Thanks for making that video. Say I have a clean rig with no amp, cab or effects. What I want to do is customize the list of available amps that I can choose from on the Player itself (when I'm using via the phone app for example). I can remove amps using Rig Manager but I'm not able to save amps to that list. They never show up when using the phone app. I will keep experimenting tonight though. Thanks!
If you are talking about the drop down list under the label “Amp Model” where you also find the Generic Amp in that list you never will. The user can not cause something to change or appear there.
That is where Kemper puts the modeling of different tone stacks and gain types. That is where you select the model of a tone stack to apply the behavior of the tone stack model you picked to apply to a Profile of an amp in a Rig you have selected if you want to make it a Liquid Profile. That is the only interaction you can have with those ‘Models’.
what you are looking for is Rigs. The menu that fills the left side of Rig Manager is where all the lists are that you will audition and use.
there is a list of Rig Exchange, literally thousands of them. Those are on the internet.
There is the 50 spots in the Player itself.
There is/will be a list of all the ones you will be collecting from Rig Exchange or other users directly and keeping them on your computer called Local Library.
and you will discover the same Rig can be listed in more than one list! Right now you can search for one of the ones on your Player and you will get the results that show your Player and a result that shows it in Rig Exchange and maybe your Local Library for a third result.
There is a great search and filtering capability to use to help you find a particular real amps Profile / Rig. Or find everything uploaded that has a user name…or has the term Soldano in it etc etc
You need to stop thinking in terms of “model” as something you can go get, and install. Save that for modelers like Helix and Fractal etc. they create models of amps and that is what you use in that world.
In Kemper the universe they Profile amps and put them in Rigs (the signal chain from input to output just like Helix presets).
Other blocks are the effects before and after the Stack…the Stack being the amp profile and the cab profile.
You will find that learning these names for things is very helpful, both when getting help from those who know and speak Kemper but also as you look around Rig Manager because the instructions, labels etc are using those terms. For example there is a place where you might select to send the Stack output to DAW but send the complete Rig output to monitors. So you hear the effects you have after the Stack in your monitors but you are recording a more dry version so you can add reverb and delay in the mix later. Lots of cool routing available in the Kemper but if you are looking for other manufacturers labels you’ll have a hard time.
That is why you found the drop down list called ‘Amp Model‘confusing. Those of us who have been using Kemper for over a decade never saw anything called Amp Model until a month ago when it was included but only in the context of showing us where to select a MODEL of a TONE STACK for a Profiled amp in a Rig we had loaded.
A Rig that is loaded is noted by a headphone icon in left most column of Rig Manager…I say this because it is possible to be listening to a Rig but highlighting a different Rig to copy or just examine to see what’s in it…how a block is set up etc.
its a lot I know. You probably don’t recall how much learning Helix was, or Fractal or BOSS. Soon you’ll be zipping through Kemper too but first you walk then run.
