Feedback problems

  • Hi everyone!! :)


    I'm going to order a Kemper Profiler (Powerhead) next month but i'm
    writing as there's only one think that is "worring" me a bit about the
    unit.


    I'm actually trying the unit for the first time as a friend of mine has
    given me it for a week to test it during rehearsals with my band.


    Since i've tried it for the first time i have to say that it sounds awesome!!


    Unfortunately, during this week of trial, i had a big problem that i
    wasn't able to solve so..i hope that you'll be able to help me.


    I mostly play high gain stuff and i have a Music Man JP7 (Di Marzio
    Crunchlab/Liquifire pickups) and i'm finding a lot of feedback problems
    with high gain profiles but even with some crunchy profiles with a
    natural boost before the amp!


    I'm using a Powerhead Kemper + MM JP7 + 2x Laney Ironheart Cabinet (16ohm)


    I also tried to use the main output + Brunetti Silver Bullet Power amp +
    Cabinet (thinkink that maybe it could be a problem of the power amp)
    but i can't find a solution to this problem even if i add gates (too
    much gain cut off the sound anyway..) and lower the gain...


    Obviously the cab sim is off and i also tried some different DI profiles with that but with the same results...


    It's not a pickup problem as i don't have any kind of problem like that
    with other amps (i also tried to keep the strings muted in front of the
    cab to see if it could be a pu problem)...


    Maybe something in the input/output has to be changed a lot (tried even
    to lower the distortion sense and the output EQ in the test with the
    addictional PA test).


    I just start to play a single note and...here's the feedback...!!


    I can also try to post a clip maybe...hope to find someone that can help me with that..!!


    Many thanks in advance to everyone and...sorry for the english (i know that it's not perfect..)

  • Welcome. The obvious questions are: Are clean sens and distortion sens set correctly?
    If so, uncontrollable feedback could well indicate that you are simply using too much gain for the configuration (incl. guitar/PU's/cab/room the cab is in).
    A recording woud be great.

  • Hi :)
    Many many thanks for the quick reply to everyone!!


    I tried to switch the ground/lift button but nothing changes...


    I also tried to configure the distortion/clean sense...this helped a little bit but didn't solve the problem anyway :(


    I'll try to make a little clip soon and share the whole rig setting and configuration so you can make a better idea of what i'm using and maybe focus better on what could be the main cause of the problem.


    Thanks again!!!
