Note that I fitted the Kemper into a 3u rack case to protect the front and rear panels for transit. I actually need an amp as loud or slightly louder than the LSS to keep up with my drummer so, until I have figured out what I am doing wrong with the Kemper (although it is undoubtedly a *very* useful piece of recording kit), it looks like the Kemper PowerRack will remain only as an emergency backup for live work and my 'poor ol' back' will continue to suffer the weight of the LSS as my main rig.

These were both tried using the same Celestion 8 Ohm 75W 1 x12 Black Shadow speaker. It sounded good but I was disappointed to find that the specified 600W RMS supposedly 'on full' was not as loud or as punchy as my repaired LSS running close to it's max at 35W RMS. I was using one of the stock AC30 HW profiles included in the Kemper. I tried the PowerRack for the first time at rehearsal this week. I found that by playng single notes rather than chords as instructed during the refinement process it got closer to the orginal dynamics. The touch reponse and dynamics of the profile were impressively close to the LSS preamp once it's gone through a few stages of refinement. This has nothing to do with power amp/speaker coupling yet, which I have not tried to emulate or profile (that's a job for a soundproof room next week). I have profiled my LSS Preamps and the Kemper gets very close but is less 'airy' with slightly less 'sparkle' - this is just a/b through the desk into headphones. An Ethernet or USB connection and a Web UI would probably help a lot here. The user interface took me some time to get used to - after a few days I am still not proficient - even though I have worked in IT since 1980 - it's not that easy. My LSS actualy blew up a few weeks ago so that pushed me to buy the Kemper anyway. I was interested in the concept, read the reviews and had been considering getting a Kemper to profile my Mesa LoneStar Special to use as a backup for gigs (or replace it completely because the Kemper is much lighter and should be more reliable).

In this way, players can archive their entire amplifier collection virtually without restriction and take it with them to gigs and into the studio.Д®arly days yet but this is my experience so far. The user can subsequently customise this profile by fine-tuning a range of different parameters before naming and saving it.

To determine the characteristics of the individual signal chain, the Kemper then sends various measurement signals through the amplifier that is connected, on the basis of which it then creates a so-called вЂњprofileвЂќ вЂ“ which even professional musicians have difficulty in distinguishing from the original in terms of sound and dynamics. An вЂњamp onlyвЂќ profile can of course be created, however, by connecting the amplifier to a DI box instead of a conventional speaker cabinet. This standard setup can additionally be expanded by adding pedals, which can also be profiled as part of the chain if desired. Generally, this chain first and foremost includes the amplifier that is to be emulated, the cabinet to which this is connected, and the microphone that is placed in front of it. In fundamental terms, the Kemper Profiler is primarily a highly specialised measuring device which, by means of a complicated algorithm, is capable of precisely replicating the tonal characteristics of a signal chain. Dimensions (W x H x D): 48.3 x 13.9 x 22 cm (as the rubber feet should not be removed for ventilation reasons, a min.

Power: 600 watts into 8 ohms, 300 watts into 16 ohm.

Power rack version with 600 watt class D amplifier.

In addition, a large Kemper community has now established itself in the world where sound profiles are exchanged over the Internet. A separate amp fleet is not a mandatory requirement, because the Profiling Amplifier is already equipped with a large number of classic amplifier profiles.

In addition, the sound profile can be edited with various floor effect emulations, master effects, equalizer, and so on. This combines all the personal favorite sounds in one device. Instead of using predefined emulation of different amplifier models, the Profiling Amp (Nomen est Omen) creates an exact image of the sound set on the amplifier together with the connected speaker and microphone. Amplifier 19' VersionSince the introduction of modeling technology into the guitar amplifier world, guitarists have been able to access a variety of sounds and effects with relatively little effort.Д«ut what if you want to take your own favorite sounds instead of the manufacturer's sound specifications? Prior to the release of the Kemper Profiling Amp, there were not many alternatives: either, as before the digital revolution, they dragged their entire equipment from place to place, or tried to adapt the modeled sounds of the modeling amp as far as possible to their own desires.
