New kemper owner and it won't let me profile my amp

Check your microphone!! Broken Cable? Is the microphone powered (+v48V)?

I had the same problem once.... Forgot to power my microphone

I had the same problem. My mic had ON/OFF switch. And I had to use XLR return input. Not the jack one.

Welcome to the forum and hope you get it sorted

Just bought a brand new kemper powerhead and I can't get my Mesa mark v profiles it keeps saying Error no external amp connected or volume too low! Please check and restart profiling. I've checked everything and the volume is cranked and I still get the error. What is the deal? I'm plugged in the way it says however it doesn't seem like here is a whole lot of great info on how to get this working to profile

Chris,

Did you read the Kemper Profiling Guide manual?

Welcome, Chris.

I had the exact same experience. Gave up on it in the end.

Can you describe, in detail, how you have things connected?

Warning non helpful comment following: Haha! i have pretty bad humor and laughed hard at the thread name because my imagination conjured a scene with you trapped in your house with the kemper holding you hostage and not letting you profile your amp Sorry... Carry on

there is the Profiling Guide

It's great that you eliminated the problem.

People have created profiles with load boxes, cab simulators, etc. Some people are happy with their results, and some find them less dynamic/authentic than profiles created with guitar cabinet and microphone.

Welcome to the Family glad you figured it out
