Looking for clarification on Stomps I am not familiar with.

  • There are three stomps in the Kemper effects list I do not yet understand how to apply them. Shaper, Pitch Shifter (less Transpose and Pedal Pitch) , and Effect Loop.


    Shaper - I read in manual that Hendrix used an Octavia (Octa Shaper?) for Purple Haze but I thought is was a Fuzz pedal. It's that the way to apply the shaper - to get sort of a fuzzed distorted sound that's kind of choppy?


    Pitch Shifter - Any examples of the Chromatic and Harmonic pitch in use by a musician or genre?


    Effect Loop - Only experience I had with a loop is the effects loop in a tube amp. Does this implement another effects loop in the rig to add stomps that will behave as if the are loaded into the Effects block on the profiler?

  • Effect loop is for bringing outboard pedals into the chain. Just like a tube amp.

    So you use the send --- return on back of the kemper as a loop, but instead of using a switch (like in Input settings page) to engage it, you place the Effect Loop stomp module in X to engage it?

    Yep. Then that stomp/effect slot can be switched on or off like any other. You can place it anywhere.


    I run three dirt pedals in a loop. Late last year, I added a small, 3 loop midi switcher so I can select the one(s) I want. (this only works in performance mode).

  • I came across this vid of Frampton having a Pitch Shifter but I've never heard it used in any of his songs.
