intended volume of the profile during profiling

  • Hi!

    I am using the Kemper KPA with the Kemper DI box to profile my amps (Mesa Boogie Dual Rec, PRS MT 15, Engl Ritchie Blackmore 100 and a Framus Cobra).
    I've noticed some diffrences in volume in the profiles that I've created and that you can set the initial volume before profiling in the profile menu.

    I am wondering how I can raise the volume of my profiles as now I have a profile of my PRS MT 15 which is seemingly louder then my Framus Cobra and the Cobra sounded way louder in the room/my attic during the profiling phase than the PRS MT 15.

    Does it help to raise the volume of the amp? (next to the fact the powertubes get a bit more sag and warmth) and/or does it help to raise the input volume before starting the profiling?
    I understood that it made not a lot of difference somewhere in the manual but if it does not make a lot of difference why create such an option in the end? ;)

    So my main question is: how can I raise the intended volume of the profile during profiling and not afterwards with the master and rig volumes?

    Thanks for any help.

    PS. I play my KPA through a Harley Benton V30 2x12 which works fine but I also have a Matrix FT10p but somehow I am a bit affraid to try the FRFR route as I'm affraid I'll miss punch and volume which the Harley Benton V30 has plenty.

  • You load a Rig as a reference before you enter Profiler Mode. Use Rigs with similar levels. Then set the Return Level in the menu for the Reference Amp to match the level of the reference Rig (Kemper Amp).

  • You can use amplifier volume to level the volume of your PROFILEs.

    This was my fix, thx!
    I thought the amp volume was the same as the rig volume but I was mistaken.
    This helps levelling all profiles to the same volume without bumping the master volume.

    Happy Kemper here :)

    This does not work when using the KPA, I think this works only on the normal non powered Kemper.
    Since you can not hear a difference between the reference amp and the kemper profile while/before profiling (perhaps if you hook up a headphone set you can but not with a 2x12 cab).
    I might be mistaken though..
