Plug it into the pedal/switch input on the rear and choose from the system menu that the pedal controls wah
You also must have an active wah effect in your profile. -
I didn't know the Kemper would do this with an actual Wah pedal - most systems require an expression pedal and won't use an old wah pedal as a controller.
Cool if the Kemper can do this. I don't have mine quite yet so this will be another thing I'll try

I'd recommend using an expression pedal to control the internal wah wah in the kemper.
Some offer many functions and adjustments. -
I don't believe a wah pedal will work to control the wah in the Kemper. As stated previously you'll need an 'expression' pedal.
I really like my Mission Engineering pedal (Kemper edition).
You can still run your wah connected to the KPA with your guitar.

Yes, I'm sure about that as well. Sorry I didn't read right that you own a real wah pedal. -
Thanks I will price a expression pedal my kemper unit is arriving tomorrow can't wait

Check at the Dunlop DVP3 VolumeX. It works flawlessly and is built like a tank. It has multiple uses but I have been using it exclusively as an expression pedal with the KPA. -
Thanks for clarifying on this
If you have an old wah that you don't want, you can actually convert it to an expression pedal if you're OK with a soldering iron:-

It's a good link anyway (IMO) as it tells you all you need to know about expression pedals
For my Strymon stuff (Timeline and Mobius) I ended up buying one of these http://www.sourceaudio.net/products/toolb…ssion_pedal.php which is pricey but feels good and has the benefit of 2 separate outputs.
This means I can connect it to both Strymon units or, when my Kemper arrives, I can connect it to the Kemper plus one of the Strmons.....
Yes, I know you don't typically want to adjust delay mix at the same time as chorus depth (or whatever) but because you can assign per patch what it does then it becomes very useful whilst minimising floor space.
