They (Kemper) have done this before though, only to see the estimate be, like, years off.Nah they actually give an estimate, not SOON

Idk it sounds pretty legit to meWhich person at their forum is the one you can trust.
It’s confusing over there. I see Burkhard does the update announcements when they are ready but don’t think I’ve seen him answer questions. A few others over there are probably in the know but too much contradictory back and forth to be sure.
Seems like most questions are either shouted down or conflicting answers are offered which leave the question hanging.
I’ve never seen any company actually freeze sales, and my assumption is that new hardware has at least a timeline of a year, so no company can do that.that make no sense. They still sold mk1 this winter knowing they would release a mk2 in June.
I don’t understand your post maybe.
Is that a strange thing to say that a so well known company with a legendary product could have waited to release the new product with the proper firmware? And not release a new product without any of the new possibilities ?
Especially the profiling ones when your product is called an amp profiler?
As I said below, I don't see it as a problem after thinking it over a bit. What difference does it make if it needs to be hooked up to Rig Manager? FWIW, no one has yet confirmed that the profile isn't still produced entirely on the unit. That is speculation. It may be that they are using this connection for authentication since I am relatively certain that MK1 and MK2 DSP hardware can both do this new profiling.Fangurls in the thread acting like it isn't an objectionable change to the very ethos of Kemper.
You are welcome! I thought it was a very well thought out nick name for those that spend hours debating null tests. Glad you are embracing it
Great question. There are several possible answers:Does the RM thing mean you can optionally use just a computer and reamp/loadbox, without the Kemper hardware to reamp/capture?
Or is it a requirement to need the Kemper hardware for routing?
Completely agree. The difference between ToneX and Kemper is summed up by saying you can gig with Kemper.Uh, because of all the other things Kemper does better than the ToneX?
After all, creating the ‘profile/capture’ is a small part of how you use it to make music.
I’ve had a ToneX Pedal and a Stage and I’m positive I would grab the Stage every time over the Tonex.
In my mind a lowly mkI Stage is worth every extra dollar they charge above the ToneX price.
Thanks for that.Kemper forum just confirmed use of rig manager for new profile creation

Better to be a Null-O than a Dild-O

Or an arrogant prick.
Well you can. Like Jack White did a performance using a 2x4 with 6 penny nail stretching a guitar string and had a single coil pick up on the board and played slide. Kind of cool really.Why can’t you gig with a ToneX pedal? Is it missing IO that I’m not familiar with?
Anyway, you're right, no point in arguing this over forum posts. Let's go empirical instead: take the flattest headphones/IEMs you own (or calibrated room and monitors+sub if you have them) and listen to the two files in the link below at a high enough volume and then tell me in which of the two you perceive the two sine waves in the files (41.4 and 1000 Hz) as having roughly the same volume.
They said summer. They failed to say summer of any particular year. Or summer in which hemisphere.Nah they actually give an estimate, not SOON

But unless the theme of your performance is along those lines I bet you would pick a Stage over a ToneX evertrime after the one time you picked the ToneX.
The point incontrovertibly proven with sine waves is that you perceive as having roughly the same volume two signals that are at the same LUFS level, not two signal at the same true peak dBFS level.Dude, if you're trying to prove a point with sine waves, you're missing the point entirely![]()
Wtf does this have to do with a null test?What i'm trying to convey is that loudness correction doesn't mean shit when one can still hear differences between sounds. If you're bored, try this out:
- Record a 10 seconds guitar track with amp A, and another 10s track with guitar amp B.
- Create a new track C mixing A+B, with everything under 100Hz from track A filtered out, and everything over 100Hz from track B filtered out.
- Adjust the mix until C and A (or B) yield the same average LUFS figure.
- Now listen them back. Do they sound identical? Similar, even?
Ok. But the Stage will make lots of things easier. It doesn’t need midi to switch things around that the pedalboard would. And, in the context that the two devices were pitted against each other…the mkII aspect…assuming Kemper has raised the ‘profile’ quality to the Tonex standard…Instead of a Kemper Stage I'd rather choose a Tonex (or Tonex One) on a board with a few select pedals. Or a Tonex (or Tonex One) in combination with a Fractal VP4. Or a Tonex (or Tonex One) in the loop of a HX stomp.
Wtf does this have to do with a null test?
Sure, and in that case the LUFS measured on the null test between those two profilers will reflect that difference. If it's huge to your ears it will be huge in the measurement as well.
I'm pretty sure this guy is an EE - he was somehow able to make sure that his entire guitar tone signal is aliased. Definitely got an A on his 'Crystal Lettuce' 401 course
Newsflash, just cause something doesn't fit in with what folks conventionally deem "good tone or playing" doesn't mean they can't but rather they chose not to.
