First off sorry, but the search function wanted 4 letters and Wah is only 3. Im having a problem with the wah turning on and off intermittently when Im using my foot controller, Im using a fc-300 in standard mode, with the exp 2 switch set to CC 22 to turn off Stomp X (latch mode), range is set to 0 -127, and CC 1 set to 0 - 127, I have ducking set to 0.0 , but with a real loud note (i mostly notice the input led turning red, im not positive this is the only time but it seems to be), it appears to turn off briefly . im not sure what im missing
Wah cutting on and off when on CC

Do you mean the Wha-stomp is turning off automatically when playing a real loud note? Or do you mean the Wha-stomp stays active, but the Wha can't be heard anymore? These are two different things and I'm not sure if I'm getting your post right. Also, what do you mean exactly with a "real loud note" (volume on the KPA or very strong string picking) ?

I use the FC300 as well and never noticed any WAH loss. I have never tried using it after the stack section though, I use it in slot D, before the preamp just like a traditional guitar rig. Try it there and see if it makes a difference, I'll try it today in slot X and see if I can replicate your issue.

Watch the stomp light. Does it really turn off or is it the case that the Wha can't be heard anymore? Also there are "Wha-modes" (don't know the exact name at the moment) called "Touch, Bypass@Heel" and so on. To what mode is your Wha set? We need more information to help you. "Sounds like it turns off briefly" is not much of a hint to be honest. Please put some more effort in describing your problem.

Hm...strange problem. But again: You need to know if the Wha disables itself (stomp light is off) or if it "only" sounds like the effect is off for a moment while the stomp light is still on. If the Wha turns off and on itself, it is likely a Midi problem. Also, please check the Wha pre-stack (slot A-D) as this is the common way to place the Wha in the signal chain. Try some other Wha modes too and report back. Good luck!
P.S.: Yes, it could be a language barrier as I'm no native speaker. But everything's fine, didn't mean to offend you.

Maybe the Wha cuts on and off because of the "few beer"...

Had a chance to try putting the Wah after the preamp like you have yours, Results were not good with high gain patches. I noticed major changes in tone without moving the pedal. It was almost like the Wah was catching up to where I put it, sometimes a full second later. I wouldn't use any Wah on the Kemper after the preamp section, it works great in Slots A B C or D.

Set the Ducking parameter of the Wah to the exact middle position.
-
It is set to 0.0 (exact middle position) as he wrote in his first post. But Booyah is right: Put the Wha pre stack and I'm sure you're done.

Why would that cure the dynamic effects that you can hear on Youtube?

Thanks for chiming in, Christoph! I just wanted to point out, that Ducking is already set to 0.0 and that it's way more common to put the Wah pre stack. Maybe this is part of a solution, maybe not. But it's definitely worth trying, I think.
Now as I'm thinking further about the exact middle position of the Ducking parameter, it's also important to point out, that there's a difference between the settings -0.0, <0.0> and +0.0! Only <0.0> is the exact middle position, the two other settings will have an effect on the sound/behaviour of the Wah!
