Very low signal with American Strat at Kemper Input

    Hi all,


    I baught a Kemper 2 weeks ago.
    It seems that the input signal of my Fender American Strat is very low.
    To have the same volume of gained sounds I have to put the input "Clean Sens" up to 8.
    Is this normal?
    Is is a sceond hand device from 2011 and I'm not sure weather newer Kemper has better hardware which can handle the input better.
    Or whaht could be the reason?

    I don't think it's "UNnormal" :)


    I wouldn't worry about it - sicne it goes from -12 to 12 as I recall.


    No, there shouldn't be any difference between kempers I don't think hardware has changed, not in any way that impact the use of the device anyway.


    It's probably just low-output pickups, possibly fairly far from the strings (which is not a problem, just one of the ways pickups can differ from each other). Keep in mind that the kemper also supports high-output active pickups, so it stands to reason that some guitars will need the clean sens up pretty high :)

    Also, check this video for the proper set up of Input senses :

    I compare one profile and raise the gain knob.
    Its like described in the manual to compensate the different volume of clean and gain in one profile.
    But I think that this difference is very big for my Strat.
