Boost/OD/Distortion/Fuzz pedals work fine in front of the Profiler. Make sure the Input LED isn't constantly red (input signal too hot).

Thanks Don for the reply.i will check that out.

Well, if he doesn't get any sound...
Are by any chance your pedal's batteries off?

right, I only read 'sounds like hell'.
weird sound from a pedal followed by silence -> probably a dying batterie, Viabcroce is right. -

Battery is brand new,cables are good.Tried it on my Blackstar amp and it works fine.It sounds awful man with my KPA.Almost like their is no noise gate engaged and I have it up pretty high.trying to use it as a clean boost on some of my profiles.really having a hard time with it.

Still having trouble with OD pedal plugged in front of KPA,does anyone have a profile they use with their external OD pedal I can try out?really would appreciate the help.Thanks.....

choose a medium gain profile, disable noise gate, set OD as a clean boost, but start with Volume at zero and increase as needed.
what profile are you using and how is your OD set? -

double post. threads merged.

Sorry about the double post.i have tried a few jcm 800 profiles and have set it as a clean boost.very low gain on the profile almost AC/DC like tone.A lot of noise with gate on and with it off.

low gain profile & clean boost -> where is the noise coming from? -
Good question brother,i have no idea,when i plug in without the pedal it sounds great no noise.even with the pedal not on there is noise.it sounds like waves crashing on a beach is the best way to describe it.my cords are all good,new battery in the pedal....i am baffled

I have the exact pedal and it works beautifully with the Kemper. Maybe try the ground lifts one at a time in the back of the Kemper.

Deadpan,You are plugging it into the front of the KPA? i tried ground lifts and nothing still noise.
-
I use it with all profiles but I do run the front noise gate between 7 and 8.
-
Thanks for your input but I give up,I tried everything.A mystery I have here.i tried a lot of profiles,clean,dirty it did not matter.

Apart from the "no sound" part, it might be that you're clipping the input... does the Input LED ever turns to red when you play?
OTOH, "no sound"...Is the Profiler still sounding good w\o the pedal in front of it?

No clipping at all,sure it sounds good without the pedal so that is how it will be.the od pedals in the KPA are not really bad sounding at all.The green od is killer and is really similar to my Maxon od808x.Thanks to all who responded.Much appreciated
