It is hard to help with what may be a gain staging issue without knowing what your current gain staging approach is:
Please describe your guitars and your attached gear. What are the input and output settings on everything?
I have my guitar on full volume and make sure the output LED on the KPA is not hitting the red, if it is I turn the profile volume down. I very rarely adjust the cab volume. With lots of gain you are going to get some noise etc just make sure you use the noise gate. Hope this helps a little
Typically, it's best to use the last element in your signal chain to do the heavy lifting. This means less chance of distortion at the earlier stages. Of course, you can raise them a little to ensure that you get reasonable volumes, but as suggested, use the power amp at the end of your chain to do the major increase in volume.
If you're running through multiple gain stages, lower at the start, higher at the end is the methodology I'd advocate.
Provided that clean sens is set correctly use rig volume to level your rigs (make sure the output is not clipping) and master volume to determine your loudness on stage. also send -15 dB to FOH and everybody will be happy.
The clean sense just might be my problem ...
I have them both at 0db which I´m sure its wrong ... how do you guys have that set up?
I have strat, tele, lap steel, jazz bass and I´m using all with the Kemper.
Mid overdrive or clean sounds at the edge of breaking up, with the odd High Gain is what I usually use ... but I hear a bit of hiss in the decay of chords and notes ...
I recently recorded the soundtrack of a Spanish film with this set up, and it worked great, but I could still her the noise, which is annoying ...
Any ideas?
Many thanks !

Sonopibe I set my clean sense for each guitar and save it in the input. How I set mine is pick a rig and chug an open E minor chord watch the LED so it occasionally flashes red then I back it off just a little. To me this gives me the best results for all profiles, some might do it differently but this is how I have got the best results. my distortion sense is set at 0 and I've never adjusted that.
Could record a demo of the sound?
