Kemper Profiler MK 2

[Orvillain]

And Drew and I were able to tell what the real amp was anyway.

Did @Deadpan reveal which was which? I must've missed that.

He didn't. I'm taking Drew's guess with a like from Deadpan as tacit confirmation.

If I’m sound checking a band from FOH and the tone changes to a different speaker every time the cleans/lead/crunch/heavy changes I’m gonna politely ask for a don’t do that and then EQ any character out so I don’t have to chase your goofy ass every song, lol.

I mean, yeah. I’ve seen this shit happen in person, and it’s kinda funny but not.

“Oh sweet baby Jesus guys I need to have authentic speaker representations for each song!”

Sound guy: “the fuck you do!”

 

[DrewJD82]

What makes you say that?

The low end in the 2nd clip sounds more like what I'd expect from a mic in front of a cab and the upper mids are more 'open' sounding in the 2nd clip. The non-palm muted chords have more "Ahhhh" than 'eeee" is the best way I can explain it.

Say goodbye to everything below 150 and above 3k say hello to the multi-band comp. You get Rage 158 tone all night.

"Ahhhh" than 'eeee

 

[DrewJD82]

No, that's "Aaaeyyyyyyy"

I remember when the first, white Kemper came out. Looked like a hospital appliance. My first thoughts were: who on earth designs a guitar product to look this way?! Couldn't they ask someone, anyone, for some advice?

But then with time, I grew fond of how the toasters look, even the white ones. Just more personality and character than the usual guitar products, for my taste. My fractals look bland by comparison where as Kemper toasters I've had contributed to my guitar room aesthetic.

Luckily, Cliff's focus is more on the sound than the look.......luckily.

I'm loading up Echo on CBD now because it's going to sound like a literal warzone here tomorrow and for the rest of the weekend. I used to love fireworks until I got a dog. I was going through some boxes the other day and found a couple bags of these-

These are precisely why people lose fingers.

Fractal products look like they were made by your neighbor in his garage . And they attract customers who like it that way, so they get a lot of positive reinforcement to never change. The design aesthetic of the KPP and the Mk2 is pretty nice. You have to give them credit for that.

Not particularly well.

To be entirely fair, i don't ever think i've seen a Kemper Kone IRL myself. I don't think it was a very popular offering.

My neighbour is an Albanian dude who can barely speak English, and he doesn't have a garage.

Do you even carbon fiber sticker wrap, bro?

Well the thing is, even in that clip, there are huge differences. To be honest, from the perspective of accuracy, posting it was a massive own goal.

Going "accuracy doesn't matter" and then posting a clip where there are clear differences, is not the win that these guys think it is.


Nobody is doing that. You're the king of strawmen at this point.

You can't help yourself can you.

All I can say is I hope the new profiling pleases you so you can be happy.

There are clear differences in most all comparison clips ever posted.

With some clips are presented using the exact same IR making them more similar.

I post the comparison for a win? What? You must be looking at this different than I am.

You can continue to exaggerate until your Willie is content.

The clip is posted to give others perspective and hopefully be a nice base to judge the improvements of the new profiling.

Here is a Vs using a Mark Vii in iiC mode.

Which is the real amp?

I have a MKVII collecting dust. I might just plug it tonight. Its been about 3 months since i last play it. Didnt like it that much.

Then why post it as a question? It doesn’t matter which is which based on the conversation that people commenting on. It only matters that’s they’re significantly different.

I think the new black look is pretty killer actually!

I actually think it sucks. I always loved the OG looks. But then, I love cheesy SciFi looks in general.

Precisely. He doesn't get it, and he doesn't want to get it. Too much stuff to sell.
