Hi,

Ich würde gern Profile erstellen und das mal gern mit 2 statt einem Mikro versuchen.

Man kann ja aber nur ein Mikro direkt an den Kemper anschließen.

Ich müsste also die beiden Mics im Verhältnis abmischen und als ein Mono Signal zum Kemper senden.

Kann mir werden sagen, ob das mit meinem Focusrite 2i2 (aktuelle Version) klappt , oder brauch ich dafür irgendeinen extra Mixer oder so? Die große frage wäre hier glaube ich, ob das mit dem Ausgangspegel alles hinhaut.

Außerdem weiß ich gerade nicht wie ich dann am besten die Abhörmonitore anschließen müsste, um auch zwischen amp und Profil hin und herschalten zu können fürs vergleichen beim refinen usw. Dafür müssten sie ja eigentlich direkt am Kemper sein, oder?

i know all that stuff with the Frequencies and Fletcher-Munson .

But it would be helpful, if you could set dB-level for example. of course i would hear a mid-boosted profile louder than a scopped one, but thats why you boost mids in a solo and not neccessarily the volume.

I think it would work more or less, if rig volume would actually set the rigs to a specific volume. meaning: rig volume for one profile is for example 2. and if you set any other profile to rig volume 2 as well, it would outpur the same dB.
that would be much better, than all the different volume levels, just because a rig was recorded louder than another.

Title basically says it

most profiles have a different loudness to each other. this is very annyoing, escpecially when you switch between profiles to test and compare.

Should be possible, to set the Kemper to one "REAL" master volume, so everything coming out has the same volume level. Unless there is some volume boost in the stomp sections engaged or something, of course.

hell yes +1

i know what he plays, but finding amps doesn't mean, that profiles of the amps sound the same. and that's unfortunately the biggest downside of the Kemper: you can't tweak a profile like a real amp.

besides that, i didn't find any profiles of the Stephenson amp

Hi,

I've been looking for profiles to get a Billy Talent sound.
Speaking of the Album sounds of Billy Talent 1-3.

Using a Telecaster helps, as it was recorded with one, but the Amp-Sound is pretty unique in my opinion.

Can anyone recommend anything? Free or commercial doesn't matter.

Thanks

I'm not nitpicking.

I'm requesting a feature that you don't need and therefore try to name reasons why one wouldn't need it.

you don't know me, my playing, my tone or my setup so can't just say what i need and what not.

I'd like a feature like I described and you are not in the position tell me I don't.
Your Kemper wouldn't get worse if the feature was added....

not a valid point.

i have the kone stuff in my kemper and will never use a kone, so that is also a compromise in usability for me, if you see it that way.

and where's the difference in having on global Monitor EQ or having a monitor Eq in each profile ?

noone would suffer from having that option. if you don't need it, just don't touch it. everyone else will be happy.

well, that would always be a compromise!

so my request would totally make sense and i guess a lot of players that use a guitar cab would benefit from it.

well to make it short:

would it be ok for me to have the poweramp boost cranked forever and just use the Monitor Out Volume to adjust volume , if I always only use the Speaker out? or would that cause anything bad?

Quote from Silvio Ricci

Why not first set your Global Monitor EQ and then put an EQ in your X Slot of your Profiles?

because that would also change the signal going to FOH.

Quote from Hoki Toki

Or use a FRFR speaker ..... The P.A. FOH is FRFR so if it sounds good out front

why not use FRFR on stage ? Mesa cab probably turns every Kemper rig into

Mesa sound-ish rigs ......

because I like the Mesa Cab way to much. I can make the profiles i use sound great with the cab, but i have to adjust the monitor eq to achieve that.

i won't buy an FRFR , because my Mesa Cab sounds great and also looks way cooler on stage (nobody can doubt that

Quote from Wheresthedug

Personally, I think that would be a massive overkill that would make use of the KPA much more cumbersome for the vast majority of users.

better have it, than need it!
there a so many functions in the Kemper that i don't use and never will. for example the Kone settings are only for people using the kone.
my idea would be useful to any player using a general guitar cab.

yeah. doesn't make sense to me , to be honest.

why isn't the boost always dimed and we have only one volume?

why shouldn't i crank the power amp boost and keep it that way, so i only have to use the monitor volume?

I can't think of any situation where i wouldn't want the maximum headroom of a power amp.

Hey,

why are there 2 Volumes in the Poweramp section? When do i use which? Why isn't just one Volume enough?

Hi,

there is a Monitor EQ - we all know.

But what i am lately struggling with is this:

The Main Outs for FOH sound great. I use a Mesa Cab as a Monitor when not using IEMs.
I have to adjust the Monitor EQ to sound them as i like them with the Cabinet. But when for example one Profile needs more bass and less treble, the next profile would sound dull and like "a blanket over the cab". I would have to adjust the Monitor EQ again, hich would make the first Profile sound worse again. ...

I think this could be easily solved, if every profile could have it's own "Monitor EQ".

Are you with me?

Also:
A Resonance knob would finally be so great...

Th big question would be :

Is CK and the rest of the guy actually trying /searching to do something like this?

I think they are relying on their 10 year old profiling technique. All that is being worked on is effects and kone-stuff.

They didn't even solve the Tap-Tempo not in time blinking problem after 10 years...

Ah ok, now I know what you mean.

I should have said: my tone is usually a tone that fits and cuts a mix pretty well.

In my monitor mix i boost the volume of my guitar a little and I'm fine.

Funny thing is:I'm a teumpet player myself and yes, we do like to hear ourselves

But I also need to hear to other horns and the base.

If I could not hear myself and the mentioned others I would not be able to intonate well enough. It's not just blowing air and pressing valves

Well, overall I agree with you.

But I dial my sound the way I like it and I want this exact sound to arrive at the FOH.

I want the people to hear my tone as I like it and don't quite get. Why you would want the FOH to get a different sound then yourself?

Of course you can go with other IEMs than linear ones to make it suite you taste a little more.

But the problem I see is: if I change anything with non-linear IEMs, I won't know how it changes the sound for the FOH.

If I change anything with linear IEMs, I know it will be the same at the FOH.

If you never change your sound with IEMs only, feel free to use mid boosted IEMs if it's what you like, but be careful if you wanna change the EQ

I'm not saying the quad cortex is a better device or anything.

Overall the Kemper is better in my opinion with all it's routing and connecting options, all the effects and so on.

But the profiling itself, which is the base of every sound, is now better with the neural QC and that is not debatable.

Kemper should just work on the algerithms and maybe implement a new way of profiling, where you integrate the EQ of the actual amp. Like taking 3 profiles, one with everything at 12 o'clock, one with everything at 1 and one with everything at 10.

Should be possible to recreate the EQ of the amp with this.

If the sound is difference through your headphones and your speakers, one of them isn't flat/linear. It's just as easy as that.

They would sound more or less the same if they were both linear.

You would actually want headphones or IEMs with a flat oder linear frequency curve, just like studio /, near field monitors.

Otherwise it will never sound like the actually dialed - in tone you give to the FOH from the outputs.

If you look at UE I would consider the UE Reference model.

If you Wanna go with a german brand, choose Vision Ears and go with the VE 3.2 or VE 6X2.
