I have the same issue...just using the Kemper delays at the moment now...
Kemper mentioned there may be an update with the effect loop in the future.

Pretty please
Unfortunately, I think I'm restricted to using an amp there at this point. The noise issue is too bad until they change something. Guess the plus is... I can leave the Kemper at home and have it always set up and ready to rock!
In my case its completely confirmed it is the dimmer switch/halogen lights.
I don't understand why only the Kemper suffers from them. The keyboard and Roland electric drum kit are fine.
Do they emit EMI that the guitar picks up?
I'm pretty sure that it's the dimmer switch at this point but I'm going to try some things tonight to verify.
I understand now what you are saying. Hmm...that changes things a bit huh...
That's fine but the issue is ONLY with the Kemper. Not with traditional amps played in the same location.
I did try another outlet. Did not help the issue.
I don't have a usable battery backup to try at the moment. So at the moment I can't try that.
Thats actually a good point. Im running in the same power strip as a keyboard.
It has the settings in the video
The noise was clearly apparent with the humbucker. At home its dead quiet.
Going to try running the Kemper off a UPS supply to see if that remedies the problem. Than I can narrow it down to the power source if it stops the noise.
I've already done that except the SPDIF which isn't possible.
Amp = no issue
Kemper = added noise
So after further testing. Both single coils and my super quiet humbuckers have the same problem.
When the halogen lights are off it makes a significant difference but it's still there. I'm thinking those are on the same circuit as the kemper.
I'm thinking that my amps are less prone to the issue because of the power transformer.
I'm wondering if a power conditioner would solve it.
Its on clean low gain profiles.
It could be a combination I'm thinking of the power and the airborne issue.
Going to try out my quiet humbucker guitar tonight and see what happens.
I have shielded the guitar already so the only option would be noiseless if that is the issue.
Line frequency is set at 60Hz.
I'm pretty sure its airborne but its way worse with the Kemper (or other modeling device) than with an amp.
I tried the ground lift on the Kemper output and the DI box. I'm not sure I understand why using the ground lifts on the non used outputs would help.
I use the input noise gate which works well while not playing.
I'm not familiar with the other available noise gate yet (new Kemper owner here), but traditionally noise gates don't work until your sustained note falls below the threshold, correct.
I've tried a few times going the modeler route. I play weekly at a church venue.
Traditionally I have always used a guitar > pedalboard > small/med amp > SM57 mic > Into a GLD-80 digital mixer
I mainly use single coil pickup telecasters.
There are lights on a dimmer but supposedly on a different circuit. I believe they are halogen bulbs.
I do get a little bit of noise while not playing on a normal basis with my amp setup but it is completely covered up while playing so its a non issue.
The issue I do have is that with the Kemper or the Amplifire modeler, is I always have a louder buzz that sits behind my notes. Its especially evident on single sustained notes.
The problem is slightly better with the lights off but its still there. I tried both the XLR to the PA and also the direct out to a JDI direct box. It happens with both.
The buzz is only there while I play and with the guitar volume off there is no noise. I'm puzzled why I have a bigger noise issue going direct in as opposed to a normal mic'd amp. Its noticeably different and a complete deal breaker until I find a remedy. I have no issues at all at home with the Kemper and its not an issue of the device. The tones sound great through the PA but the buzz is bad. I also tried the ground lift, no change. I do have a humbucker guitar I am going to try but I really prefer to use my telecasters.
I love the Kemper and really want to use it live!!!
I will have a look into this.
We see that the fx loop level might be to hot. We might have a modification with an upcoming firmware,
That would be fantastic.
