Shouldn't we just have indiehouse upload a clip from the line out and a clip from the headphones out? |

For sure, I can do that.
Are you guys recording the Kemper stereo or mono?

For sure, I can do that. Are you guys recording the Kemper stereo or mono? Depends. Typically 99% mono for me. The exception is effects based washes or character sounds that I build in the Kemper that rely on stereo. I usually treat it as I would when recording a live room amp - mono. |

Pretty much always mono for me.

Guitar amps are typically in mono, and stereo is usually generated by effects anyhow. Occasionally there's a stereo amp with a guitar that has stereo outputs like a Ric or a Gibson 355
But most times, guitar is mono

I think most guitar players balk at stereo lol.

I think most guitar players balk at stereo lol. I bought my first Stratocaster in 1965 when I was 12, and I immediately rewired it for "stereo". A stereo cable went to a little splitter box I built so I could send the middle pickup to one amp and any of the pickups to another amp. I loved it on stage, especially with the two amps wide apart. OK, I was 12, easy to please. |

Hey - I get it. Like I said...half the time, I used the Kemper in stereo.

OK, I was 12, easy to please. Do you till have this guitar and did you have separate volume knobs for the middle pickup and other pair? I'm sorry, I just noticed this question. I no longer have the guitar. I absolutely detested the sound, though it's redeeming feature was that it would stay in tune forever no matter what I did with it. I added an additional volume control so that the two outputs had individual volume and tone controls. I bought the guitar in 1965 for about $240 Cdn, brand new, and I sold it in the mid-90's for about $5,000. I used that to purchase a beautiful Les Paul, an American Precision Bass, and an American Stratocaster (with Roland hex-pickup) that sounds and plays about 1,000 times better than the '65 did. |

Shouldn't we just have indiehouse upload a clip from the line out and a clip from the headphones out? Brilliant idea!! Ok, I'm getting back around to troubleshooting the Kemper. Right now, I've got a TRS out of the Kemper headphone into analog 1 of my interface. Then, Main out L of the Kemper going to analog 2 of my interface, with the Kemper Main Out set to mono. The thing is, I'm ONLY getting wet verb signal from the headphone out through the interface, no dry signal. The balance is fine if I plug headphones directly into the Kemper, but only wet when I plug a TRS cable from headphones through interface. Johnkenn ragan |

Just tried a TS cable, and it works fine. Meh.

There is a tonal difference between the two. Not as exaggerated as I had first thought and kind of opposite. I'm hearing the headphone out as being a little thinner sounding than the main out. OR maybe it's the Main Out sounding a little more muddy than the headphone out, depending on how you look at it.

I am no means a Kemper expert. I havent even read the manual yet, Im sure Im using 10% of its potential..To me it sounds like you might wanna consider a hard reset? Not sure if this has been mentioned. If you purchased profiles make sure you dont loose them. I use the main outs (stereo) into 16A, arm a stereo track and it sounds identical to headphones plugged into the kemper.

Damn, that sounds good. Does the tone change when you lower volume and play softer and then louder, the was a real amp does?

It's kind of difficult to simulate a 'bad' tube, an incorrect voltage, a bleeding cap, a dodgy transformer (robot in disguise) or any other component that creates a magical tone as it's dying, but maybe someone will figure that out someday soon also.

But damn, this one sounds great. Yeah, this one is really good. There’s a Michael Britt Princeton that I would honestly be happy to use as my only amp...but this one is great - especially if you’re looking for that famous “Vox” thing. |

Ward, if you just profile that very amp with the Kemper, you'll have that sound, anytime. |

I've found the Tone Junkie profiles consistently good. And you can fortify Kemper sounds with cab/mic IR's. I'm doing it more often than not now.
I met Christopher Kemper at NAMM this year. I asked him if a Kemper or Kemper type tech could profile a piece of studio gear, and he said no, wouldn't work.
Then I asked him how he differentiated the cab/speaker part of a profile from the amp part. He said it basically was a guess. I told him I was using mine with the Two-Notes Torpedo and the cab section off. He then showed me a little green box that goes between the amp and the speaker to send into the Kemper to profile only the amp section, to be used with real speakers or IR's. Kemper is coming out with a speaker cabinet that emulates various types of speakers.
