Noise, overgained tones and hard to clean up tones.

Hi all,

I'm having some problems with my Kemper where using my Loomis sig guitar with EMG 57-7/66-7 where I'm really driving the input even when lowering the pickups quite a lot.

I know these are pretty hot pickups but I'm getting a lot of noise, overgaining and it's hard to get profiles to clean up when rolling down the volume control.

I have to have the clean and distortion senses down to their minimum to kind of clear it up and I don't think that's right. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks.

Not unheard of, just lower your clean sense to a level where it doesn't clip at the input. Going into yellow/orange is quite alright, though red is a no-no.

Use distortion sense thereafter if you want to lower the gain across multiple profiles. If it's just one or two profiles that are problematic, I'd lower the gain on them manually and see if it clears up.

You say you have problems getting the sound to clean up when lowering the volume knob. What is the gain of those profiles you're using?

How low do you go on the volume knob? you are talking about the volume control on your guitar, right?

Also are you using a wireless? I have to adjust my wireless output to match a normal 1/4" cable or everything goes red all the time.
