issue.

  • Layout D please

    Yes, I can't believe guys that work on large stages with lots of lights aren't Also constantly begging for this. With each new update, I hope...and...Nope, Not this one either. Layout C shows us it CAN be done. Kemper Guys Please make a Layout D with the big fonts for "Rigs" So we can see what we are doing during a show. I and I'm sure many others use the Kemper like I do, and Need this. I'll pay you, really. Let me know what you want. (I won't tell anyone. I promise)

  • Rig Manager Sliders?

    Quote from Finally

    When they were first gathering requirements for the initial RM, the topic of sliders vs knobs was raised. I wanted sliders, but knobs were the clear winner and I think they're great with a mouse set up.

    On a touchscreen I'd still prefer sliders.

    I use a MacBook with a touch pad. I need precise accuracy sometimes. It would be great if we could click and enter the exact number we want. It's tough and I don't want to use a mouse.

  • Please post your most convincing acoustic settings and technique.

    Quote from BayouTexan

    jon9max your profile sounds almost identical to mine. I'm going to try it on my LP neck in split mode instead of the strat middle. I tried some others on RE with 5 star ratings but I am still not convinced it sounds convincing. ha.

    Good luck. It's why I went back to a real acoustic for two songs. One is a fingerpicking kind of classical thing that was hard to play on an electric. I used to use a Fishman Aura Spectrum DI which was another rig that had to be set up, sound checked, different, wireless unit, input, effects...But the Kemper does it way better. One rig, Just another transmitter on the same wireless unit and it sounds better. Just have to be sure to switch the patch (if it has gain/overdrive)before you switch on the Acoustic.

  • Who uses the High Shift and Pure cabinet?

    So does it override, work with, Have a steeper curve, or does the most "Cut" win out over the global setting in the output section? There are a few rigs that I would like it adjusted. But with those filters in the output section, I can't. Would I have to lose the settings in the output section and do this per rig? Or per cabinet? Or is this just for the "monitor out" "Cab out" section, and doesn't affect the main outputs? Also, there are High and low cuts in the EQ effects. So, for one of my rigs, there then would be three layers of High and Low cut filters, on the cab, an EQ added in the effects, and the global output. How are these working together when they are stacked? Or Not working together? I don't want to assume even though I think I may know the answer.

  • Fender tone master pro and dedicated Speaker

    Quote from Ruefus

    15 years ago, a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb would have been laughed out of the room. When it debuted, people wanted to hate it. But it’s *very* good.

    The market has, and continues to shift. Entire generations are growing up never using a tube amp. It isn’t bad or good….just different.

    IMHO it’d be irresponsible for Fender to not offer something people clearly want and are opting for more and more over ‘traditional’ solutions. They’d become Marshall…leaning on their brand name while not releasing anything terribly exciting in years.

    $1,600 for a new Deluxe Reverb? Please…and….you *can’t* turn it up without pissing someone off…..can’t record it without a bunch of gear….and it basically makes two sounds.

    Or…..A Tone Master Pro for the same money and none of the above is true.

    Yeah, I have a room full of tube amps, some vintage that I'll probably never use (on a stage) again.. That's why I have a Kemper.
