My Kemper Review & Goodbye
Here's my review of the Kemper Powered Rack after owning and touring 3 of them for the last 5 years. While I only used 10% of the functions of them in this video it's about how I did end up using it. I was super excited to pick up the Kemper Player and look forward to building our new rig around these cool units.

Touring with In Ear Monitors! - My IEM Fly rig with Playback, Guitar & Bass.
Переглядів 2,6 тис.6 місяців тому
This is our Full Flyrack IEM, Guitar & Playback Rig. We used this on our opening slot for the Alpha Wolf, King 810, Ten56 Europe tour in April 2023. Since that time we have built a few revisions of this which you can see at the end of this video, there will be a new video of this next. Wheres the laptop? THERE ISNT ONE. maybe the only rig on YT lol. Why I use the term "Silent Stage" is because ...
1000$ for Updates, have fun 🤡
Love that little dive bomb pinch harmonic!
It’s tasty aye hahah surprised I landed it that well. Check out Xile - World Demise song, that riff is at the end!
Hi, What profile are you using? Sounds good!
That’s the Lance Prenc Kemper pack, he’s mixes and masters all the Xile stuff and we use the tones live. Sounds tasty eh
Great vid! My other guitar player uses one of these and I use the QC. Both sound great together. I originally was gonna get the KPP but at the time it was out of stock for a while. Also nice Guilt Trip shirt! We are touring with them in Europe at the end of Feb super psyched! Looking forward to more vids
Oh yo! Yeah I agree most of the top tier stuff like KPP and QC are all awesome, maybe I just like the colour green haha. Oh yo you’re touring with Guilt Trip? I see you on IG, we actually played together on the same stage in 2013, New England metal hardcore fest when I was in Antagonist AD.
I wish we got our quad cortex for free 😂
Me too brother! Haha I wonder if anyone will see it and say they did 🤣 not that it’s a problem, good for you etc etc
Around the redundancy thing, the bands that a probably running the redundant QC probably also have redundant playback with the iconnectivity stuff. Seems to be a trend currently. I can definitely say that our QC has been rock solid, but I guess we aren’t being paid nearly enough to make a redundant setup worthwhile. The question is would these bands also rock redundant axefx or kemper, or real amps?
This is mad interesting. Keen to see a run down of your guitars too.
Thanks bro! I’m keen to tell the story of my ESP M1 being stolen haha
Woah this is cool
Thanks! I’m gunna do a more detailed run of the main unit and all the custom wiring behind!
Xile approves this message 😂
Good to know lol
Thank you for this video! Can you do another video on your tone?? Please n thanks!!
Thanks bro, can do that For sure!
FYI ....Kemper profiler player boots up soooo much quicker....
Oh dude it’s so much quicker aye! Love it
I loike hoaw he tists the tornes but I keent steend heez axint. Tuner = Choonah.
Hahahahha love me a choon bro
Luke buddy mate, if you're in a band why do you have the grooming of a AFL football player?
I just googled a AFL player lol should I look better or worse - I’m so confused 🤣
@@Luke_Manson Point being, you look more 'Sport' than 'Rock'. Very neat & clean looking, Luke.
Sport then rock hahahaha I’ll take it! Sporty Spice instead of Nasty Spice.
You can set the main volume knob to only affect your monitor or cab volume. You can also lock the buttons to not accidentally change something. Tuner mode I always do via footswitch/remote.
Thanks for that info bro, I’ve been testing it all in the app too. I wish there was a doom switch when you flick it nothing on the front panel works lol
Craaaazy how much the quad costs down there, here in sweden it is the equivalent of 1 657 USD or 2964 NZD which is definitely worth it for a unit as powerful as the quad cortex.
True, no denying how good they are. Maybe I’m just jealous 🤣
Mad vid, looking forward to what you do next! Wristwatch review??
I’ll be reviewing giving you a whack 🤣
The Monitor Outs on the Player are Balanced TRS not TS, they carry the same +4dBu signal as the XLR. And of course you have ten banks with five rigs not two banks.
You’re totally right :)
Great review 🔥
Thank you 🤗 glad you enjoyed it!
Now I feel like I am stalking you, first the fly rig post and now this!
Haha I’ve been sitting on this one for like 3 months now! Glad to finally get it out!
nice rigs
Thankyou bro! I’ll be posting a more I depth of the back of the IEM part soon.
Sick vid Luke !! Quick Q, what are those rack shells ? They are super low profile, ideal for slapping in a peli, do you have a brand I can look for ?
Thanks man! They’re the SKB iSeries Injection-Molded 9" Fly Rack (3 RU) & 4RU. Beast! The 9inch is the key, the full size are too big and deep. That’s what’s she said!
@@Luke_Manson haha excellent, looked them up looks perfect - appreciate it !!
This is insightful, thanks from synthesis ;)
My pleasure!
awesome rig!
Thanks! Appreciate that 🙏
Nice insights !!
Thanks mate!
Thanks for watching!
That's so interesting. Are these earbuds custom-made for you?
yeah they are! they pour goo into your ear for the moulds, its very interesting lol
Tell me more! 🔥
Check the related video for the full rig run down!
All this just to go 4-1-3-1
The quest for the perfect 0-1-1-00 continues!
Here to say ! You’re the funniest ahah
Big fan of the stage monitors in your ears! The same custom stereo mix every night, yes please 🙏
Agreed!
The organisational freak in loves the Pelican moulds
haha yeah man, I actually left the Pelican open with the unmolested foam for months in my lounge, just visualising what could be put in there and how it would fit it before I stared to remove the foam. I set it up the day before the tour and it turned out just like it did in my mind!
This is an awesome rig man. Really well thought out, nice custom cabling. AVB and those SquarePlug SP550s 😙👌Have you played many rooms where the Dante would come in handy or is it more just futureproofing (and because you can/building this shit is fun)?
Hey bro thanks for that! I will do a rig down of the top half in the back there is ALOT of custom cables back in there. AVB with motu is awesome, I have a crazy plan for A new stage box using the 8m and a 1248 and their outputs sent to a Cymatic track 24 for recording and use the Motu AVB ultra lite to run the IEMs. Which leaves the b16 out of the system. Regarding the Square plug TRS i dont recommend them, they look good in theory and the TS works good but the TRS is not great, if you touch them on the combo jack input they make noise, Ill be switching my 8m inputs to the witchcraft low profile XLRS. I dont have a alternative for the 8 TRS square plugs feeding the IEM signals out of the 8m but I want to 3d print some parts for this rig and I have a plane to clean up that area along with mounting the AVB router on a 3d printed bracket. I havent played a room with Dante or maybe I have, i just saw the presnosus AVB to Dante converter and got stars in my eyes for the 1 out of 100 times I'll ever use it lol. I also maybe wanted to use the converter with my Cymatic Utrack 24 with a dante expansion card, but since it's been discontinued i have no idea where to find it. ,maybe second hand. The persons converter has 2 Dante outputs, so i could use 1 output send 16 channels to the cymatic to record the live set and the Dante output 2 16 channels to FOH.
@@Luke_Manson oh man that’s a shame about the TRS Squareplugs. I use the TS ones all over my pedalboards w/Mogami 2314. They fit so snug. I’ll have to keep an eye out on the TRS ones, tho I’m only using them for stereo rather than balanced stuff. AVB seems pretty awesome and I’m kinda surprised that it hasn’t had more adoption in the interface market. Apparently the macOS drivers have a bit of latency but it seems to work great between MOTU devices. I’m sure you’ll make some sound engineer’s day one day rocking up and having them plug a single Ethernet cable into your rig instead of a dozen XLRs. Def keen to see more rundowns on this kinda kit. It’s awesome to see how people are doing it at pretty-DIY-but-big tour scale these days instead of renting a couple of 5150s and an Ampeg fridge and shoving it in a trailer.
How do you actually mix your inears though? Connect to the mixer with tablet/phone??
Hey bro, we usually nail our mixes at band practise weeks leading up to the shows with a laptop connected, then at the show/soundcheck we can change anything with our personal phones on Motu’s App. ;)
I like the part where you spent the entire video showing off the rig to a quick cut showing it’s almost completely different now 😂
Heh heh heh 😈 Saved the best for last!
Big ups the rig-king Neil!
Hugeeeee Missing ya big man! Need you back in Manny soon 😎
Back soon bro!
@@Luke_Manson looking forward to it! 💪
Dude this is awesome. I love how clean it is and your cable management is on point!!!
Thanks man, my latest Version 2.0 is even cooler!
the rig god
Must keep the rota & rig gods happy bro!
Awesome video, Luke. Lots of thought put into this setup.
Thanks man, appreciate that.
Clean af!! Hyped to see you guys again in August!!
Sick bro cheers!
Yo see you in August!
Rad, one of the more unique set ups I’ve seen. Great explanation on how it all works.
Thanks man! Europe, UK, Japan, Aus and NZ tours under its belt and hasn't skipped a beat!
Love this! Would love to see the current rig rundown. Was thinking of running a helix stomp w the quilter od similar to kurt ballou live rig. How do you guys do it with the smaller stage w stage sound? Do you power cabs?
hey bro! thanks heaps, I will do a current run down soon :D. So we always have powered cabs if we can, the rack Kempers you see there are the 600W powered models and the bass head is also powered. We've brought 3 of the new*ish* Kemper profile player pedals and using them with the Seymour duncan power stage 170. That way we can take the power amp to the shows we need it and leave it at home for the shows we dont. We stayed Kemper because we already have the tones and know the system. The rack was also overkill considering we never profiled anything ever lol and we also use 1 tone for the whole set so the 3 Player profile buttons are also 2 too many :D. Hope that helped!
@Luke_Manson Thanks for the reply, and I'll keep a look out for the next one! The podcast is great too!
Hands down the best run through of an IEM I’ve seen!
Cheers brother!
Xile NZs #1 Beatdown band
