New Kemper owner needs help with live rig

  • I just purchased the Kemper for a price that was just to hard to pass up. I'm currently a tube amp and pedal board guy who never thought he'd use another modeler for live use again but things change and like I said the deal was just to good to pass up. I'm currently waiting anxiously for it to show up in the mail but I'm trying to do some forward thinking to get this thing stage ready asap.


    I'm contemplating two different set ups right now to use my POD HD500 as a midi controller or use my overdrive pedals and use a small analog midi controller to switch between different amps, and turn on and off different delays and reverb. How are the kemper overdrive sims? Right now I've got a Zendrive, Pure Drive, and OCD which I stack into a clean Fender type amp.


    I think Ideally I'd like to just use the HD500 and have it set where A,B,C,D on the HD500 are set to different amps in the Kemper, and have the FS1,2,3,4 on HD500 control OD,delay,reverb,etc on the Kemper. Will this work? Also will the tap tempo/tuner on the HD500 work with the Kemper?


    Thanks :)

    Welcome & enjoy the profiler! ;)


    I used to use the HD 500 the way you describe, so this will work.
