    My Kemper Stage had a fault. Kemper support has been a bit hostile at times. Not that impressed.

    Sent it back to Guitar Guitar today so hoping for it back ASAP but won’t hold my breath. They took a week to look at a broken zip last time. 
    Have you posted on the official forums about it?
    Yep. I’m a regular long time member there. I’ve had a Kemper Powerhead since 2012.

    No one has any idea.

    Nice! How come you wanted one, mate?
    Well, live and with the band, Im sorted... The Carr Mercury V is perfect.

    Home use - I like a good looper, with reverse, and miss the Kemper for this aspect. So, Ive been using the excellent HX Stomp - with a couple of pedals in the loop. But, to use the HX Stomp loop correctly I need the Morningstar MC6... AND a buffer (in the Boss TU3w). So, roughly about £600 sitting there...

    Sell those, and Im someway to landing the Stage - ideal for home use, and as a back up for the live rig.
    My stage arrived yesterday. Couldn’t resist...

    Saw Kiefer Sutherland last night and both he and his lead guitarist were using Kempers and it sounded brilliant! If it's good enough for Jack Bauer...

    Check out my band Coral Snake if you like original hard rock!

    GuitarGuitar are replacing mine and it'll arrive tomorrow on a Sunday delivery.

    On a side note, using Performance mode, do you guys notice a slight delay when changing rigs when the amp you change to isn't the same one you came from?

    Have only had time for a quick look. All seems present and correct. It’s a very neat unit. Looks like it’s going to be perfect for rehearsals

    The reason I returned my Stage is because of this ticking issue that occurred every 13 seconds.

    I got my new one delivered today I’m still having the weird ticking noise issue!

    I’ve changed amps, speakers, power amps, leads, guitars, changed plug sockets, put it through a monitor, and it still does it. I do not hear it through headphones, and it’s mainly audible through the Monitor Out. 

    I’ll bring it to practice tomorrow so I can test it out as I wonder if it’s some strange interference it’s picking up. The issue is quite low volume, and doesn’t increase massively with a volume increase so when you’re playing you can’t hear it at all. 

    I’m thinking that it’s picking something up. My Powerhead doesn’t do it. And it’s not coming through the headphones so I have no idea. 

    Does anyone have a clue what it could be?

    Here’s a video of the issue.

    Guys. The issue above seems to be fairly common. Turn your speakers up and check if it's doing it.

    ok just came back from 6hs in studio so I could not only play at proper gig volumes but also with the whole band (another 8 people) and it's everything I expected my Ax8 to be

    The adjustments were minimal (I created a performance using a bunch of Tone Junkie Two Rock profiles) and most importantly everything sounded very close to the original intention when at home. Have a few bits and bobs to fix but nothing like the massive steep learning curve I had with the Ax8. 

    No issues with white noise, failing footswitches etc .. my QSC K8.2 was a tad light on the low end but that's probably due to high pass setting in the monitor (125hz if I'm not wrong) but nothing got lost in the mix, clarity was all there so all in all a very nice experience.

    Looking forward to spending more time with the unit, I think it definitely worth it the investment.

    Well, well, well... mine has just developed the exact same noise this morning... about every 15 seconds.

    Did you raise a ticket mate ?

    I'm sure a software upgrade will sort it.

    Yea I’m not sure what it is. Peach guitars think it’s software, GuitarGuitar don’t have a clue and Kemper aren’t responding to me. So I’m completely in the dark. It would be nice if they told me whether they think it’s a software or hardware issue so I can return it and try again or wait.

    Yep. My HXFX broke and they instantly sent me one from the States and didn’t even ask for the broken one back. 

    Hope you're okay and out soon.
