Hi! Just to be sure: Some profiles changed names since they came out, so the name on my Kemper can be a little different. I listed them in the description along with the new name and where to find them. Cheers!
kommi1974 Autonomous sensory meridian response(ASMR) is an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia. ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.
I just purchased a Kemper this week, still getting to grips with it, but it’s so good!! I’m running the powered unit through an Orange closed back 1x12 cab. Sounds amazing, a lot better than the FRFR setup I tried previously. Like playing a real amp, and also downloaded M.Britt D pack profiles with all the dumble stuff. It’s an amazing amp pack, especially the dumble voices for John Mayers amp clean!
Dude! Fantastic tones, and some seriously great riffing! I've owned a two rock, top hat, spatial, vintage fender, vox, matchless, bogner.... the list goes on. Been wrestling with whether or not to go this route because of the price point.
Great video! And imagine I had the first two profiles already on my Kemper (Fender was built-in when I bought it and Matchless comes in the free Michael Britt pack). I just didn’t know they were so good! ;)
Always been a Matchless guy, so hearing these makes me so happy! LOVE my Matchless Clubman... And I also had a HW AC-30...it was SO loud, it made me physically sick. those little chicken head knobs couldn't be turned low enough to get it to sound right, lol.
I recommend you: tone junkie match chief (matchless), tone Junkie lowman 69 (bassman), Bert mertjenulik (I problably spelled wrong) Friedman be-100, and for heavy things STL tones Lee Malia. These are my top profiles, much more tight and articulate than the previous ones that I tested before (that includes the ones you listed). Regards, master.
Luiz Roberto Carvalho Bert meulendijk. It’s a hard one but I think I got it. His are great too because he makes them ready to be used for studio use. So they sound good at home. Not a lot of tweaking needed. He’s the Dutch Michael Britt. He has some freebies to test.
Great tones and awesome playing as always, but the best thing about this video is seeing your unfiltered enjoyment for guitar playing and tone. Awesome stuff!
Very cool video ! Thanks for sharing. If I could give you just one little note/advice, I would have turned of the sound of your room/speaking mic to focus more on the real sound of the kemper without the pick sound and ambience. But apart of that, you got yourself a new follower !
This helps me a lot! No A/B comparison, but just juicy tones. And of course there’s nothing that compares to an amp in a room but recording and a lot of live things I do are just an amp mic’d up and blasting through my in-ear monitors. Maybe I should invest in making the switch to kemper🙈
Hot damn Paul! That was saucy AF! I personally prefer playing very heavy metal, but I just love everything guitar! So watching anyone play what they love, I groove with. You are amazing! Very very nice!
I think that for many of us that just like to play at home, the "experience in the room" criteria that you mentioned at the beginning of the video factors in quite a lot as to why we buy tube amps and build pedalboards. Sure, the Kemper accomplishes great tone through recording. But when I'm in my room, with my tube amp cranked and my pedalboard on the floor, for a brief couple of hours during my week, I'm a fucking rockstar!
loving the vid! You should use your catch phrase more often btw, also if there is a profile of a 1970's fender blues junior you should try it! best tube sound i've ever heard
i once got the pleasure to play a vox ac30 in a big room with a drummer so loudness was no problem.. i didn't know my guitar could sound that amazing ^^ but yea, not that well suited for a small apartment.. great video
problem i have, i got a ac30, and i can achieve a very similar tone to that with my tele, and can get really nice dark lead tone out of it with my es335. But i can only use it in a practice space, since the powerup needs to be cranked for that. Right now i use a fender blues jr at home, which can get the good tone of a poweramp breaking up without out my neighbors thinking im really obnoxious. I am really curious about emulated amps weather it be a head like this one, or just running it in pro tools.
Hi Paul. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. It's time to update the list. With the release of Kemper Stage, a lot of people have entered the Kemper world now. What do you think about making a new list of the top 5 or 10 profiles for Kemper?
Bought a Kemper earlier this year, replacing a Helix that I never fell in love with. Can't stop playing my Kemper. Now I'm looking at my half-dozen tube amps, wondering how many I should keep (probably just one)
Wow, I like your taste in tones. Have you ever done a video like this on one of the Boss Katana amps? I think that there are a lot of us out here who play them and could benefit from your touch, taste, and expertise.
Paul is an amazing guitarist , a great teacher and above of all always a great RUclipsr ... the idea of spending that kind of money on Kemper or Fractal and similar devices these days is hardly justified when you can get as good as sounds and effects and amp models from likes of NUX , Valeton and Mooer multi effects series for as little as $200-$300
Hey Paul i just took delivery of my new Kemper today, i can't stop playing it. What an incredible product.Do you use your acoustic guitars through it ever.
I do gigs where my acoustic is plugged in the aux input at the back and electric at the front so I can switch guitars in seconds, use effects and eq... only problem the tuner doesn't work for acoustic
Hey mate, if ur not comfortable with the volume run it with a power attenuator to achieve the chewy gain compression,you’ll need to dial in a bit more treble to get your chime back to normal. Should work nicely 👌👌👌
You're right! That last profile makes me want to buy the Kemper right now! My signal goes straight from my pedals to a direct box and then the sound board. No amp. I'm not happy. Will the Kemper will simulate an amp!
That number 1 tone is identical to a Hendrix song on The Experience's Radio One session recording. The song was Stone Free and I'd bet he used a Vox amp on that recording..... Yeh I know he mainly used Marshall amps, but not exclusively. At the end of the day I reckon he was recorded using almost every make of amp, but that Kemper number 1 sound is the Stone Free sound 👍
Nice playing and great review but no-one ever talks about the buzz. Theres a lot of 60 cycle hum on some of those tones. Doent matter how good your tone is when thats layering in the background. One of the reasons why I'm getting rid of the helix floor. I hated it right out of the box. Clean sounds are nice but the distortions are terrible for noise unless im using emg pickups but even so the gate chokes the life out of my solo sounds. I heard of a few people going back to kemper for its responsiveness. I hope when mine comes in I dont have the same problems. As a recording engineer Im picky right out of the gate. Thanks for the video!
Love the tones and your playing is great! I'm tired of lugging around a heavy amp, pedalboard, mic stand, etc. I'm considering selling them all and just going Kemper and Remote. I did that before with the Line 6 HD500X and regretted it - the tone just wasn't there live, even if it sounded fantastic in my house. Do you use it live, and does it sound great with a band in a performance situation? Thanks!
Wohle be nice if you could switch of your room mic when playing, that really puts me of. Other than that, you are doing great, actually you’re one of the best guitar you tubers out ther. Keep on rockin.
Paul’s a very English name, do you have British heritage? Maybe a Q&A video? I get very excited when you upload, I like how you’re videos aren’t restricted to a particular theme except guitar of course bar that one computer video.. 🤙
How's Paul a very english name? Both Paul and James are names that have been around for 2000 years or more popularized by the spread of christianity. They're pretty common names in pretty much all of the western world.
Hey Paul, to your ear, are these profiles equally at home in a studio or live? Do you have any different preferences for live performance? Thanks! Just moving these up - copied from Dominik S. below: 5. TAF - Fan D'Lux BF 1969 1:35 + delay and modulation 1:52 4. Matchless JJ 3- 2:42 + delay and chorus 3:28 3. 3P Plexi & Tim on 6 2- 4:22 + pure booster 5:47 2. Marshall Rock- ('72 Mars) 6:35 1. Matchless SC30 R 2- (Matchbox 30) 8:06 + volume down 8:53
Went to A concert with Mark Knopfler yesterday(Boxen , Herning in denmark). Every tone he played sounded fucking fantastic and apparently these Kemper amps is what he used on the tour, Realy i did not matter if he played clean or a more crunch tone like in money for nothing. A much better sound overall than last time i saw him on the privetering tour a few years back where he used VOX ac30 Only down side , to expensive for my budget xD
3:28 (stop) then play arrows RIGHT, left, right left, right, left, right, left ...etc... RIGHT, RIGHT, left, right, left ...etc... (then backwards) Enjoy XD
Hey Paul! Great vid. I know these Kempers are pretty well revered in guitarist circles but I never really looked into them because of their price...! But I played one at the Kemper booth at NAMM a few years back and have been thinking about getting one ever since.... Any chance you could do an entire video walking us through the unit? The ins/outs/how to create a tone/effects/control via floor board etc....?? That would be a great video with your guitar skills to really show it off..... Thanks :-)
I don't have a Kemper, but in general I think we've come to a point where digital modelling is able to recreate the feel and dynamics of tube amplifiers.
Rudy Ayoub Thanks for the insight Rudy. With tube amps, as you know, they generally have that "feel" that responds to picking dynamics and the amps themselves are the original producers of the tone that the Kemper seeks to emulate. My concern is that it is nothing more than an upmarket modelling amp. I've owned one modelling amp (out of curiosity for the breed). It had some decent sounds but it lacked any real feel at all, was uninspiring to play and was ungiggable for many reasons. At the present time, I am concerned about spending a bucket load of dollars/pounds/euros/yuan/beaver pelts (whatever your local currency is) on what is an advanced modelling amp without having the opportunity to try the Kemper out first and also determining if it is easy and intuitive to use. Certainly, I'm loath to switch to an amp that doesn't have the wondrous little glowing bottles of loveliness that we expect in our backlines. I'll stay old school for now!
Gary Gamble I've got a VOX ToneLab SE. It really feels nice and natural to me. They use a tube, but I guess the fact that they simulated the dynamics between the amp and the speakers is more important.
Yes it does. I had many modelling amps and it was always like playing a guitar synth. All software plugins have this feel (or lack of thereof) too. Kemper feels like amp. What is weird that you can get cranked up tones/feel at really low volumes - it takes a couple of days to get used to - or plug it into guitar cab and crank it up, there is virtually no difference between Kemper and profiled amp in most cases :)
Fantastic sound especially direct. Much better than futzing around with mic placement. Totally inappropriate purchase for me even if I could afford it. I have a THR10 which is pretty good but not in the Kemper league.
Hi! Just to be sure: Some profiles changed names since they came out, so the name on my Kemper can be a little different. I listed them in the description along with the new name and where to find them.
Cheers!
Man you have seriously come a long ways in your video shooting and editing. Very well done, Paul. From a professional video producer :)
Hi Paul can you tell us what you use live after the Kemper for your stage monitoring? Cheers
Paul Davids new reverbs are coming from Kemper dude. Check out the tone junkie RUclips channel. Exciting.
Paul uses in ear monitors. :)
Paul David
I just got my kemper yesterday and today my favourite youtuber ever posts a video about it. Life is good at the moment.
Christian Lopez jealous af. Have fun mate!
Not enough warning, the juicy tones got me.
Hey Paul! You mention playing in live situations. Would you post videos of you playing live? Would love to see that!
Dude I love your color grading
Dude I love your acting
Paul Davids back again with another asmr video
Chaotic Neutral Forgive my ignorance, but what is asmr?
kommi1974 Autonomous sensory meridian response(ASMR) is an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. It has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia. ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.
kommi1974 I’m glad you asked now
The second profile was awesome, love that sound. So now another piece of kit I want, thanks buddy, thanks.
Very cool!!!! Thanks! Juicy is the perfect word for #1. That was really sweet.
Master guitar player and amazing videographer. Inspiring!
those first shots had to have been wide open aperture. at least 1.8. #bokehislife
I just purchased a Kemper this week, still getting to grips with it, but it’s so good!! I’m running the powered unit through an Orange closed back 1x12 cab.

Dominik S what does ”tim on 6.2”mean?🙈
Used a Tim pedal in front of amp. Probably amp set to gain of 6, version 2. Just a guess, but based on Britt’s explanations, it is a good guess.
Always been a Matchless guy, so hearing these makes me so happy! LOVE my Matchless Clubman...
And I also had a HW AC-30...it was SO loud, it made me physically sick. those little chicken head knobs couldn't be turned low enough to get it to sound right, lol.

My go to right now is a BE-100 from Reampzone. It's so versatile and awesome sounding.

Fabulous tones, fabulous amp, Paul. Always a treat to hear you play.

Amazing matchless 30 🤯🔥
Hot damn Paul! That was saucy AF! I personally prefer playing very heavy metal, but I just love everything guitar! So watching anyone play what they love, I groove with. You are amazing! Very very nice!
Man that last preset killed it!
Perfect blues and rock tone
I think that for many of us that just like to play at home, the "experience in the room" criteria that you mentioned at the beginning of the video factors in quite a lot as to why we buy tube amps and build pedalboards. Sure, the Kemper accomplishes great tone through recording. But when I'm in my room, with my tube amp cranked and my pedalboard on the floor, for a brief couple of hours during my week, I'm a fucking rockstar!
Very nice! I just pulled the trigger on a Kemper. Thanks for posting.
Paul, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
THAT LAST AMP!!!!!! ITS SO AMAZING 🤌🤌
THANK YOU for this video. I was definitely curious about your fav profiles. Gonna give these a go for sure
nice tone and palying!!😂😂
I'm a your biggest fan in japan!!
Great video! Kemper is the best and you Paul is a beast at guitar! Keep up this awesome work!
Great demo ! That last tone is my dream tone. Love that wet gain.
Your playing is very clean and directly. Awesome Player!!!!
Hi Paul, these profiles sounds amazing man. And also love your playing!
Yeess! Matchless SC30 R 2- (Matchbox 30) - the sound I adore too!
Awesome playng and awesome tones! loving your work!!
What monitors do you use the Kemper with at home?
How do yuo use it live?
Thanks!
I love how 4/5 are Michael Britt. He is truly the best!
That seems like a great piece of gear! Nice playing!
Great playing. Amazing tones
loving the vid! You should use your catch phrase more often btw, also if there is a profile of a 1970's fender blues junior you should try it! best tube sound i've ever heard
Peter, With all due respect, there is no such thing as a 1970's Blues junior amp. Fender didn't introduce the Blues Junior until 1990.
Peter, With all due respect, there is no such thing as a 1970's Blues junior amp. Fender didn't introduce the Blues Junior until 1990.
Love your tones.
Great Demos! Great Amp! Thanks for the video.
10:11- 'Breathe, breathe in the air...'
Made me also think about the first chord of 'Welcome to the Machine'
Thought the same thing! Haha
i once got the pleasure to play a vox ac30 in a big room with a drummer so loudness was no problem.. i didn't know my guitar could sound that amazing ^^
but yea, not that well suited for a small apartment..
great video
problem i have, i got a ac30, and i can achieve a very similar tone to that with my tele, and can get really nice dark lead tone out of it with my es335. But i can only use it in a practice space, since the powerup needs to be cranked for that. Right now i use a fender blues jr at home, which can get the good tone of a poweramp breaking up without out my neighbors thinking im really obnoxious. I am really curious about emulated amps weather it be a head like this one, or just running it in pro tools.
The last sound is a pretty basic one but is sound like liquid butter, coupled with the Strat is makes the perfect all rounder
GREAT inspiration Paul! THANKS!!!!
Hi Paul.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
It's time to update the list.
With the release of Kemper Stage, a lot of people have entered the Kemper world now.
What do you think about making a new list of the top 5 or 10 profiles for Kemper?
Really great as always and thanks for sharing! 😃
Paul, please do a video on HOW your guitar tech setup your guitars.
Thanks for the video Paul :)
Bought a Kemper earlier this year, replacing a Helix that I never fell in love with. Can't stop playing my Kemper. Now I'm looking at my half-dozen tube amps, wondering how many I should keep (probably just one)
Keep two, the one you can get to sound more decent at the lowest volume possible and other one, a louder one, for gigs...
if the Kemper is so good why don't you profile all your amps and then sell them as surplus to requirements?
Thanks for posting this! Was always curious what you used.
Watching an old spice commercial before this and seeing your hair damp made me think I could smell your conditioner
Incredible plexi tone preset you got there, really great. Hope one day I can afford a Kemper. Thanks for this video.
thank you Soul man...Funky man....Dutch man...
You rock..
You may have sold me on Kemper with those tones as I'm looking for a direct recording solution. (Apartment life yo)
I've seen a lot of Japanese musicians using Kemper Profilers and after watching your review, I'm definitely selling my kidney for one. Thanks Paul!
Wow, I like your taste in tones. Have you ever done a video like this on one of the Boss Katana amps? I think that there are a lot of us out here who play them and could benefit from your touch, taste, and expertise.
The second amp that was played gives me a Yellow Ledbetter vibe, while the third really gave off a Look At Little Sister vibe
Paul is an amazing guitarist , a great teacher and above of all always a great RUclipsr ... the idea of spending that kind of money on Kemper or Fractal and similar devices these days is hardly justified when you can get as good as sounds and effects and amp models from likes of NUX , Valeton and Mooer multi effects series for as little as $200-$300
You obviously haven't compared the Kemper to the cheaper Modellers side by side in a live situation.
Great video!
Hey Paul i just took delivery of my new Kemper today, i can't stop playing it. What an incredible product.Do you use your acoustic guitars through it ever.
I do gigs where my acoustic is plugged in the aux input at the back and electric at the front so I can switch guitars in seconds, use effects and eq... only problem the tuner doesn't work for acoustic
Friggin sweet! As usual..
Thought that was a relic reissue. Sounds beautiful.
Great tones! You should mute the talk mic during the samples so we don't hear all the string noise. Great videos though!
Hey mate, if ur not comfortable with the volume run it with a power attenuator to achieve the chewy gain compression,you’ll need to dial in a bit more treble to get your chime back to normal. Should work nicely 👌👌👌
You're right! That last profile makes me want to buy the Kemper right now!
My signal goes straight from my pedals to a direct box and then the sound board. No amp. I'm not happy.
Will the Kemper will simulate an amp!
Love the MBRitt stuff. Check out Tone Junkie as well. Their Bend Sun Pack is awesome. And check out Selah Sounds, their Kingsley Deluxe is amazing.
When that Matchless SC30 started singing, the first thing that came to mind was Hendrix.
No need for a Les Paul when a strat can sound this good. Just dig in the strings harder and and you're set! Beautiful guitar, Paul!
The first tone is so glassy and smooth.. Love it. My favorites were that one and the marshall lead tone
That number 1 tone is identical to a Hendrix song on The Experience's Radio One session recording. The song was Stone Free and I'd bet he used a Vox amp on that recording.....
Yeh I know he mainly used Marshall amps, but not exclusively. At the end of the day I reckon he was recorded using almost every make of amp, but that Kemper number 1 sound is the Stone Free sound 👍
I think i would like the sounds. Unfortunately i can hear the room microphone as well... strings, plec, switch...
I agree. All demos taken with a room mic are pretty useless imho :(
That said, sounds nice ;-)
Nice playing and great review but no-one ever talks about the buzz. Theres a lot of 60 cycle hum on some of those tones. Doent matter how good your tone is when thats layering in the background. One of the reasons why I'm getting rid of the helix floor. I hated it right out of the box.

I heard of a few people going back to kemper for its responsiveness. I hope when mine comes in I dont have the same problems. As a recording engineer Im picky right out of the gate. Thanks for the video!
Best Kemper tones I've heard so far!
Love the tones and your playing is great! I'm tired of lugging around a heavy amp, pedalboard, mic stand, etc. I'm considering selling them all and just going Kemper and Remote. I did that before with the Line 6 HD500X and regretted it - the tone just wasn't there live, even if it sounded fantastic in my house.
Do you use it live, and does it sound great with a band in a performance situation? Thanks!
your favorite profile tone is also favorite to all Fender guitar lovers, wich means 2/3 of all guitarist in the world. I am no exception.
Wohle be nice if you could switch of your room mic when playing, that really puts me of. Other than that, you are doing great, actually you’re one of the best guitar you tubers out ther. Keep on rockin.
This guy has pure magic in his fingers.
"I don't feel comfortable playing loud amps" . I suspect that is why you still have some hearing left ! Couldn't agree more
Hi, great to watch your videos. Do you have experience with Fractal Gear? If not, why?
Paul: "This is a profile of a Fender Deluxe Blackface, 19...69."
Me: "Nice."
Paul’s a very English name, do you have British heritage? Maybe a Q&A video? I get very excited when you upload, I like how you’re videos aren’t restricted to a particular theme except guitar of course bar that one computer video.. 🤙
James Freeman He's Dutch, but I don't know about his heritage
How's Paul a very english name? Both Paul and James are names that have been around for 2000 years or more popularized by the spread of christianity. They're pretty common names in pretty much all of the western world.
offfffft excellent sounds!~! I go for the matchless in Bias AMp 2 !!
Number 3 is GORGEOUS
Hi Paul! Thank for all the videos you share. Just wonder what do you hear in the room and what do you use for that. Cheers!
Hey Paul, to your ear, are these profiles equally at home in a studio or live? Do you have any different preferences for live performance? Thanks!
Just moving these up - copied from Dominik S. below:
5. TAF - Fan D'Lux BF 1969 1:35 + delay and modulation 1:52
4. Matchless JJ 3- 2:42 + delay and chorus 3:28

2. Marshall Rock- ('72 Mars) 6:35
1. Matchless SC30 R 2- (Matchbox 30) 8:06 + volume down 8:53
Very juicy indeed. Those kempers are the buisness, some very fine playing there too Paul.
Your videos are great
Woaaaah perfect haircut my friend !!! 😱👍👍
And now i want a kemper...
1 and 5 profile are awesome!!!
nice to have you home again ,, err can you do a neon tut ?
have you seen the new strymon iridium amp/cab sim stomp box? I'd be curious to see a comparison to the kemper!
Went to A concert with Mark Knopfler yesterday(Boxen , Herning in denmark). Every tone he played sounded fucking fantastic and apparently these Kemper amps is what he used on the tour, Realy i did not matter if he played clean or a more crunch tone like in money for nothing.
A much better sound overall than last time i saw him on the privetering tour a few years back where he used VOX ac30
Only down side , to expensive for my budget xD
3:28 (stop) then play arrows RIGHT, left, right left, right, left, right, left ...etc... RIGHT, RIGHT, left, right, left ...etc...
(then backwards)
Enjoy XD
Fantastic🔥
Hey Paul! Great vid. I know these Kempers are pretty well revered in guitarist circles but I never really looked into them because of their price...! But I played one at the Kemper booth at NAMM a few years back and have been thinking about getting one ever since.... Any chance you could do an entire video walking us through the unit? The ins/outs/how to create a tone/effects/control via floor board etc....?? That would be a great video with your guitar skills to really show it off..... Thanks :-)
Man thoose pickups are really clear sounding
Amazing tone dude. Are you going to try Boss GT-1000? Would love to see your appreciation of it. Keep it up mate. Greetings from Colombia.
Hi Paul. Another great video. The tones are so convincing. Does the Kemper feel as dynamic to play as a tube amp?
Gary Gamble i never tried one, but heard both sides saying nothing will ever feel like a tube amp and some people straight up glorifying it lol
I don't have a Kemper, but in general I think we've come to a point where digital modelling is able to recreate the feel and dynamics of tube amplifiers.
