HW you were always good but these recent tutorials, you’ve just been killing it. I’ve always had trouble understanding how to work the EQ properly but the mystery is over. Keep it coming. God bless and stay safe!!!
Man you really ARE a tone junkie...these videos point out where to go and what to do to really shape that perfect sound on the Kemper, like taking a diamond and making it shine, shine....so good to know there's guys like you out there, obsessed by SOUND! Cool stuff
You have so much knowledge and understanding of tone and I love listening to you talk about it. I’ve struggled with getting my suhr alt t pro to sound good through my kemper and I’ve always stayed away from 8 band EQ until this video. Thank you so much for explaining this.
HW, best explanation I've ever seen re EQ for guitar. I just retired and bought a Kemper and your site is my first stop shop for the info that opens the box up for me. Thanks and please keep 'em coming! :) Andy in Oz
I've just downloaded your free pack and discovered your 1964 AC10 Twin B3 profile, and for that alone I'm now keeping the Kemper! I was about to return it. Can't believe Kemper don't include more commercial profiles when buying, many must get returned based on people just not finding the right profiles.
You really do an awesome job at conveying your excitement; I can tell you’re passionate about this stuff, and it makes it much easier for me to learn, because it’s more interesting with the way you present it.
I wonder if the EQ is actually affecting harmonics and overtones more than the direct pitch as a guitar in standard tuning ranges from about 82 hz for the low E to 329 hz for the high E. The highest note on a guitar is somewhere close to 1300 hz.
Found this while browsing and the tips here are brilliant. Totally changed the way that I think of EQ. Took the ideas and transferred them to the Torpedo Captor X,
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Mr HW as this has helped me immensly not just cause I am new to Kemper but I have been farting around with the learning on how to try to use EQ on my DAW Cubase Pro 9. Applying this to the DAW and getting some decent results.. Did I say Thank you...?
Love what you do thanks. I noticed you didn't have the Kabinet for a while now it is back. I would like to hear you more about the Kabinet. I am afraid getting the Kabinet would end up being fun for the player but confusing when it comes to produce the sound the audience will be listening to. What's the point dialing a great sound on the Kabinet if it sounds thinner or different in the mix. Can you elaborate on how you can find satisfaction of the amp in the room pleasure with the sound in the mix quality. I think helping navigating both experiences would make a great video.
I've actually been using the Kab since I got it I just move it off screen sometimes so I can show the amp that I profiled sometimes. Before the Kab my favorite FRFR was the Friedman ASM12. The Kabinet is by far the best! It doesn't have that Hi Fi sound its more true to an amp in the room experience. I'm mostly using it without the speaker imprints so I'm just listening to the profiles and the profiled cab section from each profile and I've never been happier. When all this craziness ends and I can compare it a little better. I haven't played out of the house in about 2 months. :)
Hi HW... Thanks for this video which is extremely clear and very useful. Nice job Man! There is only one detail ... my Kemper does'nt show vertical bars for equalization but only horizontal ones for each frequency that is modified. In practice, the entire sequence of parameters is not graphically seen. Thanks again!
HW I can't thank you enough for this You've given me the tools to make my Tele sing and my semi acoustic sit exactly where I need it This gets rid of that over distorted top end 10 k and presence down 😎😁
This video is amazing I'm loving all your videos, just recently found your channel and you've taught me more in a few videos than I've learnt for years trying to figure it out myself, thank you!
hello bro, is it possible for you to do an EQ for live events? I have the Quad Cortex, but for live tones, I do not think I will achieve it yet !!, Greetings
Just a simple question from a Kemper newbie.. Are the amp settings all set to flat? Is the EQ doing all the tone shaping? Love your channel and thank you for all the freebies and hard work you obviously put into this
Mick DeBergerac yeah in this profile the the EQ block was all set flat we were just changing the Graphic Eq in the x block. In terms of amp settings, the definition is around 5 I think. There is some compression and the clarity is probably at 2-3X.
@@ToneJunkieTV Thank you for that Your a god damn genius!!!! I have to say this has made a HUGE difference to my sound in a very good way, I'm really getting to appreciate the quality now. I notice that practically all the profiles I have tried, remember I'm new to the Kemper, they all sound muffled, even the Michael Britt ones. This video has helped massively though. Thanks again for your generous sharing and I look forward to experimenting more on this topic
Great vid as usual man. I’ve had a kemper three days so trying to learn a lot and grabbed your Mesa V pack, as I’m using the kemper to save my dragging my mark V everywhere, and the Mayer pack. Which one is this you’re using? Sounds killer :)
Great vid. You've taught me so much with my Kemper! In one of your prior videos, you had a stand. Maybe a computer stand? or maybe a speaker stand that your Kemper was resting on.. Could you please tell me what it was. Thanks. 🙏 God Bless. Peter
Btw is there a video about the compressor? i‘m a technical guy i know my attack, ratio treshold and gain reduction in ms and dB... the proper way of compressing in my opinion. The kemper 1-10 dialing is killing me. So for exmaple what is a fast attack and whats slow? Whats the ratio and what is the release in ms
Thanks for dropping that wisdom! So many Guitar players don't understand these points and end up yelling at the sound guy because THEY don't understand that they fit in the big puzzle as a piece
Are tones readily available for Kemper Rack ( studio use only) I know u cant model a sound...is this an issue? or does the IRs and Downloadable tones justify the sale from Kemper to Helix / Bias/
HW, great vid! Could you make one about how to configure the sound of 2 kempers that are used in a band at the same time, to make the overall sound of the band as big as can be? How do you set it up? One guitar sound with low/high freq boost (mid cut) and one with more mids when they're both playing rhythm stuff? And as a lead guitarist, do I boost the (higher) mids when playing a solo? Maybe record both, put them L/R so we can hear what happens when adjusting the EQ...
Hey Quick tip, just loop a riff so when you are making the changes we can hear them in real time. Even that 2 seconds it takes you to stop playing adjust, say something and play again makes you forget exactly what you were just listening too. Just a thought. Great video's.
Mate, have to say I’m an old veteran aust army on DVA pension. Just me and my service dog, as lost 14 yrs married 2 great kids nice house stuff cars etc. now busted up body and more. So just me and my few guitars and few tube amps. Finding all this new digital gets me confused. Even loading the buggers. Have AmpliTube 5.2 and tonex software. Yet told I can add IRS and more. Yet Kemper sounds great just Aust $$ comes to die and they hit us hard on anything musical. Ie wanted to buy myself a 50th birthday present for 3 yrs ago. Received nothing. So budgeted hard to look at either CS fender relic 62 or Eric Johnson higher end model. As a 1 special guitar. As a CS fender of rack $6500 start price. Really hurts Australians to buy nice guitars. Gibson 335 looking $4500 up for current rack price. So big Cost yet want a piece gear that I know will hold value and give me those touches that feel so nice to hold a good CS fender neck and lighter weight body Strat. The EC 7500+, when just a thorpy pedal is $485 up. Victory head 3-4k no cabinet. Big sting. But thanks for this found it really informative 👍. With no trying to push a product but giving real guitar tone nerds as I’ve become more with so much time alone, not having the old jam mates or bands I once was around always someone to have a jam. To now my service dog which he clever but not good at helping with how does that sound lol. Takes abit more effort to keep motivated inspired. But love my music and just playing. Now interface UA volt 4 apple Logic Pro x and ik amplitube 5.2 and the tonex apps. Could you recommend speaker’s for Mac desktop to let me plug in and play if injuries are playing up and not wanting to pull pedalboard and amps out plug all in. But heard people play through desktop and sound great. As iMac built in speakers not same tone. Learn to record both mic amp and try just software. Cheers 🫡🇦🇺🪖
I've been waiting for someone to explain me this s***. Thanks. Will have to watch 5 more times before start experimenting. So far, I never touched any profile to "not destroy" its original quality or character.
No need for you to sound like some high pressure salesman or preacher (same thing). Calm down & grow up a little 🙄 I'm here for information. Nothing else. Don't need your silly presentation style. Try being more natural.
This is actually one of the best guitar EQ tutorials I've ever seen on youtube. Useful for any device or eq pedal.
Ben Feddersen agreed!
HW you were always good but these recent tutorials, you’ve just been killing it. I’ve always had trouble understanding how to work the EQ properly but the mystery is over. Keep it coming. God bless and stay safe!!!

You just made my decade. This is like finding the rosetta stone.Thank you thank you thank you. Did I say thank you? Thank you!
I'm a Headrush user.. I find your videos very useful as a Masterclass. I will apply these lessons to my Headrush pedal board.
You have so much knowledge and understanding of tone and I love listening to you talk about it. I’ve struggled with getting my suhr alt t pro to sound good through my kemper and I’ve always stayed away from 8 band EQ until this video. Thank you so much for explaining this.

How would you go about EQ of a fender style amp or Vox using your theories? Any thoughts would be useful.
Hey HW the last two tips on mids were game changers. Awesome.
ok the man just explained eq to the masses righteous bro preach!!
Thank you for showing us this. Looking forward to working with my profiles with this.
😮 What an amazing tutorial on EQ. The best I’ve ever seen! More please! Thank you.
This is the best EQ video I've ever seen. Top notch stuff.
I wonder if the EQ is actually affecting harmonics and overtones more than the direct pitch as a guitar in standard tuning ranges from about 82 hz for the low E to 329 hz for the high E. The highest note on a guitar is somewhere close to 1300 hz.
The overtones are where most of the action is, that's what distortion brings out.
Cutting vs Plowing is an excellent analogy!

This is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks for your replying
I will place my order this week.
Be blessed!
Love your explanation. Would there be an indepth analysis to use the Kemper on Bassguitar or even upright bass?
Hi HW...

There is only one detail ... my Kemper does'nt show vertical bars for equalization but only horizontal ones for each frequency that is modified.

All right Jonathan now you’re separating the men from the boys!
Great tips TJ, thank you !

This gets rid of that over distorted top end 10 k and presence down
😎😁
So useful!!! Would this also apply for like low tuned metal stuff too?
This video is amazing I'm loving all your videos, just recently found your channel and you've taught me more in a few videos than I've learnt for years trying to figure it out myself, thank you!
I am not using Kemper.. may I ask what does it mean in dB a led on your knobs? Thanks. 😀😀
hello bro, is it possible for you to do an EQ for live events? I have the Quad Cortex, but for live tones, I do not think I will achieve it yet !!, Greetings
Thank you for this HW. Cheers...
Is the Divide pack still available?! I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Thank you HW, another great video. Super useful

Hi H.W., I am already using the 4 post effect slots on the Kemper. Any thoughts on adding the EQ to the front Effect Stomps section? Pre vs Post?

Where can I get that LDW 5 Rig?
Thanks for dropping that wisdom! So many Guitar players don't understand these points and end up yelling at the sound guy because THEY don't understand that they fit in the big puzzle as a piece

Did the Presets ever get released for this?
Dude, what's that 2U rack white Kemper behind him?
Great video!

Jono Rezzillo There is no shortage of free and paid profiles for Kemper. 😉
where did you get this profile from?
Please tell me, Sound from this video, What kind of recording methods are used?
#Thank_you_so_much
very helpful!
Who else took the screenshot at 5.00 ? 😃👌
Good question but for me that's an easy one to answer,. All the profiles I have always sound better when someone else is playing them. 😂
True that!
yep
