I want one! Is it a pain to pull out the Kemper if, say, you wanted to take it to a gig? Or would you just take the whole unit together?

Does the same weird sound happen on headphones plugged directly into the KPA? Maybe eliminating the interface is a good start.

Yep, happened a few times to me. After a reboot it was always fine.

i have had this message on a number of occasions but it has always fixed itself on subsequent tries.

Me too.

Love your profiles, my friend. What's your miking setup?

These are fantastic!

psgmilty I'm using the Kemper for steel too. What profiles are you liking on steel?

Agreed - I don't miss the tone of the Eleven Rack, but I did like the way it did latency-free reamping, and it integrated with Pro Tools so beautifully (both made by Avid, so there's a clue). It would even automatically remember all the settings you used on a particular track/clip, which made saving, transferring, naming and archiving patches a non-issue. The Kemper sound is worth the hassle, but it sure would be nice to have something like this in the future!

I've had something similar when I switched between bass and pedal steel onstage - the bass (according to bandmates) was too loud when it felt "right" in the IEMs. Later, I upgraded to better IEMs and realized the problem was a general lack of low end (and a poor seal) in the original IEMs. Being that IEMs have their own frequency response (like any system) and don't really let you hear the interaction with the room, you may need to do some trial-and-error adjusting.

I had this problem with another piece of gear. I used a drill with a small bit - I slowly and carefully drilled into the metal of the adaptor until it "bit," then pulled it out. YMMV, be careful if you try it. But it did work for me.

I'm definitely onboard for this...!

Make sure you have the input set correctly on the Kemper...sorry if that is obvious

I'd be interested in the setting as well ?

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a spy signal?

Not sure about the 108, but I have the 112 and it sounds great. It can even handle bass gigs with no problem. It's pretty lightweight for as big as it sounds!

Maybe you could order the 108 and return it if it doesn't meet your needs?

Hey all,

I was given a DeArmond 610 volume/tone pedal a while back, and it's in pretty rough shape, but it does operate. Here's what the pedal does:

The usual forward/backward axis controls volume, and the left/right swivel controls tone.

As luck would have it, I got a great deal on a fully operational 610 in good condition, so now I want to modify the "beater" 610 to function as a dual expression pedal for the Kemper. I'm thinking I could use the forward/backward axis for volume and the left/right axis for Morph.

I'll need to replace the TS jacks with TRS and wire each to its respective pot. I'm looking for advice about what value and taper pots to get. This pedal uses the tooth & gear treadle setup, like a Crybaby, not a string...so I believe the pots will never rotate fully. I'll have to make do with the range I get, which can of course then be calibrated in the Kemper.

Thanks!

Digging it!

I don't think this is possible with the Kemper currently because there's no way for the KPA to send the alien UFO test tones through an acoustic guitar. Is there any way to do a "refine" process without the tones?

Would love a feature like this! It would really expand the KPA's usefulness for acoustic/electric instruments.

Sweet!
