HW, you have opened up an entire new world to me and I am forever grateful! I am new to Kemper after decades of being a "purist" and now with these tutorials I am 100% committed to Kemper for recording and live use. Yet, I have only scratched the surface and have so very much to learn nd i am looking forward to every minute of it! Thank you and God Bless ya pal! 🙏
I have been using Helix for 6 years. Just ordered a Kemper stage and it should arrive in a few days. Your 101 and 201 videos have been immensely helpful to help me see how the Kemper can do the things I have been doing using snapshots on the Helix, and even ( I think!) more - like easily swapping out the amp but keep the effects, or to save an entire group of effects with their settings to use over and over again... I never knew this was possible before. I'm even more excited about my decision to try the Kemper (which I should have done 7 years ago... live and learn). Thanks!
Likewise, I used Helix for six years, fantastic piece of gear. Now seemed like a good time to try the Kemper though. Don't think I'd have gone anywhere near one pre Rig Manager. The prospect of Liquid Profiles is what convinced me to migrate from helix.
HW, this was very helpful! Can you do a similar version of this but use the Stage, instead? I feel like there’s a shortage of tutorials for the Stage, and the ones that are out there are hit-or-miss. I know Kemper has tutorials but they’re a bit dull and long, and I have ADD ;) lol
Super, super helpful. Just bought a Stage and trying to get my head around it all as it is pretty baffling at first. But this and the 101 video really helped!
@@timjoseph887 yes, definitely! Still feel like I’m only scratching the surface. I don’t experiment an awful lot with the amps but use a few basic clean ones as a starting point. The quality of the effects, particularly reverbs and delays are the hidden gems. I had an HX FX prior and a controversial opinion but I think Kemper effects leave Helix in the dust. The Kemper is gradually replacing my 4x Eventide stomp boxes and they’re pretty untouchable still. The gamechanger is plugging the Kemper into a computer for the Rig software - so much easier!
I was thinking of setting up my performances (for live application) based on amps but some songs could definitely call for multiple amps? I am trying to go from being used to tube amps and a pedalboard live to the best way to use the kemper. Seems like the difference with Kemper is I can use any effect and any amp in one performance so maybe limiting it to one amp per performance may not be the best approach. For example, I use a 1962 Fender Bandmaster profile for a ton of my clean tones but may want to have an overdrive option and the Bandmaster might not be a good amp to add some overdrive to. Maybe in this performance I include a Fender Deluxe with a couple of options. I am trying to keep it simple yet versatile and wanting to use about 5 to 6 different amp profiles. Great video it really helped me out.
Nice HW I know my Kemper pretty well but I always learn something watching you. I always play in performance mode but I set up banks per guitar not per song unless I need a specific delay or effect. I like to use morphing mostly for gain to push a crunchy sound into a high gain sound. I use my Kemper powerhead different than most people I use a 112 Orange cab with a 90 watt Celestion Creme it sounds awesome call me old fashioned but I just can't get away from that amp in the room sound.
I just bought a Kemper Stage. I would love for this video to be remade for that particular model, since it has a different selection of buttons. (No copy/paste for example)
First thanks so much for the video - it really was very helpful! Tip, if I could be so bold... wear white socks! The black ones blend in and didn't always catch my attention when you hit a button on the foot switch. I just received my power rack and foot switch in an attempt to lighten my performance load. (I am getting kind of old - 66) I think this rig really has potential. I hope I can fully understand it before I meet Jesus. Seriously though, I appreciate the effort you put into making this video, great job!
I just purchased the power rack model. I'm already blown away by it. Your tutorials have been very helpful Have you done a tutorial on profiling an amp? getting ready to profile my ENGL Victor Smolski head. I'm using my Egnator over-sized 112/Celestion Vintage 30 cab. going to try 3 mics/Sennheiser/MXL/and good old SM57. MXL is a large diaphragm model, Sennheiser 421, and the Shure beta 57 is for the back of the cab. (it has the option of removing partial back cover.) I've recorded here in the studio this way, and have had good results in the tone dept. here's where I am a true newbie. I am assuming I'll need to profile them one at a time? Thanks again for the videos!
What if I create a performance and I want to delete one or more of the slots?? How do I delete a slot to replace it with a new tone? I can see how to MOVE them.But not sure how to delete and replace.HELP!!
Great content, HW! You mentioned that there’s a way to take your sounds (rigs) from performance mode and edit them in browser mode, so they can live in browser mode. Is there a way you could explain how to do this? I would truly appreciate it 👍🏼
When I import a number of different amps into a single performance rig, so that I have say a Vox AC 30 clean tone in slot 1 and a Mesa Mark V in slot 2, they both seem to share the same gain and EQ settings. So if I clean up the Vox and take the gain down to 9 o'clock, then switch over to the Mesa, its gain is also down to 9 o'clock. Can someone sanity check that this is correct? If so, presumably, you'd need to use something like a stomp box to make slot 2 heavier? Thanks. 🎸
So when you say you're allowed 5 rigs, that means only 5 separate starting points? What if you have a ton of songs in a set with vastly different tones? Is it possible to have different rigs, for say, 15 songs where you could customize each section (verse, hook, solo, etc) not unlike how a bradshaw midi setup would be?
You can have 5 rigs per bank. You also have 127 banks, I think. It's like a 5 Button per Bank PC-Midi swichter + a row of CC switches to turn on and off the individual effects, or whatever. In the end, you have more than enough sounds avaiable on your feet ;)
This is great, but you’re going wayyy too fast in a lot of parts. I still don’t understand how to save a rig to each switch, and you’re over here grouping the effects chain...slow down
this is a 201 video, not 101 like some others. There are points in which he assumes you already understand basic functions of the Kemper. Not trying to insult you, but starting with the 101 vids might be helpful.
Why do you need this swamp of sounds and amps?, Isn't it better to find "your own sound" and create music using one amp some pedals, technique creativity?.

I love the enthusiasm here. Great video. I'm brand new to the Kemper world, and it's blowing my mind. It's capable of far more than I imagined.
Just got myself a kemper rack and any time I have questions, I just watch your videos. Awesome work

I’m doing the very same! These videos have been super helpful
So now that you’ve had about 5 months with the Kemper, how do you like it?
@@justsomemincedgarlic best gear decision I ever made, should have done it 8 years ago. Running stereo with 2 Kemper Kabs now :-)

I've owned my Kemper rig for almost give years and still learned so much from this tutorial. Kudos!
You answered my main question in the first three minutes!
HW, this was very helpful!

This is a great idea!
Stage, Stage, Stage!
‘Blame it on my ADD , Baby... sorry
Yes! FINALLY! Saving this to watch later. Thanks HW!
Super, super helpful. Just bought a Stage and trying to get my head around it all as it is pretty baffling at first. But this and the 101 video really helped!
How is it? Do you want you still love it?

@@davidlee2790 I hear that the digital amps are digital sounding . Especially cleans. Do you find the Kemper solves this?
@@timjoseph887 the clean amps sound fine to me. The gain control is very progressive and realistic

Love your videos. mate. Always something to learn, and your patter is tremendous. If you're ever in Glasgow Scotland id love too buy you a beer.

I think Kemper sounds best through a real cab. I love it through my stack.

Best vid on the tinternet for Kemper. You're great. Hope you get more sponsorships.
Thanks so much, HW!

Very helpful. But I watched some parts a couple times to get the concept. What an amazing tool
Helpful and informational as always! Good job!
So helpful and entertaining at the same time HW 🙂🙏
HW.....you always do a great job!! Thank you so much for all the tricks and tips you learn us by these video tutorials.....!!!
Perfect. I was just getting ready to crack the manual on Performance Mode. Now I don't need to. Makes me want to get a remote.
I just bought the stage and this is right on time!
Super useful video. Thank you! But, I’d also like to add that the placement of your stickers makes me uncomfortable.
HW on the Kemper: 'The sky is the limit here!'
Audience on hearing me play: 'This guy is the limit here!'
Does shaking your guitar actually elongate the note or add extra reverb/shimmer?😁
What if I create a performance and I want to delete one or more of the slots?? How do I delete a slot to replace it with a new tone? I can see how to MOVE them.But not sure how to delete and replace.HELP!!
Good Video. Can you set a rig to use the external volume pedal to be Wah for only that rig?
2:38 Sounds like Burn It Down by Alterbridge
Hey HW, great tutorial! What about tails? Do they carry over when switching presets? Or is the switching abrupt...
Great content, HW!
You mentioned that there’s a way to take your sounds (rigs) from performance mode and edit them in browser mode, so they can live in browser mode. Is there a way you could explain how to do this?
I would truly appreciate it 👍🏼
He says copy and paste. Did you try that?
Awesome content! How much of this can you do with the new editor in rig manager?
Where can I download some great metal performances?

For me, it will only save fx on rig 1 in the performance. The other rigs won't save the fx for some reason.
what is the differance between profile and a profile morph/?
when you copy and paste a rig can you set the duplicate to be louder
Uuuhh keeper master
I name my rig one thing and then it carries the same name across to the other rig. Please can you help
Tonejunkie 🔥👍🤘
How can I make effects presets on the kemper stage?

In the end, you have more than enough sounds avaiable on your feet ;)
You can save 15 different Performances (up to 128) for each of your 15 songs, with up to 5 different Rigs per performance.
Greetings from Germany
one question please is there anything similar to the Screenshot Mode from the helix Thanks for help.
Sorry for my bad english
Performance mode (1-5) is something similar to Snapshots on Helix. 4 switches in upper row on Kemper equals to Helix stomp control mode.
HW at 13:38 how do you get that screen display layout to look that way?
Rik D hold down the effects button
@@ToneJunkieTV yeah i know that but layout on your screen looks different. Is there a way to alter the layout? How that screen appears?
DID YOU UP THE GAIN OMG
🙌🙏
way too fast for me on how you are saving changes to the performance mode
This is great, but you’re going wayyy too fast in a lot of parts. I still don’t understand how to save a rig to each switch, and you’re over here grouping the effects chain...slow down
