Kemper Rig Check - Trivium's Matt Heafy

Trivium are one of the hardest working bands out there. We had the chance to meet them between their big summer festival shows at an "in between club gig" at Zeche Bochum. We talked to Matt Heafy about the Trivium #KemperProfiler based rigs and we are able to get some user questions answered.

Kempers, weights, and bjj.... 3 reasons to check out Trivium right there

[@mrhamburgler480]

He's a genuinely nice dude

[@ericmatthias2972]

Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me

[@dylanbenedict3599]

@Eric Matthias instablaster ;)

[@JohnnyNutman]

haha double refrigerator rig. that was great.

[@bryanlettow4389]

I like how its about a sentence or two answer then back to the generic riff

[@dquaid666]

I agree. I use to be a purist and hated the amp simulators until I bought one of these. I'm not a great guitar player but this is so simple and easy to use. I got sick of hauling a ton of equipment and relying on the sound guy.

[@cannedmilk]

this guy is so chill

[@megansstang]

Great info...thanks !

[@StrayGoose]

"the less stuff between my fingers and the listeners ears, the better"
Just put your fingers in my ears Matt, lets cut the bullshit.

[@Kessellish]

awesome band and this is the exact head I want for my amp

[@mattkemerait]

Trivium doesn't have a private jet? Jesus people we keep dropping the ball.

[@metallicaguy123]

Mattycakes they’re not on same level as Metallica or Iron Maiden. Unfortunately, this is about as far you go with a successful metal band these days. To make them a commercial success, they’d have to “sell out” and create poppy music to appease the generic crowd. I like them just the way they are now.

[@rabbit9577]

I the 80s they would have a private jet. In an intervew Misha from Periphery said that albums and shows didn’t pay the bills, he earned money via TH-cam, endorsements and selling merchandising.

[@livesongs82]

Matt and maynard should both meet up for some time on the mat

[@gonzalochairez677]

Legend

[@Bihihihi]

matt happy

[@ProDoucher]

dun dun dan dun dan dun dan du daanan da nann

[@Niloy63]

hahahaha i appreciate the laugh my friend!

[@wyattrippy5939]

Until The World Goes Cold?

[@markolivares6943]

🤣🤣🤣

[@okvltism]

last time he played in Indonesia was 2008 damn that's long ago

[@hops2099x]

Mine is shipping now, after years of fighting it because I am an elitist tube head. It just sounds too good and is so simple it's a dumb choice to not use a Kemper at this point, small home studio or on the road it does it all.

[@RustyNotesTV]

Welcome to the family. You won't regret it!

[@markolivares6943]

I feel you man I was the same way till I recently purchased the powerhead.

[@TVoltG]

@David James curious to hear too.. I have a little over a year with my Kemper Powerhead. It's a monster.

[@metalgear4199]

Very happy with my profiler for studio monitors use, impressive. Still fighting to get that tone on a real amp (even bought the Kemper Kone for my 1x12). What’s your experience with real cabs for in the room feeling?

[@jcthomas1836]

Cool dude!

[@alienlovesecrets9379]

He requested it from Kemper in 2016 - Line6 delivered it in 2018. What a shame. Time for Kemper to blast the world with the new Kemper in a pedalboard format. Move!

[@artvandelay2144]

done

[@Francisco17Berrios]

2:50 So basically FM3 haha

[@jessetate9701]

Do u have the power head version or no?

[@vrless]

Matt is cool.

[@hanif7612]

The Atomic Amplifire fits the bill I guess, 3 buttons, lead, rhythm & clean and you'r golden

[@hanif7612]

Chae H with good IRs they all sound comparable. And it's not like Trivium is running models of clean boutique amps in their Kemper. They're only using the 5150 models ffs.

[@capoman1]

3:07 He says that there is a tubescreamer in there... So did the Kemper model the tube screamer as well? Or does he have it as a pedal?

[@VortechBand]

I believe he's talking about the profile he uses. Not that there is a separate TS built-in on the Kemper, or a physical pedal.

[@VortechBand]

Or, in case I misread. Yes, when you profile with the Kemper, you profile your entire rig including pedals, the cabinet, etc. If you had a chorus pedal active, you will have it "built-in" on your profile. You cannot "change" cabinets or effects after the fact. You will need to create a new profile, if you prefer to use a Mesa cab instead of Marshall, for example.

[@jeremyjameslv]

Gracie barra bjj shirt.. nice

[@telesavalas1]

Not my kind of music, but a genuinely nice guy!

[@AlSabbagha]

Practice*, kemper.

[@andrep0wly35]

can anyone tell me what he says at 2:10 ? what rig/profiles

[@Samuelhj]

I guess our main tone is a rig kind of from someone else, I believe it is a Colin Richardson setting of an Andy Sneap rig.

[@andrep0wly35]

Thanks:')

[@mesalaney7282]

Im selling my mesa road king 2 and my 6505+ and getting a kemper!

[@jaredrodriguez6316]

What wireless does he use

[@MrSB895]

I’m pretty sure they’ve used the Shure Wireless for quite Sometime. I might be mistaken though

[@indicomidas]

whats the name of Profile he uses?

[@Mic1904]

I think it's a custom profile that they made with Colin Richardson. I don't think its commercially available.

[@Aaron_LH]

He said his last name wrong

[@robinrongy1483]

what wireless system is that ?

[@weasellia9953]

He says there's nothing else but I can clearly see a tuning pedal back there #MattHeafyIsAFraud #Sellout

[@Frontbuner]

Weasel Lia Thats for his roadie to use while changing strings.

[@ksb-ld5ow]

For their guitar tech, dummy

[@Gdude899]

15 to 16 mins to keep his guitar skills up man u probably either got it or u do'n't

[@rhitosparsha]

I think he said 15 to 60 minutes.

[@Ibanezguy2007]

funny that it was so good using a Kemper they've now gone back to real amps not toys.
