Using FX pedals with the Kemper - would this make things sound better?

  • Hello all,

    I have no problem with FX pedals before the Kemper input. But if I use them in the loop or after the Kemper I get problems with overloading and noise.

    I 'think' this is because the Kemper outputs line level and the wrong impedance for most stomp boxes which expect to see instrument level.

    So I was wondering if this would be the solution:

    http://www.radialeng.com/prormp.php

    It converts line level to instrument level and adjusts the impedance. I was thinking the chain would be:

    Gutar>pedals>kemper>line out>prormp>fx pedals>interface

    What do you think would this work?

    Thanks

  • Thanks but I have tried that! Extensive testing in fact. I don't think the Kemper effectively changes the impedance/levels for pedals in the loop. Getting extra noise and tonal changes. Extensive testing with different levels but I think a specialised box like the radial might do a better job of giving pedals what they want to see.
