  • What if my 2nd guitar has a higher output level?

    Thank you all for comments. It confirmed my suspicion that there is not a global ‘gain control’ parameter that I can use. I will try at first with the volume knob of my guitar and in case this affects the tone too much, I will make a 2nd set of the performances adjusted for my 2nd guitar. Thanks for all advice and enjoy the day.

  • What if my 2nd guitar has a higher output level?

    I have a set of presets and performances configured that sound great and I all use with a certain guitar. Now I want to try a change to another guitar, but this guitar has a higher output (not active). As a result some of my clean sounds start sounding a little distorted.
    Is there a way to cut down the higher input signal of my 2nd guitar without changing all setups / performances? I also do not want to put down the volume knob of my guitar, as I am afraid it will influence tone.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Question about using a roller knob to control monitor volume

    I want to use an on stage monitor with the Kemper and I want to be able to adjust the monitor volume with a roller knob, attached on the Remote. I think a roller knob is more precise than a volume pedal (and much smaller).


    I'm thinking about this one: http://this1smyne.com/shop/me-mini-expression-pedal/


    My question is: I can order this with 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k or 250k resistance. Which one should I choose?


    Or are there better alternatives?


    Thanks for the help!

  • Remote Display - Layout Option C (Performance Mode)

    The Remote controller now facilitates two display options.
    I would like to request a third option, because both current options are no good for me.


    Let me first explain how I use my Remote. I use performance mode.
    I think it is too much switching it have a single bank for each song.
    So my Bank 1 is called "Standard" and the 5 slots are filled with: Clean, Overdrive, Distortion, Heavy Dist and Solo.
    I also have similar banks for Supertramp sounds, Acoustic sounds, Police songs and so on.


    My problem is that I can not read the texts in the 5 slots (bottom line). I have heard complaints also from other people that these texts are pretty small to read standing up at a dark stage.


    My perfect perfect display would therefore be:


    Top Line: The name of the Bank (same as now)
    Bottom line: the 5 slots and their name
    Middle Line: The name of the slot that is selected (yes, big).


    If you can provide this as option C, this would be very useful. I think it is not that big of an enhancement to make.


    Thanks!! :)

  • Remote on dark stage - what do you do?

    Hi all,
    First of all, I love my Kemper. I really think it is a revolution in guitar world. I have the following question. During my last gig I found myself often on a very dark stage. I found that I had trouble using my Remote. Yes, there are a few bright leds shining down there, but I had trouble to see what is where.
    Is this something that you have experienced as well? How do you cope? I am thinking of using a small light, on the other hand that looks so silly.

  • Bert Meulendijk Profiles

    I bought and checked out the acoustic package. If you want to play your acoustic guitar, thuis is a must have. I spend a lot If time finding a good profile (free) before. The ones from Bert are great without any editing. And the Price is more than reasonable. So thank you Bert!

  • Can I change this back? (tap a rig twice to deselect stomp boxes)-SOLVED

    I am struggling with something I think has changed since the last update. I am wondering if I can change this.
    Lets say that in performance mode I am on performance 1 and I have four stomp boxes assigned to buttons I-II-III-IV. These stomp boxes are not active at the start when I select performance 1.
    What I really liked that in case I had switched on two stomp boxes (by clicking buttons I and II), I could get quickly to the start of the performance (with no stomp boxes selected) by just pushing button 1 again.


    When I try that now, the selected stomp boxes do not get deselected like before. I think that has changed since the last software release.


    Do you recognize this and do you know if I change this back to the old behavior?


    Thanks for your help,

  • In ear monitors IEM setup

    Hi Danides,
    I am not sure if I understand your issue right. I think this is simpel ? I myself have a small flight case including the Kemper and my IEM unit.
    The signal chain is as follows:
    Guitar > Kemper In (front)
    Kemper OUT >>> Central Mixing Board (mono)
    In the central mixing board I create a separate mix for my personal IEM, this sits on e.g. AUX 4
    AUX 4 from central mixing panel >>> IEM unit in my flight case
    And than the IEM wireless to my ears (no other monitor)
    I make my own mix for my IEM with the guitar as loud as I want.
    Why don't you do it this way?


    Best regards,
    Ed

  • What about my first profiles?

    Hi everybody,
    I just made my first two profiles and uploaded them to the rig exchange:
    - All Bluetick Clean >>> My Alessandro Bluetick amp, great for fender like clean tones, add overdrive by increasing guitar volume
    - Mario SM57 1 >>> A bass profile, based on Sansamp pre-amp, Ampeg amp


    I spend 15 minutes for both profiles and like them a lot. Please tell me what you think and how to improve.


    Thanks,

  • Kemper reset itself

    It happened exactly the same to me last week. When doing so, all the settings in the SYSTEM menu go back to default. So use a backup or write down your settings to get back to your start situation. All other settings didn't change. I have no clue why the system restore happened. The only thing that I am not sure about is if perhaps the power was shut down while the Kemper was in the shutdown phase itself?
