Hats off to Kemper. This is pretty good for original kemper owners. If they brought out Kemper 2.0 then used values would have plummeted.
This way a used full fat kemper for about £1k looks okay value considering you get twice the effects slots and the capability to profile (plus a screen blah blah)
Also, maybe take the DAW out of the test.
Just take the signal from the analog input of your mixer into the spdif and see how you go from there. I find every time I use a DAW it takes me 5 minutes of knob twiddling to hear anything because of some setting or other (!)
Hi there,
this isn't a question, more of a public service bit of information.
I am using the SPDIF of the kemper to play my guitar through it with no problems.
Here's why I am doing it.
I have my kemper set up on my desk next to my computer with an RME fireface UCXII as an audio interface.
I also use a Boss wireless transmitter to connect my guitar to the front input of the fireface as I sometimes use plugins on the computer.
Anyway, I was thinking of ways of reducing the number of cables in my setup and realised that I could just send the analog input of the fireface out through the spdif and into the kemper.
This means that my wireless cable can be permanently attached whether I'm using plugins or the kemper and I have also got rid of the audio cables from the back of the kemper to the audio interface - everything goes through spdif.
I don't notice any latency and the audio is totally normal.
As a side effect I found it really easy to set up my kemper kabinet into a w/d/w rig using my desktop monitors for the wet. Beautiful tones!
I hope that helps someone.
This amp is trying to be a modern kemper style solution but with all analog signal path and digital control. I'm not sure that it quite does that, but it's a good amp overall.
I did a video walkthrough of the different delay algorithms. No comparison to the Kemper (yet), but thought some people on this forum might be interested to see it.
Nice work Allen, that's really awesome stuff and very helpful. Is the wireless access point mandatory or could you just hook the switch up to the home network and therefore existing wifi with an ethernet cable?
I am a little out of date thinking about this, but I think the answer is yes if I remember correctly.
I've just got one and it's definitely weird.
Although I found this useful, and its got me thinking of alternative ways of adding Wifi to my rack. The thing that really caught my attention is how your head was in another room and the Kabinet in front of you... how are you doing that? Hopefully not just one long cable 😊
Yes, one long cable
Only really interesting to those of you who have a HX stomp or Quad Cortex (probably quite a few of us?).
The Cioks Crux lets you power a high current multi effect from one outlet and tidies up your power supply.
This behavior began when they introduced the morph-pedal slider in RM. A parameter would morph when the pedal was hooked up in the toe position as paults comment. Drove me nuts for a few days until I right-clicked to "remove morph". Then I just moved the morph slider in RM to heel (red). If you leave the slider like this to the left (regardless of the actual position of the foot pedal) it while not create a morph until you reset the foot pedal with your foot.
Thank you. I will try tomorrow. That will be great if it works.
If you have a Morph pedal, and it is not fully in the heel position, adjusting parameters would create Morph settings.
This would also happen if you have a footswitch or Remote Rig/Performance Slot switch in Morph position.
Thank you. Interesting. I think this could be the cause. I do have a morph pedal under my desk and it isn't always in heel position. I will test it.
Is there any way to turn this behaviour off?
thanks for coming back to me, but I don't think any of that covers my issue.
every knob that I turn on my profiler or editor creates a morph. Is there a setting that morph is on by default? I don't want to endlessly create morph edits.
Every time I turn a knob on my toaster or adjust a setting on the editor it sets up a morph.
I don't want it to do that, but I can't find a setting on the system pages to turn it off.
What can I do?
On latest beta OS, but has been doing this for the last few updates and I would now really like to fix it. Thank you!
I just did a video sharing the learning from my research into using headphones with the Kemper.
I did another video of the same pedal.
This time with the Future Factory doing digital modulated delay.
It's a good point.
The user interface isn't as bad as a Boss DD-500 and weirdly I prefer it to the Strymon timeline.
But, yes, there's a lot in there!
This box of tricks can do a lot!
Most of the demo videos for the Meris LVX showcase the wild and crazy sounds it can do. I set up 3 presets that could do basic delay sounds and compared them to a really basic delay pedal (Boss DD-200).
TL;DR - The Meris sounds great!
And I'm wearing my Kemper t-shirt!!
I get something like Halo with these dual delay settings:

I had a little mess around with my Kabinet this morning. I captured my Tone King Imperial on the Quad Cortex and then A/B it via the Kemper Kabinet.
TL;DR I don't think it's supposed to work well, but with a little EQ the Kabinet sounds very similar to the real amp.
13ms would mean close to unusable to me.
Yes, I think it's personal to each player, but I think that I'm quite sensitive to latency.
