using the kemper with volume pedals

    Hi everyone, first (and most definetely not the last) post for me. Im a new kemper user, moved over from the gigrig. I was wondering if it's possible to use my EB6165 as a vol/expression pedal with the kemper? And how would i cable it in? Also, probably a silly question, (and off topic) but is there a way of me creating a sound using multiple effects, then saving that sound as ONE sound and using it as one effect (say in X). When i save the effect block for later use, where does it get saved if i want to use that sound on a different performance or rig? can you name these new sounds?

    Thank you in advance!

    Expression Pedal Recommendation

    An expression pedal works just like any analog Wah or volume pedal, but is made for digital devices. It only needs one cable with a stereo jack (TRS jack). In principle, all kinds and makes of expression pedals can be used with the Profiler, however many users prefer the following two models:

    Dunlop DVP 3* is a hybrid, including analog volume as well as expression functionality. Because of its wide mechanical-range, it is preferred by many users for sensitive volume control or morphing.

    Mission EP-1 and EP-1 KP* are both available in green and black. The EP-1 has the look and feel of a classical Wah pedal. That’s why it’s the preferred choice of many users for Wah applications. The EP-1 KP offers an additional toe switch, which can be connected to the Profiler like any other external switch via an additional TS-cable. This switch can then be used to activate/deactivate Wah effects in a similar way to how classical Wah pedals work. This toe switch can be very practical, if the pedal is used as a dedicated Wah pedal, or Wah in combination with volume. Generally, a toe switch is not required as the Profiler offers intelligent ways to activate Wah effects, for instance by simply moving the pedal.

    Short answer: A Volume Pedal can’t be used as an expression pedal.


    Your other question:


    Although you cannot “collapse” mutiple Effects Slots to just one Slot:


    You can create and save a Stomp Preset that contains the effects settings and on/off status of A,B,C, and D lots.


    You an also create and save an Effects Preset that contains the effects settings and on/off status of X,MOD,DELAY,REVERB.

    While a volume pedal can be used as an expression pedal (if you make a special cable) the results are sub optimal at best due to the fact that volume pedals have a log taper pot and expression pedals have a linear pot.


    I always wondered how Dunlop managed to do both Volume and Exp in the same pedal. Turns out they have a dual gang pot attached to the pedal. One shaft controls a 250k log pot for volume and a 10k linear pot for Exp . As people in the UK of a certain age might say “pea and ham, from a chicken, now that’s clever!”
