A slot is indicating that the delay fx section is disabled. I did not knowingly do this, and I cannot find a way to re-enable it. What do I need to do?

I bought my Power Rack and Remote in Nov 2022, refurbs direct from Kemper in Colorado USA. As of this morning, the remote screen only boots up with an unreadable solid blue display. Additionally, if in browser mode it flickers slightly, but no flicker in Performance mode. Multiple reboot attempts make no difference. Remote cable is fine.Other functions seem ok, but it's still basically unusable live in this condition.
I do see some past dialog about this problem , but never saw any associated comments regarding resolving the issue. Can anyone help?

Could it be that you are hitting the strings harder when rig is set louder giving you a fatter sound? I have a tendency to do this, and I think it's common and a natural way we communicate.
But the rig is not audibly louder, since I compensate for turning up the rig volume with a lower master volume setting to achieve the same overall volume level. But the tonality and thickness is noticeably different. Please try it out, and let us know your thoughts.
With my power rack powering a 1x12 guitar cab I have noticed that for a given final output volume, running the rig vol high (like 7-10) with the master vol low yields a fatter, more amp-like sound than running the rig vol low (1-3) with the master vol higher to get the same final volume level. A fellow power rack owner agrees.
Why is this- non linearity in the power amp input stage?
Am I right in thinking that turning up the Kemper rig volume setting is not equivalent to turning up an amp's master vol and thus driving it's output tubes more without driving the preamp tubes more?
I ask because I find doing this and compensating for equal overall volume with the master vol control yields somewhat fatter tonality than just turning up the master volume does. Is it possible in a profile to adjust only the output tube drive contribution to the profile response?

TAF has a 1978 Dumble ODS that sounds similar to that. One of my main profiles
I did not find this in the TAF downloads via Rig Manager. Care to share that one, or point me to where you found it?
Robben Ford's Dumble, circa 2012, specifically this tone with a tele.
I have yet to hear any Dumble profile that has the smooth clarity, sustain, and fat sweetness of this. But I have not heard many D profiles, so if anyone knows where to find this, please let me know.

for anyone using the power rack's monitor outs for a stereo onstage rig into real guitar cabs, do you first use the monitor out equalizer, or the actual rig profiles TrebMidBassPres controls, as your primary tone adjusting for the guitar cabs sound? Or possibly a combination of both? Any tips are welcome!

I want to import someone's perfomances via USB, they are in banks 1, 2, &, & 3 in his machine and backup, and these positions contain nothing of interest on my Kemper (all my performance keepers are banks 8 & 9 currently). Is there any way to do this via usb and not have to use rig manager (have never used it due to current logistics at home)?

System Menu / Brightness knob.
Further details can be found on Page 275 of the main manual.
Can I ask an unrelated question of you? I was trying to get some fuzz sounds I liked, working at pretty low volume, and when I came up with one I tried to ad it to aslot in a performance. Upon doing it I got horrible high freq distorted buzzing coming out of the Kemper, and am beginning to think that event has damaged my speakers, as all profiles now sound quite harsh on top. Am using two 1x12 guitar cabs with celestion 12" speakers . Again this was NOT a loud event, it sounded to me like the circuitry went crazy. I am running on a Furman voltage regulator (AR1215). I tried shutting down and powering up, but all my prepared rigs in a Performance now have this harshness on top. This is a refurbished power rack, bought it late Nov 2122 from the Colorado site.
Is it possible some kind of square wave or extreme signal from the Kemper outputs could do this?
Should I try reinstalling the operating system (8.7.17 43373), can this possibly address what I am hearing, and will this leave my previously tweaked rigs in the unit intact? Was planning to gig this Friday. Thanks for your help.

Any opinions on whose commercial kemper profiles using fuzz sound the best?
Is there any way to adjust the screen brightness on a power rack?
Does the Kemper Kone require a break in period, or is it good to go brand new?

In Performance Mode load destination Performance and Slot. Then dial the BROWSE knob, which opens the Rig browse pool and select the Rig. Afterwards don't forget to store the Performance before leaving.
Such basics are explained in the Main Manual chapter "Performance Mode" as well as in related tutorial videos.
will this include all the rig's stomp and post amp effects configurations in one operation?
I put the dual lock next to the feet, not on them, so that the feet barely touch the board. So the unit almost stands on its feet but also on the dual lock. Does this make sense? Maybe a picture says more than a thousands words...
Perfectly explained,thank you!

The magic word for me is "perforated tape" / "hanger strap".
Cut the perforated tape 3 to 5 cm long strips and screw under the feet (feet off, perforated tape underneath, screw feet back on) then screw the other side of the perforated tape to the board with self-tapping sheet metal screws.
Of course you can also use something like "Harley Benton Mounties" for expensive money
.
Yoda, what is this tape made of, what brand is it, and what is the width of the strips? Thanks!
