Kemper Effects

cdtabman1 · January 19, 2012 at 7:51 AM

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a Kemper but also thinking of staying with my current Vox AC4 for playing at home and buying a few effects. What is the quality of the effects, particularly chorus and delay?

Thanks

All FX are absolutely top-notch, really hi-level. Chorus and delays are warm and 3d, the spillover works perfect. I'm not feeling the need for external fx

Agree. FX are very high quality and really easy to use/tweak.

+1.

Only thing that sucks currently: No spillover when switching delay on and off, but I'm sure that will be fixed very soon in a future firmware

If you use CC #27 instead of #26 it will spillover, same for reverb, use CC #29 instead of #28. In both case it put the mix at 0 instead of switching the FX off

Yes I use it this this way on my Midi Board an it works perfect with spillover. But it only works as an on or of switch.
I really would be happy if I Could use an expression pedal instead for increase or decrease the amount in the mix

To be implemented soon, they are still working on the midi side...

Good idea!

Well, is on the Reference Manual....

Btw... I tried to use those CC as a real mix value (for like 0 = 0% and 127 = 100%). Doesn't work for me. Only on/off via mix.

Yes, I know. CC is not yet fully implemented
