Kemper Profiler MK 2

[Richard_G]

I don't really know why, but I've never wanted anything from Kemper. It's kind of strange, as I tend to at least want to give most of Kemper's competitors' products a test run.

they better not repeat the Level tier upgrade BS that came with Kemper Player...

I would have zero problems with that. Its a great method to offer at different pricepoints, to buyers with different needs.

You don't think it's an effects only Kemper?

And some sort of FX chain or something

Does fixed fx mean there is also unfixed efx?
I’m hopimg multiple captures….and that that capability will be available on the player also. (..and the first gen toaster..but i don’t think that is gonna happen)

If they haven't massively upgraded their accuracy, then I just don't care what other features it has.

More power
Same inaccurate profiles



But outside dual profiles (which is that really used that much) what power was the Kemper lacking?

Now I'm imagining ToneJunkie rambling 3 minutes to describe a Kemper 2 and grandma's jello cake recipe to an AI prompt, and getting this.

Heh, three minutes? The guy's incapable of creating any content rambling for less than half an hour

I was never much into the whole profiling/capturing craze, but any desire to own Kemper gear i had died with the tiered upgrades nonsese from last year.

I bloody well suggested efx-chains for the KPA about 4 years ago to overcome the 4 Pre and 4 Post but was sh*t on by the mods

BTW I think the pic in the OP is not of the real thing assuming there is a "new" KPA.

If they have drastically expanded the number of built-in Amp Channels for Liquid Profiling**, fix the IR quality and maybe even further enhanced the profiling process, this could get very interesting - this current product, like it or not, is the industry standard for '000's of semi-pro-pro touring bands.

** see here => https://youtu.be/e81XmFYw_N4?t=1348 - in short once Leo changes the controls on the Soldano and then changes the matching controls on the Soldano LP, the KPA Null Test results get better significantly and the QC results get worse significantly

It better nail that -53.3 LUFS null-test mark Leo keeps chasing.

Thanks to LAL I know more about latency than anyone should

efx-chains

Can you give me the spark notes of what the point of an efx chain would be?

Whatever this turns out to be, we know from how C.K works and hsitory that

=> the KPA has never had or been designed to have all the bells and whistles - it doesn't need to have them as its not a component modeler
=> C.K knows exactly what is out there and what stuff can and cant do and he's not a fool.
=> C.K / KPA will do what they always do - they will do what they will do and do it they way they think is best - take it or leave it
=> if they are doing a KPA 2 after all this time, its not going to be a small / minor hardware / platform tweak.

Given the amount of leaks, this is probably only days or a week or so away.

It is a stage MK2
Looks like bigger board
There are photos on FB unless they took them down

What I suggested to them - and which they promptly sh*t upon was as follows for example:-

=> pick any of the 4 pre or 4 post slots - say pre slot 2
=> in pre slot 2 you could then load x no. of effects in series ie: comp + drive + eq + mod and then scroll through them on the screen to set up each one as you want
=> then have a Midi CC assigned to each efx so you can turn any of them on/off at will.
=> even if they had added only 2 x Series EFX per slot, that would have given 8 x pre and 8 x post .. 16 in total .. more than %99.99 of players could even need

Maybe they sh*t on it because the unit didn't have the juice to do it ?
