What foot switches work with Kemper Profiler?

    Is there a specific foot switch that I need to buy to use with the Profiler, or are there are foot switches that work as well? For example I have a foot switch from an old Peavey head that I don't have anymore. Can I somehow wire this to the Profiler?


    TIA!

    Traditional amp channel foot switches are typically latching type (press on, press off).


    Single and Dual Switches of Other Brands

    The PROFILER requires so-called “momentary” and “normally open” switches. Channel switches for tube amplifiers are not compatible with the PROFILER, as they use a latching mechanism that would only trigger their assigned switching function every other hit. Single switches are connected via a TS cable, and dual switches via a TRS cable.

    Select “Mono Switch” or “Dual Switch” Mode on the corresponding "Pedal” page in Pedal Settings of PROFILER Stage or System Settings of all other PROFILER variants and assign a switching function with the soft knob labeled “Switch Tip”. If “Dual Switch” is selected, another switching function can be assigned with soft knob labeled “Switch Ring”. If your external switch allows to change its polarity (e.g. Boss® FS-5 and FS-6), set it to normally open. The switching function should be triggered as soon as you hit the button. Wrong polarity implies, that the switching function gets triggered, when you release the button. Especially if you intend to control Looper Start and Looper Stop

    with the external switch, wrong polarity can lead to odd results as both hitting and releasing the buttons have their meaning. Don’t forget to press “Calibrate” and trigger each switch once.

    If for each "performance" I only wanted to switch between 2 profiles, e.g. "clean" and "distortion", what would be the minimum device I would need to do this?

    Is that exactly what that Boss FS-6 switch does? Just switch between profiles A & B?



    Thanks!

    The switch doesn’t really matter. As long as it is non-latching it should work. I have a really cheap little dual switch I bought for £15 on ebay that works perfectly well.


    In terms of what it does this is determined by what you want it to do. In the Pedal Settings page in system menu you can select what type of pedal you are connecting (single, dual, exprssion) and what you want it to do.

    I bought a cheap Behringer FS112B on eBay based on some older threads I saw on the same topic.

    When in Performance mode, I click the left footswitch button, and it goes to the Profile to the left, but when I click right, it does nothing. I can cycle through the profiles just once by clicking them all the way left, but then I can't click right go to back.


    Is the pedal broken or do I somehow need to change its settings?


    Thanks!
