Re: Kemper Profiler: Never been more disappointed in a purchase
With every modeler I have owned in the past since the old Fender Cyberdeluxe and Vox Blueface Valvetronix, it has taken a little while to dial in exactly what I like to hear, but when flipping through the factory presets, I never found them completely unusable and harsh in the treble frequencies like this. There are so many variables with this Kemper. Is it a problem with the input settings, global amp settings, output settings, cabinet settings, speaker settings, the studio monitors themselves, their placement in the room, the rigs that the creators recorded, some tweak I need to make to amp presence or treble..... I have tried everything, and by the time I get the harshness dialed out, it has turned the rig I am playing into mud. It sounds like Paul Riario's Guitar World amp reviews on Youtube. I play a lot of the amp he reviews and they sound great when I play them, but the way he EQ's everything it sounds icepick harsh. That is what I am getting from this Kemper on every rig.
