Level output of rigs in performance mode

I would like a feature that make the output levels even within a performance and between performances. Say you have all 5 slots filled and you select the "Make output levels even" function based on one of the rigs. This would be an nice feature to prepare for stage use. After the levels are made even it would be easier to add Lead rig with say 5db increase.

Good idea. If not a "normalise" function, perhaps it would be a good idea to have some sort of level meter within the Kemper to show the level of output on an individual profile. That way we could get them at least 80% right before doing final tweaking for the stage.

When all the gain blocks in a profile (boosts, EQs, compressors, cabs, volume...) are set to 0, the Profiler already provides for evening levels out. This would be the first way to level out volumes across rigs.

When, despite the above, there's a huge perceived difference in level, specially when it occurs between a clean and a distorted profile, it's a matter of average Vs. peak level: a clean guitar has got a much lower average level much much stronger peaks as well. This makes very hard for the Profiler to automatically equalize levels since it strongly depends on how hard you pick (for the clean).
