Solved - Equalizer stock settings messed up

    I'm not sure exactly when this happened, but I noticed that if I select any of the equalizer effects (Graphic, Studio, or Metal), they all have the settings messed up. This is using the Type knob, not the Browse knob, so I'm not selecting presets I made or saved.


    For the graphic equalizer, every band is set to -12dB. The high and low cut are at the normal stock values.


    The Studio EQ has the gain for every band set to -12dB, and all of the frequencies set to very low, but not minimum values (e.g. High Freq 110.0 Hz)


    The Metal EQ is set similarly to the Studio EQ.


    Has anyone seen this before and/or have an idea as to how to fix it? Thanks.

    I just started the Kemper, to check if anything was locked. I checked all three EQs, and they all appear to be fine, now. I can't remember if I turned it off and on again, which is almost always the first step I always take with any computer-related problem.


    I can't explain why it happened, but all appears to be well now. I had never set any of the EQs to such absurd values, and assume that I've never loaded a profile with those values set.


    Thanks.

    Glad it's sorted out. It's a good idea to get familiar with the studio eq and graphic eq when you get some time. I run a cheap spectrum analyzer app on my phone, and while it's probably not completely accurate it shows me a decent representation of the frequencies coming out of my speakers. I like to set one eq in my "pre amp" slot 3, and another in the X slot. I use the slot 3 to shape the distortion character, and high pass/low pass. I use the spec analysis data to cut fizzy and cocked wah like frequencies. The X slot is for further refinement of the overall sound. It's also useful to know the frequency chart of the speakers you use(if you use power amp and cab via monitor out). I never use the eq presets as they don't account for playing style i.e. "Metal" can mean Cannibal Corpse or Judas Priest, very different eq preference! When you know where your speaker frequencies start and end, you can cut out some of the frequencies not utilized. I typically cut the lows below 50hz and the highs above 10khz, this is broader than my speakers can even produce, but when we play live it's nice to have a little more sound spectrum available through the PA.

    i use the graphic eq to cut low and high. I also take out sone 640 hz with humbuckers, playing on profiles made for single coils. Ive never tried before the amp, though, just in the X slot.
    I really haven't messed with the studio eq since using it to cut fizz on an hd500. I haven't needed it on the Kemper. I have no idea what the metal eq type is, but I'm pretty sure it is a type andnot a preset.
