Based on the discussions at some forums, I had a feeling people could use a short demonstration of what Automatic Double Tracking (ADT) is and how it could be useful.
We've all heard the complaints: the ADT sounds like phasing with the Kemper, it can only be used into the front of two Kempers, etc.
Here is a short clip I did demonstrating what an ADT effect is like.
In this demo, I play a rhythm part through the Kemper without an ADT, then with the ADT activated in a mono loop and then with ADT on in a stereo loop.
After that, I play a melody line with the ADT off, on in a mono loop and then a stereo loop. Listen with headphones
Hopefully this should give you an idea of how this type of pedal could be useful. No settings were changed on the pedal for any of the parts, just switch the loop on to mono and then on to stereo.
Now, it struck me, based on my ownership of a couple of these pedals, that the actual issue seemed to be that everyone was monitoring through headphones or listening with everything panned centre.
Trust me, that is the last way you want to be monitoring with this effect, even with headphones. Think of two modulated signals right in the centre of your stereo field moving from side to side and crossing each other every now and then...
The first thing you have to do is make sure you pan the inputs you are using on whatever device hard left and hard right - whether that's an interface or a PA system, it doesn't matter.
Now if you have two speakers connected directly to the Kemper, you really don't need to worry about panning left and right. Don't believe me? Check out this video where I had my Deco in a stereo loop and my Kemper hooked up directly to my studio monitors.
With headphones, you will definitely hear the difference. And keep in mind this is with a single KPA, with a Deco in the stereo loop.
It's worth mentioning that some of the guys who know what it is have asked for Kemper Amps to give us an FX that does exactly that, i.e. ADT.
The ADT pedal I am using for this demo is a Strymon Deco. I'd love to be able to demonstrate this effect with a TC Electronic Mimiq, but I sold mine. Should be exactly the same result.
Let me know if you're having any trouble with your pedal and I'll be happy to help you get it set up.
