Recalling preset names.

Is there a way to tell what preset a Kemper drive or wah is after installing in a slot? Example: I put a "crybaby red" in a slot and later coming back to it I don't see any way of telling what preset I put in there. Same with Kemper drive. If I put the "Klon" or something in there and decide I want to try something else for a while and remember what I was using there is no way to tell what I was using short of writing down the parameters.

I was using the Crybaby and then decided I liked the Vox. Going back and looking in the slot I can't tell what is in there now or if I already changed it. Maybe I'm missing something?

Doesn't look like it. If I select Wah > Wah Vowel Filter > Frampton, RM only tells me it's a Vowel Filter not the sub preset "Frampton".

Right. Guess that needs to be a feature request.

Kemper have said repeatedly that they won’t do this because “as soon as you change any parameter it is no longer that preset”. However, I would definitely prefer that the preset name is shown UNTIL any parameter is adjusted.

As an older gentleman, I often can't remember why I came into a room, nevermind the preset names !

I see. Makes sense I guess but I never change anything with my wahs except for setting "off at toe" so I wouldn't think that would constitute editing. I'm not positive, but now that you mention it, I think if you don't touch it, and come back before moving off the profile it will read "editing preset XXX" Not sure about after you save it, I'll have to install a unaltered preset, save, then come back and see if it still reads the preset name. I know there are instances when it will, but not sure at what point it quits. Maybe it is like you said when ANY edits are done including "off at toe" etc.
