Wah Pedal Always Turns On After Powering Up Kemper

  • I have a Missions Expression Pedal that doubles as my wah and volume; it plugs directly into my Profiler Remote via TRS and TS cables.


    Every time I power on my Kemper, the wah turns on no matter what profile is being used (as long as that profile has a wah assigned). How do I keep this from happening? It's not a big deal to turn the wah off after powering up, I just want it to not do this. Any suggestions?

  • You need to change the polarity of the switch on the Kemper

  • I have the same problem just start happening in the last six weeks. I make sure the wah is off when powering off, but when I power up, it’s on. I don’t rembering changing any polarity, but I’ll try this. Thanks.

  • Ok. I have changed the polarity on the Kemper and I have saved my profiles without the wah on. I'm in the same boat as kempmel who commented above me. This started happening six weeks ago. Any other suggestions?

  • Does it happen without the remote connected?


    Without the mission connected?

    It happens once the remote powers up. The remote takes about 5-10 seconds longer to power up than the Kemper. The wah switches on as soon as the remote boots up.

  • Had the exact same problem. Solved it by changing the polarity. Are you 110% sure you changed the right input :)

    Ok. Maybe I’m not changing the polarity correctly. I went into the system settings and inverted the polarity. Is there anything else I need to do to change the polarity? Thanks again!
