The ‘Worship Essential’ Kemper bundle by Ben Trickey contains everything you need to play a set of worship with nothing but your Kemper. This pack consists of a live performance, "Trickey Church", with 5 different gain stages; Clean, Crunch 1, Crunch 2, Drive, Solo. Each patch contains some modulation stomps as well as a lush delay and expansive reverb.
To fully utilize this setup Ben uses the ‘Lock’ function on the Kemper which really transforms the bundle. Simply select any of the 5 patches, hold down the lock button and select the 3 green modules at the end of the effects section.
Now when you switch between patches the Delay/Reverb will stay either engaged or bypassed and help you seamlessly switch between tones. On top of this, if you use the morph function on any patch with the Delay/Reverb engaged they expand to give you a huge ambient sound.
