Display MoreI don't think you are missing anything.
It mentions this behaviour in the Profiling Manual. I believe this is the intended way the system work because Kemper assume that everyone will have the amp in another room.
Like you, I need to profile in the same room as my amp. The way I deal with it is to monitor on headphones when making initial comparisons. I use Shure IEM which provide a good level of isolation then wear a pair of building site over the ear defenders to further isolate from the amp in the room. It's far from perfect but does work well enough.
I think the option to mute the amp in comparisons would be a worthwhile addition though.
Alan, thanks for the reply. I was digging the manual and seems that the on/off button will exactly mute the reference amp. Did not had opportunity to try yet. Will let know.
