Cascade ribbon mic dead center about 1.5 inches away. Really great and simple. Body and bite.

Here's mine. I have used it a couple different ways.

Audio into Boost-OD-HD500-Ampswitcher- then to either Kemper or two other amps

Audio into Kemper with HD500 as just a midi controller

This is what I am currently using. spdif from the HD500 to Kemper works very well.

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to get the picture to post here from flickr.

Hey Michael,
Have you ever tried the Kemper into the effects return of the Dreamweaver?

I need to try that one of these days and bypass the cabs in the profiles. I'm thinking that might work out pretty well with the gold in those cabs. That speaker works so well with a variety of amps.

Both/And bro!

Everyone has times when they prefer one or the other. Different tools for different purposes. I think we all need to have the Kemper AND at least one good tube amp handy. There are times when I really need to use one or the other for different situations.

Maybe someday be able to have two amps at the same time.

"compare" feature to see if the changes you made actually improved the rig

Filter delay
lo res delay

More dirt stomps - klon, Fulldrive 2, Xotic BB AC and EP, etc...

Another vote for bigger.

Maybe I'm not understanding.

I am trying to use the internal expression pedal; i.e. the one with the toe switch that is built into the HD500.

I want the volume to work normally. Then when I hit the toe switch it turns the volume pedal off and turns on the wah.

RIght now, I can get the toe switch to turn on the wah. But the volume pedal stays on going up and down. I can bypass the volume pedal function for just the wah and that works great.

In other words. I have to pick wah or volume for expression 1. (I have exp 2 tied up doing something else)

What am I missing?

Well, I have owned and sold a bunch of nice guitars. But they will have to kill me to take away my way too expensive Tyler. Best instrument I have ever played.

Another quick question;

Is there a a way to use the HD500's expression the way it works in the HD500. IN other words, volume till you hot the toe switch then wah without volume. Cn this be done without using a stomp block?

Quote from Ingolf

Troy, make sure you send CC #68 in order to REALLY control delay mix.
When you send CC #27, which is also (erroneously!) called 'Delay mix' you toggle delay on and off while keeping the trails.
Kemper should rename the CC#27 to 'delay switch keep trails' ASAP.

Yes! Victory! Thanks, Ingolf.

Hey All,
Any thoughts on this?

I have assigned exp pedal 2 to the delay mix but it is acting like a toggle.

I have tried to follow these instructions on my mac, but just can't get it to install.

I have downloaded the file.
Uncompressed it in the downloads folder
opened up the terminal
entered the commands

I just get these responses:

Admins-MacBook-Pro-4:~ tk$ cd kpa_tag_inspector
-bash: cd: kpa_tag_inspector: No such file or directory
Admins-MacBook-Pro-4:~ tk$ cd kpa_tag_inspector
-bash: cd: kpa_tag_inspector: No such file or directory
Admins-MacBook-Pro-4:~ tk$ python kpa_tag_inspector.py
python: can't open file 'kpa_tag_inspector.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Admins-MacBook-Pro-4:~ tk$ python kpa_tag_inspector.
python: can't open file 'kpa_tag_inspector.': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I know it must be something obvious. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Thanks for doing this!!

I have profiled with a single Cascade ribbon mic right on the dust cap a few inches away with great results. But yeah, the amp was about as loud as it gets.

Very cool, Michael. I have done a similar thing the last couple of weeks with my American/British Dreams and the Kemper. I profiled it with the same mic setup we use for live. WIth some minor tweaking, you are hard put to distinguish one from the other.

I use an HD500 for a controller and for all my effects right now because I am so familiar with the Line6 delays. The HD500 just changes amps in the Kemper for me while changing effects and guitars on the Tyler variax. Since I am singing all the time, it's nice to just push one button and get all the effects and amp changes.

I eventually want to dig deeper into the Kemper's internal effects. But for now, this system is working great for me.

Hey, any more thoughts on this Michael? How's it working out on the road?

I doubt it's a problem bro. Andy uses a 121 all the time on his amp factory profiles.

I love the Fairgain Queen profile for mid gain. That cab sounds great on just about anythng I have tried it with as well. Andy outdid himself on that profile.

I am new to the Kemper. But I am using the HD500 as a midi controller, fx and controller for the Tyler Variax. SO far it works great. And I don't notice any signal degradation. Sounds great!
