Seems a little odd that there are so many Beta releases and still no official release. Is it just me?

my GLDX has worked perfectly with my Rack and remote for years, on all guitars and on all rigs. In addition to cables, check the power supply to the receiver. My connection to the receiver (the barrel connection) gets wonky sometimes and I have to unplug it and re-plug it.

….twice the price or 1/3 more when upgraded.

This isn’t directed ‘at’ you, Larry. In general- I find it interesting how everyone loves and is so *in* with Kemper…..until they do something we don’t agree with. Suddenly they become evil, with no room.

Isn’t that what happens with every new offering from Apple, Microsoft, ProTools, etc., etc.? I think this will settle out after a while. I love my Rack and Remote, am intrigued by the size of the KPP but don’t need a $1,000 backup at this point. I think Kemper could have used a bit more front end PR in this instance.

I should clarify as well ... because the ISP is a Class D amp, it doesn't rely on output transformers that have to be "tapped" at each output impedance to match the speakers. The transistors of the Class D amp output to a range of loads (speaker impedance) and the power just varies a bit. So the ISP can connect to 4, 8, and 16 ohm loads ... no need for separate speaker outputs for each. The higher the load/impedance, the lower the maximum power output.

Here are my thoughts, but it may be best to shoot the question to ISP:

From its manual, it looks like the ISP Stealth can output 4, 8, and 16 ohms. If the Kones are 4 ohms each, then you would plug into the Series amp input of the CabLink so the ISP would see 8 ohms at the CabLink and the CabLink would output to two 4 ohm speaker cabs.

Nobody cleans their remote?

You just need one of these

When I had a large, multi-pedal pedal board, I go through an annual cleaning of all inputs/outputs, pots, knobs, switches, etc. by using DeOxit, a 1/4" swab (a .25 caliber bore mop works great for this) and compressed air to clean stuff out.

Being on the floor, it gets more dust/dirt/gunk than other gear. I'm not having any issues with the Remote, but thinking of preventative maintenance.

Anyone do this kind of cleaning on the Remote? Other preventative maintenance methods?

^^^^ I used the slightly older version of that one (TL-PoE 150S) ... I think it was listed as compatible by Kemper. Zero issues since i got it (back in 2020).

As said, the PoE injector is likely the key. I’ve used one almost from the start and have 3 different Cat5 cables of different lengths (longest is about 30 feet) and have no issues.

When it did the neck on my late 90’s G&L ASAT I just sanded starting with 800 and went in progressions to 1200 (I was taking it down to the wood). Then cleaned it, then used Tru Oil. I wasn’t particularly careful with the Tru Oil - applied with a rag, waited a bit, next coat, etc. after about 4 coats left it over night, hit it with 1800 and did another few coats of TruOil, and it’s a magnificent feeling neck.

I quit using 0000 steel wool on electric guitars after I looked at my pickups with my OptiVisor on and saw all the small steel wool particles stuck on them that you really didn’t notice without magnification - and I was careful about taping and such. Don’t want to ruin hundreds of dollars of pickups with $0.50 worth of steel wool when there are other good to great options.

And, just as FYI, guitarist Jim Lill has a Kemper pack of Brad tones for various songs using Dr Z Z Wreck and a Carr Slant 6 if I remember correctly. Lill Kemper

I got this pack and some other Z packs because I’ve got 3 Dr Z amps and love them, but haven’t yet profiled them.

Jim Lill also has a video where he breaks down Brad’s gear on many albums to help identify what makes the “Brad Paisley Sound.” Jim’s videos are outstanding on many subjects.

thanks. Sounds like the Player isn't the solution I hoped it was. oh well, love the Rack.

So I tried reading the long thread on the Player, I’ve watched 4 or 5 YouTubes on the Player, but I can’t seem to find a clear answer to this: can I load 2 or 3 performances off my Rack to the Player to use it as a small/portable grab n’ go? I have a performance I use for my strat, one for my tele, and one for LP. I don’t use a lot of fx in each (maybe boost or drive, maybe a chorus for cleans, maybe some delay). Can I load those on the player and use it as a limited Rack?

Thanks all. Last time I messed with (maybe when it was rectashaper) it wasn’t that pronounced and didn’t produce that high octave as clearly I’d like. I’ll work with the newer Octashaper.

Thanks again.

curious if anyone has found/developed a good Octavia effect. I've searched the forums and the only hits are many years old. I'm looking for a straightforward, classic Octavia effect (think Hendrix, Kenny Wayne Shepherd on "Blue on Black", etc.). The versions from the old threads are combinations of effects, a bit convoluted, and not as impactful as an Octavia.

thanks for any thoughts.

Is there any worry that vibration from the speaker will hurt the Kemper?

I’m getting a ton of “Black Friday” ads for discounts on profiles from many of the best folks. But none have any liquid profiles. When do you suppose we’ll start seeing those?

apologies if this has been asked/answered already ... tried searching but didn't find a clear answer. For OS 10 and Liquid Profiles, is there much benefit to be had from adding the specific Liquid Profile Amp Model to an existing commercial, non-LP profile if you don't know the G/T/M/B settings of the original profile?

I'm installing RM on a different laptop, and wanted to clarify the above. Do you copy the latest *.rmbackup file to the new computer and then restore that from a fresh download of RM?

Edited to add: answered my own question. just copied my latest *.rmbackup from my old computer to the new one and did a "restore backup" on the new computer in RM. All is well.
