  • Profiling amp with Kemper stage

    Yes you can.

    You profile an amp using XLR from mic to XLR Return Input on Kemper. You only use a TS cable from Kemper Direct Output to the Input jack of the amp you are profiling. Like so...

    Yeah no XLR on the Kemper stage...

    Hi, sdeyoung,

    I would get an XLR to TRS cable.

    While things might work running the signal through the Focusrite Scarlett, you'll be running through the built-in microphone preamp. If your unit has the "air" option, don't use it. Introducing any gear you don't need for the Profiling process is an unnecessary complication.

    It's too bad the Profiler Stage does not have an XLR input for Profiling, but you can (and I would) get an XLR to TRS cable.

    Ok cool, I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

    I connected the my microphone to a small Yamaha mixer then went out of the main of the mixer with a 1/4" TRS to the Kemper. That way I could set the gain on the microphone so it had a good signal. I don't know if the Kemper Stage has a preamp in it that is made for plugging a microphone straight into it. My results were good so I will continue doing it the way I did it.

    So did you go L/R from main into Kemper using a TRS cable? Or just left and use a type of cable like this?

  • Profiling amp with Kemper stage

    My apologies if this question has already been asked here. When profiling an amp, Is it better to use a mic with XLR to TRS straight into Kemper or XLR from Kemper -> XLR in on Focusrite Scarlet -> output from scarlet to return on Kemper stage? Or does it even matter? Since there's no way to go from mic to Kemper directly (without getting an XLR to TRS cable).

  • Running direct to PA

    Looks like August is going to be the month for shows so I'll get lots of use and practice. I just want everything to go as smooth as possible. Thanks for the tips and advice!

  • Running direct to PA

    Hey everyone! Just wondering what everyone's experience is running the Kemper straight to FOH? Is there anything special I need to do on the FOH board? Like change the level from mic to line level or anything? Any other tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated. I have some gigs coming up next week and would like to be as prepared as possible.

    Thanks!

  • Clock setup error

    Hey everyone! I’m new to the Kemper community. I have small issue with the Kemper stage which I just received yesterday. . Every time it boots up I’m getting a “clock setup error”. I have set the clock multiple times. I did already go to the local shop where I bought it and he’s going to call it in on Monday. Worst case he’s going to transfer a new one from one of the other locations and we’ll swap.

    But I’m just wondering if any of you have experienced this? I read that the internal battery is probably dead.

    Hi everyone! I just received my Kemper stage yesterday. I have to say, within minutes I was already dialing up some pretty amazing tones. This thing sounds amazing and is super easy to use! Can’t wait to get more familiar with it and start playing around with more profiles.
    cheers!
