Kemper need a proper QA Manager by the looks of it.

Give us an update after you've have had a go on it.

First gig with the Kemper and Laney LFR112 on Friday...

...wow. Such a great piece of kit the Kemper is. The morph feature is superb for tapered solo boosts and the sound is just great. The Laney is brilliant; I had the volume in 2/3rds and it was plenty loud and because of the multiple outs I could feed my iems to monitor myself. Overall I’m a happy bunny.

If you want to see a shameless plug of my bands Facebook page a video of it in action you can check it out here. And please bear in mind it was not only my first gig with the Kemper but the bands first gig full stop.

Which profiles did you use?

Top Jimi AFD100 #34 for all Les Paul stuff, and then the Reampzone PRS MT15 but with the cab from the Top Jimi profile I used for the stuff with the EVH guitar (just so there wasn't an obvious difference in the type of sound, it was just the amp head that changed not the full rig.)

Great stuff. Check out Guidorists profiles to me they are in a different league.

Never tried those profiles before - the demos sound absolutely amazing, will definitely have to give them a go!

I don't have a Kemper, but your band sound right up my street!! Great playing on your promo clips, are you going to be playing in Nottingham at all?

I just tried a load of them.... not as good as TopJimi's Caswell JCM profiles IMO. Those really do have a magic ingredient!

I find for me the TopJimi stuff is great through my studio monitors at home volumes, but are too bright when wound up to gig volume running through our PA. The Guidorist profiles can sound dark and muddy playing at home but really come alive at gig volumes.

@IMC1980 thanks - no plans to play nottingham yet, we want more originals under our belt before we take to the road. We did that gig at a local place with covers (and 2 originals) just to blow off the cobwebs as I hadn't gigged in 4 years.

@kennedydream1980 - I think it depends on your amplification perhaps? I find most commercial profiles way too dark and muddy both in practice and live but I use the Laney which sounds more like an amp. The TopJimi stuff sounds phenomenal with my Laney and possibly the same for people who play through power amps and regular cabs? On the rare occasion I use my studio monitors (tend to just play through my blackstar fly at home) I do find that the darker profiles sound better. I do find on my IEMs that the sound is very bright when gigging the TopJimi profiles too, which presumably is closer to what would be replicated by a PA.

I use 2 RedSound FrFr cabs - but I always do a hi cut at around 7k.

Has anyone seen a Youtube demo from NAMM of the acoustic simulator?

Yeah makes sense. I run direct and monitor with iem’s.

Allowing for the phone mic, that sounds like it has potential.

New beta released.

.....which breaks everything the previous beta fixed.

FFS, come on Kemper. Are you not testing these at all before releasing them?
