Using FX pedals with the Kemper - would this make things sound better?

  • Hello all,


    I have no problem with FX pedals before the Kemper input. But if I use them in the loop or after the Kemper I get problems with overloading and noise.


    I 'think' this is because the Kemper outputs line level and the wrong impedance for most stomp boxes which expect to see instrument level.


    So I was wondering if this would be the solution:


    http://www.radialeng.com/prormp.php


    It converts line level to instrument level and adjusts the impedance. I was thinking the chain would be:


    Gutar>pedals>kemper>line out>prormp>fx pedals>interface


    What do you think would this work?


    Thanks

  • Have you tried just ing the FX Level in the System Settings. P. 153 of the manual.
    Sounds like that might solve your problem... let us know though.


    Good luck,

  • Thanks but I have tried that! Extensive testing in fact. I don't think the Kemper effectively changes the impedance/levels for pedals in the loop. Getting extra noise and tonal changes. Extensive testing with different levels but I think a specialised box like the radial might do a better job of giving pedals what they want to see.

  • I have the pro RMP, and use it for reamping through pedals when needed, like digitech mosaic or wah. (DI from Cubase > Pro RMP > pedals > Kemper).


    What you are proposing is basically the same idea. :)
