First Time Using the Kemper Profiler Stage

[@guilhordas]

my big question is, does kenper stage sound good on any PA? because in studio it's not so hard to sound good

[@mikemullenix1377]

I just got one of these to use for worship. Man I really wish you could give me a full walk through of how how to set this up properly. I want to be able to go through and create a performance file each song we do at church. Unsure how to assign anything

[@thiagoborsari7364]

2021 and all the folks complaining about the screen know now that actually the kemper stage has the best screen between all units in the market. With the wifi module and the app for tablets you have a touch screen right in your hands. You can even choose the resolution of your screen, the size, the OS.

[@fandiwoworchannel7902]

that Gold Strat really gorgeous

[@bobboitt3126]

Cleans have that digital quack, reminds me of the old Acoustic Piezo pickup tone. Distortions sound great.

[@RobertButler1]

Can you describe what a "digital quack" sounds like?

[@ninnyafluffy]

One of the questions I have is, can I just hook this up to a cab and play or would I need something else in order for it to work?

[@ToneJunkieTV]

The stage is not powered so you would need a power amp also. There is a powered version of the Kemper but it is only available as a Toaster or a Rack.

[@ninnyafluffy]

ToneJunkie TV thank you very much!

[@paulmurray1298]

Plug it onto fx return on a amp

[@robertsimpson5801]

If the Sooze is playing, I'm watching. 👍👍

[@thesoozeTJ]

Robert Simpson - you da man!

[@Kaisiilerite]

Do we need to connect directly to the main mixer ...or through tube amp with microphone 🎤.. pls suggest ..

[@Sneakyybstrd]

What cab are you playing the sound out of?

[@jimmcdougall9973]

As always, I luv your enthusiasm HW

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Very helpful information!! Thank you

[@azstratus1]

I never played a Kemper but very curious... (own AxeFX 2 and both Helix's...). Maybe this floor option will convince me but not sure yet. Of course the main importance in getting this is and if the tones are worth the purchase? I am sure it is. I just got to try one for myself within my "control environment". Thanks for posting!

[@stratslinger3921]

Is there any way to play backing tracks through my Kemper stage for use with headphones?

[@gremanc]

Are you guys plugged into an amp? I’m interested in making the switch but I don’t want to have to lug an amp around if I make this purchase. Also can I plug into the mix direct with this?

[@mingury]

None of my stage knobs are “capacitive touch” but i need to press them. Am i missing something or is my unit defective??

[@guilhordas]

where does this sound come from? studio monitors?

[@derbanger1097]

Didn't know about the Update! Thx a lot man! 👍

[@ErikAnders]

Does the ring mod have tracking ability?

[@moments9363]

what’s the use of morph button now you already have the 5 buttons from the remote on the same unit?

[@marc_leblanc]

I've been wanting a Kemper for quite awhile now trying to save up. I like the idea of a floor unit but probably still wanting to use actual pedals, I might still go for the toaster.

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Marc LeBlanc wait, Kemper II is coming as NXP56720 DSP used inside of Kemper is shutting down production very soon (1-2 years)

[@777strat]

Is the DSP in the KPS as good as the KPA?

[@DrRussPhd]

@@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin how did you hear that?

[@zwip778]

Stainless Steel I bet they have a decent amount stockpiled so it could still be out in 3 years. That’s a long time. I don’t think they would release Kemper 2 in the next 2 years since it would kill this new floor unit

[@creative0ne]

@@777strat it's the same :)

[@javsmith86]

Just put in my order with British Audio and looking forward to using it with my Toaster for 2 amp stereo. Looking forward to using your profiles for the first time.... Do they ship the Loaded Stage with profiles on a thumb drive or something?

[@ToneJunkieTV]

j smith Hey dude When did you order? Just now? BA send me the orders once a day, they’ll ship the unit when they get them and I will send you everythjngpack now so you can enjoy the profiles the meantime.

[@chadbaker2224]

I'm confused on the difference between this version of the Kemper and the toaster version. Do you get the same profiles? Also if your playing live with the toaster version, how do you switch tones?

[@bryanlettow4389]

This or a powerhead? I'm leaning towards the head. I don't have anything this caliber of quality. My best amp is a bugera 1990.

[@robertwellington2616]

Bryan Lettow power rack.

[@DRRIFF666]

The main tweak live for me is to adjust rig volume and in the dark the lights around the rotary show me on stage how much change I am applying then a quick store, sorted. No rig volume lit rotary...hmm.

[@dannyblau3850]

next thing needs to be a box the size and competing price of the hx stomp. remove being able to profile with it so it's just a profile loader meant to be put on a pedalboard.

[@jesus4pincho]

That would be AMAZING, just a profile loader

[@markinthemix6055]

One of the MOST appealing draws to the Kemper is the simplicity. There’s not confusing set of products to choose from. This covers all bases from Kemper. The sky is the limit now. Seek better and better tones and just buy one and go.

[@electropainted]

There’s profit to be made with that simplified concept. Dominate the market kempsters!

[@Timm4y]

I am eyeing buying a Kemper, but never really used one before (I do have a Helix). I still have to debate whether I'd use it as an amp with my existing pedalboard or not. But the question is: is the normal Toaster a bit easier to learn on? Or are the differences that small? Thanks!

[@GoofieNewfie]

good question..anyone?

[@vintagetelefly]

Why didn´t you remove the foil from the Display?

[@charlesrussell7500]

Can you lock out the soft buttons above the stompbox switches to avoid accidentally hitting those with your feet while performing live?

[@ToneJunkieTV]

Charles Russell No but they are pretty low profile. It would be pretty challenging to push them without putting your weight in the unit.

[@joaquinrodriguez-official]

I’m having trouble figuring out how to profile an amp on the kemper stage especially since it’s not the same as the original kemper. How do you even access the profiler menu on the stage?

[@ToneJunkieTV]

Joaquin Rodriguez-Official Press browser and performance buttons simultaneously.

[@lievenjacobs1449]

Could you use the 'stage' also as a remote? I want to sell my remote but keep my toaster(powered) and control it with the stage.

[@Holtermarvin]

Lieven Jacobs it should be possible via midi. But It wouldnt be as handy as with the remote

[@creative0ne]

They mentioned it in another video, that it can "double" all signals to another Kemper. So basically you can use KPS + KPA (like two amps) and control both with Stage.

[@markjohnson9306]

Great video and of course it sounds world class! But, I'm praying for a Kemper unit that just uses downloaded profiles with a price point like the HX Stomp. With the tens of thousands of amazing available profiles, I'm certain there's an entire market begging for a profile download only unit. What's your take on that?

[@electropainted]

Yeah I’m with you on that in totality:-)

[@sgmarshall3]

Wow, that Tweed Twin Lo B2 sounds amazing. Is that really a factory preset, or one of the British Audio units with your profiles on it? I think that is exactly what I'm looking for

[@ToneJunkieTV]

sgmarshall3 Its a Tone Junkie Pack, so you can get it either the stone Junkie Loaded Stage or order it from Tone Junkie.

[@sgmarshall3]

ToneJunkie TV Amazing job! It reminds me of Mark Knopfler's tone on "Shangra La"

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Looks pretty good but that screen is about 20 years out of date. I doubt anyone would've minded having a slightly bigger unit to allow for a screen and system like the helix or head rush for example. Ok it's probably not meant for on the fly adjustments but it's a big turn off for me

[@GoofieNewfie]

its holding me back to.

[@somebodysomeone832]

This is my son, H.W.

[@theoriginalheartstrummer]

Perhaps someone could enlighten me why this would be better than my current tube amp and pedal setup? Right now I use a vox ac30 head and cab (2×12 with the blue speakers) in it that cost me 900 used (in Australia), with a boss ms-5 That allows me to have my favourite dual overdrive plugged into 2 of the available 3 loops and I combine these with the built in fx of the boss. The ms-5 was only about 500-600 (Australian) brand new. This setup sounds awesome, and I have it on a really small pedalboard that also has a boss tu-3 tuner which my acoustic goes through and out into the pa. This setup is so simple and sounds amazing and all up cost me under 2000 Australian. This Kemper is almost 3000 Australian and then I'd need to buy speakers at around 1000 per speaker. Why would I ditch my current setup and go this road? Just curious....... At this point my feeling is if it ain't broke don't fix it. But what is the real advantage of the huge layout to go this route?

[@logopneumatika]

Due to the availability of Presets and Rigs, pretty sure Kemper is now going to call it “The Prig Exchange”

[@vicguitar1]

I started with a Helix LT 2 years ago now with the Helix Stomp. Lots of live playing from Worship to Rock Gigs . You just can't beat it ! Vic from Vancouver Canada

[@dukey558]

Great video demos...Maybe you guys concentrate some efforts on Morphing, how to make it useful on stage battles in live. Further, any news when it comes out Editor in a better usable fashion?...thanks guys! This is from Korea South.

[@alexhickmon236]

“Hey guys, we’re ready to shoot this video. Got everything set up for our in depth 45 min video on the stage unit. Audio is set up and video is in frame and in focus.” Sooze picks up unit in first 5 mins... causing the rest of the video to be out of focus. 🤦‍♂️

[@777strat]

Is the DSP in the KPS equal to that of the KPA?

[@ToneJunkieTV]

777strat yes sir

[@777strat]

Thank you! I just received my KPS today!! This is my first experience with a Kemper device...your KPS video is very helpful...thanks again!

Thank you for the amazing videos can you please make a video on how to make a profile with the kemper stage step-by-step we really need that thank you so much God bless

[@nethbt]

I don't understand how Kemper works, is it pure software? Or a custom hardware largely dependent on the software?

[@haveguitar]

I like the design/functionality of this unit but I wont need one - anyways- a great and informative video! 👍😎

[@Scottsguitarplayground]

I think that screen is ridiculous! Another crappy 1987 Texas Instruments calculator screen?!? C’mon. I’m over six feet tall, and it’s impossible to read from that height. The remote was just as bad. I think they fucked up.

[@christiansamm1582]

Sounds great, but I reckon the Helix is easier to operate compared to this Stage floor unit.

[@madic687]

Dōpu Production helix sounds great effects wise but is nothing special in the amp modeling department.

The Headrush is far more user friendly. The plus is that the Headrush sounds great too. Could the Kemper sound better, maybe but I am not willing to invest hours to achieve it, especially when I do make adjustments live.

[@rochestermusicschool7629]

its great sound but badly set out

[@kommi1974]

You're in the minority. I think it's very well set out and easy to navigate. I've tinkered with one already. Reserve judgement until you try it if you can, because it's a stellar piece of gear, man.

[@willynordboe5853]

Are u guys paid by kemper? im sorry but calling the kemper UI good, and comparing it to keyboard designs by not using touchscreens must be a joke... almost seem like u guys are biased. the UI is horrible! Kemper should learn a little from Steve Jobs regarding UI.

Willy Nordboe - not paid by Kemper, no. The UI isn’t that bad...? To each their own.

You caught us! Kemper pays us big bucks to made medium quality videos where we talk way too much from my basement! 😂 Bro we are just Kemper users! We enjoy them and use them all the time so we feel at home on them.

@@moskitoh2651 i have to disagree, the helix seems much better structured, and every preset is named on an lcd along the stomps, also it looks easier to access different functions on the helix. im just saying that after so many years, kemper has alot of room for improvement. and yes, i have to use two fingers to zoom on a phone, but hey.. it has a touchscreen and actual colours #looksnicer. no fanboy of either, just was really hoping for a refreshed kemper unit, so was kinda dissapointed by this release.
