Thank you!

​@@bradthree3962can we also get the answer please?

Jim Mc Dougall yes I agree! I had to include some ENGL stuff since I own an ENGL Savage

I love the Britt stuff, sounds so good!

Thanks brother! Are you using kemper stage/toaster/rack?

Thanks for watching!

Nate Beal thanks brother!!

Diane Dial thanks for watching!

Those are great profiles! Honestly I still haven’t bought any commercial profiles yet either

That’s crazy I didn’t know that! I was so impressed by what came stock on the profiler.

Brad Three Yeah I was thinking he was going to say some elaborate profile. But just a stock Mesa profile. Lol

Stephen Dre Keep it simple!!

Thanks!

John Munder you’re gonna love it! I’m still exploring with new sounds all the time. Endless options. Thanks or watching!

Guitarist Josh Bailey ya I almost chose one of his for this video. Honestly there are so many great sounding profiles stock, it was hard to choose.

I have friends that use fractal and helix. In my opinion nothing comes close to sounding like the kemper.

I was unsure which one I should buy, the Fractal or the Kemper. Thanks for the clarification. I think I‘m sold on the KPA now.

@@flowryan5829 Good choice, my friend!

@@flowryan5829 Didn't try the Axe fx 3, some say there is a difference between it and the FM3, but so far I'm not blown away by the tones as I was with a Kemper (not even by the youtubers that showcased it before it became officially available to the public). Still haven't given up on it, though. I say go for the Kemper 100%, you're gonna like the 'uniqueness' that some profiles bring, you're gonna like the cleans and I need to mention that I also had a bass tone profile that I loved. When you get it, have in mind that searching for the right profile can be a long process, but don't give up.

@@suniso370 I‘m really looking forward to the search. That‘ll be some fun for sure!

Thanks for watching!

You’re one of the few ppl to actually know what guitar that is 😛

@@bradthree3962 🤘

Eric Peterson I don’t know him. A friend of yours?

@@bradthree3962 Yes, he's on FB.

Julia Rose thank you for watching!

Unfortunately I don’t have that desk anymore I converted to a L-shaped desk that’s made of glass and I added a riser for my dual monitors. I’ll be doing a video soon with my new setup. Thanks for watching!

Yes you should be able to get all the same profiles for free on the kemper website if they are not already on your unit when you get it.

There’s a bit of a learning curve for beginners if I’m being honest. However, there are a lot of good kemper beginner tutorials here on KZfaq so it’s definitely doable. As far as sound goes - on a recording it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between kemper and a real amp. You’ll hear a difference when you’re in the room with a real amp vs kemper because valve amps just move more air, but once they are mic’d up side by side the difference is almost non existent in my opinion.

Ibanez STM1 - Sam Totman (Dragonforce) signature guitar

I used one of the metal drum kits from EZdrummer 2

1 left 1 right

Thank you! I may do a video on that guitar and a before/after of upgrades to it

Yes that’s correct only 1L and 1R and then for the lead that was panned in the center

@@bradthree3962 Thanks for answer. I 'll try that, I hope I 'll get sound that you had. thanks again.

@@cbmnightspirit no problem! Hit me up if you have any more questions

Several options: 1 - direct output to FOH speakers 2 - output to a speaker cab like a normal amp 3 - Both (this is what I do because it’s the best of both world in my opinion) Happy to help more if you have questions

Thanks for watching!

No mixing, just raw guitar sound

@@bradthree3962 damn that's sick man

Yes the newer versions/software updates may come with different stock profiles but all the profiles I used should still be available for download.

The Kemper itself comes loaded with what is called Factory Content 5.0, 7.5, 8.0 or whatever version of the OS came your Kemper from factory. Kemper releases more free content time, but the Factory Content of your device remains the same of the OS version you got. This means that even if you update the Kemper to new OS versions, the Factory Content is not loaded to the newer version unless you put your unit to Factory Defaults. But all the free content, old and new, is always available in Rig Manager. That includes currently Factory Content 8.0 as well as other packs that do not come loaded in the Kemper, but are fun to try like the recent Legends Tribute Collection pack. By the way, the Factory Content does not only include rigs and rig packs, but PRESETS too. Also present in Rig Manager.

Oh, and by the way, Janusz O., don't mistake the PRESETS for RIGS or PROFILES. They are not the same, even if preset is the word used in other devices to call a particular "sound". In the Kemper a Profile is a snapshot of an amp. A Rig is a complete signal chain from input to output, including stomps, effecs, amp, cab... And finally a Preset is a stored setting for ANY module or effect of the Kemper. That could be a preset of an effect like reverb, a preset of the input module, or the output... Even you can store and load Cabinets as presets and work with them like IRs. Different cabs make a huge difference.

@@RichiAtlanticWind thanks!!!! Very comprehensive answer. I did have a look in all free profiles in rig manager but I will revisit it for sure

@@RichiAtlanticWind thanks for helping me out with that question! Much better answer than I gave 😂😂😂

I’ve used them all and I prefer the kemper. Mostly because that’s what I’m used to at this point. They are all good units honestly… you really can’t go wrong here

@@bradthree3962 I was thinking kemper since it’s profiling real amps. I have no amps to profile, but it’s my understanding you don’t HAVE to do that. I come from a plugin background, so I lean in the side of tech over tubes. My issue with fractal is the bad interface, and my issue with the QC is we’re three years in from the reveal at NAAM with all the promises that are still unmet. Kemper, to me, sounds like the choice for a matured metalhead like myself rather than the Line 6 type of approach from the others. Does that sound accurate to you?

@@thisguy2973 yes I would agree with that. Another thing to consider is that the Kemper is 11 years old at this point and is still competing with brand new units and adding new features (without any extra cost), which I think is impressive. That means if you bought it 11 years ago you are still getting free updates. A lot of touring professionals rely on the kemper every night and so that speaks a lot about it’s reliability and consistency.

Yes sir

Rubén Alonso Vigueras Salazar thanks for watching!

That’s a good point I probably should have. If I do another kemper video I definitely will

@@bradthree3962 Thanks, I liked your video and was just missing the isolated tracks 👍

In this video it’s all direct into the DAW, no cab. Just the profile the way it was made with whatever cab it was recorded with.

@@bradthree3962 thanks for replying so quickly! So nothing changed on the daw side and mic/cab sim done by the kemper?

@@jamesgreen6648 yes no EQ or anything just straight outta the kemper into Cakewalk

@@bradthree3962 well sounds great and awesome riffs, thanks for your help
