Volume Pedal Issue

    Hi all,

    An issue thats been bugging me for a while.

    After finishing a performance, I then put my volume pedal down into heel position before scrolling up to the next performance with the remote. When I load the new performance, although the volume pedal is in heel position, there will always be a small amount of volume present. It usually takes a full sweep of the pedal to re-calibrate it again.

    I have checked all my settings including pedal range.

    Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Thanks.

    Yeah. Its such a pain.

    When I go to the next performance/song, I would put the pedal down in heel position so the stage is not overcome with noise/feedback until I need to start playing the song.

    What I have to do for the time being is turn my guitar volume down after every song, bank up to the next performance, then do a couple of sweeps with the volume pedal.

    Doesnt always work as the band by then are usually launching into the next song whilst I fumble around having to re calibrate the pedal everytime.

    I was wondering to ditch using my expression pedal and just putting an Ernie Ball Vol pedal in the loop of the Kemper.

    Thanks for your reply anyways.

    Cheers

    I'm not too familiar with the volume pedal functions inside the KPA, so maybe there's already a workaround for this. Did you read the manuals of newer firmwares and search the forum?

    The first step to analyze such issues should always be to review the level of the pedal controllers on page "Pedal Links" in the System Settings.

    One possibility is: You are not using a dedicated expression pedal for volume, but a Wah Pedal and have volume linked to it. If you switch to another Rig with a Wah effect enabled, your pedal becomes a Wah Pedal and has no control over volume anymore. If your Pedal Volume is below 25% at that time, this is interpreted as user error and Pedal Volume is raised to 25%.

    Another possibility: You Volume Pedal Range varies by Rig and there are Rigs where it's not at -5. In that case your pedal does intentionally not mute your signal completely at heel.

    Perhaps you pedal has a control knob to limit it's minimum volume and that is not adjusted for maximum range.

    But again, that page should help you to analyze what's going on.
