Assign Expression Pedal to Amp Gain?

Eru · January 6, 2015 at 10:51 AM

Am I able to do this or can the pedal jacks on the back only be assigned to the options found when scrolling on page 4 of the system menu?

ATM only the options in the system menu.

Hence my feature request:

Please add "Expression pedal assignable to any parameter on a rig-by-rig basis" to the list of feature requests.

Post your support here.

Hmmm..... with the Remote coming, I think the request should be for ALL SIX expression pedals, and ALL FOUR switches

What's the Remote? I've been away too long I guess lol.

Kemper has been working on a foot controller for years. They've started dripping teaser photos on their Facebook and Twitter feeds and are collecting email addresses of those interested in pre-ordering one. They are now calling it the "Kemper Remote". Maybe they were too chicken to call it "KFC" as was the early name. At one point a user manual was on the website, and some good forum members posted the text for us. Some other members have done mockups of what we think it will look like. I think this post has the best summary and pics. Best guess is a price of 400 euro and released at NAMM this winter.

This will be possible using NRPN. I think the Kemper Remote is one of the devices that can do this, the other is the Roland FC300. All it should take is some midi programming skills. Of course, the feature might have to be unlocked first, it's not really possible now, or at least, I haven't heard of anyone doing it.

You can control the gain of a rig by sending CC#72 from a MIDI pedal.

There you go, guys. Assign your midi controller to the appropriate CC number (72), set the minimum and maximum range to be sent from 0 to 127 and you should be good to go.

It would be nice if those of us who use analog expression pedals plugged directly into the KPA could also enjoy this functionality.

waraba · January 8, 2015 at 7:40 PM

mates, the function is right here in your KPA, I use it a lot :

setup your exp pedal in system menu like you do with the wah
setup your gain at max desired gain level ( set up at lead level for me)
choose this fx : wah pedal booster ( type knob)
set the pedal range to MINUS 100

now adjust the gain by foot clean , dirty , lead ... with just one rig

one drawback = there is no volume compensation

Hey Renaud, the compressor in the Amp section is there for exactly this reason, if I get you correctly. Set it at will with a high value of gain, and when you lower the gain the volume will keep up.

Let me know

waraba: You saved my day!!!!

Since I changed the firmware of my fcb1010 to Uno4Kemper, the left pedal is stuck to the Wah CC, which I think is a pretty bad design decision. However, I was looking for a way to change the Gain during play. This is it!

cheers
