Morph can address a good bit of this.

Nah. The port will only give what it can.
No worries.
-
Yep. That port was never meant to charge anything.
Kemper has said something akin to "If it works for you great....but that's mostly dumb-luck and may not continue."
-
I wonder if some stereo unit with midi control of volume exists?
Although this has been discontinued - a MIDI capable expression pedal could do what he wants and have zero impact on the signal chain.

Sorry, i didn't explain well...
I'd like to stack a pedal profile, a DI profile and a cab profile. Today, I need three kemper to do it but i have only one.
Too me a cab profile is a good way to improve cab section. Because cabs are non linear things and IRs are linear. The non linearities are very accurate with a profil.
I hope i explained my though better.
Quad Cortex can do the stacking now, as can the Headrush Prime (I think)
At least in the case of the Headrush.....you need a ton of processing power to keep the latency from getting out of control. I don't think the QC has this issue.
As for cabs, probably better off using a Two-Notes for in-depth cab stuff.

Where ever I played since I play Kemper (2015), the men on the desks offered XLR to connect.
Never got quarter inch cables.
That has as much to do with the standard connectors audio desks use than anything else. There's a reason Kemper included both XLR and 1/4" TS main outs.
The only viable, no compromise option I can see to get you exactly what you want is a stereo pedal into a stereo direct box, out to FOH. An XLR equipped volume pedal just doesn't exist.
Obviously, do what is right for you. Your music, your gear.
But the amount of extra cabling you'll need is nuts. 2 longer runs from the Profiler to the pedal in front of you, 2 from the pedal to the direct box and then 2 more from the direct box to FOH. That's not only complex, but introduces a bunch of new places for stuff to go wrong.
If you're concerned about sonic changes with placing a pedal after the guitar but before the input, I think you should look at one of the Lehle pedals. It isn't just a volume pot stuck in the middle like an Ernie Ball. There's a reason those things are $300+.

Thanks so far.
I didn't find any volume pedal with xlr until now.
As written before, t he best solution would be:
Kemper company makes it possible, to configure 2 expression pedals as 2 different volume pedals in the Kemper.
Unfortunately for your situation, given that three or four options already exist, the chances of that happening are pretty much zero.
The closest option would be a quality stereo pedal using standard quarter inch cables. You’ll never hear the difference. Not with a guitar signal.
Why are you so concerned about having XLR? -
I’ve never even heard of a volume pedal with XLR, much less a stereo version.
There is no sonic difference between TS and XLR. Not for guitar, anyway. All XLR gets you is a bit more noise rejection in some situations. -
An analog volume pedal after the Kemper is going to change the sound as well. It won't matter one bit if they're XLR or not. Nevermind the dual cable runs for stereo adding their own 'flavor'.
A quality pedal such as the Lehle is going to be as pristine as you can get.
-
You talk about these for example?
You know what, I thought I have tested those but once again when I checked it, it seems like I have more of these than the last time i played. Strange, but yeah it partially answers my question. Thanks!
Yep - that's the stuff I was referring to.
Have fun!! -
This whole area will enjoy prominent attention in the next OS 10.0 introducing Liquid Profile.
-
There are a ton of presets baked into the Profiler.
Have you tried those? -
How so?
I personally know of no one using a 2 year old Windows OS (equivalent to Monterey) on a machine from 2011 (or older) with the identical configuration it shipped with. I'm not suggesting someone isn't, just that I'm not aware of it.
-
Apple do seem to love rendering their expensive hardware useless after a few years.
I certainly get your meaning, but that doesn't sound like Apple's fault. Could they have made it backwards compatible? Probably...but they also don't support an OS more than three versions back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for useless......I'm still running two 12 year old Macs that were purchased new. The iMac is on its second hard drive and requires a video card swap to update beyond High Sierra. Doable, but not for the faint hearted. The Air went to Monterey without issue. It runs a little hot, but loading a 2 year old OS onto a 12 year old machine? I'm surprised it runs at all.
In comparison, Windows machines tend to not age well.

What about a expression pedal set to morph rig volume?
If it's got to be a stereo volume pedal - Lehle is expensive, but would top many peoples' best list.
Korg makes a burly stereo pedal as well that's not as pricey. XVP-20.
-
That's not what I want!!!
I was just asking the question.
-
Why not an expression pedal set to volume and put it where ever you want in the path? One cable and WAY more options.
-
I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s been *forever* since I did it. I think it’s my brain defaulting to pretty much every amp I’ve had or plugged into.
The input is on the left.That, and I’ve been using the headphone out for USB audio.
Sat there for longer than I care to admit thinking “What am I missing?” -
if you’re in an apartment or close-quarters housing - Headphones.
As has been said, attenuators can (and would) do damage. The Profiler uses a Class D amp, and devices like the OxBox are specifically for tube amps. Very, very different animals.
