These Kempers are awesome pieces of engineering. I'm always impressed when I see a side by side comparison with the real thing. And I can totally understand why a touring musician will leave his beloved (vintage) tube-heads at home and go on tour with a Kemper.
Never thought of getting a kemper from being a tube amp advocate all the way, but now im really considering it because of all the amps i can get without worrying about if they go out of production before i get the chance to get them
Given a choice, I would pick all the tube amps in the world with pedals but I don have all the money in the world..so a kemper is great! Haha it’s no tube amp but it’s good
I had a few tube heads and combos and used the Two Notes Torpedo Studio, but wanted a more mobile option and decided to take the Kemper plunge. Now I don't own any of my tube amps or the Two Notes Studio. It's unbelievably amazing. Please note the Kemper is only as good as the profiles you're using. Spend the money on good profiles and you'll be set forever. It's also a bit of a steep-ish learning curve. There's lots of good youtube videos out there (tone junkie does great stuff on the kemper and their profiles are incredible as well). It's super convenient from recording at home to playing live, all I need to do is carry my toaster.
Totally unrelated, but I dig the pulled back fro. I’m bald af, so it’s all about the beard game here and seeing your hair gives me the “I wish” feeling, lol.
Had AxeFxIII for months now and compared to Kemper. No doubt now Kemper is still the best. Kind of upset because I always go back to Kemper... but want new product...!!!! Because!
Omg after 2 days of slaving away gulping down the coffee and generally not seeing daylight...that profile process would cause me to need serious medication...such dedication. You are next level for sure.
Hey Bea, I've finally subbed. I've been watching for a while cause your a really down to earth person with a great personality. I also like your playing, but I came to like you for you first. Keep up the great vibes and having fun while you do what you love, because everything you film and share is really cool. Peace N Love bro , keep on Rockin!
I can't afford the Kemper but I wish IK Multimedia or Eleven Rack did a Victory pack. Some day I will get a proper modeling amp, Or not. Keep up the great work Rabea!
Nice little demo vid. A Kemper's been in my list of things to get forever. I dunno why exactly, but this tone clone stuff has always fascinated me. It's crazy how close or even indistinguishable a lot of new profiles are when compared to the real amp. Related: they should make a software version and get more users that way. Kemper VST/AU/AAX all the way. LOL Cheers
You could do a video now that is rob chapman guessing if its the real victory or the victory kemper profile 🤙🏻 I think it would make a really good video
So let’s say you wanted to get the tones that he made in the video. Does he sell them on the website and you can download them? I’m still a little confused on how you get the amp tones/amps onto your own Kemper .
Thank you so much Bea for this video, really instructive for kemper users. At 8:18, if you re running in browser mode through your reference cab under the desk, are you turning off the "cabinet" button? and where these profiles will be available to buy? thank again
will you PLEASE do one of these for getting your tone on Boss Katana? I just got one and all the tones people have made who claim to have "Bea" tone are useless. Help??????????
Hello, I recently bought a chapman ML3 (your signature model Baritone) and I'm very happy, it sounds great on a Mesa Triple Crown, but can you tell me what is the tuning what's on your demo and pulling ropes? I do not know how it was granted original? (she was bought new at Thomann because I live in France)
Can I use a noise gate in the loop of the reference amp while profiling in high gain situations? Marshall JVMs are real noisy amps and I don't know if I need to have the amp in high volume while profiling.
I like the look of the Grossman Audio SG-Box Speaker Iso Cab too, which would be a great tool for making your own speaker impulse responses and Kemper Profiles \m/
Hey Rabea! I was asking myself where did you get your rack case for the Kemper? Love your music by the way, White Dove Solo gives me the chills everytime...
Please excuse my ignorance, and I do sort of get the technical stuff you're doing with the whole set-up and signal chain, but do you just pick up a guitar and noodle around with it for awhile to record the original amp tone, or is there something more methodical in the process I'm missing?
The Kemper itself acts as a signal generator which feeds into the amp being modeled. This makes it really easy for it to compare what it gets back with what it sent out.
Did you ever use your Torpedo or Ox instead of cabs for profiling? Would be interesting as a silent and maybe even more consistently reliable and manageable alternative.
I just bought a Kemper and it should come in the mail in the next few days! Does anyone know when these profiles might be available? I'd love to give them a whirl
Great video Rabea! I always wondered how profiles are created. It seems like a very lengthy process requiring lots of patience. How is your standpoint on "Amp Piracy"? I heard Dave Friedman say that he thinks profiling an amp and selling the profile is a sort of piracy, basically a little like napster for amps.
Haha yeah it is an arduous process at times. Well I guess my opinion is similar to DF, however as I work for Victory Amps, and they’ve asked me to make a Kemper profile pack of Victory amps, I’d say they’re either not precious at all, or they’re just smart hahah
Be well worth comparing the Kemper profiles to the Mooer Preamp Live profiling/tone match. I just ordered the Mooer but I don't have access to a Kemper lel.
You said it had a G12H-65...do you mean a G12M-65 or a G12H-75? I know people usually pair V30s with the H-75 but I’m curious how it would sound against an M-65
New York Islanders! Bea....we gotta talk brother haha We need to get you some Toronto Maple Leafs gear for this season. I mean Tavares is here now(Islanders Captain)...it's gunna be a fun season. But that aside, thank you for making this vid. HEAVILY considering a Kemper at the moment :D
Two things: this video shows the users playing weirdly voiced chords on many different parts of the neck during refine mode, at 2:53 ua-cam.com/video/3OiTBwdGWoU/v-deo.html 2) would have loved an A/B comparison of your real amp vs. the profile you made of it
I still dont really understand how you actually get to match the sound to a real amp... do you just start on the Kemper with an amp sim, like a plug-in or GarageBand and then tweak it from there so it sounds like your Kraken? Sry, I’m still confused haha
Bullnec no. The selected rig doesn't influence profiling. Kemper sends some signals through the amp, either including cab and mic, or just through amp, the resulting tone goes back to kemper and a "snapshot" of the amp is created. Then you can "refine" (play some guitar), which usually matches the tone closer.
I think Kemper is waiting until I buy one before they launch new hardware ; ) Anyone heard any rumors of a redesign? Not that it isn't sweet as is... Bea, that thumbnail is a dead ringer for Joe Cocker's singing face!
3:34 "Day 53, losing all hope, havent seen or heard a soul for days, almost all the water is gone, only half a melted twix left to eat, will this never end"
For the love of ___. I wish people would default to making merged profiles so we could use them with our traditional guitar cabinets. Disabling the cab in a studio profile just isn’t the same. We NEED those direct profiles. 😭
These Kempers are awesome pieces of engineering. I'm always impressed when I see a side by side comparison with the real thing. And I can totally understand why a touring musician will leave his beloved (vintage) tube-heads at home and go on tour with a Kemper.
IrrSinn Rainer Add the Kemper foot controller and your entire rig can be carried in a single bag. It’s quite liberating. Less cable mess on stage too.
Never thought of getting a kemper from being a tube amp advocate all the way, but now im really considering it because of all the amps i can get without worrying about if they go out of production before i get the chance to get them
I've got one and couldn't go back to a normal amp. I've got Dumbles, Two Rocks, Mesas, Marshalls on speed dial. It's been a game changer for me.

Two days later...a broken man.
Totally unrelated, but I dig the pulled back fro. I’m bald af, so it’s all about the beard game here and seeing your hair gives me the “I wish” feeling, lol.
Hey mate will you Upload those Profiles to the rig manager ?
dude that last one too
Had AxeFxIII for months now and compared to Kemper. No doubt now Kemper is still the best. Kind of upset because I always go back to Kemper... but want new product...!!!! Because!

Are the profilers available for purchase if so sent a link . I love the you play you have so mush talent. Fan for life .take care buddy.
Even though the Kemper is worth 5x my car, I still enjoy watching Bea messing around with gear ahah
Love it man ! See ya in November \m/
Use a phase meter in Logic or PT or whatever your DAW is. Then you know for sure you're in phase.
I can't afford the Kemper but I wish IK Multimedia or Eleven Rack did a Victory pack. Some day I will get a proper modeling amp, Or not. Keep up the great work Rabea!

Where can we get them??
Thanks Rabea, being a new Kemper owner I want to profile my PRS Custom 50 Combo...this is very helpful. Cheers
So nice Video. Very cool Rabea that you use more mics 🤘🏼
You could also use plugins like Little Labs IBP or Waves InPhase to further adjust phase or even cancel out some unwanted rumble
when will these be available to buy?
What he said^ Are these going to be available to download???
TripleP check the victory amps website. They’re officially released there per amp and a bundle profile package
have you made D.i. profiles too? imo they are simply the best, especially when you play with a guitarcab and the kemper live
You could do a video now that is rob chapman guessing if its the real victory or the victory kemper profile 🤙🏻 I think it would make a really good video
I'd be interested in any patches you created on the Helix, as your next challenge...
WOW bea, you are amazing, i' love everything you do, come to argentina with Dorje and toska please!!!
Thanks, man. Always informative to see these little bits.
Complicated stuff....I just plug into my amp and that it
and i can plug into 954 amps in my kemper, that's the difference
Woow this is the same room you guys used to record your first album in back when you had your JVM and washburn before you even had a sig...
the deconstructed fretboard birds are super cool. I know that this is super not what this video is about, but they super jumped out at me.
Super
Too much work for me lol.
Any specific reason you like kemper not axe fx?
So let’s say you wanted to get the tones that he made in the video. Does he sell them on the website and you can download them? I’m still a little confused on how you get the amp tones/amps onto your own Kemper .
Great video. ..would love to have that Laney 4×12 cab by your isolation box.
Thank you so much Bea for this video, really instructive for kemper users. At 8:18, if you re running in browser mode through your reference cab under the desk, are you turning off the "cabinet" button? and where these profiles will be available to buy? thank again
Thanks Rebea, you are a good man all the way around.
will you PLEASE do one of these for getting your tone on Boss Katana? I just got one and all the tones people have made who claim to have "Bea" tone are useless. Help??????????
5:38 - does the return level decide on how loud is my profile? All clean profiles I create are really quiet

Hey Rabea! I was asking myself where did you get your rack case for the Kemper? Love your music by the way, White Dove Solo gives me the chills everytime...
Love those bird inlays on that PRS!
Where can I get a hold of these profiles?? Please...
Please excuse my ignorance, and I do sort of get the technical stuff you're doing with the whole set-up and signal chain, but do you just pick up a guitar and noodle around with it for awhile to record the original amp tone, or is there something more methodical in the process I'm missing?

As Scott says more to it ... go to 6:40 in the video
Ha! When it cut to the last section, you had the “I’ve been in this room for 2 solid days, let me OUT!” face 😂😂😂
Any news about when we'll see the pack, Rabea? Thanks
Is the JCM900 just for holding up the Victory, or is it being used for something?
Just bought a ticket to your concert in Paris ;) Can´t wait =)
Did you ever use your Torpedo or Ox instead of cabs for profiling? Would be interesting as a silent and maybe even more consistently reliable and manageable alternative.
I just bought a Kemper and it should come in the mail in the next few days! Does anyone know when these profiles might be available? I'd love to give them a whirl
Great tone as usual!

Well I guess my opinion is similar to DF, however as I work for Victory Amps, and they’ve asked me to make a Kemper profile pack of Victory amps, I’d say they’re either not precious at all, or they’re just smart hahah
I would love to try these out... where can I get them from?
Cool video, very informative. And that did sound like absolute terror when it was profiling! lol
if you were only using 2 microphones you could use the BAE 1073MPF Dual with Steve Stevens summing mod
Sounds awesome from the clips of you playing! Are these going to be on the rig exchange? Or are you going to release a profile pack for sale?
Be well worth comparing the Kemper profiles to the Mooer Preamp Live profiling/tone match. I just ordered the Mooer but I don't have access to a Kemper lel.
Is Victory still against direct amp profiles of their amps ?
Is there anyway to profile an existing guitar track?
That prs is amazing, great video man
Strap-wear on T-shirt print = dedication
You said it had a G12H-65...do you mean a G12M-65 or a G12H-75?
I know people usually pair V30s with the H-75 but I’m curious how it would sound against an M-65
That's a really smart way to do this. Will you be selling these profiles? I'll be stealing this method to profile my Bogners.
When I connect my IEM to the headphone Jack it sounds thin and dry... any advice? Thanks
Do you think dorje could record reunited? Thanks in advance
Dude I saw your set at Islington was dope as fuck, glad I got to see you after following you for so long
NY Islanders shirt spotted! Are you a hockey fan, Bea?
Respect to You!
Are these profiles being released?
does someone have good recommendations of some nice kemper profiles?
This totally needs a follow-up video of the profiled amps vs. the real thing.
is it also like this to create ir's?
Awesome :D love your kemper vidéo !
New York Islanders! Bea....we gotta talk brother haha We need to get you some Toronto Maple Leafs gear for this season. I mean Tavares is here now(Islanders Captain)...it's gunna be a fun season.
But that aside, thank you for making this vid. HEAVILY considering a Kemper at the moment :D
Dude! Love the shirt!
I'll gladly buy this package when it comes out. You're saving me a bit of hassle I think! 😂
This is some love from Frog Leap Studios)
loving the profile name for your settings fella :-)
Thank you for sharing dude!
Two things: this video shows the users playing weirdly voiced chords on many different parts of the neck during refine mode, at 2:53 ua-cam.com/video/3OiTBwdGWoU/v-deo.html
2) would have loved an A/B comparison of your real amp vs. the profile you made of it
Bea the beast Massaad!
why not to start improving the Tube/Digital marriage amps?!!!
I still dont really understand how you actually get to match the sound to a real amp...
do you just start on the Kemper with an amp sim, like a plug-in or GarageBand and then tweak it from there so it sounds like your Kraken? Sry, I’m still confused haha

If only you made some presets for the axe fx 2 xl
Bea, did you just make a noise album unintentionally???
Please either sell or share these profile Bea!!
Hey, Bea. Love everything about the video except the shirt. Let's go Rangers
I think Kemper is waiting until I buy one before they launch new hardware ; ) Anyone heard any rumors of a redesign? Not that it isn't sweet as is...
Bea, that thumbnail is a dead ringer for Joe Cocker's singing face!
Interesting. Great tone :-)
WoW
Awesome
I hope you can get Kraken right.. nobody did it so far.
Just curious, you mentioned that you have a V30 speaker and a G12H 65 but there is no such thing. There's a G12 65 or a G12H 55 or a G12H 75.
Phase is a bitch.
best thumbnail hah
Wow, a lot of confusing stuff. But, it sounds cool. :)

Im here because thumbnail
Now I want one so I can just profile all my friends amps....then ILL have ALL THE AMPS😳
Yo, yo!
,,thats amazing,,, but definitely a rich mans game!!!!
Either your fucking huge your you put your guitar in the dryer for too long! But either way, your vids are fucking gold mate! Cheers, Lucius
But... wz dem profilez innit?
