Boosting KPA with external OD/Boost pedals

Boosting the input will mainly result in more gain.
What issue are you experiencing?

You need to have the boost pedal post the amp section. To do this, place it in a loop of the Kemper in the X or Mod slot. If you have it before the amp, it will not result in as great a volume boost as after the amp and will also change your gajn structure to boot.

This! It's exactly like boosting a tube amp. Boosting the input will mostly result in more gain except the signal and amp are really, really clean and not cranked up. Use the loop like you'd normally do.

Just want to ask this here beacuse this is contrary to what I have found. Bear in mind I am a new user and have had the Kemper for 2-3 weeks.

What I have achieved best results with is running the boost in the stomp section, not the effects section, Surely if you put the boost pedal post-amp section then it will not be functioning as a boost pedal, where the whole point is to drive the input harder (or so I thought).

Or does TS mean that he was putting the boost between the guitar and the KPA input?

I think he uses the term 'boost' as in 'volume boost'.
guitar-lingo is wonderfully imprecise

Oh I see what you mean, makes sense now!

With a clean/semi-clean signal you will get a volume increase from a booster in the stomp section. This works until you reach a saturation point where you only increase gain not the volume by adding boosters before the amp section. This is why I always use a pure booster in the effects section to get a volume increase with a high gain profile.
