Easy 'amp like' footswitch

michaelliekens · Nov 23rd 2014

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, and just got my Kemper.
Now I'm on the search for an easy footswitch, and that doesn't seem that easy.

I'm basicly looking to use my Kemper as an amp.
One bank, with four options. (Clean amp, clean with fx, distortion and boosted sound)

The Behringer FCB, Ground Control, ... all offer too much options for me.

Does anyone have experience with these type of pedals?

PEAK controllers: http://www.peak2005.com/j/5-midi-foot-controllers
Randall RF8: http://www.randallamplifiers.com/th_product/rf8/

They seem quite reasonably priced, and do just what I want them to do.

Thanks!!

I use a Tech 21 Midi Moose. Works very well and is INCREDIBLY easy to program.That and my Mission expression is all I need.

If you are literally using four sounds (without turning on/off effects in the sounds):

A Boss FS-6, connected to one of the pedal inputs on the back of the Kemper is the simplest option.

You can use the pedal to go up/down from rig to rig. You can limit the Kemper's pedal switch range to those four rigs.

+ 1 to the Boss FS-6

Thanks!!

Well the Boss seems really easy but that is a bit too limited as I would like to have a rig available per song for example.

So the Midi Moose seems like the better option, if I can switch rigs and have some sounds per rig that I can choose.

PEAK FCBN4N2 you mentioned,offers immediate access of 4 rigs within a bank, and it seems to be ideal for what you want.
Another option at the same price and an even smaller footprint, is CICOGNANI MF24.

If you create performances for your songs, the Boss will be more than enough

You might as well use a normal amp's double footswitch: you'll just have to press each switch twice

I still think the midi moose seems like the best option for you. You have access to any 5 rigs at a time and an up and down button to access another 5 rigs per bank.

Great pedal, well built, runs on a 9v battery if you want and is reasonably priced.
