    I have the same issue, bought another new midi mongoose, still not consistently working properly and cant tell why. Once it starts working , its fine though

    Hi, ive been using a Tech 21 midi mongoose and changing my kemper patches fine until after about 6 months it has become intermittent. I can never tell if the footswitch is going to work or not. Once it starts working it is ok for the whole gig. I've tried turning both on and off, changed the order of plugging it in etc. Assuming It was the mongoose I bought another new mongoose and the problem is still there. I am no expert in MIDI but it feels like they are not talking/getting a handshake or something is out of sync at times and the Kemper and the Footswitch stop talking to each other. I have the Kemper on omni and Mongoose on channel 1 and have tried all options of midi channels on both the Kemper and Mongoose and changed midi cables. Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated. thanks!


    update 30/9/19 . I am also running latest kemper software and in performance mode. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks

    Just reporting back to say i'm sorry, I tried but could not get any information from my countries importer as to what caused that problem with my original Kemper. The store I bought it from hinted to me that it may have been an internal grounding issue with the Kemper. My replacement unit has not had any problems.

    Original poster said he did a full reset, and even tried a newer (latest) OS.

    This is a little concerning as someone considering using the Kemper as a live unit. Reading about quite a few ‘issues’ that would prevent successful use in a live performance environment lately...


    I hope the OP follows up with what the issue/resolution was/is.

    I have had my Kemper replaced and the new unit is working well so far. When I can find out what the problem was with my old one ( assuming I can have access to that information) I will post back here.

    Hi, John


    that is very interesting that you have the same issue. The store I bought my kemper from has been amazing and helpful and given me a new replacement already, they are sending the broken one back to the importer to fix/check out. If I find out what the problem was I will let you know.

    My Kemper has started making this hideous noise, sounds a bit like white noise combined with very loud digital distortion. ill attach an mp3 file of it. This started happening a few weeks ago randomly and after a few minutes it would go away and the kemper would work. Now the noise is permanently there. With nothing plugged in except the power lead and a set of headphones. If I plug a guitar in it will combine the noise with the guitar signal but the noise is extremely loud and the kemper is unusable. This kemper is 4 months old and i purchased it new, non powered rack version. Ive restored to factory and also updated to new operating software. Any help much appreciated
