Hello all! Has anyone tried using another foot controller with the kemper foot switcher? Maybe daisy chaining one off the other? I have ran into the issue of wanting more effects then what is on the floor.
Using kemper remote in conjunction with another midi remote.

Have you tried connecting external switches to the Remote?

Generally, Remote and MIDI can be used in parallel.

Have you tried connecting external switches to the Remote?
I have not, that was kind of my question. Before I spend the money on getting a switch I wanted to know if that would work.

Additional Switches Required?
Switches can be connected to both the PROFILER and the PROFILER Remote. Switching functions can be assigned globally. These functions include Rig up/down, activating/deactivating effect modules, triggering Action & Freeze functions, engaging the Tuner Mode, tapping the tempo, or triggering Beat Scanner temporarily.
The PROFILER Remote and Stage have several built-in switches: Each of their four Effect Buttons can assume multiple switching functions that can be assigned and stored by Rig. In addition, the LOOPER, TAP, and TUNER buttons can be reassigned to other switching functions, globally. If you still feel the need for even more switches, you could connect single or dual switches to each of the four PEDAL inputs.
Connecting a PROFILER Switch
Connect the KEMPER PROFILER Switch using a TRS cable to one of the PEDAL inputs and select the “PROFILER Switch” mode on the corresponding "Pedal" page in “Pedal Settings” of your PROFILER Stage or “System Settings” of any other PROFILER variant. Assign your preferred switching functions to the A and B switches. Then press “Calibrate” and trigger each switch once. Release “Calibrate”. Done!
Single and Dual Switches of Other Brands
The PROFILER requires so-called “momentary” and “normally open” switches. Channel switches for tube amplifiers are not compatible with the PROFILER, as they use a latching mechanism that would only trigger their assigned switching function every other hit. Single switches are connected via a TS cable, and dual switches via a TRS cable.
Select “Mono Switch” or “Dual Switch” Mode on the corresponding "Pedal" page in Pedal Settings of PROFILER Stage or System Settings of all other PROFILER variants and assign a switching function with the soft knob labeled “Switch Tip”. If “Dual Switch” is selected, another switching function can be assigned with soft knob labeled “Switch Ring”. If your external switch allows to change its polarity (e.g. BOSS® FS-5 and FS-6), set it to normally open. The switching function should be triggered as soon as you hit the button. Wrong polarity implies, that the switching function gets triggered, when you release the button. Especially if you intend to control Looper Start and Looper Stop
with the external switch, wrong polarity can lead to odd results as both hitting and releasing the buttons have their meaning. Don’t forget to press “Calibrate” and trigger each switch once.
