Not real bypass?

  • Hi
    I own a Kemper since a year but I also own a TC G-major2 and a Eventide Eclipse.
    If I connect my Godin LGX with piezo pic-up directly (actually first thru my BBE acoustic) to the Eventide and then out from Eventide to my EV SX100 active speakers I get a fantastic acoustic sound.
    Brilliant and crisp sound.


    If I first connect the guitar to the Kemper, and out from Kemper to Eventide I lose the brilliant sound.
    That is even if I disable the STOMPS, the STACK and the EFFECTS.
    I thought that should be the same as total Bypass but it seems not.


    Anyone having the same experience and how to solve it?
    Or am I doing something totally wrong?


    No I have to use a amp in the STACK to get similar sound.

  • If you use the direct out to connect the Kemper to the eventide you will get back your sound and have no need to bypass anything on the Kemper.

  • But by using direct out I can not use any effect from the Kemper if I would like to.
    I also want to use the SPDIF from Kemper to Eventide.
    What is 'eating' the sound even though I disable STOMP, STACK and EFFECT?
    How come the tone is effected and not bypassed?

  • Check the Input and Output settings, I plug my Ovation in to the Kemper only (no outboard gear) and is all well. But I have to change the input settings.
