clean&distortion sense down ,rough rig -no effects and external pedals=Holly Grail Tone

I'll have to give that a shot. I noticed that most people seem to have a positive clean sense, but for me it seems to sound better with a slightly negative clean sense. I dont think my humbuckers are extra hot so I have to wonder when I see people talking about having their's cranked up.

Quote from Rescator

By accident, my clean and distortion sense was -2,6 and -4,6 respectively , what I discovered only after set up at least 20 profiles in performance mode .

Heck. It's true
In PM my CS was set to 6.5, a value I certainly would never set by myself.

As long as you do not clip the A\D converter, the CS setting has no influence on the sound: it's just a linear, pre-A\D volume control.

HTH

Are you saying that you set the CS in Browse mode, saved the rig, then copied the rig into a slot in Performance mode and the CS was changed? If so, then that seems like a bug...doesn't it?

No, it's not a bug, it's actually a feature.
Certain base parameters like the noise gate and the sens controls need to be set individually in BM and PM.

This. and you can lock things differently as well in the two environments.

Sure, I get that. But if I'm copying the rig into a Performance Mode slot I would expect that the current settings for the CS/DS and the noise gate would be copied that slot too (and then, of course, I can change them to whatever I want in PM independently of BM). Not sure why that wouldn't be the correct way for the KPA to copy the rig settings...

Actually, I'd have expected CS\DS to default to the Browser Mode's values in PM as well: just seems logical to me. Maybe this will be fixed in the future

What's the advantage of this feature? It doesn't make any sense to me.

For example: You want to use diffferent guitars for different performances and need different clean sens or gate settings. Easy. Just unlock the input and store with the performance.

Yep in the studio i use browse mode and obviously clients bring in different guitars which require different CS/DS. But performance mode i only use so the CS/DS are set for my guitars and playing. Im happy with it being different for both BM and PM

I see, thanks. Do you have to save CS/DS per slot or "globally" per performance? If the first is right, there is no difference between PM and BM with unlocked input.

I think it's per performance.

I guess the aspect you guys are discussing in the last posts is just a part of a greater idea; it's not focused on CS\DS, you can for example lock and unlock things differently in BM and PM.
I just think Kemper wanted to make them two independent environments, and went the whole hog.

I must admit I'm surprised. Never heard or read something about CS/DS per performance and things locking and unlocking different in PM and BM. Are you guys sure? Can you point me to a thread or a certain part of the manual?

Just try... it's the most direct experience

On a more serious note, CK Himself wrote it on a recent thread.

Ok, I must have missed that. Thanks guys!
