What external hardware do you use with your Kemper?

Another for a El Capistan

In a few months(it's being restored) a echoplex ep 3.

mostly the boss re20 which is fantastic reverb/delay. besides a big muff, a whammy which is not working at the moment, a boss compressor and mxr eq.

A Damage Control Liquid Blues pedal. Not sure if I want it in front or in the loop yet.

Roland VG99 front end to KPA via SPDIF. It allows guitar modeling, alt tuning, and extra effects.

Since I don't have a midi foot switch yet sometimes I get my clean to overdrive sound from my stomps. I still use my Tonebone Plexitube, Ethos Classis, the old Tim, HT dual, Tube King to name a few just to experiment how profiles differ when used with stomps. However it's just my realization that one way or the other I have similar or very similar sound with loaded profiles. Or maybe its just my ears fooling me again. Next I will try BBE Sonic Maximizer and then Nova System and see what will come out of them. I'm enjoying the experience.
I run direct about 80% of the time however I find TIM to be very flexible, be it with my SS and tube amps and now with KPA.

I tried a MXR 10 band in the effect loop and it sounded great though the level had to be kept down (way down, I couldn't run it near 0db) or it would overload the return causing pops and for the sound to cut out.

Behringer DEQ 2496

Aaaaah, it is a shame people have to put extra EQ to KPA, BECAUSE there is no enough delicated eq in a monitor and main output!

I have a patch bay plugged into the KPA effects loop. All sorts that I occasionally use but most often a Strymon Bluesky and Timeline (nice pitch-shifted delays), a boss slicer and a DD20 delay. I put a Boss loop station after and sometimes drive the KPA input with a Maxon vop-9. A Pod Hd500 gets some occasional use for its effects. All out to a pair of Adam A7x monitors.

Options

I'm getting closer and closer to turning the Pod HD 500 back on. I want it to serve as a midi controller and to add some effects, but I will thoroughly test the best way to do this. Ultimately, the Pod has some sought after effects for the KPA crowd - spring reverb, cave reverb (I need to do a shoot-out with the cave vs. ambient reverb in the KPA), octo reverb. I also expands the number of effects I can employ - more delays, more EQ, etc.

Ultimately, if I wanted the KPA to function as a do-it-all pedalboard, I couldn't do it. Whammy, Octaver (50% mix unlike Whammy), Wah, compressor, OD, EQ, chorus, flanger, synth filter in front. Granted, I'll never run them ALL at the same time, but I can clearly envision times when the KPA's 4 slots will be inadequate. I would also like to do a shoot-out of the KPA's fuzz vs. Pod's. I have a feeling they will both be a bit lacking but whatever.

Also need to shoot-out pitch shifters.

I also have a Bad Horsie wah pedal.

I've used a Boss GT100 in the 4 cable method, mainly for the ability to use the on board 30 second looper and I'm also quite partial to the Boss Mods/Delays. Always have the Onboard Expression Pedal set as a Volume Pedal Pre Effects. This sounded ace however... I now use the Kemper in Performance Mode Live, absolutely love it and the FX are gorgeous. Use a Roland FC300 Midi Controller to change rigs, turn on/off mods/delays, control Volume and Wah ( how cool is the wah feature where when you stop moving pedal it seamlessly goes off !) I do use an Electro Harmonix Synth Ego and a Ditto Looper within the KPA FX Loop allocated to the X slot...now if CK and the team could only get something like this to us in a future update......

I used a Maxon OD808 and Diablo OKKO and in the FX loop Multiehead various delays, also a Spring Reverb for Vintage sounds, which are unfortunately not available in the KPA.

Roland VG-99 for instrument models when I need a different guitar sound than the one I brought today.

For the El Capistan users.

Where in the chain are you putting the pedal?

mono loop in chorus block

If I were a gigging musician I would simplify and think I would have little to nothing but I'm not, so I have a bunch pre KPA and in the loop. I sold a bunch of pedals off but I learned soon after having the KPA that I simply want the flexibility. I don't think the onboard effects are going to give me the same quality wah fuzz octave vibe at the same time when I want them all at once.

I wish the loop didn't take up a slot. I lock the stereo loop post amp and run multiple Strymon pedals for modulation, delays and reverbs and wouldnt give those up either.

I don't have to minimize anything so I treat it like any other amp with a loop and I have all of the flexibility I want without having to deal with slot limits and programming a midi controller. Works great for me this way.

Very similar to the OP, Maxon OD808, MXR 10-band in front. Also have a Decimator Pro Rack & an old Korg DTR1000. Delicious...

Mostly stereo loop x slot but it can be fun before a slightly dirty amp as well.

FCB1010 and Roland switch; that's it. KPA gives me all I need for EFX. I do use a Boomerang III and Side Car sync'd to AKAI MPC 2500 for some occasions, which is external to the KPA, KPA routed to mixer and send returns to the Boomerang.
