Hello,Does anyone use a Maxon OD 808 with their Kemper or any other overdrive pedal? How does it sound.i,know the KPA has the equivalent of a OD pedal but how big of a difference is there I guess is my question.

I believe the TS emulation that's in the Kemper is based on a Maxon 808.

I used od808 and loved it. Replaced that with 808x even better. I also use od9pro+ which is awesome as well.
-
Yes I use various OD pedals, prefer them to Kemper OD.
A few I use often are:
TS MINI, TS , OCD, MXR FET BONAMASSA, TC DARK MATTER, SHIBA DRIVE, FULLTONE 2B
a few more that I can't remember right now lol. -
I've swapped between the Green Scream and my OD808 a few times because I keep thinking the Green Scream sounds wimpy, but they're actually pretty much identical.
Is there some reason you don't want to use one of the boosts in the Kemper? If you put the Pure Booster in one of the slots before the amp, it just turns up the gain - or you can use the Lead Booster to do the same thing but add a little high-end to help cut through.
-
I seem to remember somewhere that the Green Scream has more headroom on its Gain/Drive knob than the real thing, so you have to set it to like 1.2 to equal minimum on the real one. I dont have an od808 to confirm but it lay explain perceived differences, particularly thinness.
Also you gotta remember <0.0> is max tone. Going beyond that does nothing.
-
i use a ts before going into kemper. Somehow it sound more organic than the kemper drives.

Yes that is just annoying, can we just get it to use the whole spectrum of the pot in a new update. when I put my TS at 2 oclock or whatever, I'd like my knob on the Kemper to be at the same position.
-
CK said it would eventually be fixed but that was a while ago iirc
-
Yeah like six months ago, it's not a big fix could've been added a long time ago with the other updates! Not to be pissy but who had the bright idea to put the pot only working halfway while all the other stomps it works normal! Good thing this thing sounds as good as it does cause ....
