  • Remote switches getting harder to press/making noise

    Hi everyone, I got the same issue on Stage unit. I have one perhaps two switches squicky and hard to press/step quite frequently. Actually, those are button 1 and 2 - mostly annoying when using looper mode as those stand for start/rec and stop/cancel.


    Any idea how to get rid of this issue? Would WD-40 or lubricant oil help? How to use it to not to interfere with electronics inside?

  • Mission Engineering EP1-KP expression pedal + Stage (step by step setup guide)

    Quote from Wheresthedug

    Set first pedal as Wah. Make sure the Type is correct. Most pedals are Type 1 but My Mission needed to be Type 2. If you have the wrong type set the pedal will do nothing for most of its travel then provide the full effect in a very short range at the end. If you get a nice smooth wah effect or volume swell you have the correct type.


    Now set up a second pedal for the input the TS a s connected to. I have my wah in Stomp B so I set the second pedal function to Mono Switch, Toggle Stomp B. This turns the Wah on and off.


    If you want to use the sa,e pedal for multiple functions you need to select the desired combination in the Wah > x. Checkboxes. Ie Wah > Volume, Wah > Pitch etc.

    Managed to get wah>vol with pedal switch, but how to get pitch? Is it possible in the same stomp section? And how to get morph engaged with the same pedal having the above setup?

  • Who thinks Kemper Stage is noisier than Rack/Toaster ?

    Quote from Undertow

    I have the unpowered toaster. It’s dead quiet even with high gain profiles and no gate.
    I think the stage has some issues :/

    I’ve seen some videos on YouTube with Stage users showing various presets and these guys signal seemed noise free. Can you guys share your experience with buzzes, hums and noises experience on your KPA’s? Any Stage users? How did you solve it?

  • Mission Engineering EP1-KP expression pedal + Stage (step by step setup guide)

    New to Kemper and looking for help. I’m trying to connect and setup EP1-KP expression pedal with Stage. Currently using TRS (STEREO) & TR (MONO) cables and managed to setup Volume and Wah only so far. Seems like the toe switch on my pedal doesn’t work?


    Therefore, I believe Some things could have been done better, as I have no idea what I’m doing wrong even after completing RTFM phase with relevant chapter. If I understand correctly, TRS cable will let you control wah/volume and TR is a switch? Is there possibility use Volume, Morph, Wah, or Pitch in one rig having just one pedal? Would say yes, but how?


    Would be fantastic, if someone more experienced could create a step by step guide on how to connect Stage and EP1-KP pedal starting with getting right cables, picking right inputs/outputs and getting through Stage setup to be able to switch in between Volume, Morph, Wah, or Pitch in one rig.

    Appreciate your feedback!

  • Who thinks Kemper Stage is noisier than Rack/Toaster ?

    New to Kemper products. Got Stage unit last week. Happy with feeling in general and technical support so far. One of the first things I’ve noticed was noise/hum louder than usually on other amps. Instantly went to input module and had to go up to 6-7 on noise gate to get rid of all noises (also high gain). Never had to use noise gate on clean sounds before. It doesn’t matter whether this is single coil strat or humbacker prs. As far as I know, using noise gate in recording studio or even live is not the best way to get job done. Is there any other way to fix this on Stage? Do I miss something?
