Parallel Path - Noise Gate

ChristophP · July 19, 2026 at 9:40 PM

Hello,

I'm using the Player for Heavy Bass Sounds by having a clean but heavily compressed low end in parralel with a heavily distorted mid- and high-end. I'm very happy with the results, however the Noise Gate in the Fixed FX section does not apply to the parralel signal but only the amped signal - resulting in a lot of rumble and noise on stage.

I need to apply an EQ and a Compressor in FX slot 1 and 2, so I do not have any more FX slots available to apply to the Parralel Path.

Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this problem besides adding a physical noise gate pedal in front of the Kemper?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried putting the noise gate after the parallel slot? or even after the amp block?

This is from the manual:

Fixed FX are exclusive to the PROFILER MK 2 series. The fixed Transpose and Noise Gate are located pre the signal split. All other Fixed FX are located within the main path.

Still get a lot of noise on the parallel path with this configuration. Is it a bug?
