Hi All,

I have been playing guitar for some time. I have many gigs under my belt. I tried to go to a direct rig about 10 years ago with an Axe FX Ultra. It had it's challenges. By the time I got a MIDI foot controller and a couple of expression pedals and connected that all up it was as much work as taking out a small combo with a pedal board, or maybe more work. I very quickly discovered I couldn't leave the front of my monitor so I had to buy some in ear monitors. I just couldn't get what I wanted from this rig and quickly stopped using it. When I saw the Kemper Stage, I immediately liked it. This unit solves all of the issues I had with the other unit. I am figuring this unit, in ear monitors and a wireless and I am up an running. I have all of the other pieces. I bought the unit and it showed up today.

I am looking at possibly buying the green Mission expression pedal to use with this. I plan on setting it up as a volume pedal that switches to a wah when you step on the switch. I know others have done this before me. I know I need a TRS and a TS cable to make it work. I would like both cables to have one angle end and one straight end. Where is a good place to get these and what lengths of cable are others using. By my measurements I think I need them to be between 16 to 18 inches. I don't want cheap cables. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I look forward to this journey with the Kemper Stage and being a participant here.

welcome to the family ?

I’m originally from Florida, been on Michigan for a long long time

Any decent cable will work, it’s not passing audio, just info

I am originally from Ohio. I was born and raised there. I have been in Florida for about 8 and a half years now.

I called Sweetwater on the cables. Evidently getting them the length that I am looking for is not going to be easy. That is why I am wondering what length other people are using for this. I can make the TS cable. I don't have the cable to make the TRS. If I was going to make more than one cable I would consider buying some. I still have have to go that route if I can't find what I want.

I found some at monoprice. They have the angled jack on both ends, which isn't exactly what I wanted. They are 18" and look to be build decent. The price was very reasonable. I will know if they were a good buy once they get here and I can get my hands on them.

I have been looking around at prices on the pedal. For some reason I can find the black one for like $24 less than the green one. I guess I will have to decide if the green one is worth the extra $19.
