How to use Kemper Efx as pedals into front of Vox Amp.

Hi,

Been using the Kemper for years and love it. Thanks to everybody involved in the design to make that happen.

I have a question, I want to use the Kempers effects only as part of my pedal chain to go into the input of my Vox AC 30 amp.

I dont want to use as a send and return ( loop) because Im using that for the JHS Little Black Amp Box which is like a attenuator.

Not sure how to set this up. Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

disable the STACK, that should do it

Oh ok thanks will try when home. What output would I use from the Kemper to the Vox input.

Just stick it in the FX loop or even better run it 4CM. Remove the JHS and turn down the master volume instead. The Little Black Box isn’t an attenuator but just another volume control doing exactly the same thing as the amp’s master volume.

To avoid changing any Main or Monitor Output settings, I would use the Direct Out, set to Master Mono.

Adjust the Direct Out output level to be the same guitar volume when all stomps/fix are bypassed in the KPA as when the guitar is directly connected to the Vox.

Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated.

paults seems to work best for my setup...........fires brute force into the Vox, sounding so sweet and powerful even at room volumes.

Usually I have the Kemper through the studio monitor speakers, which sounds tonal perfect to my ears.

Now with this option thru the Vox it opens up more fiddling options...haha...and dont we all just know how we love those choices...Lol

The Vox will always have its own special greatness with a touch of a blues pedal here and there which can never be matched Imho and that setup is used a lot her..... but this option now with the Kemper firing love into it is the beez kneezzz ( wish I realised it sooner )

Cheers
