Using external Stereo effect causing previous blocks to become mono

One option might be to have the delays and reverb running in Parallel rather than Series. This is handled in the rig menu with the Delay/Rev routing parameter.

I'm thinking to take the stereo monitor outputs as the input to my external reverb but....the returns would have to be mixed external...not optimal.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

you could use the Aux-in function to add the return signal in stereo. Just make sure you turn down the Aux-in level for the monitor outputs in that scenario. Otherwise you would get feedback.

If you have a stereo pedal, you can add them on the Main outs.

I have stereo effects after my Kemper - works great. Sure, its alot of cables, but it works.

This works in general but seemed to cause a phasing issue.....really noticeable when i bypass the external effect. tried swapping left /right cables but..

The phasing issue goes away if i take my external effect output to an external mixer, summing the 2 on the mixer in stereo.

you have to set up the external effect to send only the wet signal to the Aux-in inputs. Mixing in the dry signal will cause phasing.

The only issue with this approach is where using the monitor out for personal monitor while sending main out to FOH. In this scenario the on stage monitor doesn’t get the external pedal. Obviously, doesn’t matter if a player isn’t using the monitor out though so definitely player specific.

I understand what you're saying. Having the external wet/dry control gives me a 2nd morph. Maybe one day Kemper will have that feature.

🤞🤞🤞

That would be awesome.
