Even Volume across all rigs

  • Hi there.

    It depends on what KPA you have ...

    I have the rack model and if I need to adjust any rig, up or down, I use the

    "Volume" knob* at the front ( lower right ) and press "Store" ( and "Replace" soft button )

    * NOT the "Master Volume" knob.

    Easiest way to do it "on the fly" when rehearsing with the band IMO :/


    Note : Only adjust volume knob before "Store" , if other settings are

    changed they will also be stored !


    Cheers !

    The adjective for metal is metallic. But not so for iron ... which is ironic.

  • Using your ear is really the only way to do it. Adjust each profile using the rig volume knob. If you’re building sounds using the same profile, just start with one that you’ve already balanced and use it as a template. The rigs that come with the Kemper are all generally balanced with each other.


    Also, don’t assume that if two profiles max out at the same volume in a meter in your DAW that they’re the same loudness. Two sounds can have the same dB level, but still be very different in perceived loudness due to things like EQ.

    Edited once, last by OhG ().

  • Start by assessing whether the volume differences apply to all types of profiles or only between clean and overdriven rigs. If you need to balance the level between different clean rigs or different dirty rigs then use the rig volume or amp volume and resave. However, is all clean rigs are too loud or too quiet relative to all dirty rigs then don’t touch the volumes. Instead, raise or lower clean sense in the input menu. This will act as a global balance. Raising clean sense will make all clean rigs louder relative to dirty rigs. Lowering clean sense will have the opposite effect.

  • Basically, unless you play the same equipment setup with no other audio in your listening environment, its not 100% possible.
    Where one sound may sit nicely in the mix tone-wise or volume-wise (live/studio) it may not on another song. This greatly depends on the parts of the frequency spectrum it and the other instruments (making other noise) occupy. It can be a full-time task to get a consistent volume across songs, hence the job of a sound-engineer.

    Some guitar sounds cut through where others don't and when you start audio-competing with the other instruments they may occupy the same frequencies as your song so you then have to up the output to compensate. (and if another player has a bad monitor mix they may play harder/louder to compensate)

    And then our ears perceive the sound differently at different levels, Google "fletcher munson curve".
