Using the effects loop adds a huge amount of latency - more than 7ms on top of the basic latency of the unit (plus the latency of digital pedals in the chain).
Hmm, I wasn’t aware of that good to know! Actually I am not using the effects loop actively so I did not have the chance to notice. Thanks for the info!
Further more if it turns out that you need a buffer, you already have one in the Profiler. If you are ok with loosing one effects slot, you can put an effects loop right to the first slot, and hook your pedals in there.
I have an old Kemper Head. I have not had a chance to try QC or Fractal or Helix hardware, so I cannot tell about the difference. I read everywhere about the "Kemper sound". I have not heard it in my unit so far, maybe it is because I did not try any of the above side by side.
What I have started though is to use the Kemper via digit i/o and use my Focusrite Clarett+ IOs for guitar in and monitor out. This is in my bedroom studio only. I find it much better, and it actually sounds stellar to me. Few comparisons I tried since I have been using it like that are some plugins. Free ToneX player with factory captures, Helix AU plugin, Logic Pro X amp emulations. My verdict on sound quality: 1. Kemper, 2. ToneX, 3. Logic 4. Helix. None other than the Kemper has the harmonics as an amp has. If you play anything on the Kemper on higher notes, you hear as if the strings you play on were thicker physically. It's thick and harmonic rich.
I would be quite curious to compare the Kemper with better external preamps and converter to QC and some newer Fractal units (Axe-FX III or FM3). This would tell a lot about the real tone properties of the algorithms themselves.
If you simply turn off every effect after the amp section, it will be mono.
You can also use Double Tracker effect on the rythm guitar. That emulates multiple players playing the same.
And welcome to the forums!
Thank you! 😊
Actually I was not using a daw. It is just the Focusrite with direct monitoring, so the problem wasn’t the buffer size. It could be a sound card bug as well.
The funny thing is that right after I started this thread, I restarted the Kemper. It works since that, and this time the problem does not come back. Maybe the cure is just to write on the forum 
Thanks for the hints!
Hello,
I have problem and am trying to see if others have similar issues, maybe possible fixes for it.
I experience clicks in the S/PDIF signal, but there are a few strange things around it which makes it interesting. Here are the facts:
Does anyone have any idea?
