Hey everyone -
Need some Kemper help here.....
I guess I was so carried away when I first plugged in, I didn't realize how much clipping was actually going on. Not only from the "Input" light, but also the "Master" light.
I use extremely hot pick ups (Joe Bardens) and very good cables (George L's). In my opinion, this combination gives an extremely pure signal path into whatever you plug into (whether the Kemper, or an actual tube amp). I'm not sure if this combination is actually too hot for the Kemper.....
Can someone please walk me through the recommend settings so I'm not clipping so much? Interestingly, you can NOT actually hear the clipping coming through the monitors all the time...it just clips within the unit sometimes. Lots of red going on thats for sure. And red typically isn't a good thing.
In many cases (and on many profiles both user and stock), I can have my guitar volume nearly off - and the volumes of the Kemper very low and I still can clip the "Input" when hitting the strings hard. Is this normal or is there something else I can do? I am currently using Firmware 1.4.
I saw another thread about clipping, but I thought we could dedicate this one to all things "clipping".
Thanks for any/all of your input. I really appreciate the support.
Stay frosty -
