clean rigs with distorted volume

Quote from theplayer

check every time clean sense input and distorted sense input and they're always at 0.0 dB. Where's that distortion coming from?

I have set my Distortion sense to - 3 db , because I had same Problem.
Now I can play clean with some power and also with higher gain.

Does the input LED flash red while playing?
Edit: I just realised that your output LED is flashing red. Your rig volume is to be too high. See @viabcroce 's post for a solution.

I use a Gibson Les Paul Standard (Jimmy Page 1995) in treble position,

Did you also try clean sence with an higher value, while set the distorted sence to -3 .

CS and DS won't be of help.
If the output LED is steadily (or very frequently) on the RED, the rig volume is too high. Lower it and resave.
You can also use the Cabinet volume, or any volume in any FX slot.
Resave!

Clean sounds have much higher peaks than distorted sounds. If you need volume but don't want peaks, you might use for example the Compressor in the Amp section.

@theplayer: Even when rig volume is at 12o'clock it can clip the output, especially if there is serious boosting/EQing going on in a rig.
So your guess to keep everything at 12o'clock will not always work out.
As always, use your ears first, but also your eyes.
And if the output LED is constantly red you should definitely lower the rig volume.
Also this doesn't necessarily have to be compensated for with the master volume as you said, because the Profiler has some serious output anyway.

After you've set up Clean and Distortion senses, you should look at the Cabinet volume, Rig volume and any Stomp/Effect slot volumes and balance them so the Output doesn't hit the red.

Then compensate with the master volume and the volume of any active speakers.

Almost every stage in the Kemper's sound chain has its own volume parameter. Some rigs from the Rig Exchange have one or more of these set too high, introducing "hidden" volume boosts. Unless you want to achieve a special effect, like overdriving the next component in the chain, these volumes should be set to zero.

Check every stomp slot, the cabinet and every effects slot -- the volume parameter is always all the way to the right in the parameter list.

Also, I don't think the Master Volume knob (or any of the output volumes) will influence internal clipping. Although of course if you set it too high you may clip your poweramp/speakers that come after the Kemper.

Edit -- I've been ninja'ed by Sambrox on this. But seriously, check those volume parameters in each stage first. I've seen it lots of times with rigs that sounded louder or more distorted than expected based on the Gain and Rig Volume settings. A high volume in one of the stomps will drive the preamp even if the Gain knob is set very low; a high volume after the amp section can lead to output clipping. And usually there's no reason for it other than to make the rig stand out by sounding louder: the volume parameter is not a "mix" parameter, where a higher setting makes the effect more noticeable; instead, it simply determines the overall output volume of that section (stomp/cabinet/effect) going into the next section.

Just set them all to 0dB (including the Chorus stomp you're using) and use the Rig Volume knob to balance the rig in relation to other rigs.

I would keep things simple tho, specially at a troubleshooting stage:

Input LED clipping -> Lower Clean Sens until it ceases.
Output LE clipping -> Lower Volume.
Distortion on a clean rig, no clipping -> The Profiler is probably clipping the poweramp: lower Master Volume. Or, the poweramp is clipping the cab. Or the unit requires a reset

Notes:

• a seldom red blinking on either LEDs doesn't imply distortion.
• True, there are many places where to turn volume down. But they are all linear, so either will do the job. It's impossible to clip the Profiler internally.
• I would keep cabinet and amp volumes consistently @ 0, so to have a greater flexibility and coherence for example in order to use them as presets. So I systematically use the Volume knob.
• Keeping fx' volumes at a level different than 0 only makes sense when you plan to engage the effect(s) in order to get a variation in both tone and volume. If the effect(s) are kept on all the time it's of no use; even when they are placed in the Stomp section, they won't drive an overdrive or the amp differently than the Gain knob.

Thanks for remind again for this video.

Distortion Sense has no impact on clean rigs and Clean Sense has no impact on distorted Rigs - please don't create any more myths about CS & DS with posts like this.
thanks

Question... What is the difference between increasing the gain of a clean sounds to get a distorted solosound or choosing a certain amplifier to reach the same result. What is to prefer?
Option 1 = playing a clean intro (saved) rig en using that same sound but with much increased gain for rig 2 (saved) for soloing OR
Option 2 = playing a clean intro (saved) rig and using a whole other rig with a chosen distorted amp for soloing. It seems that this option is much more uncontroleable in getting volumes at the right level

Option one will most likely not work well. Increasing the gain on an otherwise clean amp profile will sound artificial when you get out of a certain range.
Like in real life, use distortion pedals with the clean amp (which would be option 3) or use a proper amp for overdrive (option 2)

You can also choose a distorted sound which clears well, and lower its gain for the cleaner\quieter part (even using your guitar's pot if you prefer).
Remember that through Distorted Sens you can determine how dirt\clean it becomes. also, with the Compression parameter in the Amp section (but also with Clean Sens) you can determine how loud the sound stays when you clear it.
A whole arsenal of choices, don't be shy at tweaking and choosing what you like best ;D
