Would like Gallien Krueger 250ML and ADA MP-1 tone stacks in the future.

I'm listing to this and going to Rip the tracks so I can match my Rockman profiles to match.

So, if you want that sound, you are better off profiling a good Marshall with something like an MXR 6 band graphic EQ in front of it and baked into the profile. There are lots of posts about Tom’s live MXR 6 band settings he used to emulate his studio sound on that first album before he developed the Rockman.
The MXR X100 Rockman pedal profiles quite well. I kept the Input Gain slider fairly low so as not to trigger the compression, especially on the clean sounds. Then, just added the comp afterwards in the profile.
I also have an original Scholz Rockman X100 that I had professionally rebuilt and rehoused in a 19” rack mount a long time ago by Paul Lenders in the Netherlands. Military spec rotary switches, Powercon 240v mains etc.
I have used the Clean2 setting tracked up with a real amp for certain clean sounds for years.
Was really happy when the MXR Pedal came out and bought one straight away. I think it does the Rockman sound perfectly. -
Are they both definitely running the same OS?

Here it is... Note that the MK1 is somewhere bad ...

Enjoy !
That’s not right. I have two Mk1 Kemper Stage units, classic Mk1 Toaster and also the Mk2 Player.
I know there is no difference with the same profile between my Stage and my Player.
The other week, I was too lazy to go and turn my 79 Marshall JMP 2203 on to try and make a new profile of it that I wanted with a pedal in front of that amp baked into the profile.
So, I first used my Player in the send and return of my Stage to Profile a Profile I already had done previously of my JMP 2203.
That Profile was chosen as the reference amp on Mk1 Stage and also loaded on the Mk2 Player which was going to be the Profiled amp.
Once the Profiling level was adjusted, going between the same profile on both, there was no difference.
Once I took an initial test profile to see if it would work, I then added the pedal in front of the Player and did the Profile I intended to do down in my studio with the real amp.
There has to be something else going on in that YouTube clip for there to be such a drastic difference between a mk1 and mk2 unit. -
You: "Please don’t tie us to laptops for the simplest of tasks that should be undertaken on the units themselves." We don't tie you to anything because you can format your USB stick using your Profiler. And Burkard takes about pre-formatted USB sticks. Nobody want to change anything. All that's been said is that you probably never have to format a stick anyway, hence there is no real need for a progress bar. So what's your problem here?
I have no problem whatsoever. Was just clarifying what was said. Is that a problem?
-
nobody talks about laptops.
Well, if you don’t format it in the Kemper, then how do you quickly format it to get a clean slate for a backup?
-
True! Are you sure, that formatting is even needed? Any USB-stick preformatted with FAT32 just needs to get acquainted with the PROFILER: You just plug it in and the PROFILER creates three folders (Backups, OS Updates, and Shared) within a moment and you are all set.
Formatting is the quickest way to have a clean slate on a usb stick.
I rarely travel to gigs in the uk or abroad with my laptop.
Before I leave for any gigs, I format a usb stick via Kemper Stage, then backup to it in case of any problems while I am away.
Please don’t tie us to laptops for the simplest of tasks that should be undertaken on the units themselves. -
This is perfectly normal behavior.
First it displays the current progress like mounting the usb drive (2), mounting internal flash (3), opening backup (4), each represented by a orange flashing led, followed by the green bar showing progress of restoring from the backup.
Finally displaying „success“ by alternating green for 4 seconds, before it just reboots.
You‘ve just seen a successful „restore from backup“ procedure.
I thought he wanted to just backup though and not do a restore. 🤔

Hi Vinny!
How does it perform compared to the Kemper's Transpose function? Only tried it against the Digitech Drop which i found a little more accurate / faster but not really worth using it for convenience reasons.
The Boss just feels better and the transposed sound is better. Was very surprised. Didn’t expect it live up to the hype.
I still use the transpose in the Rig menu for playing live but the Boss is definitely better.
Same as you, it’s just convenient to have everything in the Kemper. -
Surely you need to fix this at the transmitter/receiver part of the signal before it even hits the Kemper?
I don’t know this wireless system but on my Shure GLXD system, the output gain from the transmitter is stored individually in each transmitter used and set with the gain setting menu in the receiver.
You need to find something similar function wise as the issue is your wireless system. -
I am very impressed with the new Boss XS-1. Feels and sounds great.

That’s exactly what a profiled patch cable is.
What didn’t work for you when you tried it.
The Pure Booster after amp block solution is also a viable option though as the pure boost is literally just an extra volume knob in the same way as rig volume or master volume.
Yes agree. This what I use for my Acoustasonic Strat’s. I just profiled a patch cable and then the volume was fine.

Be aware that Rig Manager supports the import of Performances into the banks of the Player. So in case you have created Performances with other models, it is actually possible to import up to fived Rigs in one go. You can also import the entire Performance set from another model via backup at that model and restore at the Player.,
The problem with importing many Performances in this way is that for me, I have built most of my ‘song’ Performances for live (on my Stage units), from the same building block rigs (mainly 3 or 4 of my own profiled rigs) but then tailored them to each individual song. Let’s say 25 songs that make up the building blocks of a set with some songs coming in and out of the set.
Once you import many Performances to cover these songs in the Player, all Performance names are stripped out as well as Master Tempo and such things.
So, the Player ends up populated with hundreds of (for me) identically named batches of rigs in the slots.
It’s unwieldy and messy and every rig needs renaming and the Master Tempo settings that are now missing need to be manually entered. For every rig. For every song.
Then, we come to the nightmare of the setlist changing night to night. Once all those rigs have been imported, renamed and edited (from my Stage units), I find it next to impossible to move them around easily or quickly to keep the song structure that they came from.
So, while I really wanted to toy with the idea of using my Player for some of our fly gigs, it’s just not practical and the Stage units travel instead.
It really needs some thought as to how to make it possible on a day to day basis of shuffling rigs grouped as songs around.
Have it all here. Wired up on a Pedaltrain Metro 16. Waiting to be used. Even bought the Retrovision screen to make this possible. Player, Kemper dual Switch, Pedal Power 3 and a Shure GLX-D6Still grabbing the flight case containing the Stage from the studio though. That doesn’t bother me, it’s a great system and works fine every single gig. Be much easier and cheaper through the airport with the Player pedalboard in a backpack.

Are they both units on the same OS version?
The only time I have seen a thing similar is on two Kemper Stage units when my backup from a newer OS was installed on a Stage with an older OS. Everything was populated with Rigs labelled as Crunch.
Once I updated that particular Stage to the latest OS, all was fine with reinstalling the backup

I'm not 100% sure that the reverb has an octaver: from what I can hear, it's the synth string section that's orchestrated in layers that double at the octave, and that in a few phrases double what the guitar is playing (or at least that's how I've transcribed it in MIDI it so far). But yes, it *is* drowned in reverb
Sounds like the ‘filtered’ tone you can get on a Strat by having bridge and middle pickup selected in position 2 and the tone rolled completely off on the middle pickup. Needs a Strat with no tone control on the bridge pickup.
Almost like a cocked wah but much more subtle.
Certain notes on the fretboard then start to fade into that octave higher overtone during the note duration.
On ‘my’ Strat’s, the higher overtones pop out on the 9th and 10th frets on the B string and quite prominent on the 2 fret on the G string. They pop out in more places than that but for setting up the sound, I experiment at those starting points whilst dialling a pedal into the amp. -
Definitely need to be able to have a facilty where whole banks can be easily be moved up and down.
Needs to be doable on mobile devices too. I don’t take my laptop to fly gigs.
At the moment, my Kemper Stage units still do all my gigs as I need to rearrange set lists on a gig to gig basis.
The backpack sized Player pedalboard I put together sits gathering dust. -
I would love someone to demonstrate how to best reorganise an 18 song set on the Player with the tools we have been given. In my case, each song is allocated a bank to itself. So 18 banks of up to 5 rigs per bank
Better still, demonstrate this on an iPad or phone. I never take my laptop on tour with me.

Del-Rev Mix for one.
Ha. You posted this as I was typing the same. 😂
-
I think even the "esoteric" paramaters are still available on the player via Rig Manager. Maybe I've missed some but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
I haven’t been able to find the Del-Rev parameter on the Player that is on the other profilers. Think it’s normally in the Rig menu.The one that controls how much or little of the Dly slot feeds into the Rev slot.
Was trying to do two separate delays in the Dly and Rev slots in the Player and there was no way of keeping the two delays parallel. One always feeds into the other.Was trying to create 80s style PCM70 Pan Delay and Circular Delays that can be used together but are always in parallel when you do so.
Hope Kemper might add this soon. -
I seem to remember the Stage outputs are about 7db lower than the Head.
