I really like the acoustic sound, can you tell me which acoustic you are using?

Thanks

I don't think you need the red cable.
My Axe2 output 2 (L) goes to the front of the Kemper, perhaps the Kemper Alternative Input is the better choice?

I do it like this:

1- Guitar into the Axe2 front INSTR input

2- Axe2 output 1 (L&R unbalanced) into the Kemper return inputs
(not needed)

2- Axe2 output 2 (L) into the the front Kemper input

3- Kemper Main output (L&R) into the Axe2 FX Return (input 2)
(Kemper balanced XLR out, TRS Axe2 FX Return)

4- Axe2 output 1 (L&R Balanced) into the Duet (or whatever you have)

6- Turn up OUTPUT LEVELS 1&2 on the Axe2 (10 to 12 o'clock is good for me)

Additional info:

I/O Settings Axe2

Input Menu: Input 2 is set very low, I use 2.7%

Main Input Source- Analog (In 1)
Input 1 Left Select- FRONT
Input 1 Mode- LEFT
Input 2 Mode- STEREO
Output 1 Mode- STEREO
Output 2 Mode- L+R SUM

Try using the Wah Low Pass in the effects Mod place with these settings:

Manual- 7 through 8
Peak- 0 through 2
Mix- 100%
Everything else- Zero

This really helps at taking away that harshness you're hearing, it does for me anyway.

My plan is to get an Axe FX (for the effects and tweaking abilities it has) and put my KPA in the loop for the tones. Best of both worlds but I'm sure I'll be a list or two somewhere as a crack pot lol. Buy whatever you like gang just keep playing!

It works for me, wouldn't have it any other way!

If you're interested this is how I did it:

Axe2/Kemper
(Axe 2- 4CM Template/Preset # 382 or 383)

1- Guitar into the Axe2 front INSTR input

2- Axe2 output 2 (L) into the the front Kemper input

3- Kemper Main output (L&R) into the Axe2 FX Return (input 2)
(Kemper balanced XLR out, TRS Axe2 FX Return)

4- Axe2 output 1 (L&R Balanced) into the Duet

Additional info:

I/O Settings

Input Menu: Input 2 is set very low, I use 2.7%

Main Input Source- Analog (In 1)
Input 1 Left Select- FRONT
Input 1 Mode- LEFT

Output 2 Mode- L+R SUM

What about connecting the Axe to the interface via USB and connecting the KPA to the Axe's Loop?

This is the way I do it, don't know if it is the best way but it seems to work.

4/5 Cable Method Axe2/Kemper (Axe 2- 4CM Template/Preset # 382 or 383)

1- Guitar into the Axe2 front INSTR input

2- Axe2 output 1 (L&R unbalanced) into the Kemper return inputs

3- Axe2 output 2 (L) into the the front Kemper input

4- Kemper Main output (L&R) into the Axe2 FX Return (input 2)
(Kemper balanced XLR out, TRS Axe2 FX Return)

5- Axe2 output 1 (L&R Balanced) into the Duet (or whatever you have)

Additional info:

I/O Settings Axe2

Main Input Source- Analog (In 1)
Input 1 Left Select- FRONT
Input 1 Mode- STEREO
Input 2 Mode- STEREO
Output 1 Mode- STEREO
Output 2 Mode- L+R SUM

The Axe2 USB is connected to my macbook.

I really wanted to prefer one over the other, unfortunately for my wallet they sound better together than they do as separate units. IMHO of course!

A dedicated hi pass and low pass filter would be great.
It is vital for hi-gain sounds.

It could be added to the cab block like the AxeFx II does.
This way it frees up X and MOD slots.

This would be really great, I just started using the WLPF after the cab.
It works well in controlling the high end the way I like it, having it in the Cabinet section would be really cool!
