I've been using Moog EP-3 for years. There is a pot at the bottom that likes to change positions while packed up (gremlins probably) so I mark that pot and switch positions with a silver paint pen. Other than that, the only issue I had was the cable going bad after several years, but I carry backups.

The problem is with the first link in your signature.
It does not point to https://bertmeulendijk.com/home/
It points to http://www.bertmeulendijkprofiles.com/
That link produces an error that displays http://www.bertmeulendijkprofi…gi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
Ah! That must have been it. I went to the link straight from the signature. Thanks!

No problems to my knowledge…
Are you using this url..? https://bertmeulendijk.com/hom…-plexi-68-liquidprofiles/
Looks like it is working now. I also going a bounce back from the support email, when I emailed it. Everything looks good now though. Thanks.

breu , it looks like there is an issue with your website. Was getting ready to buy the new pack and see this error:

Yesss, the release of my Bert Meulendijk JuMP S-Lead plexi ’68 rigpack. I've tried to recreate the sound of a 1968 Marshall JMP Superlead® plexi. OS10 required!!
I think the Marshall® plexi amps are probably the most imaginative amps ever made.
Here are some soundsamples: https://on.soundcloud.com/fegcQ

Does the gain knob just simulate cranking the volume up? I didn't think to test this on your JuMP-50 Plex pack as I was just using the profiles as you made them.

Just loaded 10.2.2.49572 and the performance-skipping-bug using the up/down-buttons on the front-panel is still present.
Thanks for the confirmation. Have you tried slowly going through each slot in the performance before going up and down? That seemed to affect it in the previous version I had. Hadn't done it enough in the current version to know if it's making a difference. Just curious to see if that is working for others and how it may be related to the bug causing the issue.

For those who have not tried the profiles from jsadites I would encourage you to give them a shot. I've found that 1) Jason Sadites has a very good ear for dialing in his profiles 2) many of the packs have liquid profiles (for those amps that have the liquid model channels) and other packs are "Liquid ready" with settings in the PDF for at least one of the profiles that could be made liquid if/when Kemper puts out a corresponding model channel for that amp and 3) he does not overcharge for his profiles. I currently have all of his profile packs except the latest Marshall JCM900, but I'll get around to picking that up soon enough.
Really cool he included the pdf with the settings.

This Browser Mode issue turned out to be a misunderstanding in your other thread.
The Up/Down Buttons of the Rig Navigation Cross initiate bigger jumps depending on the selected sorting criteria. If for example "By Author" is selected, Up jump to the next author skipping all other Rigs of the current Rig's author.
And Up and Down Buttons of the Remote jump complete banks. So Up jump five Rigs forward.
This is usual and intended functionality since day 1.
Thanks. I appreciate you getting the browse mode problem resolved for me, which was caused by my misunderstanding of how things worked. The manual is clear on that.
The performance mode issue, however, is still an issue.

Not sure, what you are exactly meaning with "moving up or down". This is what the Main Manual says regarding Rig Navigation Cross:
Use this to navigate through the Rigs. Left and right buttons will switch sequentially, while the up and down buttons will change in larger steps. A newly selected Rig is instantly recalled.
So if you for example sort by date, your Rig loaded has creation date June 4th, 2020, and you press the up button of the Rig Navigation Cross, it will skip other Rig created on that date and for example load a Rig created on June 5th, 2020 - the next higher creation date.. If you sort by author, the up button skips Rigs of the same author and jumps to the next author. If you want to move Rig by Rig press the right or left button of the Rig Navigation Cross instead.
And this is, what the manual says regarding the Up/Down Buttons of the Remote:
....
In Browser Mode, you can step or scroll through Rigs in your browse pool according to the selected View and Sort Order criteria. The option “Group of 5/Single Rig” on page Remote Settings in System Settings determines, if the Up/Down Buttons step through the Rigs individually or by groups of five in Browser Mode.
....
By default the Bank Up botton moves five Rig forward and therefor skips 4 Rigs. That's the whole idea of a bank. You have got the Rig Buttons 1-5 of the Remote to navigate within the Bank/Performance.
Hard to believe I have had this thing for around five years and I didn't know that's how the buttons work. I guess when I'm messing around with new profiles, at home, I am always using Rig Manager to select profiles when I am in Browse Mode. I wanted to demo some new liquid profiles in browse mode and that's where I noticed the issue. I did not realize that's how the buttons worked or that the remote let you choose between scrolling in banks of five or single profiles. Also, just because rig manager is sorted one way, does not mean the toaster is sorted the same way (ascending vs descending).
I really appreciate the help Burkhard !
-
I hooked up my remote to test with it. The remote is skipping the same profiles going up and down as the buttons on the toaster.
-
Problem is still here in the latest release. Also, now Browse mode is skipping large blocks of profiles going up and down. I created a separate thread and ticket for that. Haven't spent a lot of time in performance mode, since I was just messing with Liquid profiles, but hopefully the new OS hasn't introduced more performance mode issues as well.
-
In Browse mode, my Kemper is skipping some of my newly added profiles when moving up or down. I have the latest release software on it. It looks like the same profiles are skipped when moving down every time. The same profiles are skipped when moving up every time. The profiles skipped moving down are not the same ones skipped moving up though. If I load the profiles in Rig Manager, they all load and work fine.
I have the rigs sorted by Date and All Rigs displaying. If I switch to "Current author", the same rigs get skipped and when all profiles display.
Anyone else seen this on the latest release level OS? Opening a support ticket now. -
Did a quick run through many of the Tone Junkie Liquid packs with my effects slot locked and was able to get a lot of good sounds without a whole lot of tweaking on many of them. Some of them I just turned the gain down a little and they sounded nice to my ears with my guitar. Others I had to do a little more tweaking. A few I just didn't like, because I probably just don't like that amp. I've still only had about an hour with these ones, but I think I am going to be happy with them once I get them saved with an effects block I like.
-
At least for the AC30X and the Deluxe Reverb I was able to quickly get a good tone out of these by setting the effects block locked to something I liked, with my normal low cut and high cut, less reverb, and no delay. After that a quick turn of the dials had these ones sounded good to my ears. I was just looking at the Quick Start ones, so I'm sure there are more I'll like deeper in, but I think if you set the effects block to something you like when auditioning these, it will help you out.
Everyone's gear and ears are different though, so you may still end up not liking them, but one my 2nd run through them, with a little tweaking, I'm pretty happy with at least the AC30X and the Deluxe Reverb. I don't really use Twin or Vibrolux profiles, so I'm not sure what I'd expect them to sound like.

This basically
"So 'Liquid' Profiles are great!
'Classic' Profiles are great too"
I buy profiles because I want a set of sounds that are a dialled in version of an amp. However I have always been very aware that tweaking the Kemper EQ wasn't authentic so I didn't really use it. So profiles worked for me or they didn't.
I will still want a set of dialled in liquid profiles in any future packs I purchase. But I will also feel a little more comfortable that adding some mids, lowering the gainetc. won't drift too far from the original amps behaviour.
This is exactly how I feel.
-
What is still missing for me are my personal wishes concerning different sounds which I hope you can fulfill in the near future: Vox AC 30, MB Dual Rectifier and the 5150 - the tone stacks are already there and waiting
I am hoping Bert releases an AC30 pack as well. I have one, so from, from a profiler I use but would like to get Bert's take on it. I really like how you are doing the raw profiles, the Bert's choice/tweaked profiles, and the performances. I haven't had a whole lot of time with the current liquid profiles, since I just did the update yesterday, but so far I really like what I am hearing out of Bert's new ones.

I use this: PYLE Universal Laptop / Device Stand PLPTS3
https://pyleusa.com/products/plpts3
I only use it in my music room and never move it. Similar to the Amazon stand above. It seems pretty sturdy and not prone to tipping even at the height I have it set at. I have the platform at 40" above the floor to make adjustments to the Kemper easy. The only drag was that the upper collar was not strong enough to clamp the tube tight under the weight of the Kemper (powered toaster). It would gradually slip down. Easily solved by setting it to the height I wanted, drilling a small hole in the center pole and then inserting a pin through it.
That one does look very similar to the Amazon one I bought. I didn't have any issues with it not holding the Kemper, but I just didn't like the footprint for smaller stages.
-
I've been around and messed with high-quality versions of the Amazon stand. Both folding and weighted bases. The problem with any stand is the higher you go, the wider the base needs to be. Zero chance I trust something as heavy as a Profiler up that high. It's certainly solid, but one decent bump and it's all over. Those stands aren't meant to hold something that weighs nearly 12 pounds (13+ if powered) that high. They're designed for laptops and projectors that (often) weigh less than the stand itself.
I converted an old drum throne to have a flat board on top. Even at full extension its slightly over 24" high. My Head rests on their very solidly, but the stand is heavy (made by Gibraltor) and a pain to setup, take down and transport. I've used it at gigs, but look for ANY reason not to. Its sat against a wall at our rehearsal space for nearly a year.
I don't need anything higher than a 1x12 cab would sit. Kemper on top of that is at a reasonable height. That Amazon brand one I got actually seemed like it was pretty heavy duty and sturdy, but I was hoping to have something with a smaller footprint. I'd really like the Walmart one if I could find one made out of a little better material. Just curious what other solutions people have tried.
-
I know there have been some threads like this in the past, but I was wondering if there was anything new out there. I am looking for a lightweight, sturdy, foldable stand for my Kemper.
I have tried this cheap one from Walmart:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mai…athbdg=L1103&from=/search
and while I like the idea, the top doesn't sit completely flat and it is about as sturdy as you'd imagine a $20 stand from Walmart would be.I tried a big tripod stand https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod…_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it is super sturdy, but it takes up more room than a speaker cabinet.
I tried a smaller tripod projector stand and it seemed a little wobbly.
If I could find something like the Walmart folding one, that sits flat, but is made out of better materials, that would be ideal. I like having the storage space under it, rather than the tripod design.

I haven't bought a lot of liquid profiles yet, but it would be nice to have some "raw" baseline profiles, some tweaked profiles, and some performances. That's the way Bert's new profile packs are set up. I liked when Michael Britt started including the performances with his packs and I figure he'll do the same in his future liquid packs. It gives a good starting point.
One of my favorite things about the Kemper is how I can find rigs set up to sound good "out of the box". I wasn't having to constantly fiddle with knobs, swap cabs, change mic placement, etc. like I had to do in modelers. That was my #1 preference of a profiler over a modeler. Having the ability to make realistic tweaks with the tone stacks is a great improvement, but it would be nice to still have profiles sounded good "out of the box".
I really like how Bert's new packs have some "raw" baseline profiles, some tweaked profiles, and some performances. This makes it easier to find something I initially like and then slightly tweak it. Hopefully the other profile creators can do something similar to what Bert did in their future liquid profiling packs.
