Kemper Liquid Profiling First Look

[Tritium3H]

Ok, you’re immature and have no vision. You also can’t distinguish between product criticisms and personal attacks apparently. Have a great day.

I can discern a pattern of public behavior, how one conducts themselves professionally, and develop an opinion accordingly. Have a great day.

Since Cliff got the boot from the other place it's going to be hard to search for his stuff.

Oh ye of little faith!

My Modeler can beat your Modeler up.

Seriously. All that shit and the gate-keeping in the gear community just blows my mind. Grown men at that.

Totes.

It doesn't seem to matter if it's guitars, amps, modellers, your football team or the car you drive: Humans are just trible AF and the internet seems to make that worse

@Hapless Oops! Haha. I'll leave that typo in then, for the lols

I am sensing a huge backpack/fanny pack marketing opportunity

CKemper is friggin awesome and I’ll be one of the few here enjoying Liquid Profiling on my Kemper when it comes out. Just setting some facts straight, nothing to see here.

Tone clear, I wasn’t singling anyone out. I was just referring to the gear community in general.

I have only the utmost respect for Mr. Kemper for keeping his hardware, that’s over ten year old, fresh and relevant.

I guess this seems cool, but is it too little, too late when my ToneX caps so far are deadnuts on? I guess if you want to do it all on-device, and/or have an all-in-one device. The minute Line 6 or FAS puts a NAM player block in their stuff, it'll be interesting (if that's possible).

I don't think this is really the point, though. Liquid Profiling doesn't claim to improve the accuracy of the profiling, it just aims to make each profile more versatile and more intuitive to dial in. I definitely like the concept* of having one profile of one amp (or amp channel) with authentic controls that will get me from points A to Z and in between. ToneX is still the "hundred different snaps of one amp" paradigm - and this is exacerbated by it's having a very clunky UI. (Not that the Kemper is much better in this regard.)

*I'm not assuming (in fact I highly doubt) Liquid Profiling actually achieves this, but I understand this to be the concept.

I think Liquid Profiling will work well enough for most folks, just as modeled tone stacks and bright caps already work well enough for most folks. Not sure how profile sellers will adjust though, sell less and ask for less, surely not…?

To hell with liquid profiling...I want Earth, Wind and Fire profiling

I sold my kemper for the same reasons others have talked about. Searching for profiles that sounded "right" for me and then wishing I could sculpt them to my tastes simply got tiresome. I do get the appeal of profiling and, you never know, I could jump in again but... I'm more about a few core tones these days.

SO annoying.
