Select Input Preset on Connect

Tilli85 · Feb 22nd 2016

Hi there,

I am using multple guitars with different pickups. Since I change the Input preset pretty often, this procedure could be simplified:

When the user plugs a cable into the front input a "popup menu" could be shown. Four input presets could be selectable by pressing one of the soft buttons. If no selection was made in x seconds, the input preset will not be changed and the popup menu disappears.

So everytime you connect your guitar with the KPA you just press on the preferred input preset button (e.g. EMG HB, Passive SC, …).

What do you think?

PS: Maybe, this process could even be automated. Is it possible to detect a guitar/pickup by the noice that is transferred without playing a note?

Interesting idea.

For me this would be a no. When you change guitar you are a push of a button and a knob away from changing preset. Developing a specific routine for this (not mentioning the "autosens" feature) would require an incommensurable amount of time and resource in comparison to what we'd save (turning a knob).
I'd be glad if these resources went to other aspects and functionalities.

This might be a very useful feature at home/in the studio.

When performing, I change guitars with a footswitch on my pedalboard - I don't take the time to disconnect a cable.

Well, you've got me playing with my non-existent goatee...
