Stumbled across this video on Youtube. Pretty thorough comparison of old and liquid profiling results. This suggests that one liquid profile of an amp will not be quite as good as taking several liquid profiles at different amp gain settings.

Live festival recording, with MBrit AC15 + vintage chorus & delay in the main part and Bert's BE100 for the solo.

Could we please have the option of linking two stomps/effects to a single remote stomp switch with the sequential switching sequence of All off ->A on (b off) -> B on ( A off) -> All off. I would find that very useful. Thanks.

Additional note:

An example of how I would use this to have No chorus -> Light chorus -> Heavy chorus on a single switch. So ideally this Off-A-B switching option on the remote would also enable a second A-B morph option for a single effect that is assigned twice to a single switch. I am already using morph on all my rigs to change from rhythm to lead.

would be nice if you could (say) press a rig switch once to get the saved rig setup and 3 times within 1 sec to get the last used setup with stomps/fx as you last left them. 2 presses remaining as morphed.

+1 for this useful upgrade.

That's a fab live tone, did you go direct to the PA?

Brilliant singer too

thanks. We run a silent stage with E-drums and both guitars direct to the p.a. via kemper & sans amp. Makes set up so much easier, and gives a great live sound. Also very handy for getting good live recordings!

Clip from Saturday's gig with Twist of Rock of AC/DC Highway to Hell. I used a profile from Bert's Friedman BE100 pack.

Would it be possible to have the option per rig to trigger morph/unmorph by doing something unique at the guitar? For example, switching from bridge to neck pickup and back within 1 sec, where the kemper detects a rapid tone change and back again. This would allow a wireless roaming guitarist to morph to a lead tone without returning to the remote.

Anyone managed to set up a wireless system to allow morphing from a button on the guitar? I'm moving to a wireless guitar connection so just wondered if I could avoid returning to the remote each time I want to morph to my lead settings.

global transpose in the input section with operation from the remote would be a big help. Also an update to the transpose coding to improve it for clean rigs.

I'm finding the rig transpose function very useful, but find that for clean and edge of breakup rigs the transposed tone is rather dull and has an odd tremelo effect added. I'm tuning down max 3 semitones. Tweaking the EQ of the rig only partially solves the dull sound. It still has a lo-fi feel. Adding chorus masks the tremelo effect a little. I've tried using the alternative pitch shift stomps, but the result is seems the same. Anyone have any recommendations?

Keeping my wish list to just those things that would help me most with live work :

- Global transpose on the input section, operated from the remote/stage when in tuning mode

- Global morph volume increase in the output section. Like a lot of people I use morph exclusively for lead boosts and the amount of boost needed varies with the band I'm playing in. 3 piece = 3 db, 4 piece or more = 5 db. So a single setting to change the morph boost on all my rigs would be extremely useful.

- Add the option to set the stomp switches on the remote to Off/A/B sequence. So for example we could have 2 types of delay (A & B) set to a single switch and have them both off, or just A or just B. So you would toggle Off -> A -> B -> Off etc . This would greatly increase the usefulness of the 4 stomp switches.

Bump for this in the hope that it will get some love and attention.

Here's a previous thread on this subject with a proposal for how this would work.

Global transpose with operation by remote

We recorded a recent gig with a decent variety of guitar tones required, which come from a single performance and my trusty Ibanez AZ. Youtube playlist below.

https://youtube.com/playlist?l…keeYGDuA-I2_0O755lfmTnO0T

I'm using a rack with remote & expression pedal to morph each rig to a lead volume with extra delay & gain. Straight into the pa with in ears for monitoring.

Rig 1 = Acoustic sim from the rig exchange (see black velvet and the middle section in Hit me baby one more time)

Rig 2 = Clean tone. Vox AC15 from MBritt pack 2. ( See Moves like Jagger)

Rig 3 = Mild break up. Vox AC15 from Mbritt pack 2. ( See Footloose & Alright now on bridge pickup & Black Velvet on neck pickup)

Rig 4 = Modern low gain. Friedman BE100 from BM profiles. G4. ( see Simply the Best)

Rig 5 = Modern high gain. Fiedman BE100 from BM profiles. G10. ( See Sweet Child & Livin on a Prayer)

Enjoy!

Could we please have a global transpose function in the input section, same as we now have in the rig section, with the ability to control the global transpose setting from the remote. To operate using the remote you would click the tuning button then use the rig up/down buttons to shift up/down in semi-tones whilst in tuning mode.

I know thus has been asked for before and that there are workarounds using a locked stomp for all rigs and also creating extra copy performances with the rig transpose setting adjusted. But neither of those solutions are very neat.

I work live with quite a few singers and frequently need to drop to Eb or D on the fly and without fiddling with the Kemper, which is in a rack at the back of the stage. So the ability to globally transpose all rigs & performances from the remote would be a big help.

It would be great if the remote could remember the stomps & effects that were on for each rig when a different rig is selected, and then give you the option of going back to the 'saved' rig settings or the 'last used' rig settings when selecting that rig again. For example, I am using a clean rig for the verse with chorus & tremolo turned on (by pressing the stomp switches) and then switch to a different rig for the chorus. When I want to switch back to the clean rig for the next verse it would be helpful to have the option to automatically select the clean rig in a 'last used' state to avoid having to select the rig then press the stomp buttons again to switch on the chorus and tremolo.

This could be done as follows, when selecting a rig :

Press once for rig saved unmorphed settings

Press twice for rig saved morphed settings

Press three times within 2 seconds for rig last used unmorphed state

Press four times within 2 seconds for rig last used morphed settings

Open to any other method to achieve the same thing.

I would find it useful to have a pre/post amp block setting for all 4 of the stomps, similar in operation to the pre/post toggle we already have for the amp EQ (plus there would need to be an additional toggle option for where in the post amp chain the stomp is placed) This would enable a greater selection of post amp stereo effects to be used for each rig.

+1 for this request.

Oddly the behaviour you are asking for is how it works when you switch rigs in a performance using the left/right buttons on the kemper itself. It remembers which stomps/effects were on before. Confusing.

This behaviour should be an option when using the remote as well.

Quote from Wheresthedug

I like the idea in theory but not sure how it would work in practice. I don’t know how the switch would interpret the various logic states. Lets say I have two effects 1 and 2. This gives the following potential combinations:

1 -Both Off,

2- 1 On/2 Off,

3 - 2 On /1 Off,

4 - Both On

I can currently click the switch and alternate between 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4 or 2 and 3. However, I have to decide in advance which action I want the pedal to perform.

In order to have more options you would need multiple clicks to cycle through the options. However, this would lose the option to go directly to say the 2nd or 3rd sound in the cycle.

Your specific request seems to be for a “cycle mode” with only a subset of the possible options. In my list this would be 1, 2 and 3 with no need for 4. What if some users want the full range of combinations? Do you have a 3 push cycle or a 4 push cycle? Do you give users the option to select the number of steps in the cycle? This could get pretty messy quite quickly.

I think of a few ways your specific request can be achieved already but will need the use of morphing or two foot switches.

You could assign a footswitch to toggle between 2 and 3 (i.e. one effect is always on). Then use morphing on both FX to move the mix from 0 (effectively turning effect off) and desired level. This way you could turn the active effect on or off at will with the morph button and could preselect which effect will be activated when morphed using the FX button. However, you wouldn’t have the ability to turn both on simultaneously.

If you need the ability to have 1, 2 OR 3, and 4. You would apply similar logic but use the Fx button to toggle between states 2 and 4 or 3 and 4.

A two button approach would be to use two FX buttons next to each other with FX ON/Off assigned to each of them then use your foot to push either button or straddle both and activate them both together.

Abother solution which is not currently available but would be a nice “improvement “ would be to remove the exclusivity between Fx and switches. At the moment multiple FX can be attached to the same switch but you can’t assign one FX to multiple switches. If you could assign the same Fx to multiple switches you could create something similar to the “scenes mode” that users who migrated from Helix or AxeFX often ask for. However, I can imagine would also create some potential logic conflicts.

Another option which several of us have asked for many times is to add multiple “morph” groups. This could allow you to use morphing to achieve the “effective” switching with the mix parameter being morphed while still having the ability to use another morph group for something like a volume boost.

Thanks for the detailed response. The Kemper is a great tool and there are always good workarounds to any problem. I play live mainly and like to keep it simple, so I use one performance to handle for everything from acoustic ballad to high gain rock, and with the kemper that works really well. But it does mean I try to get a lot of out of each profile and need to get max use from each stomp switch. I currently use multiple stomp switches for different delays and it would be useful to put two delay options on 1 switch. What is stopping me from doing that is the inability to switch them both off. I would be happy to have to single click or double click to select a particular delay, and also to switch them both off.
