No, it just means that you shouldn't lock the pedal as a volume. That might what you do differently than the other people. How can it function as a wah if you have it locked as a volume?
Either way, try it first and see if it helps.

No. I don't think you should. If you have set up the pedal as a volume in the system menu, and checked the volume to wah it will function as a wah when wah is present. If not, it's a volume pedal. Think of the pedal setting as a global setting, not rig based. Whatever you do in rigs doesn't affect the pedal setting per se...
Display MoreOk, great, I will check this (after work...).
But wah works, as soon as I switch the pedal function to wah (in system menu). Does that mean anything?
Of course it does not work, if I switch pedal function to volume... Which makes sense to me.
What dies not make sense to me, is that volume does not work, as soon as I switch function to wah and tick wah to volume active.
In another thread I found, that the swithcing in one rig does not work, as soon as my volume setting is above zero. I lowered this requirement, and do not want to switch in one rig, but now I made an extra rig with only wah.
Still, it does not work.
Has nobody else, the volume pedal setting above zero? How are you using it?
maybe try to unlock volume? maybe that is what is the problem is... I dunno, I have never used volume to wah.
Even if the LED light is on on the stomp, light not mean that it is active. Press and hold the wah stomp until you reach the settings, and check if the expression pedal settings are correct. It should be either "on" or "bypass@stop/heel/toe".
Have you made sure that the wah stomp settings are OK? Bypass@stop? On? Or off?
GoddamnRMEandtotalmixscrewingupmyreampfun!
either way, problem solved. Never trust the totalmix snapshots and internal routing.
I found what the pulsing was. It was the expression pedal going haywire. The calibrate-thingy was pulsing back and forth, same rate as the blinking light on the system button.
This is weird! I'm rolling back to the previous OS to see if that helps...
Didn't help...
I really don't get it...!
What's weird is that it's pulsing, and it's changing pitch when I toggle back and forth...
I had nothing going through the kemper when I recorded that. Just set the input to SPDIF reamp and recorded the noise. Nothing went TO the Kemper.
Unless the Kemper makes an internal loop, I have no idea why it makes that noise...
Hi,
I suddenly get weird wailing noise through SPDIF reamp. It doesn't matter if I switch amps or not, the sound just changes pitch. Nothing really helps. I don't even have to send something through the Kemper to get the noise. Just switch input source to SPDIF input reamp, and of it goes. Anyone have any ideas?
I've added a soundclip. The stops is me toggling the inout source knob from SPDIF reamp input to front input and then back again. No sound going through the Kemper. It generates the noise on it's own. Not changes any settings. and everything else functions like I'm used to. I'm at a loss here. Any ideas?
I run the newest OS BTW.
I think of the gain knob as a preamp gain knob. And that would be the same for every amp.
So if someone wanted power amp distortion or more sag, the gain knob isn't the right knob to tweak. Definition and tube shape might be.
Internal for me
QuoteWhat I'm hearing and feeling are similar gain structures across amps that shouldn't be similar at all, especially as you alter the parameters in the profile away from the captured settings.
what I'm reading: "when I increase the gain on the Marshall rig, it sounds just as distorted when I do the same thing to the Mesa rig. Isn't that WEIRD anyone?! It must be the SAME gain structure, huh?! I mean, the gain sounds gainy!"
cool,
might need more than just two recordings, though, because of the fine tune knob.
Yeah. I will do one with knob all the way down, one with knob mid-way and one with knob fully up.
I also have a friend that owns the Kirk Hammett wah. He lives quite a long way from me, but I might be able to swing that one as well, sometime in the future...
Great work guys. Tried these settings out today and they are spot on. Any chance someone has the Dunlop Cantrell Wah settings?
I think I can borrow one. I'll do the white noise part and send to Don.
JH-1 - revisited with the info from the manual
- Manual: 3.1
- Peak: 7.9
- Pedal range: +29%
- Peak Range: -28%
- Mix: 84%
Did you revisit your preset? That is close to my settings done by ear... Probably closer to the pedal too.
Oh yeah, thanks for the original settings Don. I think the biggest difference between your settings and my tweaks when I A/B-ed were the manual setting and the range. The dunlop also cut the volume. That was really noticable with the heel down. It's sounds louder toe down. Not linear volume wise at all.
What I like with the Kemper wah instead of the JH-1 is that it's smoother sweep. The Dunlop is more on/off when sweeping the pedal.
I probably snafued the white noise part. Either way it sounds great! Now I wanna try try to get my hands on some other wahs to try out.
I sent the white noise through my Dunlop JH-1 wah. The result? Pretty close to my ears (a slight tweak to the Q might be enough for perfection), either way it´s so close that my pedal is now out for sale.
Thank you Don for all your help! If anyone wanna try the preset the settings are:
Manual: 2.9
Peak: 7.9
Pedal range: +24%
Peak Range: -31%
Mix: 90%
Volume: -1.8
