Kemper Profiler MK 2

[paisleywookiee]

I don’t know, it comes across more like the guy who doesn’t understand good natured ribbing so he literally shits on your porch because you made a joke about his mustache and thinks those are the same thing.

THAT is a mental image!

We just jam in there mostly. A few of my pro friends get together and we play for us.

You have professional friends? My friends are just amateurs. They're just friends for the heck of it.

I don’t use modelling at all in the studio;

Then there is the amp room.

Damn, that'd sound sick through my headphones... ;P

I mean pro players .

Mine are just professional at their efficiency at which they drain my beer supply.

Didn't know we had the same friends.

See? We’ve got stuff in common! Moocher friends!

Surely you know by now how inflammatory statements like these are, right? I mean, if that's your goal, then go for it.

It is indeed his goal. Go back through his post history. He drops grenades then acts all offended and outraged when people take the bait. I've sussed him out now.

I do wonder though how Kemper managed to loose control of capture technology. I suspect their patent was not done well and got too specific .... allowing others to wiggle around the edges. Dumb. Likely the most costly mistake the company has made to date.

They probably patented “profiling” and detailed their specific approach to the process. You can’t zoom out and claim all cloning approaches. New approaches mean no stepping on toes to their patent.

Not really much else they could do unless they constantly predicted how other approaches could be done, and swoop in with new patent after patent before someone else did it.

Yes, this is it.

Kemper is not doing anything near the computational complexity that somthing like NAM is doing. Even QC has a bit more smarts going on.

Just because you hear the bloopidityblooplooop sounds, doesn't mean it is all the same thing. It just simply isn't.

Smells like TGP in here.

And here I am, new to the forum, having no idea what TGP smell even is lel

I still think Kemper is an amazing tool for live work. Maybe the best of any digital modeler/profiler once you adapt to its workflow.

That’s where it really shines for me

A close friend of mine who is pretty damn critical of profiling keeps the Kemper largely for the convenience of having the built in power amp, gapless switching (ok now fractal has something similar), the solid build, performance mode, other features that lend nicely to live use... I think they are great units for that purpose.

 

[Jarick]

Kemper I think is also the only profiling unit in a rack format right? That’s a potential pro for touring.

Does Tonex do gapless switching?

Maybe I did something wrong but I thought there was a small gap when using the tonex pedal.

Imagine someone idiot testing an OD 100 with headphones

Uhhh you know that the vast majority of session players (including the best of the best playing on the biggest albums) record most of their parts with cab's mic'd up in a different room and track through headphones right?

Yeah, I love performance mode. Between that, gapless switching, morphing, the separation of the amp from the effects, and physical buttons always available giving instant access to each block I found it so nice for live work.

It’s not perfect, but I have very fond memories of my time using it
