Hi cap217

1) no KPA do not feed Phantom power so You need another device to use those kind of Mics.

2) You need a mixer

3) Use them like You normally use them in Your Signal chain, just remember to give back to KPA a Return Signal.

4) You can try with and without, then compare the results and choose what You prefer.

5) this actually depends how the Amp You're going to profile is made, what kind of Output it has.

Consider that KPA allow You to get a Profile only of the preamp of an amp, (usually called here DI Profiles) IF the amp has a dedicated output for that (i.e. the Send Output of the FxLoop in some models, or the so called D.I. Output in some other amps)

it depends by the amps itself, how the circuit has been designed.

And KPA also Allow You, Using some other external and Appropiate devices, to get the signal that comes out from the Speaker Output of Your Amp ( here called DA Profiles or, the first step for a Merged Profile)

butlike You said, if You're going to Use profiles through a mesa power amp and mesa cab you will have more faithfull results with a DI profile, not a DA ones.

+1

I don t rember the number but there s a CC to turn on/off at once all the Stomp section and another one for the Effect section. Maybe #16 and.. check the manual.

So You can save a group of fx ( pre or post Amp and Cab) and then turn them On or Off with one switch.

1. Adjust the left expression pedal (A) to the lowest value. Once adjusted press UP.

2. Adjust the left expression pedal (A) to the highest value. Once adjusted press UP.

3. Adjust the right expression pedal (B) to the lowest value. Once adjusted press UP.

4. Adjust the right expression pedal (B) to the highest value. Once adjusted press UP.

5. Select a patch which has both pedals set to their full range, and check the expression pedals now send 0-127 (0x00-0x7F)

do Not set them to the Lowest or Higer possible value or You may have the same problem again.

As I suggested ..reduce the pedal range a bit on Fbc, Dont worry, This will not reduce the pedals extension on KPA.

Hi mannoale and Welcome!

when I bring the pedal back to 0 it stays at 8/9

I had the same problem and I've solved in this way:

when you Calibrate the pedal A (orB) on FCB1010, Give it a minimum value of 9 or 10!

and if You please do the same on the other side:

I mean if the Full range of the paedal is from 0 to 127, give it the minimum value at 10 and the maximum value at 120.

(FCB use numbers and letters to define the pedal position but I think you got the message)

You are reducing the range But You'll not have any issue when the pedal is full on toe or full back on heel.

Then You can also check if Your KPA see the pedal's position in the right way at page 5/18 of the System Menu (long press of SYSTEM soft button to access the Sytem Menu then use the PAGE soft button to move)

yes exactly!

You can Lock them all and then save into every further Rig or You can Store them as a Group of Fx Preset and recall them all togheter at once.

To save a group of FX press long STOMPS soft button, (or EFFECTS one) then press STORE soft Button then give it a name..

You'll find all the groups You saved in this way, pressing long STOMPS soft button, (or EFFECTS one) and scrolling with the BROWSE Knob.

Unfortunately You will not find them Anywhere in Rig Manager

Where are my STOMPS and EFFECTS Presets?

and that's a pity.

Hey ST I've found a good and simple solution!

I've put a Volume Pedal Between the Direct Out of KPA and LoopFX Return of the 3210 and I keep it Closed just a little:

something like 75-80%

In this way I've found a Balance between the 2 different external Power Amps and I can regularly use KPA setted with Monitor Stereo option out

(so I have on both Left and Right Channels the Monitor Cab OFF and the EQ)

Cool!

..and Thanks For the time you've spent on this topic!

I've never seen a Cabinet with a Parallel Output honestly

Humm.. to test it I should have to modify the connection of two Cabinets but it's not a bad Idea!

I shoud have to replace this (only 1 Input)

with something like this (1 Input and 1 Output)

In my case I would have

8+8=16 Ohms on each channel of the 8008

yes, I have good memory: the Gain Input Pot on 3210 is a Push/Pull that enable or disable the Eq Section (9, 10,11) of the pre-amp

..but it works only if You engage the Boost channel, and to do this You have to Use the Footsitch (7) or the boost and the normal channels work in series,

(and this is not specified in the Manual)

In the end, unfotunatly, to use the Input of 3210 instead of the FxLoop Return it's not a good solution for my goal because, apart from EQ section, there are some others controls to affect and modify the signal in Input.

first of all the Gain knob its self, witch on boost channel is really sensitive, (adding distorsion and also background Noise)

than the Volume of the Boost channel (3),

than the Tone (4), and finally the Master Volume (13)

No, definetly not a good solution.

Right Now, I've found a compromise to compensate the difference of Volume between 3210 and 8008:

I use 3210 (the louder one) conected to the 2 Bottom Cabinets and the 8008 connected to the 2 on Top.

The wrong aspect is that my ping -pong effect in not Left/Right, it's Up/Down ! DOH!

Anyway, I guess the only Correct Solutions are:

- Sollazzon buy another 8008

- Kemper modify the OS to Let Sollazzon have the same actual controls of Monitor Out on Direct Out!

(Level, Cabinet Off Option and Indipendent EQ, No more need to Monitor Stereo Option)

The Second Solution is the Best one IMHO

Hi ST,

I feed the signal direct form Kpa Connecting to Direct Out Or Monitor Out. No need to split anything.

On 8008 I use the B (5) input witch is liked to both output channel when A input is not engaged.

I ve tried both settings and, as expected, I prefer to use the Linear mode and Not the Valvestate mode.

I can't say This last is bad or not musical.. it just sounds more rounded and less louder, softer generally speaking. It s usable for sure but I Prefer the Linear one

try also the amp factory pack.

Hi ST,

About the 8008 I connect like show figure A.

About the 3210.. good idea!

I have to try.

I remember it has is a push pull pot that completely bypass the EQ section. Usefull in this case.

Thanks for your help.

HI ST! thanks for Your reply.

I've already made many test but let's do it simple:

I'm not taking as example the 2 full stacks of 4x12 because they have differnt (selectable) impedence, differents speakers with different effiiceint values.

Let's take as example the 2 Stacks far form center.

Those cabs Have the Same Speakers and the Same total impedence (8 Ohm each) in fact they are 2x12; w/G12-75T

So I'm runnig each power amp with a pair of cab of 8 ohm: so any power amy has a total oad of 4 homs

- the 3210 100W splits the total output in parallel so I Agree:

Quote

100 watts into two cabinets 8-ohm cabinets connected in parallel are presenting only a 4-ohm impedance to the amp. Note: Marshall Mosfet 3210.pdf output is 100 watts into 4 ohms, and 80 watts into 8 ohms.

(that's why I consider 50W to each cabinet of 8 Ohm)

- the 8008 has two output at 4 Ohm of 80W for each of the 2 channels, or at laest this is what I've understoot,

in fact the manual says:

''The Connected cabinet Load sould not be less than 4 Ohms''

but in any case I would expect as You wrote at least:

Quote

The Marshall 8008.pdf document does not tell us if it is 80 watts into 8 ohms or 4 ohms. But if is like the Marshall Mosfet 3210.pdf then you get:

80 watts into 4 ohms

64 watts into 8 ohms

So I still do Not understand why the two cab connected to the 3210 are always Louder than the 2 connected to the 8008.

Said That..

Quote

I would just turn down Volume control on the 3210 so you get a better balance.

Unfortunaly this is not possible because the LoopFx Return of the 3210 goes straight into the Output Power section

.

There is no Pot on the 3210 to control the fx return level.

(Let's say it's always set and fixed to 10)

So I thought:

Ok, I dont' use the Fuction 'Monitor Stereo' on KPA and I'll set the Monitor Out as Master Left and the Direct Out as Master Right so I can adjust their two levels independntly.

It Works and I've found a good balance with the 8008 at -16db an the 3210 at -24db (so 8 db of difference)

BUT this can not be a good solution:

- Mostly because I don't have the 'Monitor Cab Off' function on the Direct Out line.

(and of course I can't disable the CAB section at all, because I need it on the Main Output!)

- secondly because I don't have EQ specific/indipendent for the Direct out

In theese days I'm trying different Power amp and I don't undestand one thing.

maybe someone coudl give me an answer.

I have theese cabinets and I was trying differnt combination for stereo live stage propose,

the head on the top right of the pictures is 100Watt Marshall Mosfet 3210.pdf

I use to connect the Monitor out of KPA into the return of its loop FX so I use it Only as Power amp..and it Works (better than the other 3 heads for sure.. IMHO)

so I connect 2 cabinet to its Speakers Out.

In this way I run 2 Cab but the signal is still Mono.

In order to have a Stero Setup,

I thought to connect the Direct Out of KPA (and switch ON the Monitor Stereo Function) to another external power amp, so I've recently got a Stereo 80W+80WattMarshall 8008.pdf

that have 2 separate output of 80Watt each to connect to antoher couple of Cabinets

in this way I can play 2 full Stack in stereo BUT the problem is this:

the 100Watt Head is Louder than the 80+80 rack power amp, and honestly I don't figure out why:

I guess that If use 2 cabinet connected to the 100Watt Head I could get Maximum 50Watt on Cab A + 50Watt on Cab B

so I've thought that the 80+80 Watt Would have to be Louder but it's not like this

Why ?

Quote from jorisdirks

To me it sounds like the real thing(s), but I might be wrong.

I've never had those amps and I'm not used to play Rigs created by mixing 2 completely different signal chian,.. said that.. the profile Doesn't sound bad at all.

just a bit too Loud for my tastes but ..it's a good sound! Thanks for sharing!

anyway there's a strange background noise, .. rithmic in some way.. you can listen if you turn back all the way down to 0 the Noise Gate intesity control and You turn the Master Output up.

I don't know how You got, it would be interesting to understand, that but it's not me (my studio)

it's only audible in that profile.

listen:

(of course it's not SO loud.. I've pumped it up so that You can listen more easyly

gonna try it tomorrow

1)* like said Adjust Master Volume (after you've already flag 'Headphones Links' in Output Volumes .. page 2/8 of Output Section Menu)

*2) probably You're referring to a visual effect due to Frame frequencies-- it's about how it's been captured that video.

IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN ACTIVATE ON KPA

to Avoid that 'light show' You see on some You tube videos, I guess You can choose between 4 different settings at page 'LCD / HW setup' menu

(page 1/18 of System Settings) but You will not see any rotaiting effect of leds in real life.
