Use SPDIF. You don't lose quality from converting from Analog to Digital, and it's a cleaner sound. Only bad thing is, you're stuck at 44.1khz, but it's not a bad tradeoff IMHO. Hopefully the next gen Kemper can go higher.
IMHO 44.1 kHz is fine, the only problem is the Master sync only... No slave option 
Remove the Rubber - it is the reason the pedal does not have a precise "zero point".
Those rubber pads are common for wah pedals - they are not a good thing for volume/expression pedals. Some wah pedals also have a rubber pad at the toe position. If someone is converting one of those to an expression pedal, it sgould be removed, too.
If someone is interested: removing completely the rubber is not the best solution... cutting approx 1mm of rubber is better. No metal-against-metal noise and the zero position now is really precise 
Thank you ChristopheSeyler and paults!
Following your suggestion I removed the rubber at the heel position and I leaved the one at the toe position... now I think it's perfect! 
Thank you, I put the resistor as suggested
What about the second problem?
I'd like to calibrate my pedal and then "freeze" the calibration to avoid a wrong heel point... it's not a real problem with the volume or wha, but with whammy (and other effects like that) it can make a big difference because I can't return to zero precisely.
Am I doing something wrong? If not I'll open a feature request about it... or I'll cut the rubber under the pedal 
as explained ... i did the modification on my old crybaby, and it works like a charm. But i'm still waiting for the stomp foot push-button to replace the actual switch. As soon as i receive it, i will solder the wire a test it.
This solution is FAAAAR better than my FCB1010 pedal and my roland EV-5
For the push-button, i ordered this : http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/SP…ain_0&hash=item3ccb79f7dd
So, I modified an old cry baby and it's working!
I have two doubts, I hope that someone in this amazing forum can help me
1) I didn't put the 1KOhm resistor for now and it's working very good (smooth and precise)... why should I put the resistor... what problem can I have without it?
2) on the heel position the rubber is a bit elastic so, after calibrating the pedal pressing the init button, if I press more on the heel the KPA assumes the new value as zero and is not precise anymore. I think the pedal is continuously calibrating! Is there a way to ignore those values below zero (given by the rubber pressed) and fix the zero position where I want it?
Thank you in advance,
Carlo
I tried the other day to work with one expression pedal, I think I'll end up buying another.
Did you try one pedal with the switch and you find it uncomfortable?
I'm used to push to turn on the wah effect and push again to turn it off... As an old POD user I'm even used to use the same pedal for volume and other effects.
I think i'll be ok... I hope
with all due respect, I still don't know what is the benefit of using a push switch for the expression pedal, especially for the wah, having the kemper stop the fx for you in various solution (i.e. on stop, on toe, and so on).
just asking. no intention of criticizing
I think that with the push switch I can use only one pedal for volume and wha... Am I wrong?
as explained ... i did the modification on my old crybaby, and it works like a charm.
Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear
Does anybody tried and use this modified cry baby?
I can't find a good pedal with toe switch in my area and this looks a very good solution! Even if have to buy a used working wha... It still looks efficient and less expensive than other solutions:- )
Any cons?
No I don't, I have those in sync with some pre-programming. Not as effortless as the KPR' real time handling, but the end result is the same..
I don't know how difficult is to program it (is there a PC/Mac editor?), but overall I think that POD HD is a very smart choice as a controller... and it costs much less than the official remote+pedal!
I have pretty much done tweaking the HD500 as a controller to cover all my live set needs (cover band, sort of wide range of music). After reading the (somewhat incomplete) remote information I'm going to stick with HD500 for now. The things I miss from Remote are: fewer cables (1 vs. 2), multistomp on/off switching and maybe the tuner
I think you miss even the stomp status on/off, am I wrong?
Will the remote possibly fit inside the case with the Kemper?
I think so... maybe not too safe, but very compact!
There's a contact form.

I used it yesterday evening and got a reply this morning.
Thank you!
I'm worried about the delivery address: you have to type the house number in a separate box and it displays:
Some Street 555
instead of:
555 Some Street
which I'm sure will confuse US delivery people.
Display MoreI worked around this by typing in:
Box 1: 555 Some
Box 2: Street
Which in the end gave me: 555 Some Street
I know its a bit strange, but im sure Kemper will fix this.
You have the same address!!!
Carlo, if you subscribed to the early bird stuff, you should get a mail this week.
I received the email and it says March 2015... Already ordered and gave my credit card!
I hope to be one of the firsts and that they will start shipping at the beginning of march, otherwise I just waisted a lot of money and I will need to find a last minute solution for my tour
Is there an email of the sales department? I'd like to communicate with them...
the early bird registration is closed now. everybody who registered will be contacted shorty. "early birds" will receive special buying instructions.
hth, gs
Waiting for that special instructions, I'd like to know if the "early birds" will receive the Remote before April...
I'm from Italy and I have to go on tour in Canada in March. Traveling on planes with the FCB is very uncomfortable and that is the only reason I'll buy the profiler remote... even if I find it VERY expensive.
IMHO it looks like a POD HD500, without the expression pedal and without all the electronics of the POD... and it costs more!! :-))
Anyway, if the delivery time is after my tour there's no point for me to wait... I'll need to find other solutions.
Can someone please let us know?
Thank you.
Carlo
Don't get me wrong... I'm not complaining at all!
I just think that would be fairer to apply a discount (or give a download link) to customers that already bought the chip.
But it's only my opinion... I'm still waiting for the official footswitch that, I'm sure, will cost me more than 16 euros
QuoteNo, eproms are, in a way, hardware.
It's only 16.- Euro though and, as Xavier said, it is rather unlikely there will be any further updates necessary.
I have an EPROM programmer... I wish I can download the new code and program it by myself as I did with the UnO Firmware, but I didn't find any contact link to ask.
IMHO to pay for every new version (this is the fourth) the same amount of a new user it's not very fair...
I hope this is the last one, I'll wait few weeks to be sure
Is there an upgrade policy?
