Excellent Michael, you did it again - love these profiles ... thanks so much.

Wolf

Thanks for the update of profile 1 pack ... some nice clarity improvements on my favourite /13 & Trainwreck profile - great customer service indeed.

Looking forward already to profile pack 3

Cheers,
Wolf

I AM SO STUPID!!
Still dont get it...
If I had the Mission pedal - and if I want to have it normaly active as a volume pedal, but sometimes as a Wah.
What do I do?
I configure the knob at toe position in such a way, that it switches my wah on (or off).
But now, when I want to activate Wah, I would have to move my volume pedal to full toe position, which makes it max volume. Right? Now, I press the button, wah is activated, volume deactivated. What happens with my volume now?
Will it just stay at max volme or drop back to normal?

Hi CPHfx,

If you use 2 TRS leads connected to the KPA to use TRS connection 1 for wha expression & the TR (this connection requires a TR only - though takes a TRS as well) as a stomp on/off, you engage the wha with the toe switch - the volume is at 100% at that point ... disengage the wha with the toe switch - the volume is at 100% ... vol at 0% will automatically switch to tuner mode

You can save the 2. connection (if you engage pedal mode - switch wha via moving the pedal) to automatically switch to vol mode once the pedal wasn't moved for a second or 2 ...

Hope that helps

Here's mission's reply: Thanks for the note. I would advise checking with Kemper to see if this is normal behavior or not. When switching a single pedal between multiple effects, the software may not be aware of the absolute position of a remote pedal, which might require moving it one time to reset. This is just speculation though as I do not have detailed knowledge of the internals of the Kemper software.

Here's Kemper's:
You cannot use the same pedal for volume and wah in the same rig if you engage the Volume to wah function.
Here is an expert of the refernce manual about this subject

Link pedals
If you do not want to bring three pedals to a gig, but would still like to benefit from all these features, you can link the

pedal nodes to suit your setup. You will find two simple soft buttons in the System menu on the page “MIDI Settings”.

If you don’t use a Volume Pedal very often, press “Volume Pedal to Wah”. Now, when a Wah
effect is active on the current Rig, the Wah Pedal will act as
expected, and a Volume Pedal function will not be available. However, in
any Rig without an active Wah effect, volume can now be controlled by
the Wah Pedal. Even when a Wah effect is active, but has “Pedal Mode” set to “Off” or “Touch”, the Volume Pedal link will still be in operation.

The Profiler automatically prevents volume dips when switching from a “Wah Pedal” Rig to a “Volume Pedal” Rig,
so you will need to reset the pedal after the Rig change by first
pressing it to toe position. Once you have done this, you will be able
to smoothly fade the volume back to where you want it.

Likewise, you can link the Pitch Pedal to the Wah effects by selecting “Pitch Pedal to Wah”. In contrast to the Volume Pedal, you must first reset the Pitch Pedal by pressing it to heel position after a Rig change.

The link settings are global, so you don’t
have to reprogram your Rigs individually. You can decide spontaneously,
from gig to gig, how many pedals you want to bring with. The
appropriate settings are done in seconds.

It is even possible to link both pedals functions to the Wah
Pedal. In this case, the Volume Pedal has the lowest priority: active
Wah or Pitch Pedal beat the Volume Pedal.

Once the Volume Pedal or Pitch Pedal is linked to
the Wah Pedal, they cannot be accessed by their respective midi
controllers or pedal input destinations.

We do not support the swapping of pedal functions by switching a Wah effect on and off, as this would cause problems. Besides, you’ll get a better result by selecting one of the dedicated “Pedal Modes” that automatically activate the Wah effect as soon as you move the Wah Pedal.
If you need a volume and a wah pedal in the same rig you have to buy a second pedal.

I use the mission with - as explained in the video - 2 leads connected between KPA & the mission (takes up both TRS connections at the rear of the KPA- well, one TRS, one TS) ... with Vol-to-Wha linked & toe switching between Wha & vol seems to work smoothly as expected (in addition I'm using the Pedal mode set to have the wha coming on automatically when moving it as well - may be able to free a connection that way - might do that in the future ...).
But, of course, if you need wha & vol at the same time in one rig you may need another pedal ... I'm controlling vol & clean-up using the vol knob a lot lately (check out the M Britt profiles for that - sonic bliss!)

Yippee,

Just had a mail from Kemper sales coming through: "The status of your order has changed. The new status is as follows: pending" - Life is good

Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I contacted Kemper and Mission and the problem was that after turning off the wah in a rig with the toe switch, and then going directly to the volume, the volume would not taper down...it would just cut off abruptly. This would only happen right after using the wah. Then the volume would behave normally. This was for one rig....if I used wah and volume in separate rigs, it was fine but I like to keep everything in one rig. I sent it back and ordered 2 DVPs.

How bizarre ... the mission works fine for me ... maybe a rogue pedal? Did Mission comment on this? Anyways, looks like you found the working solution for you

Cheers,
Wolf

Does anyone use the mission as a wah AND volume and have it working correctly??

Hiya,

I have a Mission Engineering pedal (EP1-KP) working perfectly as Vol/Wha with my KPA ...

The following video explains the setup perfectly

... there you go Tilman,
you tempted me so much, I now have a Palmer 1x12 empty cab on its way

Now, I'm waiting for the arrival of the KIT

Cheers,
Wolf

Hi Tilman,

This sounds just what I need, i.e. for my Powerhead with 2 of your 1x12" GFR/FRFR cabs - brilliant!

For the kit which "empty cabs" do you recommend - your own cabs (Kemper green tolex - hmm ...) or the Palmer's as discussed above?

Cheers,
Wolf

... apropos D-style profiles (love Michael's D-pack!!) - this Overdrive Deluxe could do with being profiled ...

Cheers,
Wolf

I'm currently using my Powerhead (power amp switched off) with a Stagesource L2t which I used with my HD500X before - and it sounds awesome.
It actually sounds a lot more organic & full (and plenty of loud!) with the Kemper compared to the HD500X which I attribute to the Kemper ... and which speaks for the L2t as well, who is able to translate the Kemper's sound brilliantly.
I probably will look for a light & compact unpowered FRFR stereo 2x12 cab in the future, but the L2t really rocks in combination with the Kemper (and the M Britt profiles).

Hi Michael,
I'm absolutely loving your Dumble pack - it is a revelation to me.
I'm a huge fan of Robben Ford and was always looking for means to 'get' his sound (never had a chance to play through a Dumble for obvious reasons) and now the D-pack 'opened' that door for me - thanks for that
I love how these profiles clean up with the vol knob - amazing.

Looking forward to your next profile pack

Cheers,
Wolf

Hello fellow Kemperians,

Finally my Powerhead arrived yesterday & I already had a long session last night to go through the presets of the unit ... I have downloaded a couple of Mike Britt's Kemper profiles (in love with his D-style sounds) & I'm absolutely chuffed to bits how sensible this thing reacts to just dialling different vol knob settings - SUPER !!!!

I was using a Vetta II combo for about 9 years & a HD500X/L2t over the last year & really liked the versatility & sound possibilities of both units (so much, I held off any temptation of getting a Axe Fx over the years) ... just before christmas I had a chance of checking out a KPA & had such a eureka moment - resulting consequently in a serious GAS attack - I had to order one ...

I'm lurking around the forum for some time now & noticed here a wealth of knowledge & goodwill to help ...

All the Best & keep the good vibes up,

Wolf
