+1 for this. The editor is great in lots of ways but there are some things that are still much easier on the KPA itself. This is definitely one of those things.

All I was trying to say is that you can already treat the direct mix if you think slightly outside the box. Rather than adding direct signal via Direct Mix in the amp block. If you leave it off by activate Parallel Path in the Rig Menu, you can mix in the direct sound along with 2 separate effects. This could be EQ and Compression. Or EQ and Chorus etc etc. Would that not achieve the same thing (and potentially far more0 as adding a dedicated EQ etc into the Amp Block?

i definitely see the benefits of having individual cuts for Main Out and Monitor Out. However, once you reach the stage of having them at the rig level you are really just adding complexity that is already covered by the EQ effects.

have you tried running a clean signal with compression and EQ in the Parallel Path rather than using Direct Mix?

I initially didn’t realise that the Output Menu editor pane in RM was so big that you need to scroll down to see all the functions.

i think Paul nailed it. When you make a profile yourself (or I make one myself) You make it to sound like your amp the way you want to hear it when playing. When a professional profiler makes a profile

A) they might not have the same idea of a great sound to you

B) they try and make a sound that will sit well in a mix with other instruments rather than simply be pleasing to player themselves.

I know that when I make profiles of my Boogies they are pretty much indistinguishable from the real amp in the room. I love how they sound. However, that doesn’t necessarily make them great profiles for anyone else to use.

that doesn’t sound right. There is a separate hi/low cut for the monitor out. looks like that might just be a bug.

thanks

how did you set up to measure with REW? I have ised it for tuning my room but never thought about measuring amps etc with it.

i think it would need to be something different to initiate lock as long pressing the I - IIII fs toggles the status between latching and momentary already.

the problem for the editor is that Kemper got the physical interface so right the first time round that it was just so simple and intuitive to use it makes it hard for the editor to compete 😁

I agree. I also find it irritating that dragging and dropping always puts the item at the very bottom of the list. It would be nice to at least be able to drop where I have the cursor when I release the mouse. I.E. create preset between two existing presets which happen to be visible at the time rather than have to scroll to the bottom of the list or use the search field (assuming you know the name) to find it again.

you “copy” by dragging the effect from the editor pane to the presets folder. You paste by drgging from the presets pane to the new rig.

Given I'm in an 80's hair metal band, I'm going to check those out!!!

Guy, what are you doing in a hair metal band. Judging by your profile pic you are nearly as follicley challenged as me 😂🤘🤘🤘

sorry to hear that. I hope you find the right solution for you.

out of curiosity, what was it about the Kemper that wasn’t for you?

that’s a fair point 👍

yes I do that regularly but that isn’t the limitation. There are only 2 Stomp FX slots available in the parallel path. One of these is being used for the Loop return as the piezo input. The other is available for another effect. I could attach multiple FX to a single button on the remote and turn them all on and off together with a single click but only the FX in Stomp B would be in the signal path for the piezo. I probably haven’t explained that very well even now 😂

basically, there is a difference between passing signal through an effect Vs switching the on off state of an effect via the remote.

hope everything works out for you soon Jeff.

i’m sure you’ll get there eventually just stick with it.

that’s a very good point that Sam is making. I remember thinking that there was a significant delay but I wasn’t hearing it so I couldn’t work out what was going on. It turned out that I was looking at the remote when changing rigs and the screen wasn’t updating immediately even though the sound was. Psychologically I assumed there was a delay because my eyes trump my ears in terms of credibility.
