I think this thing sounds pretty great, but there's a few things about it I don't love. This a pros and cons review and tone sampler video. I hope you find it helpful. Check out the Kemper below if you want to price it up in your part of the world.

What amp/speaker are you playing through?
I understand your point. If one of the primary ways in using the pedal is with a printer cable, then don't be so greedy and just include one. They're cost would be a dollar, mine is ten. Seems a bit disconnected ( see what I did there?) ????
The kemper isn't a modeller
Its a profiler
So you can load old profiles to this?
The Kemper is my first modeler, and I'm with you on the fact that it sounds great! I have the rack model, and I use it live through house or through my Peavey Classic 50/50 and two cabs. When at home, I can play quiet with headphones, which is great, but it sounds quite different from any other way. The difference seems to be that the highs are more pronounced ( this could be my headphones).
I watched this to see if it was worth switching for live situations, and it seems to me that the price point makes me want to stick with what I have.
I agree that there is a huge learning curve when coming to this unit. I spent days watching YouTube to learn the subtle ways of editing rigs. I also spent a massive amount of time playing different rigs to find tines I like. I found that I seem to gravitate toward two or three different amp tones (1. A good Fender clean 2. A Marshall drive sound 3. Supro kind of Led Zeppelin tone). The liquid models and the ability to change to a model of gain stage is amazing. I don't use the software to do this, I just dial it in on my rack.
Anyway, thanks for the informative time which helped me save a few bucks.
So where are the effects? Delay, Chorus, etc- i assume its not really a multi effects unit- but you capture the sounds from an amp and play it back- hence profile player. Just want to be sure I understand the product as it is
How well does it work in a Live setting
I love my Kemper Toaster, but it's a lot of carrying with the remote. I bought the Player for $730 (not available used at a lower price anywhere – yet) with the idea of using a few analog pedals and an external midi switcher on a small, "al-in-one" digital pedal board. Problem #1 is the power source – you need a CIOKS DC7 and another unit (total $300) to run it on a pedalboard without plugging in the included power supply. Problem #2: to get the best functionality, Kemper wants $300 for software downloads. That's $1300+ before you add the pedalboard and extra pedals. I returned it and got a Kemper Stage used for $1100 that does it all (except for the annoying tuner that Kemper employs!). I think when you can get a used Player for $400 and more power supplies are compatible, it's potentially an option, but it doesn't seem to make sense from a practical or financial standpoint at this time. With Tonex coming out with an update containing more effects and market prices under $300 used, Kemper Player seems like a poor option.
There’s no way to run stereo out of the xlr?
Тhis will not replace PlimSoul and a tube amp )
what a bad sound
I don't know why the success
my tube preamp pedals sound so much better with a naturel and dynamic sound full of harmonics and great clean tone
vs this boring dark sound (like all the digital units)
But if you were a guy with a youtube channel, could you review pedals and trust that the Kemper wasn't screwing it up? Given that the Player Profiler only has 2 FX (pre-amp, plus 2 post-amp), pedals really are an issue.
The Kemper Player is my first Kemper and I love it.
You're looking more like The Edge.
i love my kemper and have recorded a fair few albums with it. from metal really soft clean stuff. i’d still rather have a real fender deville orange ac30 marshall and something heavy. but i can’t afford those things. i can’t record them as nicely and i certainly can’t take all those on stage = Kemper. knopfler having one on stage ended the argument for me.
i come to preach the following word from on high… real amps are better, so sayeth the lord ????
tbh, UAFX and TONEX still better for me, kemper profile it's just too expensive and some are not my cup of tea
It’s a great compact unit and the software isn’t really a problem. Worst thing about it is that you can’t switch on the tuner and mute it. You can select a channel and mute it but you can’t activate the large tuner only the small 3 led one. I contacted Kemper and they said there would be an update soon. There’s no way of assigning a patch using 2 foot switches combined, so that would be a solution. It’s worth the money nonetheless. I love the iridium too but it’s for a whole pedal board system. This is the best sounding amp sim around especially if you need clean sounds. A lot of these units have awful clean sound
I’m so confused with all these things coming out. I don’t know what I need to get lol is there a difference between a modler and an effects pedal? Lol it may be a crazy question, I just want to make sure I get the right things like do I need a cabinet too? Can someone please guide me? I always just used a guitar and amp but I want better/more sounds.
