Bass liquids please

For crying out loud, start with ONE single bass tone stack. I don't care who's it is, make a generic one...just turn the stock EQ knobs into bass frequencies is all I ask for. I can't even believe I'm asking this, as any device like the Kemper that is as complicated, amazing, and digital should have some way to make the EQ work correctly for bass guitars.

I don't understand why Kemper hasn't made things more bass-friendly. I really don't. I love mine for bass, but it's compromised with the EQ, it really is. A bass-chorus FX, some basic bass specific help is not a huge ordeal to implement.

Bass players love this stuff as much as guitar players, trust me, maybe moreso. They are open to almost anything, not stuck in tradition so much.

Anyone have any insider scoop? Are we ever going to get at least a few Liquid Profiles for bass? COME ON KEMPERS!

You do have a "mixer" built in the Kemper. I run a single cable from the mixer monitor send for me into the Aux stereo inputs on the Kemper, L + R. Then take the headphone out on front and go right into my in-ear system. With the correct output settings, you get a mix of the IEM input and your guitar (in my case, bass) right out the headphone jack. Hit the Output button scroll to a particular screen and you have the ability to change the level of that aux input with a knob. It works perfect. WHen I get to a gig, we do a soundcheck, and all I have to do is turn this knob to get a new balance of my bass and everyone else. It changes slightly per room I find. Then I'm good. If I'm playing along and want a touch more of my bass, I just go in there and turn down everyone else a few clicks, and I'm all set.

I wanted to purposefully not use a separate mixer as I wanted my whole setup to fit in a 4 space rack. But I used a cheapo Rolls box to do the same thing. There's one in particular that combines a stereo input for your IEM feed, a mono/stereo guitar input, and even a xlr mic input with passthrough. So that would accomplish the same thing without using the Aux inputs on a Kemper. The Stage can do it, but you don't have an Aux input, so you can use the Return inputs instead.

are the center frequencies for bass, mid, treble at least close to what's on an actual typical bass amp? I know all bass amps vary, but I just want to actually use those knobs and get similar response in my ears that a real bass amp would give me. The freqs are so "off" now that I quit using the eq completely and load up the studio eq and use bass amp freqs to tweak things.

One simple, even a generic actual bass amp liquid profile would be good enough. I just don't understand why this wasn't included in the list of profiles at the start. One actual bass amp is it. Jeez. That's not asking much at all. Or, let us change the actual frequencies and Q of those 4 tone knobs. Done.

I didn't bother trying it because I assumed I'd need a down button too. Sometimes I use a 2 button footswitch, one for a Chorus, and as of now, one to tune...but if I could cycle through the 3 slots with that button 2, up, up, up and back to slot 1, I'd be good to go when I don't want to bring the Remote with me.

Can I use one button to just go through the slots? I only use 3 at a time. Just tap to go to next in a circle?

I'd be happy with ONE single profile so I can go back to using the bass, treble, mid, knobs instead of the studio eq through a menu.

One generic bass amp tone stack is good enough. ONE!!!!!! Pick one, don't care, Ampeg svt or anything.

The Shure systems, both 1/2 rack and pedal, are my favorites just for the "no AA needed" format. The 1/2 rack version of the GLX16 even has a slot to put a battery in and charge it, right on the front. So I bought a 2nd and simply keep one charging always. It's really a great way to do that. Even using rechargeable AA batteries is less fun for me. Not to mention the insane battery life of the Shure transmitter. 10+ hours easily on a charge.

Hi! I would go for a Shure GLXSD16, but it's like 10 years old or so, and it's out of production. Similar new product is the Sennheiser XSW-D. Both got tuner. Really good for small gigs.

There is a new GLXSD16 out, with better features to help with interference, same price as before. Just saying. I love mine and also have the 1/2 rack version for my kemper. Been very, very reliable.

I thought they had a place in Colorado for repairs. I went to the Chicago showroom but I don’t th8nk they do repairs.

Time stamps? That has nothing to do with the regular clock used to see what time it is.

It’s on the Remote just as a handy thing, not to time stamp anything.

I’m done with this I guess. Why I bother replying to a stranger hell bent on being right no matter what, I’ll never know.

If your putting a clock on for time, then a 12 or 24 format should be included. Period.

I want a proper 12 hour clock. The same type of clock the entire country uses every day of every week. I see zero reasons this can’t be implemented easily and cheaply.

And I don’t give a crap if you or anyone else thinks I should do math to check the time.

The end.

Yes

Ha, pos was indeed supposed to be POD.

Classic

Generically speaking, every modeler I’ve had going back to the first Pos claimed to model the tone stack in some form. That was the whole point of them digital models of hardware down to the littlest degree.

I had a fractal and the tone stack part was not independent of the rest of the model. Hard to even imagine what they could claim copyright on a product that no one has seen, heard, or studied. But every other modeler and plug-in is clean.

Can’t wait to play with this feature though.

how can fractal claim patent beefs when the thing isn't even released yet? Seems a bit premature to me to start that type of crap.

Again, I'd rather have the ability to just set the Freq and maybe Q for the 4 EQ knobs, on any rig or performance patch. Then we'd not need a tone stack swap. It still kind of boggles my mind that fixed EQ is standard on Kempers. It's all digital, eq need not be fixed to frequencies only for a generic guitar. In fact, you wouldn't need tone stack modeling at all if you could just make your own eq settings. You could check with the amp you modeled, and punch in the frequencies at least in your rig to match. Would it be perfect? Of course not, but if you model a certain Marshall, and the bass, treble and mid eq frequencies matched, then you'd be that much closer to having it react similar to the real amp. Without any type of Liquid layer being needed. Just a thought. I'm biased as a bass player, as my TC RH bass amps all let me do this with ease.

Yeah, I’m so stupid I can’t do math. Sure, that’s it then, that must be it. What a dumb idiot. People who don’t want to do math every time they look at the time on my Remote, truly stupid.

Maybe if cars in the US only put kilometers on the dash, but they left all the speed limit signs in miles. Just do the math while driving. Makes sense.

Why not post prices of gasoline on the signs for liters. But charge you and dispense in gallons. Just do the math.

Math should not be needed to check the time at a glance.
