  • Power Amp Problem ?

    Separate from this feed going a little off topic about using the wrong jack, my toaster is doing this now - and it's definitely plugged into the correct output, with the right settings - as it was working fine, then yesterday, started this stuff.

    It sounds like it isn't pushing enough power and is gating it - I've tried with all stomps and fx and stacks off - and it still does it.

    Can anyone update what had to happen with theirs to work - did it require shipment to Germany - turn around times???

  • Master Volume Knob Showing Power Amp

    Thanks for the reply.


    I'm not running OS7 yet (is that still in beta?), so maybe it was slid into "Release 6.0.0.14574" and I never noticed till I started tweaking the output settings again. I'm not always the most observant. Ha!

  • Master Volume Knob Showing Power Amp

    Random question. What does your screen show if you turn the Master Volume knob? I could've sworn mine used to say Monitor, but now it says PowerAmp - I can control the monitor out level, but the indicator shows PowerAmp. I do have the powered toaster, but in the Output menu, page 7, it's turned off.


    Oh, and here's what is weird - The cable is plugged into Monitor Output on the back - but, if I turn the power amp on in the output settings, and let's say, set it to 6db boost, it affects the monitor out level / cable / signal. Is this right? I don't have anything plugged into the Speaker Output for the power amp.

    Am I losing my mind or did that used to say Monitor? I was playing with running a line out to an amp (just for fun), and tweaking some settings in Output - did I change something? How do I change it back?

  • "A/B compare" & "Revert to Orig"

    I just logged in to start an A/B thread and found yours. I use snapshots, but that isn't the quickest way to hear edits instantly compared to the original. I would love an A/B option. Maybe there's room for it in the Rig settings so you can adjust all you want, go to rig and press a button to hear the original and back to the edits.

  • What equipment is in your rack units?

    I agree. Over $1200 (with tax) is hard to justify. It's crazy that they go up to $3100. I'm considering this one, but that's still $700.

    Really, I just can't stand noise in my signal and have tried the $200 and under options and want the Kemper to sound like it does in my home studio when I take it out for live work (I do a lot of orchestra pit work for musical theater productions, so noise isn't something that helps sound design).

  • What equipment is in your rack units?

    What if I went something like either of these? Furman P-1800 AR or Furman M-8X AR

    A lot of the reviews mention quieting noise. I know reviews are hit or miss, but this one sounds close to what I'm trying to accomplish:

    "After years of going gig to gig and having my guitar rig go from being dead quiet at one venue to noisy (hiss, 60 cycle hum, etc.) at the next, I finally bit the bullet and bought the Furman P-1800 AR. Now my rig is dead quiet everywhere I perform."

  • What equipment is in your rack units?

    I don't use a rack unit (I have the toaster) and could use some help cleaning up the electricity I'm connecting to.

    I might try the Furman AC-215A listed above. I do a lot of orchestra pit work, and some of the theaters I work in have horrible power - often mixed with lighting and other things, and my gear goes wild when the lights are on/off/etc...

    I've tried a Monster Pro Power 2500, Hum X, Furman SS-6B 6-outlet Power Strip, and changing ground lifts (and sometimes removing using an adapter). It works ok on a modeling unit like a Roland GR-55 or Boss GP-10 (especially if I use the midi cable) - but the Kemper has better sounds, and I've been trying to use that more often, but get a wicked buzz from theater power.

    Any suggestions on getting a good clean signal? I'll admit, I don't know a lot about the electric side... At home, all my profiles are very clean.

  • Swap / Move Effects

    Excuse this post if it was already asked, and if so, please let me know where... I searched but couldn't find this topic and I'm new to both the forum and my Kemper (about a month).

    Is there a way to move stomp / effect slots - essentially reordering the signal chain? I know there is a copy / paste, which I believe works if I want to move from Effects slot 4 to 1.


    But, let's say each slot is full. Can I move one slot with the other, to re-arrange them into a different order?


    Thanks
