If you want to use the master volume knob to control just the level of the monitor out you simply need to deactivate the volume links for the other outputs in the output menu.
Ok didn;t think fof that. Good call.
But how is the master volume controlled then for FOH (Main Output)?
That has no volume control linked anymore in that case. Or is there a soft-volume control available in the menu?
Hi,
I know this has been discussed a lot but not exactly my question so I'll give it a try here.
I'm using the Kemper (Powerrack!) on a regular guitar cab (ENGL 4x12 Pro) connected through the speaker output (with CAB emulation off).
If available I'd like to offer FOH signal too connected to the Main Output (with CAB emulation on).
With regards to the Master Volume (upper control) and regular Volume (lower control right from the display) what I understood from the manual and this forum is:
- The regular Volume controls the overal volume of a rig in browser or performace mode and is saved with the rig.
This volume can be used to level the volume between rigs.
- The Master Volume is the total volume of the entire device. If you crank it up all rigs will be cranked up to say so.
Question 1:
Is the above correct? Do I understand this correctly?
Question 2:
Let's say at a gig I'm using my cab on the speaker out (CAB emu off) and instead of mics offer the Main Output (with CAB emu on) to the PA.
If duing the gig I want to change my total volume on the cab to a level I like I need to use the Master Volume because I want to control the total volume that affects all rigs.
The problem with this is that this also will affect the FOH volume on the Main Outputs causing stress at the FOH engineers.
Is there a way to change the overall level on the CAB without affecting the volume level for FOH?
It's kind of a need for freedom in stage-volume.
I hope my question is clear and I hope this is possible with the KPA.
Thanks in advance.
I had this too but it appeared to be my noise gate stomp box.
It would allow any sound to pass untill the configured level.
But I also understand your problem is de soundlevel doesn't react linear to the pedal momevent.
I have the same experience with the expression pedals on my FC300.
So I think there are two possible areas for research:
1) Is is because of NR/Gate?
2) Does the pedal you use act linear with the Kemper sound.
This sounds way better than the sounds in you first post.
What did really solve your problem you mentioned in the first post?
Ok. Thanks for the replies. My question is answered.
Hi,
I know with 'normal' amps that it's dangerous to use the amp without a speaker connected to it because you can blow up the poweramp due to impedance mismatch.
Does this also apply for the Kemper?
Sometimes I like to use a headphone, but connecting a headphone does not mute the other outputs so I need to disconnect the speaker cable.
Is that safe with the Kemper or could it harm the amp?
Thanks in advance.

Display MoreThe profiles are studio profiles. I was focusing on variety when making them just with the 53 profiles, but I've found that swapping out cabs from other profiles to be no issue. They are still full of clarity.
In terms of the EQ, the main focus for me doing this is for people recording guitars in the studio. I just wanted to go into as much detail as possible under the microscope with these tones.
I'm extremely confident in the quality of the source tone (the profile without EQ) but inevitably within a mix there are a few things that usually happen. First off is some lo/hi pass filtering to clear up some unwanted sub bass and ultra airy/fizzy high end. Then I search for any whistling or ringing frequencies (most notably around 3.2 or 4k) and I notch these out. Bare in mind some of those frequencies (to my ears) are always an issue to me, even when I've been sent 'perfect' tones to mix by great engineers with great gear that's recorded well. This isn't specific to my tones. So the EQ isn't a crutch for the profiles, just fine tuning. Some profiles may have other areas that I wanted to clean up, for example Orange amps low mids around 300-450ish is usually somewhere I make some cuts.
It's mostly subtle EQ changes in the grand scheme of things. It's very much a fine tuning thing. If you turn the EQ off you're still left with a great profile. I'd say the beauty of this pack is that this EQ is only there if you want it. You can turn it off or play around with it. It's just there to help people with their mixes.
If you want to use these profiles live, removing all of these EQs and replacing them with your effects won't make a huge difference. You may not even notice the difference in a live environment.
Personally live, my main rhythm tone will be dry with these EQ patches on, then if I want a lead sound with chorus, delay and reverb I can remove any EQ, boost a little mids on the 'amp' part of the Kemper and it still sounds great. I know plenty of guys who even use a completely different amp profile for their lead tone.
Thanks for the kind comments guys!
PS - I've had my Peavey XXX amp modded to bypass the built in noise gate/anti hum so it profiled properly. Before anyone asks who's familiar with this head and tried to profile it.
I think this pack rules!
Awesome sound.
You were talking about switching cabs shouldn't be a problem.
I have an ENGL 4x12 Pro slanted loaded with Vintage 30s.
Do you think there would be a noticible difference in sound?
Right. On the destination too I relize now. That worked fine. Thanks for the quick help.
This topic can be closed.
Yeah I thought so too but that didn't work.
The copy/paste buttons flash but the stomp is not being moved.
Hi,
The subject says it all.
How do I move a stomp box from one slot to another?
I forgot to put a pedal I want to have in Stomp A but A, B and C are occupied. So I want to move C to D, B to C, A to B and add the new pedal in A.
I figured out I can save the existing stomps as a module and then load them in the correct stomp slots, but I was wondering whether moving them is possible without saving them as modules first.
Thanks in advance.
o wait. I should be in the system menu I see now.
There is a big BUT, namely that for this I had to change the CC to #11 on th FC300 which makes this pedal unusable as volume padal for all other rigs.
Is it possible to obtain the same situation without having to sacrifice the volume functionality for the other rigs?
The black bar in
Display MoreMauce, what you need to do is:
1) Move your exp pedal to heel position, tailor your tone.
2) Move your exp pedal to toe position. Notice that small black bar on the screen that moves all the way to the right.
3) Adjust the gain as desired.
4) Save the profile.
Now, whenever you move the exp pedal to heel position, it will be your original setting, and at toe, it will be the morphed setting.
Cheers!
when should I start with step 1? From what situation?
The bar mentioned in step 2 is not showing.
Did anyone succeed in assigning gain control in a morph function to one pf the expression pedals?
I'd like to use the left expression pedal to control the amount of gain in a certain rig
I'm running the FC300 in standard mode
I've changes the CC# for thah pedal to #11 in the FC300 settings and I can see the pedal movement in the system settings on the kemper. But how do I assign the gain control?
An additional question: can this be saved per rig? Because in one rig I'd like to use the pedal for volume and in another for gain control.
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance!
Here's an attempt at profiling the Gallien Krueger and I played a "sort of almost 2 Minutes To Midnight" riff

This amp just sounds so muffled at boring. It's nothing like the epic tone of Somewhere In Time.
It doesn't have the same bite at all. Sure I have different guitar and pickups than Adrian (for example) but it's not terribly different.
Tried a lot of microphone positions and nothing worked to get it right.
Would be interesting to run the amp section through a combo power section going to a 4x12 Marschall cab, I could try it but since it's not my amp I wont do it, they are also getting the amp back soon since the album production is mostly finished.
I like the sound! Nothing wrong with that, really! But like you side it still miles away from their sound.
But we have to realize that the sound we're looking for is the sound after mixing and producing so maybe that's not really fair.
Besides that IM uses quite a lot of delay and chorus (and compression too I think).
Display MoreSeventh Son and Somewhere In Time is not Marschalls
They are recorded with Gallien Krueger solidstate amps.

Actually, I have a GK amp at home right now, borrowed of a band. However, no matter how I tweak it, I cannot get the sound close to any of the albums. Actually, miced up, it sounds BAD, plain and simple. With direct in and use of IR cabs, I can get usable sounds.
However, the GK I have at the moment is far from the above picture, but I believe it's the same amp section, tho
http://i68.tinypic.com/152hmj5.jpg
I think the "suckyness" of this amp comes from the 10" speakers, but not sure.
The idea was to reamp a band I'm producing an album for at the moment, they wanted to get close to that exact Somewhere In Time tone.
IMPOSSIBLE with stock speakers, absolutely impossible.
I had to line the signal, then use Ozone EQ match to get somewhere close,
however, I didn't go 100% on the EQ match, just 50% or so to keep a somewhat "unique" tone
Wow that sound you really put some effort in it.
Do you have any soundclip available with your current sound?
Hi,
I've been searching on the forum and found a few post about the Iron Maiden sound but I could find a good profile.
Yes they play Marshalls (JMP1 and JCM800 I think) but so far a real good Kemper profile could not be found.
I'm especially interested in their sound on Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and Somewhere In Time albums.
Very middy, with lots of delay and chorus.
I tried to make one myself but it's very difficult to get their sound.
Has anyone build a Kemper Rig for this sound?
Thanks in advance.
This is my latest axe, Brent Hinds Epihone with Lace Hammerclaws. Very hot pickups.
Check it in action here (using Kemper profile):
Hi
I'm new to Kemper but am learning each day.
Today I used JEVO's 5150 profile to build my first rig and made a short clip playinng riffs.
I had a bit latency issues with my Focusrite Scarlet 2i4.
I tried to create a tight powermetal sound
Let me hear what you think of it.
Any tips are welcome
Thanks!
