Yeah I find it very difficult to translate pedal range to dB.
But why go for absolute values? Why not use your ears?

That is what I will do ultimately - was just wondering what these values equated to.

Quote from Sharry

I have similar guess. But you will not find dB(u) even at the output. The numbers has no relations.
But anyway. As Ingolfs says - use your ears (or the input indication of your mixer).

BTW: My volume setting is pre effects, No sound will be changed.

My volume is post effects - this should have zero effect on sound/tone of rig as well - correct?

Manual says "The maximum boost, at the top position of “Volume Pedal Range”, is +24 dB." - so presumably at +5 the boost is 24 dB. So is the range linear with respect to dB? If so each "unit" on the range is 24/5 which is about 5 dB per unit (i.e. +/- 1 range is equal to +/- 5 dB, +/- 2 range is equal to +/- 10 dB etc). Somehow I suspect it isn't this simple. +/- 1 range does not seem to be a 5 dB boost/cut to my ears. Seems less. Maybe the range is logarithmic rather than linear with respect to dB.

Hi Guys!

I currently have a Pure Boost in the X slot that I engage for solos with ~ 3 dB boost - I find it is very transparent and this works very well.

I have a Mission EP1 that is a dedicated Volume pedal connected to my Remote. Lately I have had a notion to use this volume pedal for leads - I have it positioned post effects and then I set the range to taste - currently -1.5. So heel down is my rhythm level and toe down is my solo level. My question is can anyone tell me what # on the volume pedal range is equivalent to a 3 dB boost (or cut - depending on how you look at it)....is it -1? -1.5? -2? -3?

Thanks!

@krikke - the 2 kempers - is 1 a backup? Cool rig.

Atomic Amplifire

I am on 4.06 now as well. Wrong presets in performance mode has happened to me once on 4.06. Prior firmware it happened all the time. Going up then back down in performance bank rectified.

Quote from Ingolf

@jjborsa: what are you using the amplifire for? As a spare?

Correct sir - currently the Amplifire is always on the bus as a backup (have never had to use it emergently although I have used it electively for a few club shows) - anyway with the new rig it will just be attached to my pedal board - in the event of a catastrophe with the KPA it will take all of 10 seconds to switch to my Amplifire. Downside is it required a larger pedal board.

Quote from Monkey_Man

Hmm... much simpler and neater, IMHO, than your previous, Liquid Foot setup.

Don't you miss all those pretty colours?

Thanks. Looking forward to the new rig.

Liquid Foot was very powerful, hoping I don't regret changing to the remote.

I agree it is much neater than my prior rig - which I wired myself . I had the pros do this one for me.

Hey Guys,

Brad at Best-Tronics shot me some pix tonight of my new rig they are putting together.

6u shallow rack contains a KPA (non-powered), a Matrix GTX1000, a Furman, a POE for my remote and a custom interface on the back.

6u shallow rack will sit on my guitar cabs and Matrix out will go into cabs for stage sound. I will also have an XLR out from the KPA (I run mono) going up to my pedal board interface and from there on to my front stage CLR's. The other XLR out from KPA goes to FOH.

Ethercon and XLR run in a loom from rack to the pedal board below - along with a standard guitar cable in the loom which will bring signal from my pedal board mounted wireless to the rack. As stated above, XLR outs from pedal board will run to my 2 CLR front stage. Amplifire is purely a backup rig (although it sounds GREAT and I have used it for smaller bar gigs). I like the Peterson tuner and I had space on the board (plenty) so I stuck that on too.

Mission pedals are Volume (black) Morph (green) and Wah/Pitch (silver).

Power on pedal board is a Voodoo 4x4. Custom interface panel on pedal board for ins and outs.

Basically yes-you need to assign the pedal in the system menu of course and calibrate it.

Thank you sir! Answered!!!

Quote from djemass

I think it depends here of the reverb mix amount you have. Put the reverb mix for instance at zero and the light becomes very weak. Very useful to me

Thank you sir! Solved!!!!

Awesome!

Here is a new one from a recent show - MBritt profiles on board both of our Kempers for this one - jumpy video but I am impressed how the Kemper's sound on this iPhone recording - we just found this on the web have no idea who recorded it.....

Something weird I noticed - for my rig in performance slot 5, bank 1, the reverb light is less bright than the other lights (delay, x, d etc). For all other slots its brightness is the same as all of the other lights. Anyone know what this means?

Quote from hjscheffler

Only one pedal can be used to morph at the same time but you can use the same pedal with the Remote at one time and at the back of the Profiler at another time.

So for a big show I bring my full pedal board and morph from the exp mounted on the pedal board connected to remote....then for smaller show leave pedal board at home and just bring a single exp - plug into back of kpa and I can morph with that correct?

Hi,
I am now using a Remote and have 3 Expression pedals on my main board - one is dedicated volume, one is dedicated morph and one is wah/pitch. These are plugged into the remote on the board. For smaller shows I am contemplating leaving my full board at home and just bringing an expression pedal that I will plug into the back of the Kemper (as opposed to the remote) and have that output (1 or 2) be a morph as well - basically just play on one profile all night using morph with the expression pedal plugged directly into the back of the KPA. I ask this before I buy another mission pedal (and I am too lazy to dismantle my main board to test this).

Quote from sambrox

I got confirmation from Kemper that it is only an issue after startup. It is a glitch with the edit buffer. As long as you don't store the performance in question, you should be fine to go forth and back and it should solve itself. It should be fixed in the next beta, whenever that appears.

Great news. Thanks @sambrox!
