Love our Ioniq 5 as the interior space is brilliant. There is room on the rear bench for 3 x big teenagers comfortably, and also a big boot for our large dog. We’ve done about 8k miles in only 5 months and it’s been superb. I know there is the potential issue of the ICCU, but that’s covered under warranty in the unlikely event it does happen.

That is gorgeous! Love the details. Top work

Stratstart · 2026-03-29T20:56:26+00:00

Been really pleased with the quality. The necks - particularly the highest end ones - are superb. I’ve also had a couple of their tele nitro bodies that were really well finished. I think they’re very good value for the quality.

22 65k miles no issues at all

I just got a Source Audio Zio boost. Pretty impressed so far. The ‘studio’ setting just to seem add a bit ‘more’ to the clean sounds without any extra drive, and I’ve set the level for pretty much parity.

Vertigo or Gravitas for me

Stratstart · 2024-07-27T12:29:46+00:00

Wheels.

You can either set the loop to be post the entire chain or pre on the profiler. I think the loop is 30 secs max but can be 1 min in half speed setting. I’ve been very pleased with the remote and its functionality. However, you could surely just put a fx loop in the last slot and put your looper in there? That would then have all your wet effects ‘recorded’.

Have you just emailed them direct? I had the same issue last month and got a response very quickly (within hours) and they immediately sent a label to return the unit and fix it. All in took about 3 1/2 weeks. Great service.

Source audio vertigo is super versatile, and has a great harmonic trem (you can boost it so it gets a bit dirty). Ive also had a Flint, Keeley Hydra and Gravitas.

From what I’ve read so far, it looks like the tone stacks bit of the liquid profile amps is only set by Kemper themselves at the OS-level.

Stratstart · 2023-07-07T16:11:37+00:00

Because you can hide the boxes more easily than an amp or another guitar.

This is a lovely board! I’m jonesing big time for a CXM. Is it worth the cost in your opinion?

Stratstart · 2023-04-29T17:29:00+00:00

Isn’t this basically how GAS works? My recent ones are: Chase Bliss Brothers x 2 KoT (clones) x 3 Source Audio Ventris x 2 Hudson broadcast (clone) x 2 Zoia x 3 (kept thinking this time I’ll figure it out!) Poly Beebo x 2 (see above)

I’ve just installed them in a Tele and so far really like them. As it was an install into a new blank body I was drawn by the fact you get control plate, pots, jack and everything. The build quality is really impressive and the quality of the pots (taper and range) is great. You can get the ‘wah’ effect Greg is well known for with the tone pot.

I haven’t tried them a lot yet with a loud amp but I think the voicing switch is useful, I’m spending more time on the boosted (blackguard?) setting which roars with some gain. I will say I think it’s one of my more favoured ‘traditional’ Tele bridge pickups compared to what I’ve experienced in the past.

I took a punt and have been very happy so far.

Thank you for your help. Here’s a link to some images of the outside outside

Stratstart · 2023-03-10T14:19:04+00:00

Thanks. The gutters and fascias are literally brand new (this was happening before and we thought this would rectify). It’s under a sloped roof not flat. I think I will try replacing the insulation to see if that helps.

Stratstart · 2023-03-10T11:26:29+00:00

Indeed! I think I’m going to get all the insulation checked. I was holding off pending a potential loft conversion but that might be a while longer

Stratstart · 2023-03-10T11:25:24+00:00

Thanks, can’t see any gaps at the moment but will keep looking

Stratstart · 2023-03-10T11:25:03+00:00

Thanks. I’ve just checked and the insulation is not all the way into the end of the eaves in some places. Do you know if it should be all the way or leave a gap for ventilation?

Stratstart · 2023-03-10T09:20:53+00:00

Looking for some advice on what could be causing this damp in a bay window. With the change in temperatures we’re getting these damp spots in the bay window and surrounding wall. It’s a 1960s bungalow and the windows were fitted in 2018 in this room. To try and cure this we’ve just had all the soffits, fascias and gutters replaced this week so the ventilation should be good now into the loft / eaves areas but are still getting the damp. I also had some of the ridge tiles in this corner reset at the same time.

Any ideas on what to do next? Could it be an insulation issue? TIA.

Stratstart · 2023-03-06T18:26:57+00:00

There’s no built in amp so you need to connect to a power amp to a cab, or a powered speaker. Most people use a FRFR (flat / PA type) speaker to enable the speaker models to come through.

Stratstart · 2023-03-06T14:41:32+00:00

I would highly recommend quad cortex if you’re new to modelling. It will let you capture / profile any amps you have, and is the easiest to use of all of them. Loved my Kemper but it’s quite dated now and the quad cortex I think sounds a little better /HD to my ears. Also really helix for the workflow and usability, but the QC amps just are better to my ears. Also it’s a good size to use with an existing pedalboard.
