I am a new Kemper user for about a month now and there is something that is driving me absolutely crazy. Ever since I have got my Kemper I have been able to hear my pick hitting my string when I hit multiple string at one time and try to play some kind of triad or chord. What I try to do is try to play as quietly as I possibly can and play in different positions farther back or up by the neck to see where its the worst. When I am strumming as light as I can above the neck I don't hear anything but as soo as I move past the neck moving towards the bridge I start hearing this very very very annoying clacking coming off my pick when I hit the string. When I try strumming with my hand that is a lot better but I like to use a pick. Any suggestions?

I don't think this has anything to do with the Kemper specifically. But it's a known phenomenon in general. The best thing you can do is to try a different pick. Have a look here:

All right, I just spent 17 minutes watching a guy chirping on a guitar... Fascinating video!

Yeah it's best just to "unhear" it and don't worry about it.

Go into the Amp section and turn down the picking control and turn up the compressor.

The Pick I have at zero and that helped dull out that pick sound a lot but I don't see any difference with the compressor
Pick at '0' is actually the default value.

I would have suspected the compressor. Also try those JAZZ III picks to deaden some of the pick attack.
