Respectfully, the FM effect your talking about plays a minuscule if any part in what you are experiencing. What you are experiencing is the vast sound quality differences between studio monitors and PA speakers. . They are equed to sound "enjoyable" or if you are in a decent venue they are tuned to sound seasonably flat in the room. That will likely never result in hearing your guitar the way you want to hear it. The cheaper the speaker, the worse the sound is. Your Kemper will sound different through any speaker or headphones because they are are tuned differently.
@@StereoAnthony Thanks for your comment and I take your point but respectfully I still believe the Fletcher Munson effect is the main reason for the difference in sound between home and gig volume and here’s why…. In the early days of having a Kemper I set my rigs up in my home studio and EQ’d them to sound good though my Yamaha DXR10, a PA speaker. I then went to a rehearsal studio and played those rigs through exactly the same DXR10 speaker at gig volume and they all had a significant spike around 3k and sounded thin. I then applied the EQ logic outlined in my video and the rigs then sounded good through the DXR10 at gig volume…..and because of the EQ settings I applied, the rigs also then sounded good through the vast majority of PA systems that I get to use. So, whilst I agree that the quality of speakers certainly has a part to play, my personal experience suggests to me that the FM effect is the main reason for the difference in sound between home volume and gig volume. Regards.
Hey, If I were to use a cabinet to push some air behind on un powered toaster, How donwe go about that? Also, If am using IR's live and going into FOH what output settings are we to look at? During rehearsals, if it's just monitors we're going into what output selection do we choose? Thanks.
Hi and here are my thoughts on your 3 questions: As you have an unpowered toaster, if you want to use a regular guitar cab as a monitor, you'll need a power amp of some sort (e.g. Seymour Duncan Powerstage). Connect the monitor out of the Kemper to the power amp and then power amp -> cab. You can then use the Master Monitor EQ section of the Kemper to shape the sound coming out of the cab (if required). When going direct to FOH, I have my Master High Cut set to 5khz and Low Cut set to 80hz but if you 're using external IR's, I'd probably set the High and Low cut flat as the IR's will probably have a similar effect. If they're regular PA style monitors, it's no different to running to FOH.....i.e. take an XLR from the Kemper Main Out into the monitor, you can then use the Master EQ section in the Kemper to adjust the sound coming from the monitors. Hope that helps.
just what most kempers need to know when playing live, absolutely brilliant discipition on running your kemper live
@@brianleecooper1814 thanks Brian, very much appreciated 👍
Excellent video. 👋👋👋👍

Absolutely agree with that!!!

@@HD-ok1kg - Thanks for getting back. That helps. I'll try these out.
For rehearsal, these are floor monitors, so from Master EQ, tweak settings?
@@ajayburra6958 yes, that would be my approach 👍
@@HD-ok1kg- Great. I'll check these out. For some reason master output section shows Kemper Kone. I'll check.
