In a previous rig I had an option to change the key of my harmonizer by using an expression pedal. This allowed quick and easy changing between keys when using the effect to properly simulate a second guitar, without the gap heard when using the alternate option of setting up three different harmonizer pedals. Now that I have transitioned to the Kemper, I can no longer find a way to set this up.

This same setup is seen in action in the video below: The player is using an expression pedal to switch between the three harmonized keys in the song. Toe = Bm -3rd, Middle = AM -3rd, Heel = GM -3rd.

Is there a way to set this up with a mission expression pedal and Kemper Profiler?

As you know you can link the master volume to easily control output volumes. The master is a linear control while the linked output volumes have acceleration and increase in sensitivity as they are move away from max. (ie. a 1mm turn will move the volume by 0.1db when near max, but the same movement will change it near 20db when near minimum)

This is fine when 0db is your maximum volume used. However my headphones play at a comfortable level when set between -70 and -60 dB. That's just too difficult to control when it comes to being that low. I might want to change to -64 because it is too loud at -60 but it will jump straight to -80 or off at that point. And will jump up well past hurting my ears if I try to turn it up from -70.

I don't like the sensitivity acceleration, and I want to know if you can set the same level of control to values other than -0db.

I found out you can restrict the level to not pass above -60 dB when turning the master, which helps the deafening jumps issue, but the sensitivity issue remains. Decreasing it slightly to -65 is near impossible.

Is there a way to do this?

8s will have more bass, good for electronic music and beats, for guitar purposes you probably dont need it.

Yeah I figured the 7's would do if I couldn't get the 8's. Would rather get it right first time.

Why does everyone say to get two though? As far as I'm aware the kemper and studio monitors are used to emulate a guitar amp and cab combo. But if most guitar cabs are mono with only one speaker, why do people get two speakers?

Out of interest can you set different cabinet sounds to studio monitors like you can with the Kemper Kabinet?

I ended up getting a powered Kemper at a really good deal just incase I ever needed it and I'm now looking for studio monitors to use with it (just playing not mixing). I have heard really good things about the Yamaha hs 7 & 8's.

• Is there a big difference between the 7 & 8?

• Do I need two stereo monitors or will one do?

• Do I need to get active monitors or are there better options for someone with the powered kemper version?
