As has been said, a ground loop is a likely culprit.

Power conditioners have their place, but I’ve never had one eliminate hum when added.

Does your church use fluorescent lights? If so - that’s likely contributing, if it isn’t the outright cause. Fluorescent bulbs emit what is called 60 cycle hum. It can either be transmitted through the power circuit, or more commonly it’s coming through your pickups.

Lots of good tips here. Lights can always be an issue. THe most critical issues I have endures were induction loops. But that would affect all guitars / basses on that specific venue.

TomR I think you are referring to an induction loop.

The other option could just be a groundloop. Are you connecting to the mixer AND something else simultaneously when at church but not doing so at home? Try flipping the ground buttons on any output in use.

Ah, yes. Thanks.

Are you the online ohne Witz this issue? In Some places they have a system for people with a hearing disorder (sorry, I don't know the correct Name). Such systems can cause such issues.

Welcome Marcello.

Hello and Welcome. Your wife seems to really like you. All the best to (both of) you and have fun with your Kemper!

Welcome!

No issues here.

So you are using 9db of pre amp gain on the SQ5 for the Kemper?

Yes. correct.

Cabinet was off. With the Cabinet on I get WAY BETTER tone. It was lifeless and brittle before.

Seems like now you can start your rehersal...

I was wondering about this. How do I turn the cabinet on? Can I make adjustments to the cabinet once I have it on and how would I do this? Sorry, total noob in a tight spot right now. Appreciate your help.

Is the cabiet LED glowing? If not: Cab module is deactivated. Since I don't know if you did a lot of tweaking to your sound you might want to check with a standard Kemper rig if there may be an issue.

Are you saying Kemper at 9db output or you have the gain on the SQ5 input at 9db?

These are the settings of the sq-5. Kemper is -12 dB ticked and something about -18 dB level (as far as I remember). The output of the Kemper is quite hot...

I have no Kemper Kabinet so I cannot speak about that. But if it souns like "cabless" on the main out: Is the cab Module active and is there a cabinet selected?

No pad active and input @ 9 db. Kemper output level???

So what exactly is the issue with your sound?

Is the signal clipping the input of the sq-5? I have the -12 db checked. No issues with my Rack into SQ-5 (actually going stereo).

Welcome
