Thanks - looking forward to hearing the next files.

Okay you guys are geniuses! Sooooo much better. I made sure I used (non/TRS cables. I zeroed out any gain reduction. Besides some intonation issues (my fault) It sounds much better. No effects this time...it seems I didn't have them all off last time.
-
Sorry I gave the wrong patch... it was actually P-Tone 145 by B. Ruppert
He did have a pitch effect on the original with a delay. It was perfectly Bare this time.
-
That sounds so much better. Good thing you got it sorted. Where do you find that P-Tone rig by B. Ruppert?
-
I think its out of the Rig Exchange. I will show you my favorite patch of all... If you don't mind my crappy playin.

It is VH1 by Top Jimi.

Oops it was my modified patch of his...tell me how to get it out of my kemper and I will share it with you
-
I took the model and added my own IR cab, and tweaked the sound a bit.
-
<taken down>
-
Sorry - wasn't trying to get you to share a commercial profile. Better take that down.
-
okay don't download it people. That brings up an interesting point though...It was in the rig exchange, I added a IR cab and tweaked it...so at what point do you call it your own? We had this same problem with synthesizer patches years back...you take a factory preset, modify it and share it...nobody ever thought anything about it. Im not selling or even putting my name on it.
-
My bad. If it was free don't worry. Just couldn't find it there so assumed it was commercial.
-
Glad you sorted it out!

Yup, TS connection from the KPA OUT to an instrument input at your interface is the way to go. If you need a balanced signal, just hook up the XLR ouputs
-
First thing to always try in cases like this is to plug in straight to the Kemper headphone amp with a pair of headphones you know well. This can help eliminate routing as the source of the problem.
Another thing I've seen people do if they really think there's a problem with the unit (besides contacting support) is to upload a DI track along with the KPA track (same take, if possible). Ideally, use a factory stock profile so any other users on the forum can attempt to reproduce the problem, or just re-amp it on their system and post the results.
-
Very cool that the suggestions have sorted you out.
I always find these cases strange as I cant get it to sound bad. I tweak nothing.
Question: I'm using the main outs with XLR- TS cables to my interface. Am I correct to say these are unbalanced? It certainly doesn't sound bad to my ears. Would I be better off using standard TS - TS jacks?
Peace

It's better to use Line input for KPA OUT Line levels. Instrument input can clip ant it is designed for high impedance instrument pickup.

I'd say that's what he meant, Damian. I've seen many musicians (not engineers) refer to TS / TRS's as instrument jacks as opposed to mic plugs / leads.
IOW, to the "layman" there're basically two flavours of jacks or leads - instrument and mic. Most aren't aware of amp->speaker leads and high-Z desk and interface inputs.
You're correct of course; just proposing a logical explanation for the Verminante statement.

Actually it is mostly a community thing, we have tons of respect for the commercial profile makers, thats the reason you dont see tons of illegal download codes or torrents out there with thousands of commercial profiles. It might get taken down, but we appreciate you take it out if it is commercial. I am glad you fought back the phase issue, for me it worked wonders out of the box, but depending on your sound chain, things can get a bit messy with phases on the several mixes.
