The way I do it is simply by copying/pasting the rig I like into any performance. All witin rigManager. Double clicking the performance sends it to the kemper.

There's a small bug (I think), where the name of the rig is not synced with the kemper. I usually force sync by double-clicking on a performance slot (disable/enable) then double clicking on another performance, and re-double-clicking on the initial performance where I pasted the copied rig. A bit painful and obscure, but it works...

Again, I don't have any rigs stored in my kemper. Only performances. All the rigs are on my computer, organised in rig Manager.

Ok, problem fixed. Thanks everyone, you guys rock!
I'm now using 2 Instrument cables, with Main Output set to Master Stereo. Headphone Space ticked off (to get the space parameter in headhones AND main outputs).
Glorious sound via my interface headphones out. Yessss!!!

According to Apogee, headphone Out impedance is 30 Ohms. Kemper is 33 Ohm.
As for the output tension, I have no idea, I'm really clueless in electronics.

Thanks Frodebro. Good to know.

I just realised by re-reading the manual that if I want the space parameter applied to the mains out, the button needs to be unticked. I'll try that as soon as.

I've tried stereo before, did not make a massive difference, if any. I'll try again when I get home, just to make sure.

Hi everyone,

I'm really impressed with the Kemper headphones output. Sounds incredible. Clear and wide.

Now, I can't say the same when I plug my headphones to my sound interface (Apogee Duet 2). Is there a way to get the same sound quality via my interface as with the Kemper Headphones out?

I don't think it's the use of "space" parameter. Even when "space" is deactivated, monitoring via the Kemper still sounds better than through my interface. The Apogee headphones out sounds good when monitoring music coming from my computer.
btw, I'm using the Kemper Master Output Left to Apoge Input 1, using 1/4 Inch Instrument cable (3 meters long). Would I benefit from using an XLR cable instead?

Another question... The Reference Manual says:
"By pressing the “Headphone Space” soft button, you can select whether it is applied to the HEADPHONE OUTPUT only, or to the MAIN OUTPUTS as well."
I don't see that feature on the Kemper (latest firmware).

As you can see in my avatar pic (1970'ish vintage silverface twin), I'm also a big fan of spring reverb.
Can't wait for the kemper team to add spring reverb to the fx list.

btw, I only had my kemper for a few days, I'm still amazed by the quality of the unit... Right now, I'm content with just amps + cab (from Mbritt mostly). Impressive stuff. Spring reverb will bring the unit to another level.

As per Ingolf's post, I re-calibrated my two expression pedals. It did the trick.
Dorrus, I'll take not of your tip as well.
Thanks guys for the good advice!

Just received my remote yesterday. Had a quick setup and test last night, all good for one hour of playing, no issue whatsoever.
Today I turn on the kemper, I play my guitar, as soon as the remote finishes booting up, the guitar sound cuts off completely. If I disconnect the remote I have no sound issue.

Could it be a bug (using the latest kaos and rig manager)? or a hardware issue (remote or cable issue)?

Reviving an old thread...
What happens when using both input 1 and 2 at the same time? say to connect a microphone via XLR and a guitar via unbalanced input 2?
Is the hiss still present because input 1 is set to "mic"?

Thanks Oliver. Good to know regarding free shipping. The website quotes 4 to 6 weeks for delivery to New Zealand. Is that accurate?
I still have my order open at Thomann, Toaster + Remote Controler, and they expect to receive the pack in 10 days.
I have been patiently waiting 50 days already, I'd rather wait another 10 days instead of ordering the toaster from Kemper and wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery, and then wait another 3+ months for the remote if ordered now from Kemper directly.

Quote from richh

I think the KPA would be free shipping from Thomann, as it would be well over their minimum order level for free shipping?

The Remote on its own may not be, but you might be able to add more bits to that order to get up to their free shipping level? …

I live in New Zealand and shipping is not free for the kemper.
Shipping fees are 50 Euros from Thomann or from Kemper. At today's rates that's around NZ$85, not cheap.

I thought about doing that, but I would have to pay shipping twice (50 Euro per shipping). At time of ordering, the estimated time was only 3 weeks, so I thought I could wait.

Thanks Ingolf,
I guess I just have to be patient and wait for my turn.

Hi everyone,

First post from me.

I ordered a kemper Lunchbox + remote a month ago from Thomann. The original availability was Aug 15th. Then a few days ago, it's been pushed 2-5 day. Then again pushed to Aug 29th. And today it shows Sept 11th.

Should I cancel my order and order directly from Kemper? Is the 3 months wait usually respected?
Or should I patiently wait and hope the kemper+remote will eventually get shipped from Thomann?

Thanks in advance for any advice
