Just wanted to say thank you SO much for this tutorial, and i agree with all those who have said it already, its the BEST Kemper Stage how-to-profile video available! It has been a MASSIVE help, thanks again! :)
You are welcome David, I'm super happy to have been of some help!
@@LeoGibsonGtr so greatly appreciated, and I will continue to tell friends about your channel!
Thank you, sharing my videos will for sure help the channel!
@@LeoGibsonGtr anytime!
Agreed, very helpfull for new Kemper owners. Cheers!
Leo, ur video is the best explain how to profile on UA-cam. I just received my Kemper yesterday really impressed it. First I thought gonna get Helix for less headache but will get stuck with factory amp given by Line 6. By doing this way have more freedom, eventhough it take a bit of space and gear for set up but it is more real and fun like what u doing.
Hi, thank you, really appreciated! Yes I do agree, profiling is really fun and usefull !!!
Leo makes better Tutorials for the Kemper Stage better than Kemper Company itself. I'm subscribed!!!
Thank you soooo much, I'm really happy that you have appreciated the video and your sub really means a lot to me!!!!
Thank you!
I really appreciate this video- specifically the sound examples. Thanks, Leo!
You are welcome and I'm really happy that you appreciate the videos!!!!
Great tutorial it helped me a lot, great editing also!
Thank you Sergio, really appreciated!
Great job my friend!!!!You're the best!!!
Thank you Claudio!!!
Great instructional video! Fantastic playing also!
Thank you so much Tony, I'm super happy that you like the video and the playing!!!
Hey Leo! Thanks for the video. Super helpful 👌👍
You are welcome, I'm happy you find it useful!!!
YOU ARE THE MAAAAAAN!! Thank you so much for these videos and hi from New York!!!
Thank you Louis! Really really appreciated!!!
Thanks Leo for your tutorials. You explained it perfect! Did you know how i can make a DI profile with the Kemper Stage from my acoustic guitar preamp only??? Thanks for your help!!!
Hi, thank you so much!
I think it is possible....it's like profiling a preamp only section of an Head....it should be called Direct profile.
Thanks!
The best tutorial on UA-cam! Very easy to understand. I've got a question - let's say I'm profiling Tech BDDI bass preamp direct with no cab, can I listen to it through headphone output on Kemper?
Hi Rafaels! Thank you, your appreciation is really important for me!!. As regards your question, for sure you can profile a preamp. As regards listening via headphones: do you mean listening the exact sound of the preamp, or the preamp coupled with a power amp and a cab?
@@LeoGibsonGtr listening to the preamp itself. like Bass>Kemper input>Kemper send to Tech 21 BDDI>D.I. XLR out of Tech 21 BDDI to Kemper return. and listening to all this with headphones via Kemper headphone output.
@@rafsnchz Hi Rafaels, it should work, but I'm not sure as I've never used the headphone out. I'm currently far from my studio...I let you know. Thank you for your question.
Hi Rafaels, I've tried: yes it works...you can profile a preamp listening to the headphone! Thank you for your question!!!
so, can kemper profile an amp through captor X ? thank you
Great details
Hi, thank you!
Yes, I think it is possible.
love your song
Hi, thank you very much! it really means a lot to me!
very nice ! But what's the goal of the preamp ? Because In the kemper's manual they don't say that you must need one. And how do setup the gain of the preamp ? During a first profiling try ?What's is the required level that you recommend ? Thanks !
Great video, as every video, that you make, TNX! Is it posible to use Fucusrite clerette as preamp for shure 57?
Thank you so much, I'm happy that you like the video!!! Yes, it can.
@@LeoGibsonGtr Great, I made it!
Great video!
Hi Leo, are those profiles something you could share? The plexi one sounds really good, I would love to use it for my practice.
Hi Dominik, actually I’ve never tried to share them...I have to figure out how to do it....
Leo Gibson hi,I’m interested in the profiles as well!You can share them on google drive, on wetransfer or in the kemper rig exchange.
Let me know,
Thanks,
Great Video!!
Kudos!
Ciao Leo! complimenti per il video! utilizzo una Scarlett 2i2 ed un audio-tecnica at2035, la Focusrite fa anche da preamp avendo la phantom. solo che non so da dove uscire poi per entrare nel Kemper! le line out dietro dove normalmente si collegano le casse possono andare bene in questo caso?
Ciao, scusa per la tarda risposta. Non sono sicuro, tipicamente il preamp del microfono esce con un "pre amp out" mentre la scheda audio esce con un "line out", che dovrebbero essere diversi. Non dovresti danneggiare le apparecchiature, ma non credo che in termini di suono siano equivalenti. Prova a cercare su google la differenza tra "pre amp out" e "line out" e poi puoi provare a chiedere a Kemper se i risultati si equivalgono.
Un caro saluto e sono contento che ti piaccia il canale!
@@LeoGibsonGtr grazie per la velocissima risposta!! Ti farò sapere! A presto 🔥
Grazie a te!
thanks!
Instead of a microphone preamp, what about a small powered 6 channel mixing board?? What inputs and outputs would you use?
You can do it. Now I use the mixer in my Apollo interface to make profiles, so that I can even mix more than one mic. The I/O depend from the mixer you are gonna use, I think. I'm not able to suggest the I/O not knowing the mixer...I'm sorry
Can I use my DAW as preamp, just to get the phases right, then output it to the Kemper Stage?
Like this...
Guitar -> Kemper input -> Amp/Speaker -> Mics -> Interface/DAW - Kemper return
Hi, yes, I think it is possible
The Marshall profile is quite different, but I think you use different pickup combination on the Suhr no?
Real Marshall sounds like you used position 2/4 (out of phase)?
Thanks :)
Hi, actually if I remember it well, I'm using the same PU: the neck PU. I think, but it's just an opinion, that the Kemper seems to be just e little bit more saturated. But maybe I was just playing a little bit differently the two phrases: I was also using my fingers, so I may have touched a little bit differently the strings and this could have influenced the sound. Sorry if I'm not able to more precise...Thank you for your message!!!
I hear some popping / crackling in the final Kemper profile. The Fender amp itself does not have that..... Wondering if that is the Kemper or just a recording problem?
Complimenti al video, io ho un problema ho una clarett 8 pre e la stavo usando per profilare ma alla fine quando metto un l’uscita a caso della scheda audio non mi esce alcun suono
Come andrebbe configurata l’uscita di una scheda audio per profilare ?
Non possiedo un preamp esterno volevo usare la scheda audio come pre
Ciao! Scusa ma per caso te sapresti come e si può profilare una testata utilizzando cose come l’universal audio ox o o altro? E in che modo farlo! Grazie
Ciao, premesso che non ho mai provato, ma collegherei l'uscita Line out dell'OX all'ingresso del Kemper (dove avresti collegato l'out del pre microfonico). Spero utile.
Grazie del messaggio.
Very good! Which the preampli you use? Thanks
Hi Carmine, if you mean the preamp for the microphone, I'm using a Universal Audio LA 2-610. Thank you for your message
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you!
How to reamp with the Kemper stage?
Ciao Leo, complimenti per la demo, se io dovessi usare solo il mic dritto nel Kemper bypassando il pre ho bisogno ugualmente dell'adattatore jack stereo o posso usare anche un normale cavo microfonico xlr-jack mono?
Ciao Guido, due considerazioni:
1) se usi il microfono tipicamente hai bisogno di un pre, da un lato per alimentarlo e dall'altro perchè altrimenti il segnale è troppo debole.
2) i cavi XLR, grazie ad un cavo aggiuntivo al loro interno, riducono il rumore, ed il jack stereo gestisce questo cavo aggiuntivo. Se usi un jack mono, non sfrutti questa caratteristica dei cavi XLR
Hi Guido, two considerations:
1) if you use the microphone typically you need a pre, on one side to power it and on the other because otherwise the signal is too weak.
2) XLR cables, thanks to an additional cable inside them, reduce noise, and the stereo jack manages this additional cable. If you use a mono jack, you don't take advantage of this feature of XLR cables
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr I got it! thanks again Leo and congratulations again for the quality of the demo
@@guidocapiotto1937 You are welcome and thank you for enjoying the channel, it is really important for me!
Can I use a powered Mackie mixer as the preamp??????
Hi, yes, I think you can
Thank you for your question!
In your video you suggest before profiling that you need to dial up a profile that’s similar to the one you’re about to profile. Does it matter if that profile is in Performance mode or Browse mode??
Hi David, I'm not sure...I think that it does not matter...but I'm not 100% sure
Thank you for your question!
@@LeoGibsonGtr yeah that’s what I was thinking 🤣
Put your showboating at the end of the TUTORIAL please.
Thank you for your suggestion
do i need a preamp to do this?
Hi, as far as I know, if you want to use a real mic, you need a preamp to drive it. Then, the out of the preamp goes into the Kemper.
Thank you!
Can my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 be used for mic preamp?
Hi Greg, yes, it has mic preamps
@@LeoGibsonGtr awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. Love your channel btw.
You are welcome Greg! I'm super happy that you like the channel!
Excellent, thanks. So now... are you going to sell the SV20? (I love it with a Seymour Duncan Pickup booster by the way)
Hi Emmanuel...actually no, I'm not going to sell it... with the Kemper I have captured a specific sound, with a specific setting...the SV20 has more to offer and to profile.... :). But for gigging/ live situation, where you need 2/3 specific great sounds, I think I will use the Kemper...I also love to play the SV20 with a booster...I actually use the Xotic RC booster...also the SD PU Booster is a great option... thank you for your message!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Does the RC booster have that "P90 with a wah" vibe like the position 2 on the SD PUB ? I also tried the BB preamp but it has this "lack of immediateness" feeling that bugs me.
No, actually the RC does not have it...well actually I'm also not using the BB since a long time...every now and then I use the Xotic Soul Driven, just to add that little bit of extra distortion in the case of need...it has quite a warm kind of distortion that, in some situations, I love...
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks. I think I will stay with Strat + SV + PUB for quite a while. Simple and effective. Thanks again for your work and for sharing all that knowledge !
It's a great set! You are more than welcome!
can you do me a personal favor and take the plastic off your bass tuners and sicker off your les paul pickguard?
Thank you for your suggestion...but no...I will not do it....I like it as it is.
