if the master volume us post effects loop, what are the balanced ratios for kpa "whatever output you choose master volume" to the master volume in the amp? And before anyone says use your ears, that's not what I'm talking about. I've already done this before and could never figure out if i should dime the amp MV, or should I dime the kpa and slowly raise the amp MV. I also tried setting them both somewhere in the middle but then which one do I raise first if I need to be louder? I found myself raising both without a real sense of what i was doing was best/ideal. Chairs.
Hello Awesome_Elvis,
Here is what I would recommend. I would set the KPA Master Volume knob so that the display shows your Monitor Out volume bar to be somewhere around - 10 through 0 dB. On a scale of 0 through 10, that would equate to say 3 or 4. Then, on the tube amp's MV, slowly turn up the volume until it is as loud, or a bit louder than you will be playing at your location. Once you get to that uncomfortable volume level, back off just a bit on the tube amp's MV, and now start controlling and adjusting your over-all volume by using your Kemper's MV.
Note: I would always get in the habit (for safety to your ears and your speakers) of turning your tube amp's MV all the way down (off) before shutting off the tube amp's power. Also, before beginning a session and powering on your tube amp, make sure the tube amp's MV is all the way down (off) before you start.
Cheers,
John
