Long cable runs with kemper

  • So my rig is as follows guitar (non-active pickups) > kemper (has freqout in loop, Dunlop expression pedal assigned to wah/volume > Seymour Duncan PS 170 > cab


    in most scenarios I won’t need to run more than a 25ft cable to the back of the stage where cab is. What are your thoughts on having the PS 170 next to the kemper with a small patch cable from the kemper quarter inch output and running a 25ft (12gauge) speaker cable to the cab VS running a 25ft instrument cable from the kemper output to the PS 170 and a short speaker cable to the cab?

    Im thinking if a have a dedicated buffer or pedal like a polytune 3 next to the PS 170 on top of the cab just before the PS 170 input that would fix the long instrument cable run from the kemper. Or should the buffer be right after the kemper output?


    This is only really applicable when running 25+ feet of cable From my understanding, so I’m just trying to gauge what’s a good solution for running my cab.
