I've got a query for the hive-mind. I use a talk box on stage and I'm trying to find a way to get the Kemper to be functional with it. My problem is getting an output signal (monitor out seems logical) to the external power that runs the talkbox and muting the feed to the main output. Is there a way to program the footswitch to do this? Can you use the A/B in a performance to change output routing? Or program profile in a performance to rout to monitor out only? Thoughts?

You could use an Effect Send to send signal to it. The Send could be switched on and off within a Rig. And, any rig without an active Send would send no signal to the Talkbox.

I can see that working and being able to switch on a loop to send the signal to the talkbox but don't see how I can mute the main out at the same time as I don't want to have both running at the same time.

If the loop only has a send and no return signal it should mute the Kemper just like plugging a lead into the FX send of a regular amp.

Derp! That makes perfect sense! I'll try it out tonight. Thanks!!

If the KPA treats the fX send like a signal splitter when nothing is plugged into the Return, you may be able to insert a 1/4” plug into the Return to mute the KPA when the FX Send is active.

Interesting; I've always had to use the Talkbox (Dunlop) in the monitor output, as I'm the only guitarist; if I engage the Talkbox to stop the sound from teh Kemper, the sound goes very 'empty'. I found that if you have the Talkbox and Kemper output together, it sounds a lot fatter.
This thread has made me think about changing this though, so that the output of the Kemper is reduced when the Talkbox is engaged.

I agree that the sound of just a talkbox can be thin, compared to with an amp sound, particularly for rhythm parts. But, melodic "talking" parts sound better to me without the competing amplifier sound. So, I use mine both ways - Talkbox only, and Talkbox + Kemper.
