    I think if you change how you view the “Player” it’s usage becomes a lot more clear. This is meant to go onto a persons existing pedal board so that you don’t need to bring a traditional amp with you.

    So, if you view the “Player” as a traditional amplifier and view the effects on it as what would come standard on a tube amp, then it all makes sense. Think of other products like the UA Dream, or UA Lion, they are a single amp box. With the “Player” I can bring many amps that I might want to use, with the Liquid Profiles we will have authentic amps.


    If you need a replacement for your amps and pedal board, then the Stage is what you need.


    This is my opinion and how I am/ will be using it.

    I use the Sennheiser EW-100 guitar wireless and the Shure PSM 300 IEM with the Shure SE535 ear buds.

    They work great and no lost signals at all.


    The one thing I need to do is have the wireless packs on opposite sides of my body when in use.

    The sound guy plugs an XLR cable into your Kemper Main Output.
    Your Kemper cabinet plugs into the Kemper powered monitor out (red output).
    Set your main output to -12db ( soft button)

    Unlink your main Kemper volume so that you only control your monitor output and not the main output. This way you can control the sound level of your cabinet onstage without affecting the volume at the soundboard.

    Hi, using your RB400 plug the Kemper monitor output into the effects return on the RB400. That way you are bypassing the RB400 pre-amp. Then turn the option on the Kemper to turn off the cabinet on the monitor output. Then plug your RB into a bass cabinet and rock out.


    Yes the bass cabinet will colour your sound as it will be the sound of that cabinet. Try different cabinets to find a suitable setup. Not all cabinets are created equal. Also use the EQ in your monitor outputs to dial in for the room you play.


    If you still prefer the sound of the PA monitor, try adding a small sub to go along with it to handle the low end.

    I owned one several years ago. Played with many profiles, but never edited any of them. Just got a new one and was prepared to dig in. But the manual’s aren’t very clear on what to press/turn to do things. And what had to be done on the profiler versus in Rig Mgr? I need a Kemper for Dummies manual/book. I didn’t see a single book on Amazon.

    Go to the Kemper YouTube channel , they have quite a few videos that take you through many parameters and what they do.

    I usually use my DAW and play my various rigs that I use in a song context. I then adjust the clean/dirty/lead sounds to sit in the mix as you would expect.
    You still should listen and adjust at stage volume as well but you will be closer or good for sure.
    I adjust my output EQ as need for the venue after that.
    I have Kemper set at -12db for FOH

    This latest release has been a nightmare for me, it’s really unstable. Loss of sound, also at times the amp drive just disappears . The only solution is a reboot.
    This is not ideal during a show.
    I have zero faith in using my Kemper now.

    I had a terrible gig with the latest release.
    Using performance mode.
    Sound cut out/stopped working had to reboot three (3) times during a show. Also had a sudden loss of overdrive , had to again reboot twice during a show to solve that.


    I also had a strange issue at boot up where you had no sound and could not switch rigs, even the main knob did not work as I tried to power down and nothing happened. It was all locked up. I had to unplug the Kemper and then restart.


    I have been using Kemper since 2013 and these last few releases have become very unstable, it’s never been like this before. This has become really unacceptable at this point. Hopefully I can go back a few releases to solve all of this. I’m at at point now where I am going to leave my Kemper on the shelf and gig with something else until it becomes stable. Back to tube amps for now.
