Kemper Profiler MK 2

I think the next step for camper maybe would be cool is to do a model/go filer in the next box I mean why not right offer both in that one box with their liquid profiling and then just offer amps that are static model damps I mean, they could easily come out with as many amps as the tmp
 
Can you imagine when the Axe Fx IV is announced

I think they are trying to portray is that it's good for making emo-techno-djent-lite.
Not saying that's a bad thing, but, it's not my cuppa tea either.
It genuinely sounds like someone used an AI music generator overall. The tone sounds like an amp sim circa 2010, it’s pretty bad for a digital amp company announcing their next gen product in 2025.

I watched the kiesel reveal for their new guitar model and the mix around 47seconds is awesome. Obviously it’s super metal focused but the guitar tone in general is incomparable to the kemper video. The kemper tone reminds me of those arcade guitar hero games full of knock off covers

Nothing reminds me of the Parker fly I had a while ago never should’ve have sold it
 
It's one of my annoyances that the Player says "Profiler" on it and yet hasn't profiled. I've been thinking they should have put "Player" on it instead, but it looks like they've been playing the long game. If they can rejigger the I/O to support profiling then they must have known they were going this route from the start.
"So should we include I/O for profiling since that's the long game?"

"Nah, we'll just hope we can rejigger in when we get there."

What if they switch to a web based profiling system but it only spits out Kemper compatible files (batch profiling and all future units have profile functionality)

I’ll be sappy for a second and say at a glance these threads might seem like everyone’s just dumping hot garbage in [insert company] (kempers) direction (which mildly might be true) but I find all the viewpoints pretty fascinating. It’s like bringing a new product through the gauntlet of users and it speed runs a bunch of things I hadn’t thought about from my normal pov. If a company was smart then jotting down a bunch of high level pros and cons from threads like this is pretty good information.

Enough of that gooey sh….. ow of emotion

15 years after the OG Kemper comes out they announce a mk2….. and they use this track as a mix… the guitar tone, wow…. The palm mutes around 16seconds…. Was that recorded from a spark portable speaker? That’s one of the bigger crimes out of all of this.


Probably stock music.
 
mostly because I was an Apple administrator previously, but I’m a bit of an Apple fanboy. Out of about 200 MacBooks and 100 iMacs that I ordered and was responsible for managing, ONE MacBook and ONE iMac needed to get sent in for repair - this is a 4 year period where I took over the Mac job just as the M1 started rolling out. The hardware is better than the equivalently priced HPs we get and my Mac users were generally very happy with the stability of their machines.

That being said, Apple Intelligence is shit.
I’ve been a Mac user since 1984. As much as I hate giving Woke-Ass Light-In-The-Loafers Tim Cook my money, I won’t buy anything else.

Yeah, that was every bit as lame as they get.
 
Wow ... this really is a tough crowd ... lot of hate-gasaming going on :)

The "new" [ if it is new ] amp Amp and IR Profiling wont be available to users for some time yet so any null testing done now *if* someone has a MK2 on hand is pure click bait.

So much hate for a product that a f*ck-tons of bands and studios at all levels have been happily using for ~14 years to tour and record with.

I get it though.

I hate NDSP, Atomic, Pro Tools, UA etc...- but am running a Dream 65 with my Stomp and, to my utter surprise, its the best Amp tones I've ever had.

People hate Helix.

People hate Boss.

Preple hate Fractal.

But this thread really strikes me as being on a whole 'nother almost pathological level - especially given no-one here has one, and its purported biggest feature wont even be implemented for probably another month or two

Whew .... 2c rant over.

So you can buy a refurbed-by-Kemper Player (full warranty + 45 day return policy) for $599 and pay $278 for the Level 3 upgrade, and for $877 have the equivalent Mk2 capabilities of the $1498 Stage Mk2.

Or you can pay an extra $621 for the extra buttons, I/O, and screen on the Stage Mk2.

EDIT: I'm doubting the paper trail of the Player getting profiling capabilities based on looking at all of the inconsistencies between press and Kemper releases. So appending for $621 for profiling + extra buttons, I/O, and screen on the Stage Mk2.

The player is interesting
And first it was pay walled level 1 and Level 2
Then they gave away half of level 1 for FREE

Now Level 3 basically added
Looper
8x8 interface
8 efx blocks
Dual path

According to the release they are now automatically given everyone 16 fx slots and the 8x8 interface for FREE

So technically if you don’t care about looper you are getting a lot of extras
