Hi,
My band wants to look at adding samples at starts of a few songs & obv we'd love that live.
Is there any easy way (ideally via a pedal) that this can be done by me as guitarist?
Cheers 👍👍

You could use a Looper pedal that allows storing of loops in multiple banks as a Sample player. For example, a Boss RC-500.
If I was going to do that for playing samples, I would send it directly to the FOH/Monitors. I wouldn't route it through the Auxiliary Inputs of the Profiler.
I have the Ditto X2 Lopper so I can do stuff like that in stereo. You can even play a backing track out of it (and in stereo).
I would use an iPad or even Phone with the samples loaded in something like GarageBand and trigger them from that.
Thanks 👍
How do you connect the looper? Before amp or in fx loop?

I've been round this one and landed on using a jamman running through the alternate input/effects loop. Mainly because I found a phone does not have enough volume/gain but the Jamman was way better.
I've permanently mounted in my rack so I can manually trigger song intro's
Thanks,
Is that the full size jam man or the small solo one?
How easy is it to upload 3 or 4 samples & then with no fuss trigger them at start of each song?
To be honest, I would have the drummer take care of this.
If money isn't an issue, I would go for a Roland SPD-SX.
If you're on a budget, there's other cheaper options but make sure it does what you want it to do.

I looked at this but couldn;t find anything under £400 but agree its better.

Solo. Loading samples is very easy. Triggering can only be done by the jamman directly as it has no midi control. So for me, I select the sample number (there is a scroll up and down) and then hit the pedal.
Its a little faffy for me because I've located it at the back of my rack so I have to lean over my rack, scroll to right sample and hit the pedal but it was the most effective ease wise because:
1) It plays through your guitar channel so no additional messing with di boxes and additional inputs, especially good for festivals for quick set up
2) Relatively cheap - I bought one secondhand for £70
3) easy to connect up - mine is permanently wired in my rack so no plugging in of leads or additional power requirements
BTW I bought the extension pedal assuming it would cover the scrolling but it doesn't...
I looked at this but couldn;t find anything under £400 but agree its better.
Just as an example:

Ahh, now I looked previously but never found anything like this....its a good option.
I promise I did look!

£400 is a bargain for a good drummer. Those buggers are hard to come by 😜
For backing tracks I use SD cards or usb sticks. My Korg Krome, Nux Looper and Korg KR55 drum machine all use SD cards and the GR55 and X32 mixer use USB sticks. None of those run thru my Kemper Stage.
Thanks 👍

The looper should be last in the chain. A stereo looper can be easily connected to the Kemper left and right main outs. If you have a prerecorded track on it then you can put the Kemper tuner on to mute the guitar signal and still have the looper outputting the track. on the mains. Then click on guitar any time you want during or after that track.

Curious as to why you would do it this way. If you just use it as an aux in same thing applies but you don't have to assign it anywhere in the chain...unless I'm missing something?

I'm talking about hooking up a physical stereo looper pedal.

Yeah thats what I use ( albiet it might be mono). I link the Jamman in as an aux input. Probably does the same thing but saves a slot..

On my Ditto X2, you have a USB port to preinstall backing tracks. No Aux.
Samples are usually the drummers domain which makes sense given they set time and count in songs live etc. Why would you want samples to be brought in by the guitarist instead?
