Ive been watching and listening to a lot of videos of the horizon precision drive. Both one with high gain and low gain settings. They all sound great but when I try and use the kemper version it sounds nothing like the pedal to me. Im basically running it into the liquid JTM 45 profile at a clean setting. Im always hearing a clean dry signal coming through the tone even with the gain set at 10 on the drive pedal. I hear the gain in the background with the clean fattening up the signal. I have the mix at 100% so that isnt the issue. Has anyone else noticed this when attempting to use this drive pedal in the Kemper?

Edit: I realize the horizon is just settings within the kemper drive. Im now noticing that im getting this clean signal only on the Kemper drive. All settings and all presets. Way different that the FULL OC for example. No clean dry signal coming through with this drive pedal.

Thanks

so do you set it at about 20% in order to replicate the EVH 80% power sag ?

Yes, edit a slot to set what messages are sent when the slot is activated.

That worked thanks.

Yes it does I send pcs to my GR55, every day

It can send 2 , to 2 different units

can it be done in performance mode though? when I go to System- page 6 it says Browse mode Prg Chg and "not available in perform mode".

any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. I tried reading up on this but the midi lingo almost made me give up LOL

from what I can find I dont think this is possible but can the Stage send PC messages? im trying to get the stage to change to a different preset on my TC NOVA Drive Pedal when I switch between 1-5 on my performances. Is This possible through MIDI?

There is only one Kemper Drive. That is the effect type. Presets are just specific parameter settings of that type Kemper Drive and parameter settings can be changed. What sticks is the effect type.

yes I understand that. So theres no way to see which preset has been previously selected? or which preset settings are currently being used?

Is there a way to see which effect preset is being used when in rig manager? For example, my drive block says kemper drive but I have no idea which kemper drive i chose initally. It would have been helpful if there was a check mark or something next to the current preset that is being utilized.

Basically its Series/Parallel routing of whatever is in those two slots. But instead of being EITHER Series OR Parallel you can adjust the balance of the routing and have some of the first effect feed into the second in series while some of it doesn’t and simply runs in parallel.

To get a handle on it load a delay with lots of repeats and a reverb with a very long decay then move the control and listen to the impact on the tails.

This helped thanks. Turning up you can really hear the difference .

Ive read the manual but am still not understanding the overall function of the knob for DLY+REV. can someone explain it to me like im a 2 year old? LOL

cant you just back it down 3 db to compensate?

Most people are using an effects block with an eq added, it has a low and hi cut. In the latest update it looks like the Kemper team have added the frequently user requested low and hi cut to the cabinet section too. Now we can set them on a per rig basis, thank you Kemper team!!

Nice. cant wait for that to be released

Quote from JEverly

I tend to set high and low cuts at the frequency responses of the real speaker you are using. These units can produce frequencies that a guitar speaker cannot produce. When using an FRFR, you get everything it is capable of producing. If you cut it down to what the real speaker produces it helps a lot IMHO. You can find the frequency responses on the speaker manufacturer's web site.

where are you setting the high and low cuts? in the OUTPUT page? I set those global HI and low cuts to about 7k and 90hz

I constantly feel like my profiles are a little brittle and pointy sounding, especially since im using an FR cabinet to dial in my presets. Pulling back the high end or presence control on a liquid profile seems to flub up the low end too much. I tried lowering the High shift in the Cabinet block to about -0.7 to -0.9 and it seems to smooth things out a bit. I also bring up the pure cabinet setting to about 10 oclock. Has anyone else played around with these parameters at all? I haven tried it live. Im hoping it doesnt shift the frequencies too much to where I wont cut through a mix or cause it to drastically change the overall sound of an otherwise well made profile.

Any thoughts?

Bogner Amp family is one of the biggest misses in the amp list...

I hope they add it ASAP!

agree

does Mbritt provide the exat settings used when profiling? that seems to be needed in order to convert to a liquid profile.

awesome. sounds very close. but it does sound like the gain is just a little too low. Doesnt have the full thickness and saturation as the original. Not far off though. jst slightly more gain. Just my opinion.

Not sure what im doing wrong but when I attempt to profile a new amp, and then I save that profile it overwrites the previous amp I chose to compare to. It seems to happen intermittently.

For example, I made a profile of JTM45 treble high channel. Then I chose that profile as a comparison to then profile the Treble Low channel. In the end after profiling the treble low channel I end up with two identical treble low profiles. I name them differently and save them after each profile is done and still the profile sounds identical.

The PROFILER's Master Volume is a master control of all linked output volumes and these do just volume and have no sound implications. And these are globasl settings, which are not part of any RIg.

im talking about a tube amp with a master volume. Not the stage master volume

nobody is forcing you to use LQD profiles.

Relax.. rtfm and have fun

Just a comment buddy. Chill out.

I just hope this LP technology allows Kemper to keep its overall tone and feel. Moving the “modeling” direction makes me worried it will start to emulate the fractal world. I’ve come From fractal after years of struggling with looking for that “amp” feel and the Kemper profiles accomplish that phenomenally. That’s why I made the switch earlier this year.
