Metal Equalizer; Acoustic Simulator - Kemper Profiler Main Manual

Equalizer (Yellow) 165

Metal Equalizer

This can be thought of as the little brother of the Studio Equalizer. It's a 3-band, half-parametric EQ, inspired by the
equalizer of the Boss® Metal-Zone stomp (you can find a model of this among the Distortions).
The Metal Equalizer is perfect for creating the mid-scoop that characterizes the typical metal sound, but since it is
also a regular equalizer, it is also suitable for many other sounds and genres.

Acoustic Simulator

The Acoustic Simulator can make your electric guitar sound like an acoustic guitar. Don't expect perfect results, as
the mechanics of an acoustic guitar are quite different. Nevertheless, the Acoustic Simulator will simulate the
characteristic body resonance and crispness of an acoustic guitar so closely that you might feel able to leave your
acoustic guitar at home, when you only need it for two or three songs that night.
As the Acoustic Simulator is best enjoyed as a stereo effect, we recommend placing it in a module after the stack
section — preferably in the X module. You must also switch off the amplifier and cabinet modules to avoid further
coloring or distorting your sound. If you are using a KEMPER Kone switching off both amplifier plus cabinet module
will automatically switch the Kone into full-range mode even if a speaker imprint has been activated globally. We also
suggest starting with no other active effects when exploring the Acoustic Simulator, and remember you'll also need
to use the Input Noise Gate, as this effect will strongly emphasize pick up noise.
Try the different pickups on your guitar to see which one produces the most appropriate sound. As a rule of thumb,
humbucker guitars tend to work best with the pickup switch in the middle position, while single-coil guitars usually
work best in the neck pickup position.

Pickup
Use this to adjust the sound to the pickup. Turn more to the left for single coils, more to the right for humbuckers.
Since all electric guitars sound different, there is no general rule for setting this correctly. Trust your ears!
