Hey Gang,

I had something happened the other night in rehearsal that is concerning. The Kemper mysteriously shut off when I made a slight adjustment to my rig and went to store it. It almost seems like the software "crashed". I had to shut off and re-boot and everything was fine. This also happened one other time when I was just playing. I ddi not touch anything on the Kemper but it shut itself down. Has anyone had this happen to them? I am now super feverous to bring this thing out LIVE to a gig. I am using he powered head with foot controller.

Thanks in advance.

Got it! Sounds a lot better for sure. I wish there was a way to control the GAIN separate from the main outs going to the recorder to the gain used through the guitar cab. I know you can have separate EQ but there is no way to adjust the gain seperate is there?

Thanks again for your help!

In the OUTPUT SECTION I have the "monitor cab off" CHECKED. Now on the front panel are you saying to "enable" the cab button s it's in use and that will put the cab on the main outs going to the recorder but not going to my guitar cab?

Thanks for clarifying!

Hello fellow Kemper users!

So I am new to the Kemper and working my way through it. I have a senior that I need help setting up. I am using a powered toaster on performance mode going through my 2x12 guitar cab. I have the cab button off so I am not hearing the cab that was recorded in the profile. In the room playing with my band the rig sounds amazing and I am constantly getting compliments on how the Kemper sounds! so now we want to record our band rehearsals so here is where I am having issue.

I am plugging the left 1/4 main out to the input on my audio interface to record the guitar. It records fine but when I listen back to the recorded guitar it sounds way too buzzy or gainy if that makes sense. I am not sure why it sounds so radically different than what it would sound like if I were to just mic up the guitar cab. That would be sort of bypassing one of the features of using a Kemper right? So I am not sure what I am doing incorrect. I went through the output menu and everything looks correct from what I can tell.

guess my first thing is to ask how do I ensure that the cab sim is being used to record the guitar but is not being used when playing back through my guitar cab i the room? It may be that I have it off and that why the recored guitar sound like crap.....lol

Thank is advance

Funny, I just posted this same question about a week ago in another thread. I am glad to see I ma not the only one to want a serrate volume control for the Looper. That would be a really nice feature and I hope they add it in the next firmware update.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but....

1. Looper volume control.
2. Metrodome

Thanks for the quick reply. So there is not a separate volume control for the looper itself correct? I guess your right in saying to record the loop at a lower level and jam over the loop with a slightly louder level.

is there a way that after i record a Loop to control the volume of that loop separate from my guitar as I am jamming over it or are both the recorded loop and guitar volume the same and can't be adjusted?

Thanks in advance.

I got it figured out....it was simple. Thank you. So now I have my rig on switch 1 and switches 2-5 are disabled so if I accidentally it one of them while trying to turn on the effects buttons they won't change out the rig. Works well!

Thanks!

Not sure I understand on "how" to do that in the KPA. Can you direct me?

Hi gang

i added a pure solo boost and assigned it to one of the effects switches on the remote so I can boost the volume for solos. I see on the Kemper it's being placed before the reverb and delay in the chain can I move the order so the boost comes after the reverb and delay? I can seem to figure out how to move the order of the effects in the rig.

Thanks in advance

Hey gang,

is is it possible to lock out switches 2-5 on the remote so you can't accidentally switch your rig when playing live? I have my rig on switch 1 and for now nothing on 2-5 however, when I step on the effect switches which are directly above the main 5 switches, I sometimes hit either button 2 or 3 and it shuts off my rig

thanks in advance

Great tip! Thank you

Thank you Don - I will try that. I appreciate you help!

Hey Gang!

Just got my remote yesterday. Quick question. I know I can assign an effect to one of the 4 effect buttons on the remote so they ca be turned on/off from the remote. Can you also just program the delay to do the same thing? For example if I am playing in Performance mode or Browser mode and have a have a rig on assigned to button 1 on the remote and for going into a solo I want to just simply turn on a delay effect and maybe boost the overall volume 1-2DB to get it to cut through. How simple is this to accomplish?

Thanks in advance!

BTY, I checked out some of your older YT videos on the Slate Raven, how's it working for you now with Studio One 3.XX ? I'm still on the fence about it.

I actually sold off the Raven.....it did not do it for me. Thanks for watching my other videos!

Hey gang! I had no idea I could have purchased the remote directly from Kemper. I would have done that if I had known about it. Sweetwater took good care of me and did the exchange so now i have a new powered head with remote!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I tend to ramble a bit in my videos but I really try to explain and make things a simple as possible. I try to go into detail and not try to cram everything into a 5 min video. I plan on doing a lot of Kemper videos as my schedule allows. Hopefully 1 per week at least.

Thanks for watching and supporting my channel

Thank you! Worked perfectly!

Hey Gang,

New Kemper owner here! Last week I purchased my Kemper powered head from Sewwtwater.com (amazing dealer, Thanks Josh!). I did not purchase the floor remote at the time as I wanted to ensure I was loving the Kemper first before making another $600 investment. Anyway, I love my Kemper and decided to go ahead and get the remote. I called Sweetwater and asked to order the remote and they said that you can't purchase the remote separately and can only purchase it as part of a package deal when you buy the Kemper amp. They said that was a thing that was created by Kemper and not Sweetwater. Thank god I purchased this from Sweetwater and not on E-bay or some place like that. My sales engineer let me return the Kemper I originally purchased and sent me a new Kemper with he remote included.

That seems a little strange that Kemper would not allow Sweetwater to sell the remote as a stand alone piece of gear? I don't know if anyone else knows about this but I wanted to give people a heads up just so they can do their research. I did look on Reverb.com and there are a couple of US dealers selling the remote by itself but the prices vary and I think one of them was "used".
