Hey!
I think it would be very useful to have the option to turn the Cabsim AND the Ampsim off on one output.
I would love to use the Kemper in conjunction with a real amp.
(Using the Kempers effect section, so that if I e.g. turn on a booster, it gets louder on Kemper main out AND on the amp.)
To me this would seem like one of the most obvious use cases of a Kemper. Certainly a very useful one
There's already a "Cabinet Off" switch for the Monitor Out - if an "Amplifier Off" switch was added, that would exactly do what i want (maybe still having an issue with level and impedance going straight into an amp input - but one could dial in a low level on that output or use a reamping box).
As far as I know however, that configuration is not really possible rn.
...I know, you could:
- use the Monitor Out with Cabsim Off into a power amp and from there into a cab (which is cool and I use that)
- use the Monitor Out with Cabsim Off into the FX Return of an amp (...which in my experience doesn't work with some amps, humming issues etc.. And in any case you won't get the sound of the amp you're going into, by fully bypassing the preamp section, and instead kind of having the sound of two power amps, the simulated one still going into the real one)
- use the Send output with DI Analog into the Input of the Amp, however losing everything the Kemper does (gates, effects, etc.), it's essentially a splitter then
- disable the Ampsim on the Kemper altogether
But what I'd loke to do specifically is having an Amp on stage (with it's preamp sound and everything) but using the Kempers effects.
While still being able to send the Ampsim (...the normal Master signal) to the FOH (so they have a clean nice signal and as an added bonus a second Amp sound to work with).
So having a routing option with "Effects only" or "Stack Off" or an "Amplifier Off"-switch on an output ...in a best case scenario with level and impedance suitable for amplifier inputs, just like the "DI Analog"... would solve all my problems with the Kemper and really expand the range of possibilities.
I know btw. that this would put all of the effects (also the one that on the Kemper are after the Stack, where the Send/Return would be on a real amp) in front of the Amp. But that really wouldn't matter to me. And furthermore there would obviously just be the possibility to also routing options for using the Send/Return on the real amp.
Please correct me if that routing option already exists somehow (I'm pretty sure it doesn't but at the same time almost can't believe it because it's so obviously useful).
Thank you, David
