I finally pulled the trigger and decided to buy a TC Electronics Mimiq pedal after hearing good things about it. I tried to connect it in the X effects slot using the stereo loop, and I was disappointed to say the least. I sounded like a weird/bad chorus. It didn't sound like the samples on Youtube at all. Then, I tried connecting it after the Kemper, using the 1/4" main out L/R, and connecting my FRFR speakers directly in the Mimiq's L/R output. WHOA! Now it came alive, it sounds SOOOO good. It really thickens the tone. The problem with this setup is two-fold though:
1 - I usually use balanced XLR hookups to the FOH when I'm not using my Kemper at home, and the Mimiq has unbalanced 1/4 outputs
2 - Even at home, I practice a lot using headphones (yeah, sometimes it sucks to have young kids ...). I then lose the ability to use the headphones output of the Kemper
My question is, how do you connect it in the loop? Here's what I tried:
Direct out (send) -> Mimiq Input 1 (marked mono)
Mimiq output L -> Kemper return
Mimiq output R -> Kemper alternate input
Then, I used the Loop Stereo effect in the X slot, but it results in the weird chorus. Am I missing something? I also notice that even my I turn the pedal off, turning ON/OFF the X slot results in a change in volume that seems to stabilize after a second. What's going on?
Thanks!
