This was an excellent video - so informative. You are such a great member of the Kemper community. Many thanks!

I love that in the first minute you came right out and hit the nail on the head about the sound of these things. Has the sound of a "captured" amp you hear miked through monitors. Summed up perfectly.

"You've never heard their amps" PERFECT statement! Spot on!

Thanks so much HW, this is really helpful. Since buying my Kemper a few months ago, I found a few really good profiles and just used those. Now I want to learn how to add effects, change speaker cabinets etc. Looking forward to the the next lesson about the performance modes. Your easy way of explaining things makes it a pleasure to learn more about the Kemper.

Thanks. Im just two weeks in on my Kemper so Im binge watching how to videos today and this is my first one of the day.

This video deserves a huge like. As a kemper user I must say it helps a lot to get started with this great device. Being completely honest, I didn't go too much through settings in two years I've been using the kemper, but this video definitely gave me some hints to get more out of it. Great job dude! Greetings from Italy.

I love my Kemper so much more because of what I’ve learned from you!

You explained the kemper perfectly, thanks for the insight. Great help

A great intro, perfect if you're new to the Kemper, delivered in a fun and accessible way. Many thanks.

Great video - looking forward to kemper 201. Keep the vids coming. Love the podcast rant by the way...quality and so true.

Really cool thoughts and concepts. My passion is recording and you have provided info I’ve been trying to figure out for the past year! Great teaching about the Kemper, the best and most practical video I’ve seen. And of course, many of your tones are quite awesome. Thank You and Bless You Sir!

Dude, I can't thank you enough for this video! I've had my Kemper Toaster for 3 days (32 hours of that, just playing with it!), and the "kraftwerken" manual made no mention of "how to get to these parameters" (e.g. Sag...) which was the main reason I bought this. I don't learn well from videos (I'm a Technical Writer in my "day job", and as a Austrian, I recognize the "kraftwerken" mindset when I encounter it!), but by listening to you a couple of times, and then really eyeing the camera shots, I've found the mysteries I sought. Thanks again for the time and effort in creating this - it is much appreciated!

I'm new to Kemper. Coming from Helix. Your tutorial is excellent. Thank you! I'm sure I'll be checking into your profiles soon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. So informative and entertaining. You have really focused on the key points to get one into "dial-in" mode. KPA's vids are good but this really addresses the overall usage. I am subscribed.

Absolutely the BEST video on the kemper, you explain it perfectly over the series, thanks man! (Enjoyed the playing too)

Great video, so much flexibility in this amp. Great job in showing so much in this video!

Great tutorial !!! Much appreciated. The way you set up your sounds is very similar to how I set mine up, not excessively bright and ice-picky. Smooooooooth.............!!!!! Cheers to you.

I am very tech phobic.......this was a fantastic ,easy to follow and clear instructional vid.........even I can now use the thing.Excellent and informative.

Subscribed! Man, thanks for this! I just got my Kemper home yesterday and it's completely updated but honestly it's been a bit daunting just getting through the menus and stuff. This really helped.

Thanks. Just got my Kemper yesterday and this helped me to quickly get up to speed.

Jeff Lee - something worth mentioning. You can also save and name your stomps as a preset in the stomps section. this way you can save numerous combinations of fx and bring them up instantly for different profiles. The way to do this is to hold down the STOMPS button (in this screen you can also easily rearrange the order of your fx) and press store. you will then have a "STOMPS section" option press that button and name and save your preset, done. The way to recall this preset is to again HOLD the STOMPS button, and while in this screen turn the browse knob. you will see any saved STOMPS presets. This same process works for the EFFECTS section. This is a HUGE time saver. Hope that is helpful to people Cheers

Just Got My Kemper Today! Great Video!!

What an excellent tutorial -- you are very good at this, thanks!

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to break it down. Just placed my order

I’m just about to buy a Kemper so I’ve been trying to learn as much as possible, this is the best video I’ve seen so far by a mile. Great job.

Incredible videos, thanks! I haven't been using the Kemper for long, I always end up with your videos. Thx from Germany

Great video bro! Was thinking about getting a Kemper. I'm going to get one now!!

All your videos have been a lifesaver!

Hey , you did a great job. Very informative, educational and you have a good delivery. Subbed bro, Thanx

Very instructive. It all makes sense what you say about sound in general. Love it!

Just got a Kemper yesterday...its an AWESOME unit. Amp heaven for guitar players, a true game changer.

FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing this most helpful info!

This is perfect! Thank you, HW.

Wow !! Super Guide for Someone New to Kemper !! Very like-able smart and friendly guy too !! Many Thanks. Most appreciated.

Great video, buddy! Super informative and love your enthusiasm!

Just got a kemper and this is super helpful

This video is gold! Thank you

Well you just made me want to purchase one of these thanks to your video. A lot of online reviews say there hard to use which made me reconsider. But you really showed just how easy it can be! I’m sure depending on how much you tweak things can get harder though.

i dislike so many videos from people wasting my time. thank u for being informative and not wasting time

Good video mate, and I like your presentational style. I'm obviously really dumb but it hadn't even occurred to me that the top row is a visual left-to-right representation of the entire signal chain. Keep up the great work.

You're a great teacher. Thanks man!

Excellent explanation !!

This was excellent!! Many thanks

Great video. I really like the LEDs on the bottoms dials. Makes seeing where the dial is at much easier than looking for a black line. Great engineering solution.

That sag control is a very useful piece of kit. Makes it almost impossible to tell if it's a valve amp or not. I love it.

Love your videos !! Great fun to watch :)

Exactly what I was looking for as a Kemper newb. You got a new sub.

Great video! Thank you

Great video! Thanks for posting. 👍

Finally, the video I’ve been looking for. Also low key flexing on the fretboard.👍🏾

superb and ultra important info buddy, top guy, its all about the recording

Compressor after preamp and before cab is gold!

Great video....love it! Need to get one.....

This was great man! Trying to find the Kemper 201 foot switch tutorial!!!

Super helpful and very well done. Thanks!

Thanks for this informative video.

Fantastic tutorial thank you!

Some people are just born to do certain things - HW is that to KZfaq/Kemper - quality presentation, accurate info - and you walk away with the knowledge you need. Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video! :)

Selah Sounds make lovely profiles! Agreed!

Great Video, thank you!!

Great instructive video

Solid video! Thank you!

Fantastic walk thru!!!!!

You are exactly right saying we have never heard the actual amp sounds that we love because of the processing after them. Drums are even more processed than guitars. Modelling should have been the next evolution, but the Kemper is the real deal evolution. Personally, I would just buy profiles from the pro's. They KNOW how to mic up, use the BEST equipment and you are pretty much guaranteed to get a very convincing sounding amp, cab, effect etc. You will never need more than a dozen or so variations, but if you want to store 500, go ahead. The only Thing I am a peeved about with the Kemper is the cost of the dedicated foot board. You need this to access a lot of features, the looper to name a major one. But take a gamble, with this guy showing you the best way to get set up, you'll be leaving your big rigs at home and selling the van!!!

This is such a great video. I just ordered my Kemper yesterday and can't wait for it to come in. I feel infinitely more comfortable and confident II'll be able to use it. Do you know when the part 2 will be around?

great video bro!

Nice job 101 impressive .

amazing video

Thank you! Just got my kemper.. Been afraid of leaving my amp and pedels.. But you maybe gave me a bit more confidence!

Just got myself a Kemper Stage, I've gotta say, after tons and tons of research, as well as you being the main force in my reasoning behind pulling the trigger on one of these. I got as ballsy when I got the Kemper to literally just get rid of my Blackstar that I was using. I initially was horrified, now that I've had it, I've never been happier with my sound. Waiting for a bit more cash and I will get the power Kabinet to pair with it to really add to the live stage sound or for jamming with friends when needed. But for me, the silent abilities this has into a daw is all I've ever asked for.

thank u so much, SO informative !!!!!!

Great info, thanks ! I was hoping a basics vid would include the back but oh well I'll keep looking,.

Thanks 🙏 brother!!

Great vid... gained a sub. Cheers!

great video,learn lot

Thank you man.

“I’m not gonna explain what master volume is.” *Proceeds to explain what master volume is*

Great video, thanks. Now 4 years after posting it's interesting to know how the Kemper compares to alternatives

Just got mine and purchased the Everything Pack and several M Britt packs.

Great Video Subbed!

I get my kemper on Friday!

Ok,this helped a little bit,thanks.

This is fantastic! Thanks for this !!

Great video, is it that speaker monitor’s has a crucial role in tone? I mean if you compare cheap to expensive and both has a wide range in hz to Khz and knowing that a guitar spectrum is mostly in the mid range. Cheers

Hi there! Once I select one amp and one cab, can I choose two different mics and record simultaneouly the guitar to 2 different tracks to my DAW?? Thanks for your videos. Cheers

Thanks for taking the time to provide this introduction. I purchased the Kemper for my middle school Music Club. I chose the powered version. I have two options for speakers. I could use our Orange 2x12 cab or a QSC powered 12.2 main. Is one configuration preferred over another?

Thank you! Very well done video, straight to the point! Any recommendation for what kind of Cab you'd use, that's probably another whole different topic , but did you try a few and have a preference and if so why? thanks much, Chris!

Fantastic video thx :-)

As a complete guitar beginner who was in over their head, I really appreciate this video and how you went thoroughly into each part of the Kemper and demonstrated the various sounds, effects, and controls. It took me some time to find content like this which explained everything.

Hey HW, love your videos. Thinking of getting a Kemper. Curious what you are using in this video for your sound out. mulling studio monitors or cabinet. thanks.

How does a Kemper take regular effects pedals? I seem to never want to use the built in presets since I have a vast pedal collection. Thanks

I'm literally at 1:30 and love this episode already! Huge shout out to Rob BGLT from the Kemper Stage group for sharing this link with me! :)

thanks for the review! which headphones do you suggest for use it at home? thanks

great video! i want to buy the kemper, there are some jazz (Benson style) profiles?

A great tutorial would be how you input the kemper to the DAW as it’s sometimes a mind field to newbies (I have reaper and a scarlet 18i8). It took me a while to get it sorted.

Holy shit. I want one of these so insanely badly

Excellent video. Just might purchase one tomorrow 👍🏼 I never like the idea of these till I tried one the other day and and I was blown away on how amazing it sounded. Had it plugged in to an Orange 4x12 loaded with V30’s

thanks for making this-what do you think of that desk ? I have been looking at it on their site

NewbieSetup Question : Do you need to buy a load box /cab emulator like the Two Notes Torpedo to play this thing live without a DAW? Or is the standard way to plug the line out to a Scarlett I/F for example, use a DAW and use a cab IR plugin of some sort just to be able to play live?
