Updated ‘Plexed for Kemper’ and more
Live Ready Sound just released their “Plexed for Kemper” profile pack, you might have seen Have Guitars Rig Showcase on that, and now this profile pack has already been updated. The pack now contains 38 fine Kemper profiles and I say “fine” because that’s just what they are. Very nice captures from a Marshall Plexi amp.
Now if that is too hot for you, you might wanna check in the new “Tweed profiles” pack from Live Ready Sound. I’ve tested it and it sure sounds like a Tweed to me!
Note that both these packs are currently on sale, so get them now and any future updates for a nice price!
Thoughts on Kemper EQ
For all the Kemper owners, here’s a video I really recommend. It’s from ToneJunkie TV, an excellent youtube channel that you should subscribe to. The topic of the video is as the headline says, tweak your Kemper profiles so that they sound even better. Don’t be afraid to turn those knobs!! 😉

Rig Manager 2.1.18 (Beta) is available!
Yes, some fixes in the new beta of Rig Manager, you can them below… I’m usually a bit more careful about new betas for the Kemper OS than what I am for these Rig Manager betas. Don’t know why though. Anyways, I have updated my Rig Manager and so far (=playing for about 2 hours) no problems.
Oh, that’s right I think you need to update to beta versions through Rig Manager (well, I can’t see the beta on Kempers webpage!) so if you haven’t:
Goto File->Preferences and check the box titled “Include Beta Test Releases”. Then click OK to close that window and go to “Help” and choose “Check for Software Updates”. Note: even if I’m careless I do not take responsibility for your installation of beta versions. And that was my disclaimer.
Features and changes in this version (2.1.18):
– Fixed: wrong author name when creating new performance
– Fixed: sync indicator shown forever after sorting rig list (Windows only)
– Fixed: wrong Tempo Enable display when selecting multiple performances (Windows only)
– Improved: handling of blocked Profiler communication (macOS 10.13 High Sierra only)
– Improved: error handling in automatic software update

Kemper Effects: Reverbs!
Have Guitar takes a stint stare at the reverberation effects in the Kemper Profiling Amp. For the reverb effects in the KPA you’ll find five different types; Hall, Large room, Small room, Ambience and Matchbox. It’s a somewhat limited range of reverbs but it’s what’s available right now and in this video Have Guitar will go through them all and their settings.
Most of the sound examples are recorded / lined into Cubase to give you a clear sound of what it sounds like in a recording situation.
Guitar used in this video: Fender American Standard Stratocaster 2014 with a Shawbucker in the bridge position and Custom 50’s singlecoils.
Some say the effects in the Kemper Profling Amp are not that good but I really don’t know if I agree on that statement. Too me most of them sounds good enough or even better than that… but hey, that’s me. I’m known to prefer the digital reverb in the KPA over a real spring reverb…
So, with that said… or rather, written… hope you like the video! If you do please consider subscribing to Have Guitar, I’m doing my best to publish new videos every week (on Thursdays) and hopefully I’ll get better as I do so. Thanks for watching my videos and a Very Big Thanks to all of you who allready subscribes!

Kemper Rig Showcase: Mattfigs Buddy and Camerica
(Sorry the planned video for ReampZones Bogner Uberschall Twin Jet had to be cancelled due to technical problems… working on solving that!)
Have Guitar is twice as happy as usual to be able to present to you – double feature Kemper Rig Showcase: Mattfigs Buddy and Camerica profile packs!
The Buddy profile pack is based on the Salvation Mods MTS Preamp Buddy – inspired by the american amplifier Budda® Superdrive 60 “with a unique vintage/modern feeling and very expressive voicings” according to the information on their website. To me it sounds like a more vintage style amp and it has some really good tones in it.
The Camerica profile back is based on Salvation Mods MTS preamp Camerica – inspired by the Cameron® Atomica amp (famous variation of Jose circuit), descibed as “High gain amp on HI mode, on LO mode hotrodded plexi with unique saturation”. This pack has some seriously good profiles and it sounds more “modern” than the Buddy.
