Changing Out a Rig in a Performance

    Hi Guys,

    This is going to be a super basic question, but sometimes I get stuck on the dumbest stuff. So while I will appreciate the inevitable funny answers, I want to say thank you to the person who just steps ups and helps me out. So thank you in advance! On to my stupid problem...

    Kemper: Toaster version

    When I establish a performance of 5 rigs, I have ALOT of trouble changing one out. For example, yesterday I wanted to completely erase rig / slot #3 and I ended up with very different yet diabolical results.

    I deleted the slot in rig manager, and attempted to copy / paste a new rig in from my local library directly in to that slot. Looked good on rig manager, but on my actual Kemper, it pasted over my rig in slot one. I had to work furiously to get my main tone back in time for a gig last night ....yes, I know...back it up, back it up, back it up...I had backed it up last week but made some major tweaks this week. =O

    Second attempt, I tried to change the rig in slot #3 by using "browse" on the Kemper itself, and rolled it to the new amp. This worked except the new rig had all the previous amp, cab, EQ, and FX settings, which I did not want.

    To keep this from becoming a novel, would someone please give me a step by step of changing out a rig completely in a performance? Again, thank you much! :)

    So your humour is not gone. Very good. Humour keeps life nice... keep it up. And there are no dumb questions at all.


    Regarding your problem not sure if I can help: Am I right that you are doing all this directly with your Kemper and not by using a Laptop/PC with the RigManager on it? I use the RigManager all the time to create and change my Performances and (with one little exception) it works extremely well and intuitive including copy/paste in different flavours.


    So far I never did it without the RigManager so others here might be in a better position to help out. Anyway I would not expect that it is too complicated for the cases you describe.

    Sounds to me like the "Lock" button was activated then as this is even a wanted behaviour from time to time. Works as designed. So please make sure that nothing is "locked" when you change the rig.
