TRS cables are used with Expression pedals.
A Volume Pedal connnected to the input of the KPA uses a TS cable.
-
Do I use the both pedals in the remote board. Same with TRS expression and TS for volume?
-
The Remote is designed for Expression Pedals only. You can configure an Expression Pedal to function as a volume pedal.
If you want to use a regular Volume Pedal (not an expression pedal), connect it to the Input of the KPA, not to the Remote.
-
Plus the Mission EP1 uses a TS cable if your using the wah switch.

True - a TS cable is used with that particular switch.
And, a TRS cable is used for a typical dual footswitch

Thanks guys.

Indeed Brother Ash, Paul's a Saint IMHO.

I guess use a TRS cable for my volume pedal into the remote board? TS for the actual amp?
Cheers?

You don’t use a volume pedal i to the remote. When you cntrol volume via the remote the pedal is acting as an expression pedal set to cntrol the volume parameter. There is no audio sIgnal going through the pedal. Also volume pedals usually have a log taper but expression pedals are linear. The KPA is set to cnvert the
linear taper of an expression pedal into a log taper in the software.

Don’t to argumentative but I’ve seen a video on YouTube. A cable uses from the remote pedal. I was checking which kind of cable.

I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. You use either TRS or tS with the remote depending on what kind of pedal you have attached. You can use TS for a single button footswitch but for epression pedal you need TRS. Some pedals like the Mission EP1have a TRS for the expression and a separate TS for the footswitch. However, you can’t connect a volume pedal to the remote unless you use a special splitter cable to make it function as an expression pedal. In this case you would have a TRS out of the Romet splitting to two separate TS connectors which go into the In and Out of the Volume pedal. This can work but is almost always a sub optimal outcome as the taper of a volume pedal isn’t ideal for use as an expression pedal.
You can use a volume pedal in front of the amp GTR (TS) > Volume Pedal (TS) > KPA Input (TS). However, if you are connecting to the inputs on the back of the remote you are using the pedal as an expression pedal. One of the things you can control with an cpression pedal is volume. Ther is a pedal “type” in the system menu for “volume” but it is software control of volume not an audio volume control so it still needs a TRS cable.

Brilliant. Cheers man. I’m using a Dunlop XL. A TRS into The Kemper remote board.
Thanks.
-
Yep EXP output on TRS into Remote - job done
-
I use an expression pedal to control volume and it seems to work reasonably well. I guess it depends on how "delicate" you need to be with it.
There is very little I do that's delicate...
I'll also add to the PaulTS love in...top man!

Awesome. Thanks guys.
