- ☑️ Profiler Stage
Since I haven't changed my Kemper settings for many of my rigs in years, I figured I'd take some time to look through them to make sure everything is where it should be. One thing I noticed is that for nearly all of my high gain rigs, I've got a studio EQ in the X slot for the sole purpose of using the high and low cut features (cutting all frequencies below 80hz and everything above 9000hz). Then when reviewing my Output settings, I noticed I also had a low and high cut activated in there too.
Would there be any reason to keep one over the other? I'm assuming that the one in the Output settings is a Global effect which means it'd make those cuts to EVERY rig. But I can't think of any reason to not have it just cut everything globally instead of me having to waste a spot for an EQ in my stomps/slots. Am I missing something, or is that good logic to just let the global Output EQ take care of it?
I did notice that when playing through my DAW, changing the settings of the cuts in the Output menu made no difference at all. So, I'm wondering if those settings only apply to the XLR outputs? Whereas, when I put the cuts in a stomp, I can hear them through the DAW. I'm using the DAW just for listening purposes - I use my Kemper 95% of the time for live performances. For recording, I'd just use the DAWs cuts.
For reference, I play in standard tuning or 1/2 step down. Moderate gain stuff (typical cover band rock stuff, 80's hair bands, classic rock, etc.).
