That song in the beginning is from The Chug Project album 2 and can be heard here:

This rips one's brain out from the ears. Very Eargasm friendly.

OLA WHAT SONG IS IT?!?! IM TRYING TO FIND IT BUT I CANT
smthng sticked to your strings on the headstock
Hey Ola, Kemper introduced "Liquid Profiling" about 6 months ago, where you can tell the Kemper what kind of amp and tonestack you are using and where the knobs were during profiling. Then the Kemper emulates the function of said amp/tonestack and gives you a very good combination of profiling and simulation. So it can really do both now and allow for a faithful/usable editing of profiles.
Yeah I did play around with the tonestacks a bit. I really just felt that it's more about where the EQ is working when using it. I still prefered the original profile without tweaking bass, middle, treble
Sounds ok..... yeah but the old Fractal AX8 still sounds better.
Same price now 2nd hand, better fx, better software, more processing power, etc.
@@MusicheadRick does the AX8 lack a headphone jack?
@@EulogyfortheAngels yes no headphone out. But thou shall use the godly tool in the form of a cheapo mixer !
@@EulogyfortheAngels Ax8 has headphones jack
Nice man! This intro riff is kille! Awesome stuff! Ola the profilerer
Loving the player so far, it has kept me from option paralysis. Found 4 profiles i love and just use them as needed,no more endless tweaking. Using it as a pedal platform and building a board around it.
thats a pretty sweet guitar your playing ola..love the color
Hey Ola!
awesome riffage, bro!
Made me pickup my guitar instantly!
Dang! I'm diggin' that Intro Song even more than the Kemper Profiler Player!
I love my kemper and this edition to the kemper family is great for those who cant afford or need its bigger brother.
The older rigs also sound a bit weak on the Stage and Powerhead. So its not the fault of the 'Player'. Effects are definitely limited compared to the big brothers 😄
Yes, some people are disappointed , it doesn't have a display and the player is limited to 02 pre and 02 post FX.
Ola I’m sorry I haven’t been able to give your channel the attention it deserves but in April of last year I fell and broke my Back and was in recovery for a 9 months but now I’m back and I have a lot of content catching up on thank you for everything you do you’re a great person and a great way to get a person back on their feet you really inspire me brother
Much respect 🫡 and love ❤️
Chug on 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Going to get one of these for headphone practicing late at night. The small size and ability to use my current Kemper rigs and stream Bluetooth audio makes it a no brainer for me.
I'm delighted to see a good review about the Kemper player. It's still very relevant, especially given the liquid profiles that are now available. I believe there will be more utilities available that have not been released just yet with the unit but you'll have to pay for them. Thanks Ola.
Sounds like it has extra built-in effects that are behind a pay-wall 🙄
Nice, Ola, Metropolis! Great song
I was given an introduction to the Kemper Player at the headquaters in Recklinghausen. There will be an update to fix some bugs and add more slots for effects (up to ten I think). Also the power adapter is outside of the kemper and not grounded, there is a noise when you only use your headphones and nothing else but the guitar is attached - they are searching for a solution for this.
Yeah, the Spark 40 had that problem too, but if you grounded it through something, even a usb cable, it eliminated hum . They ended up making grounded psu .
That clean modulated sound is beautiful!
That's always been My favourite sound for writing emotional music!
I just wrote a *lovely* ballad called Chugging Clean Viking Bat Blood
Great video but that guitar is what I’m liking the most. Which Solar model is it?
After wasting money and being massively disappointed in the tonex pedal, I'm just going to stick to my Peavey 6505 and Marshall DSL 2000 amps...
I didn't like it either. Curious, what didn't you like about it ?
And he didnt even try the liquid Profiling yet !
Hey, the Player is limited in the effects. You can just use two in the Front and two after the amp! Midi is possible with an USB-Adapter!
forgive the newb question but, what can you do with MIDI?
Kemper Liquid Profiling has changed the destructive editing thing you're talking about. Which was pretty much like using an EQ on your signal chain like anyone would normally do and its something front of house already does as well so it isn't really as negative as people were thinking.
Same time it is just a variation on bad sound , nam has twice better real sound ,tonex if it has fx it will run circles around kemper
Ola has the best English of any non native speaker on all of CZcams. And hes just the funniest dude, favorite guy on CZcams by far
His English is pretty good, but he's not the best on CZcams ( English wise )
Most Swedes are like that.
Great opening song!
This is the perfect segway to a power amp video. Would really appreciate a video showing different power amps for these units going directly to cabs. Your opinions would be most appreciated. Orange pedal baby, seymour duncan power stage and whatever fancy shit you probably have. Something for everybody!
I love mine! Week two, and still on the first profile. Some day I’ll check out the other amps 😅 Tried to record in Garageband yesterday, and it sounded real good.
U run a kemper for a garage band...? Isn't that bit much for a garage...?😊
You're putting yourself in a digital sampled CD distortion sound closet, and rolling a rock in front of the door.
@@tunnelportterror No worry, my band still uses tube amps and analog pedals 🙂 Kemper is just for home practice and demo recordings.
One thing that's rarely talked about is how the Kemper has its own distinct sound regardless of what amp it is profiling. It's hard to say exactly what it is, but it has its own "color" that it adds to profiles that just make it sound amazing
The closest I could describe the sound is a compressed presence on top of the "actual sound".
@@VortechBand I was thinking that it has a slightly cocked wah sound
That could be the microphone used to profile
I tried this at NAMM 2024 and it indeed sounds great.
Awesome tone
Im STOKED with the new 2.0 update my Pod Go but that Kemper sounds cool too!
These are ALL capable brands. Then its all in the fingers 🙌🏻
Love my pod go, best piece of gear I use it everyday and yes the new update really makes it worth the price.
How do you like the pod go? I’m considering the wireless. I’m looking for some thing that has all the depth and richness that I used to be able to get out of my stacks in the 80s. But I am now a dad and a dedicated headphone wearing guitarist now. Can I get that all that tone and response of the pod go as a standalone with a good pair of headphones? Thank you. All of the guitar plug amps, and the Waza have come up pretty short.
@johnpaulstez personally I'm not a big wireless or battery operated type of person, but I would strongly suggest the pod go. I actually get a lot of my IRs from tone hunt (for free) and haven't had any problems, and the line6 custom pre set sharing with the community is even better. I use mine everyday day and I'm using it right now for my low volume practice on my monitors. And you'll find countless versions of a JCM800 and plexi' cause everyone has their own ideal sound for how every amp should sound, but that's subjective for what sounds "best" to you. I have 3 JCM800 presets and 4 Superlead and 2 plexi' that just sound amazing, you hear them and you're like this 🥴
That git is beautiful!
This has 2 pre and 2 post fx slots so if you had a rig with more fxs then it’ll sound different… also some fxs aren’t in the player so they will be replaced by the included ones so also will sound different. I ordered this because it’ll be perfect for me. Although Pink Floyd with 2 pre and 2 post might be tough lol
Fx is short for and pronounced effects , so fxs is effectses !
KILLER PLAYING OLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really love the Kemper over all the others that I've tried. Something for everyone...
Wouldnt it be great if this would also have a tube or power amplifier for live playing with a band? Also if you could add your ipad to this thing on top for easy set switching, where you could switch effects and amps easily per drag and drop would be awesome. Well i saw there is a function to connect your ipad, but the software looks horrible to me for easy and fast use on stage. If that would be refined with good UI design, i could get into it. Also Important to me is when i would use this thing, that i have a very similar feeling to a tube amp while playing.
I still think the Kemper stage is the best of both worlds!
I love that Solar 😩
That outro slaps
If I had that much cash to spare, the first item on my wishlist is that gorgeous red & gold Solar!!! 🤘😎🤘
Intro riff and chugs 🤌
When I went to a guitar store, I made sure to always have my Kemper with me. If I found and amp I liked, I would ask if they would let me profile it. Some did, some did not. If they did, I would bring it in, set it up and profile it. So I knew EXACTLY what the original sounded like. When I got it home, I would try it out while the memory was still fresh in my head. Perhaps conformation bias made me believe it was a perfect copy, but it was amazing. I "collected" eleven profiles of very high demand amps that way. I even got a Dumble that had a price tag of $110k. But eventually it came back to haunt me. I left it in the trunk and came back out, it was gone. Someone smashed my window, popped the trunk lid open, cleaned me out. Whoever has my Kemper got it preloaded with some KILLER tones. I hope they choke on it.
sometimes "The Cloud is your friend"
@@bellinghammond Yeah. I wish I would have had the forethought of storing it all online. Story of my life!
Yeah, and the asshole who stole it never even knew what they had !
Man, great idea profiling the amps at the music store 😂
How could you miss liquid when tweaking? Someone didn't read the manual. 😅
There is some sweet spot in the mid on the intro, can't put the finger on it (obv. not there), but it's almost gnarly, the down pick just. Gnaurl 🎸
Mines on its way 🤘
Still Loving You....? Yes, I love my KEMPER Stage more than ever!!! 💜💜💜
Love your original DooM shirt ! 🦖
I know the Stage is a lot bigger, but still, it has everything and no need for extra time-consuming tweaking to have your profiles work well. If smaller size isn't paramount, Stage all the way.
But the stage costs so much more. This little units cost puts it in an affordable price point for many 😀
Ola, do you know about the Tight Metal Pro II? hope one day to see it demoed on your channel! by the way, nice guitar!
Ola! 🎉do you run the Kemper into a cab or studio speakers in this video? Sounds fantastic as fuck!
00:04 that drum tone (especially snare) sounds so much like the latest Dying Fetus albums hehe
I'm sending this message directly from Curitiba, Brazil, I really like your videos, big hug🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
this sound kickass
Ola, could you go into more detail into the "Destructive" part in Kemper profiling. Thanks.
Hi Ola, any chance you'll review the new KMA Machines Endgame pedal?
Seems pretty cool.
PLEASE sell those string mutes by themselves! Found out about jimmy clip years after they stopped making them so never grabbed one
Right, it's time to go Kemping!
kemper profiler player / Headrush Core / Quad Cortex. Ola please help to decide which one to buy.
I run a rack Kemper through a 90 watt 6L6 powered Mesa simul class into an old school 200 watt EVL 12" cab and it sounds as good as my real Mesa and Fryette tube amps. It might sound slightly different in some ways but sounds just as good when pushed by real tubes with some class A magic in the mix. Kemper needs a good amp/cab rig to let it shine.
have you tried the Kemper Power Kabinet?
Good to know. I'm looking at getting the Profile Player and running it through my 6505+ 🤓
@@bellinghammond I'm sure it's great, but I don't feel a need to improve my rig. Plus those old EVs are very transparent. So kinda similar concept to what Kemper kabinet is doing there.
@@DragonPlays_Gaming it should sound great running it like that. You might have to tweek the secondary eq to match things up, but a little tweaking can nail your tone.
The fun part is its suspected it has the same processing power as the racks but youll have to pay for that funtionality 😅. I have to admit there are profiles I've been dying to try, especially from Top Jimi
what about the liquid profiles?
Cool man, how can I get the new preset you created?
Metropolis Pt1 is so good
@12:38 yeah, they really "Put the *NAIL* on the head!" 😂 agreed 😁
I've been out of the game for a bit. Is this basically what's replaced Multi Effects Pedals?
Yep, and amps as well.
How much are we talking for this pedal Ola?
Neat little unit I gotta say - but imho Tone-X really seems to have it (mostly) beat at $399 (including the super useful Amplitude software!) AND it also profiles + very useable built in reverb and noise gate. All it needs is your favorite delay pedal if you're into playing leads and you're good to go!
Good and fair point for sure! 👍
Love my tonex pedalboard
I tried both at NAMM and the Kemper was much better
Hey Ola!!! Are you gonna be at NAMM this weekend?
Yes, he will. I believe it was his SWOLA episode where he mentioned it.
Hey Ola! Can you make a kemper profile pack of all the amps you have? With your settings and pedals and your IRs? Id love to have access to some of your tones!
I'm sure he'll get right on it. I'm sure he has at least 3 free hours to help some random youtuber commenting on his videos
@@matthewfreeman33a fair amount of people do this. Settle down
I actually want solar builder on the website!
Hello, I’m playing bass in a 2 pieces grindcore band, only drum and bass. Wanna ask you a question, is it possible for me to separate it into 2 channel, 1st one is distortion sound, 2nd is clean and can i switch or turn off one of em whenever i want?
Of course.
You have 10 Banks each with five rigs.
What you want would use Bank one just using two rigs, you can switch between them using any two footswitches.
You could just use Bank one and have five rigs (add some FX) that you could switch between, seamlessly and instantaneously.
@@guitartoneSA thank youuuu
So this is your new live go to rig?? No more tubes just a plug in kemper and Rawk
Worth noting it DOES have midi/ using a USB > MIDI cable :)
Did they have to make this thing shaped like it's straight from the 1970s? Many of their competitors are smaller at a similar price point.
This would have been good value if it traded blows with the ToneX pedal price-wise but with its current cost, it can't compete.
IK have issues with the input gain etc on ToneX etc but as far as the profiling accuracy and overall offering, the ToneX pedal is still the better buy.
Kudos to Kemper for still carrying the torch though. Hope to see more, improved, products from them in the near future.
that distortion reminds me of the zoom trimetal
Ola I like the Chinese rocks font, reminds me of RDR2
Its just kinda made me scratch my head cuz why dont they add a screen on it? Like I would like to use a tuner without adding another pedal
Orig profile låter badass!
Latency inget problem!
So this or the Fractal FM3?
Cool shirt, Ola.
Hit the nail on the head Ola, hit the nail on the head lol.
Great review. you might be surprised with our failing human ears... (see equal loudness curves, among other things) that you may not remember things exactly as they were.
Good day, Ola.
Yea I’ve had my eye to getting this for the last month
OLA!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥
Considering this thing does not do proifling and tonex does (Just as well as Kemper), while also being twice as cheap, I think the winner between the two is clear.
If it had 8fx blocks and performance mode I would be a no brainer for me🤷♂️
FINALLY...!!!
Ugh yeaugh baby!!!
Shred! 🤘🏻
Can you run this into a Katana PowerAmp?
Hi. Today I was offered a Kemper and I tried it with Catalyst 60. Signal goes to power in Catalyst, return input. And satisfaction, It plays best with the IR turned off.. Between the Kemper and the Catalyst I'll also put the Flamma looper 😀
You know what I enjoy the most is that Kemper plays songs from my mobile phone at the same time as the guitar via Bluetooth...
The sound might be okay, however, for the price I would have expected MIDI utilization for live gig use as well.
It has USB Midi and XLR out.
Ola should do a collab with Estepario.
Mr. Ola, if you could upload that new preset, it would be amazing :)
An effects loop would be nice and midi..
It doesn’t reamp, right?
No effects loop?
Nice unit but I am sticking with my QC.
sticking with your Quality Control?
@@mylogify quad cortex maybe
What is that guitar please ?
Keep on chuggin! 🤘
