Hi Robman,
Display MoreYou can Midi Change but according to this video I think you need a midi / USB convertor ;

'SIM1 can read Program-Change MIDI commands via the most popular MIDI-to-USB adapters, and to re-route program Changes as a midi-through feature.Through the Editor you can even configure your XT-1 as a Midi Master mini Pedalboard, to control other devices'.
So I'm assuming KPA midi out ( via convertor ) to Midi in on Sim1. I'll probably set up a performance per guitar type ( 3 or 4 guitar types max.a night will do me )
then for example , Telecaster Clean Neck : Stomp 1 , Tele Crunch Neck:Stomp 2 , Tele Lead Neck : Stomp 3, Tele Crunch Bridge : Stomp 4, Telecaster Lead Bridge : Stomp 5 etc...
Is there an easier way ?
Using the Kemper Remote to control the SIM1 XT-1 sounds like a way to avoid tapping the SIM1 XT-1 multiple times when changing pickups. There are still the mental gymnastics of keeping the pickup selector on the guitar in sync with the pedal.
It might be simpler just to add another midi controller or just tap dance on the SIM1 XT-1 though. What if you want to switch rigs?
For example:
Say you want to play five different rigs but with those, you might choose any one of three guitars with up to five different pickups.
You'd be okay if
- You stayed with one profile for a whole song, but switched pickups at various points in the song.
OR
- You stayed with one guitar and pickup for a whole song, but switched rigs at various points in the song
For studio work, I imagine you could reduce the number of variables for a song or passage.
I'm beginning to think this could be challenging for playing live if you frequently switch pickups while playing.
