FX instead of Kemper remote foot controller

  • Imagine that I would like to place just one stomp box (like an RC-Booster) to work with my new Kemper.


    Please note that I still do not own the Remote board (will come soon).


    What should I do?

    Use it in the send & return?
    I would have it before pre-amp of course.


    I can't find tips&trick in the manual and online.


    I will have the remote soon, but just need a quick set up.


    Thanks...!!!

  • Logic would tell me send and return as you want to boost volume more than front end gain...depending upon what you want to do..

    Thanks..!


    But I thought I heard (somewhere) that you "can't" just put a pedal to your Kemper, like you can with a standard amp.

    Regardless if it is before or after front amp :)

    I've seen something in a youtube video, but can't find it anymore.

  • Found it :)

  • The more you find out what the Kemper can do then the harder you try to find out what it cannot do. Like make a good cup of Frappuccino.

    You definitely can put a pedal in front or in the loop and I'm not sure where in that vid it says you can't ( Only scan watched it though).


    You do have to set it up.


    Go back to basics, what are you trying to do? I assume add boost/gain for solos? You can use a latching switch ( check the manual for the type) or any midi switcher. You could also use an expression pedal to morph volume, gain or pure boost settings.


    You can add a pedal but it has the same restrictions as a regular amp in that its boosting signal, not volume. It will work but not as well as using the effects in the KPA ( IMO).

    Where ever you heard that, they gave some bad info.

    I've been using the loop for my favorite dirt pedals for as long as I've had my KPA. I have several friends who also use outboard pedals.

    It not only works, but reacts just as you would expect any amp. Either in front of the input or in a loop....it works and works well.
