Hi there!
1. Tweak, tweak, tweak and tweak. Turn every knob and if you like it, keep it that way. If you end up with an muddy/crazy tone, start over again.
2. Pay for some good standard rigs (guidorist is amazing)
3. Try your sounds on different speakers; headphones, in ears, active monitor cabs, live PA, even record it and try it in your car. And then tweak again 
happy to see that you find your solution in the and! I just wanted to say two things;
1. It was quite fun to read this topic. Almost feel like a tv serie where you follow the main character’s self reflection haha.
2. I think you have to find the right tone that works for you at your place in your situation. I think it is the work for a sound engineer to make it work in a mix with a band or in a record. But maybe people will disagree this but I’m courious what their opinions will be then.
Agree with some of the earlier posts:
- A studio/graphic EQ in input/output section (save soms slots)
- A better way to connect ipad/iphone app to kemper head (USB dongle?)
- Better way for browsing trough rigs in RM
Some excellent choices there
Haha, thanks!
Well I tought it would be nice to give you some feedback. I looked up a couple of your profiles (and bought some of Guidorist, didn't regret that).
I ended up making a couple of rigs, all from clean to break down the house:
- Bogner Goldfinger 45 (M Britt)
- Bogner XTC blue (Guidorist)
- Orange Rockaverb 50 (Guidorist)
- Marshall JCM800 (M Britt)
- Friedman Pink Taco (M Britt)
Will try them all during rehearsal and gigs. Will catch up with you after!
same here.
Mars Golub Crnch for a LOT of stuff.
More Gain AC20 with reduced gain for cleaner but not super clean stuff.
TD compressed DI funk tone I don't remember the name right now for super clean stuff and the TD Rammstein rig for heavy stuff.
hth
And those are all Rig Pack profiles?
I'm in a similar situation. I've settled on two primary profiles, both from Guidorist and both of which (I think) have at least one example included in his Rig Pack in Rig Manager. Guidorist's stuff just agrees with me where others have not.
Use the free packs on Rig Manager to sample various Profile makers. Even the identical amp, with the same settings and mics can (and usually do) come out very differently.
Bognar XTC (Bogner Ecstasy)- His group of Soldano Hot Rod 50 profiles is also very good
Vendra Show (Fender Showman)
- I like it better than his Deluxe Reverb, but they're both really good
I also swap the Fender for a JC120 of his at times. He calls them Rolando. Certain dirt pedals work really well at getting a different kind of gain from it.
Guidorist also periodically does a 2 for 1 special on individual amps. Around holidays, it seems. Normally an amp pack is 6 bucks....which is dirt-cheap.....but 2 for 1? It's legalized theft in my opinion. There aren't a lot of profiles in his packs - but at least for me it's quality over quantity.
I also tend to use one of two cabinet blocks. A 412 1960x Marshall with Greenbacks and a 212 cab with V30s. Not sure where they came from. I'm also not picky/precious about studio or merged profiles. I'll mix and match anything to find a sound. Like a '67 Fender Champ (by HAYS) into that 412. With a Tele.....epic.
Thanks for your comprehensive answer! I'm going to look them up and give them a try. I'll get some rigs ready for rehearsal so I can hear in the band.
In terms of guitar I (I think) have made a big step forward. Recently purchased an Ibanez az2204nw. A great guitar with many options in terms of pickups.
Funny thing, Last night I bought the Bogner Ecstacy and Orange Rockaverb profiles from Guidorist to try them out. Read a lot of good stories about his profiles on the Kemper forum.
Trial and error mostly for me.
What sort of music do you play?
Allround coverband; top 40 and classics. Some funky disco shizzle, some rock, etc.
Hi there!
Maybe a stupid question.. But how do you guys choose all your tones? With al the possibilities and limitless options for profiles, effects, tones, settings....
When I browes through the profiles I own, i sometimes do not hear if a profile is good or not. And when I find a good profiles for that moment, a day later it doesn't sound good for me anymore, or it doesn't fit in de band mix as i expected.
I am courious how you guys handle with this stuff. Looking forward to your stories!
I suspect the driver is missing. Have you tried to uninstall RM, reboot PC and re-install RM?
Running on Win11 here for months
Worked, thanks for the quick awnser!

Will try!
Do I have to do more than just uninstall RM for deleting older drivers?
Hi there!
Since I updated my latop to Windows 11, my kemper won't appear in Rig Manager.. Tried everything, but nothing worked.
Latest profiler OS and Rig Manager is installed, also Windows up to date.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Is the fx loop placed on the right spot in your signal chain on the kemper?
But yeah, in this case you bought yourself quite an expensive pedalboard, haha.
Thanks for your time, guys!
Ah Ok, so when RM is disconnected it won't happen?
Thanks for your awnser!
RM is kemper remote?
You know of it is possible to turn it off? That the rig will load how I saved it (stomps off)?
Hi there, hope you al safe in these times.
I have a question.
In a performance a have a couple of slots with amps. For example. In slot one a play en while playing I turn on 2 stomps (for example delay and boost). Then I switch to slot 2 and play along. When I want to go back to slot 1, the stomps are still activated. Is this new in a update or so?
Can I change it in settings?
Thanks !
I think the last option will work!
It is not much, just a little mid boost.
thanks for your time and effort!
I’m using for my overall mix in my coverband. A little mid boost and presence boost is making my guitar sound better in de mix with al the profiles. So I did that with the with the eq and locked it.
I want to use the same EQ for every rig.
So, I locked the EQ section of my stack in the first performance (first slot).
But when i go to another performance or slot, the EQ changes. It isn't locked.
I think it is since the last update ? (public beta 7.1.7.15562B)
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
