Hi,

Is it possible to connect a reverb pedal like TC Electronics Hall Of Fame 2 to the Stereo output of the Kemper?

Don't know if that will sound good, compared to using the pedal in front of the Amp/Cabinet.

Any ideas/thougts?

Hi everybody,

I am a producer/songwriter and recently started to take my guitar learning and recording more seriously.

I've bought a kemper profiler (toaster) last year and I am incredibly happy about the purchase. But, there is something very intriguing about buying outboard pedals for like distortion, reverb, modulation etc etc. I must say that I'm not a 100% fan of the distortion pedals in the kemper. Also the world of pedals is sooo much bigger than the 'pedals' that kemper is offering.

I haven't bought any pedals though, yet, because I've got a pretty specific question, regarding recording guitars with a kemper.

As you know, the kemper let's you use mono fx pedals in front of the Amp section. After the amp it offers a couple more slots for Stereo FX.

This is where I'm asking myself; if you want to use a nice chorus or reverb, don't you want this to be Stereo? In other words, are you limited to using kemper Fx only? Because you cannot run a Stereo signal into the kemper.

As a producer I prefer stereo reverb, delay, chorus etc.. but, I feel like a lotttt of guitar players are running his/her pedals in mono, as I don't see a stereo amp setups that often.

But does that mean that guitars are often recorded with Mono FX instead of Stereo FX?
Or is this a live/studio type of difference?

Aynway, any insights/thoughts about this are very welcome

No. I have a midi controlled pedal board with RJM Mastermind PDC, Strymon Timeline and Mobius, TC HoF, Cali76 Compressor, Full-Tone 2 and various other OD/Boost pedals, CryBaby and Whammy DT. I played around with it and the Kemper for a few days then put the pedal board back in its flight case and haven't opened it since (March 2017).

Wow... sick haha

Okay, so I see that a bunch of Kemper owners are not using pedals anymore.

In a way that's kind of a surprise, as the are soooo many pedals available in shops/online nowadays.

Does that mean that the "No-Outboad-Pedals-People" think that most of the pedals needed are already inside the Kemper Fx?

For example; I had my eye recently on a Qtron Plus pedal.

And I don't have any wah pedal in my setup yet. Still figuring out if I should get a CryBaby (1 of the dozen different ones) or the EP1-KP-GN..

Btw, I think I would easily fall into the same category as @TheSaint, where I am a bit of a "buy-new-gear-addict"

Hi everybody,

I am a Kemper Profiler owner since May 2019.

I use the Kemper in my studio, where I am working as a Pop-producer/songwriter fulltime. I bought the Kemper to upgrade the sound of guitars, whenever I use them in one of my productions. I am not a great guitar player yet, still learning, but I am veryy much an enthusiast when it comes to sound.

Therefore I was wondering if Kemper owners/users generally still use outboard pedals in front of their Kemper.

I am always on YouTube watching videos about nice pedals and stuff, but I already found out that for my setup it's almost undo-able to add Stereo FX Pedals into the Kemper chain. Because I have the Send/Return/Alternate Input connections always connected for Re-Amping. So therefor I kind of cancelled out the idea of buying nice Choruses, Delays and Reverbs.

But, of course there are more nice pedals you could use. So I was wondering what kind of pedals you use in combination with your Kemper.
