I am attempting to reamp. I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for an interface. Logic Pro X as my DAW.....(One) L Main out to interface input 1, interface R output to return input on kemper ...I'm using TS cables. I do not have SPDIF out on my interface...when I adjust the input source on kemper to return, I get feedback most of the time. Depending on rig. When I record, I get the DI signal with feedback ....not sure if I should be using TRS cables, or I need a dif interface for this to work.

use spdif ...

Nothing to do with spdif, or which kind of connection. The problem is most likely in the mix control setup.
See my signature for a fairly detailed guide (using spdif, but the principles are the same). The guide is also related to mix control and logic, so you're set there

Didn't realize that.
The problem is not with the KPA - it's some kind of internal monitoring that gets sent back to the kpa.
Do you have input monitoring engaged in logic?

Make sure that the 'Direct Monitor' switch on the front of your Scarlett is set to off. You need to unroute the DAWs output from Scarletts output as it is needed to carry the DI track to the Profilers Return Input (route the recorded DI track to the output connected to your Profiler). You can only monitor through headphones while reamping. HTH

Hi evenian,
Sorry to hear that you're having some problems with your 2i2.
I'm not too sure that I understand the routing that you've described. An example way to set this up would be:
- Set your dry track in Logic to Output 1
- Connect output 1 on the Scarlett to the input on the Kemper
- Connect the output of the Kemper back to input 1 on the front of the Scarlett (be sure to use a 1/4 inch jack connection into the Scarlett to avoid engaging the mic preamp)
- Set Direct Monitor 'off' on the front of the Scarlett
- Create a new track in Logic and set this to input 1
- Mute the track, then press recordUnfortunately I can't really think of a way that you could do this and be able to monitor the signal at the same time without incurring a feedback loop, if you don't mute the track you will end up sending this round the loop as well, which would explain the problem you're having.
You might therefore be better with an interface that has more than 2 inputs/outputs, for example the Scarlett 6i6 (which also has SPDIF): https://focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-6i6
I hope this helps, please let me know if you need any further assistance.

I took everyones advice and I got it to reamp without feedback. The only prob is the volume of the recording. The volume is low, and the distortion is low. It sounds like I recorded a distorted guitar with the volume knob on my guitar turned off 90%... I need to boost the output volume.. Anyone have any ideas ? Also, not sure if I have it set up right , but the sound I want the DI guitar to become, is what I have on the kemper screen... Thanks again for the advice thus far...
Used the 2i2 too. Put the master volume higher to get more volume into your interface. Also use the main outs of the KPA

You may also rise Reamp Sense to get a healthy input to the Profiler.
