Hi!
Is newer profiles ( i.e profiled with newer Kemper OS ) better ( more balanced, genuine etc ), than old legacy profiles?
What You think?

Kind of crazy to send a signal into a device and expect that it'll remain the same when it comes out the other side. Especially when the said device is intended to colour your sound. While it might apply in a situation where you wanted to test a stompbox, it has little relevance, if any, to a device like the Kemper, which is likely to remain "on" in all possible situations other than tests like this
Yes, none of the electronic device is 100% transparent. But Kemper is a digital device and the important "colouring" will be done in the digital domain. As less colouring in the analog domain and during the ADA conversion, at least in a bad way, then the better.
I hope that was understandable - the English is not my strongest side
About usefulness such a test - I think it's good to know, how neutral is the electronic path of the KPA. To use KPA like a FX-device only, for example. We all want, that our cherished guitar sound is as pure as possible, Is not that true?
m the dir
You mention with stomps, stack and effects off. You took a signal from the direct out, right? The direct out isn't affected by the KPA's processing at all, so it wouldn't matter if they were on or off!
Cheers,

The "blue" signal is recorded from the "MAIN OUTPUT" of the Kemper, because i was interested, how "colorful" is electronic circuit and AD-DA converters of the Kemper. That was target of my test.
I doubt that a quarter of a dB @30 Hz and the added content at 18 kHz is what we're hearing here
Well, it's actually more, than a quarter of a dB @30 Hz. You must multiply it with 10. However, it is clear that we did not need that sub-bass anyway
i did a test - two identical signals, analyzed with Har-Bal

Blue line - signal through the Kemper ( stomps, stack, effects - all off, just a pure AD-DA conversion )
Yellow line - signal straight to the soundcard
As you see, digital conversion of the Kemper cuts lows and adds very high frequencies.
Is this a problem and audible colouring? Tell you!
Yes, protecting the knobs was my target. Original metal body and rubber feet have now been removed. And finally, lunchbox is fixed with two screws ( using the screws of the leather strap )
small but ravenous!

Where? What version?
[Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56732024/Kemper%20manual.jpg]
Page 22 from the Reference Manual 1.5. Things have changed, i know ...
EDIT. In current version of the manual I can see the same list of the STOMPS. A bit misleading.
that can be placed BEFORE the amp surely more useful than a vinyl stop ??
Thats right, considering, that in Kemper user manual ( i.e "on paper" ) we already have the STOMP-delay
Still waiting the simple mono delay stomp ...
Hmm ... if I understand correctly, It is impossible to assign commands "STOMPS on/off" and "DELAY on/off" to the one pedal input, because these commands require mono plugs. But, yes, one "stereo" footswitch with two mono jacks may be suitable. I will try it.
I'd like to possibility simultaneously ( i.e with one step ) switch stomps and delay ON/OFF, but I do not like idea of the changing rig for this. Whether it is permissible connecting only one mono footswitch ( with Y-cable ) simultaneously to switch/pedal 1 and 2 jack sockets?
Can I ask where you got or how you made the brackets for it? Right now I have mine in my rack with the Styrofoam and packing materials it came with keeping it in place.
Thanks,
J
From the local shop of construction materials. A bit of sawing and drilling ... and 2 EUR
And I like the fact that the body of the Kemper itself remained unchanged, even the original screws was used
PS. Sorry, English is not my strongest side ...

Yes, 19" is wider than necessary, but this rack is not so deep however - only 23 cm, and lightweight plastic too. And the most important - knobs etc. are safely protected during my gigs
I did a test and this is working indeed very nicely for the changing between neighbor-rigs!
And I have latching-type switch - one push, and rig changes momentarily. Push again, and I have the previous rig again! That's my need!
Hello!
I like the idea of the simple "one-button" footswitch for switching rigs up/down ( i.e between rhythm and solo ).
What do you think, whether such a scheme would work?
