Which stock profiles are you using on the Kemper?
Thank you!
@@bradthree3962can we also get the answer please?
I must say, I am more of an 80’s metal enthusiast, but that Engl Powerfall ll, from Guido, is an excellent profile.
Jim Mc Dougall yes I agree! I had to include some ENGL stuff since I own an ENGL Savage
Great video! awesome
Great video!!
Awesome demo and playing. Really dig some of the rhythm melodies.
Thanks for watching!
Great video!!!! I'll try em because all the rigs that I tried really sounds muddy and without definition as a Helix Floor
Fantastic Brad!!
Diane Dial thanks for watching!
Killer demo ❤️
That is so close to the sound and tone I'm looking for! The first one really sounds badass!
Thanks brother! Are you using kemper stage/toaster/rack?
Not surprised that you selected those rigs from Lars Luettge as the first ones. His profiles are very good (by the way, they sell them as Deadlight Studio now, previously Tone Hammer). I use his Mars 1960AV cab all the time in other Merged or DI profiles. Rarely they sound worse with this cab. Try it and let me know what you think, or if you found another Marshall 1960 with V30s cab on the Kemper that you like more. I have a real one and tend to use merged or DI profiles on it with my powered Kemper (monitor cab off) but load a similar profiled cab in the cabinet module to have the most similar sound on my IEMs and FOH to my cab if it was miced.
Wow nice! Planning to get myself a toaster... Great tone and playing!
Thanks!
Amazing metal sounds and amazing playing! Thinking of getting the kemper profiler stage for gigs...do you know if the same profiles are available On that one too?
Yes you should be able to get all the same profiles for free on the kemper website if they are not already on your unit when you get it.
Nice job! Sounds great. I’m using Britt’s “Crank n Go” and “2020” profile packs. My current “live” Performance I use the most is a derivative of his Friedman BE50 Deluxe Performance he includes in the “Crank n Go” pack...it’s excellent! Cuts very nicely in a live setting.👍🏼
I love the Britt stuff, sounds so good!
Nice video! Did you have to tweak at all? I highly recommend the Ready To Play series from Choptones.
No tweaking at all. Just raw out of the kemper into interface. No post processing either. I wanted people to hear the raw sound
Oh, that Marshall YJM 100!!!
Brand new to the Kemper. Great video! Did use stock drum tracks for this? If so, please share.
I used one of the metal drum kits from EZdrummer 2
Killer playing man. I have a completely off topic question, what workstation desk is that you’ve got? I really want to take my kemper out of the rack and mount it where it’s easier to reach.
Unfortunately I don’t have that desk anymore I converted to a L-shaped desk that’s made of glass and I added a riser for my dual monitors. I’ll be doing a video soon with my new setup. Thanks for watching!
I have a toaster on the way...first time user. I can't WAIT to get this thing and see what it can do. Really surprised by that Randall patch. They all sounded really good though.
John Munder you’re gonna love it! I’m still exploring with new sounds all the time. Endless options. Thanks or watching!
Nice profiles!! I love that guitar bro, what is that model??
Ibanez STM1 - Sam Totman (Dragonforce) signature guitar
Very nice Video! For Metal I play with: TH - Diesel Herb Mk1 D 1, GB - Engle Powerfall II, TH - MeBo Duel Rect F 45, MB - Fried Man 4. I have my kemper stage from Augusti 2019 and I didn't buy any commercial profile.
Those are great profiles! Honestly I still haven’t bought any commercial profiles yet either
Sick riffs bruh.
Nate Beal thanks brother!!
The bets profiles for my set up : Choptones and STL has some really good ones for metal. If you want to do classic rock less overdriven sounds check out mores STL and Michael Brit profiles are nice. In general if the profile is not VERY near what I am looking for, then I just erase. I feel fortunate because I only need one rig and with the Kemper I feel it's endless. Best piece of equipment I have ever purchased hand down.
I agree! Kemper is a game changer! Much more convenient and versatile.
Jake Kiley from Strung Out uses the triple rec stock profile with a few stock boost pedals he said in a recent interview.
That’s crazy I didn’t know that! I was so impressed by what came stock on the profiler.
Brad Three Yeah I was thinking he was going to say some elaborate profile. But just a stock Mesa profile. Lol
Stephen Dre Keep it simple!!
Wow sounds are great! I 'm wondering how many tracks did you record? 1L 1R only or more than that?
Yes that’s correct only 1L and 1R and then for the lead that was panned in the center
@@bradthree3962 Thanks for answer. I 'll try that, I hope I 'll get sound that you had. thanks again.
@@cbmnightspirit no problem! Hit me up if you have any more questions
Sick Iceman
Thank you! I may do a video on that guitar and a before/after of upgrades to it
Check out the Kieth Merrow stuff bro they’re pretty good for stock profiles.
Guitarist Josh Bailey ya I almost chose one of his for this video. Honestly there are so many great sounding profiles stock, it was hard to choose.
I used an uberschall profile which was either stock or from rig exchange, it was the best tone I ever had in my life. Even my guitarist-producer friends were amazed. After hearing these, I feel bummed out for selling my toaster. I was itching for more tweakability and got the FM3 a couple of weeks ago. Still haven't managed to get palm mutes to punch as hard as from KPA.
I have friends that use fractal and helix. In my opinion nothing comes close to sounding like the kemper.
I was unsure which one I should buy, the Fractal or the Kemper. Thanks for the clarification. I think I‘m sold on the KPA now.
@@flowryan5829 Good choice, my friend!
@@flowryan5829 Didn't try the Axe fx 3, some say there is a difference between it and the FM3, but so far I'm not blown away by the tones as I was with a Kemper (not even by the youtubers that showcased it before it became officially available to the public). Still haven't given up on it, though. I say go for the Kemper 100%, you're gonna like the 'uniqueness' that some profiles bring, you're gonna like the cleans and I need to mention that I also had a bass tone profile that I loved. When you get it, have in mind that searching for the right profile can be a long process, but don't give up.
@@suniso370 I‘m really looking forward to the search. That‘ll be some fun for sure!
I like the first one the best! 😛
Julia Rose thank you for watching!
My man with the Sam Totman!
You’re one of the few ppl to actually know what guitar that is 😛
@@bradthree3962 🤘
You and John Huldt would probably enjoy talking guitar playing, gear, and whatnot :)
Eric Peterson I don’t know him. A friend of yours?
@@bradthree3962 Yes, he's on FB.
What’s your opinion on the Kemper? Is it easy to use for a beginner,hows the sound compare with a good valve amp?
There’s a bit of a learning curve for beginners if I’m being honest. However, there are a lot of good kemper beginner tutorials here on UA-cam so it’s definitely doable.
As far as sound goes - on a recording it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between kemper and a real amp. You’ll hear a difference when you’re in the room with a real amp vs kemper because valve amps just move more air, but once they are mic’d up side by side the difference is almost non existent in my opinion.
I have the Randall Diavlo 45 and it sounds just like that profile
Thanks for watching!
Would liked to have heard them with no production just raw.
🤘🤘
Thanks for watching!
Was there any mixing on this or were the guitars raw?
No mixing, just raw guitar sound
@@bradthree3962 damn that's sick man
4 rhythm guitars! Left and right? Thanks
1 left 1 right
So like if I was going to play a gig with this how would that work?
Several options:
1 - direct output to FOH speakers
2 - output to a speaker cab like a normal amp
3 - Both (this is what I do because it’s the best of both world in my opinion)
Happy to help more if you have questions
I could only find 1 preset. could this change in newer Kempers?
Yes the newer versions/software updates may come with different stock profiles but all the profiles I used should still be available for download.
The Kemper itself comes loaded with what is called Factory Content 5.0, 7.5, 8.0 or whatever version of the OS came your Kemper from factory. Kemper releases more free content time, but the Factory Content of your device remains the same of the OS version you got. This means that even if you update the Kemper to new OS versions, the Factory Content is not loaded to the newer version unless you put your unit to Factory Defaults. But all the free content, old and new, is always available in Rig Manager. That includes currently Factory Content 8.0 as well as other packs that do not come loaded in the Kemper, but are fun to try like the recent Legends Tribute Collection pack. By the way, the Factory Content does not only include rigs and rig packs, but PRESETS too. Also present in Rig Manager.
Oh, and by the way, Janusz O., don't mistake the PRESETS for RIGS or PROFILES. They are not the same, even if preset is the word used in other devices to call a particular "sound". In the Kemper a Profile is a snapshot of an amp. A Rig is a complete signal chain from input to output, including stomps, effecs, amp, cab... And finally a Preset is a stored setting for ANY module or effect of the Kemper. That could be a preset of an effect like reverb, a preset of the input module, or the output... Even you can store and load Cabinets as presets and work with them like IRs. Different cabs make a huge difference.
@@RichiAtlanticWind thanks!!!! Very comprehensive answer. I did have a look in all free profiles in rig manager but I will revisit it for sure
@@RichiAtlanticWind thanks for helping me out with that question! Much better answer than I gave 😂😂😂
Were those all original riffs?
Yes sir
I’m having a hard time picking a modeler. Kemper, Fractal, or the Quad Cortex?
I’ve used them all and I prefer the kemper. Mostly because that’s what I’m used to at this point. They are all good units honestly… you really can’t go wrong here
@@bradthree3962 I was thinking kemper since it’s profiling real amps. I have no amps to profile, but it’s my understanding you don’t HAVE to do that. I come from a plugin background, so I lean in the side of tech over tubes.
My issue with fractal is the bad interface, and my issue with the QC is we’re three years in from the reveal at NAAM with all the promises that are still unmet. Kemper, to me, sounds like the choice for a matured metalhead like myself rather than the Line 6 type of approach from the others. Does that sound accurate to you?
@@thisguy2973 yes I would agree with that. Another thing to consider is that the Kemper is 11 years old at this point and is still competing with brand new units and adding new features (without any extra cost), which I think is impressive. That means if you bought it 11 years ago you are still getting free updates.
A lot of touring professionals rely on the kemper every night and so that speaks a lot about it’s reliability and consistency.
What cab do you use?
In this video it’s all direct into the DAW, no cab. Just the profile the way it was made with whatever cab it was recorded with.
@@bradthree3962 thanks for replying so quickly! So nothing changed on the daw side and mic/cab sim done by the kemper?
@@jamesgreen6648 yes no EQ or anything just straight outta the kemper into Cakewalk
@@bradthree3962 well sounds great and awesome riffs, thanks for your help
Ingested uses kemper
I don't think you said stock enough. Or out of the box. Maybe 60 more times each and you'd be set.
Hi friend.Greeting from Chile. Your channel looks so cool. I'm subscribed to your channel. I have a channel too.
Rubén Alonso Vigueras Salazar thanks for watching!
Why not show what they sound like without backing track?
That’s a good point I probably should have. If I do another kemper video I definitely will
@@bradthree3962 Thanks, I liked your video and was just missing the isolated tracks 👍
