I would like to be able to use a MIDI CC number to change the Input setting from one guitar to another.

Very Good Idea !

No way around that, afaik. You'll just have to set it up for one guitar before you get on stage and then adjust every time you switch to another. Just a few seconds work, no biggie.

EDIT: Yay, Bayern Munich!

No time for "a few seconds work" between songs when it is a tight show, or if a string breaks. My stage guitars are set up not to need a change in Input, but, sometimes I bring something else, too. One night, someone brought in her father's '66 Jazzmaster for me to play. Very surpising, very fun! And, VERY low output. If I could have switched input settings from my pedalboard, I could have used it on more songs.

I see this being useful.

Would a recordable sysex event be sufficient?

That somehow flew over my head, yet smacked me between the eyes. What does that mean? Sounds promising.

just discussing ideas.

I was thinking in terms of live gigs, so sysex would only work with a MIDI controller that can send sysex. A MIDI CC number would be my preference. Most MIDI controllers allow assigning a CC number to a footswitch.

But, come to think of it, it could also be done without MIDI - the footswitch inputs on the back of the Kemper are another option.

+1 this would be very handy in a live situation

I use 4 to 5 guitars in a gig so I'm changing quite often but sometimes forget to change the input setting.
However, I mostly use different performances with different guitars, so being able to tie the guitar to the performance would be useful.

If you Unlock the Input, you can have separate input settings for each rig now.

If the Kemper can read the impedance of the guitar that is plugged, it could provide a way to automatically set the clean sense, based on the user's preferences.
