Bevor Du den Lötkolben auspackst, solltest Du erst mal checken, wo der Controller des Volume Pedals steht, wenn der Sound leiser ist, als Du erwartest. Das kann man auf der Seite Pedal Links im Pedal-Menü des Stage sehen.

Vielleicht ist Dein Expression-Pedal als "Volume Pedal" konfiguriert und steht einfach niedrig.

Oder Dein Expression-Pedal ist als "Wah Pedal" konfiguriert und gleichzeitig ist "WahPedal to Volume". Wenn man dann ein Rig ohne Wah-Effekt lädt und das Expression-Pedal sehr niedrig steht, kann es zu solchen Effekten führen.

Das sind keine Fehler, sondern beabsichtigtes Verhalten.

I suggest an intern foot switch, not an external foot switch.

There are plans to harmonize the selections for internal and external switches.

In the meantime instead of assigning Fixed Wah to an external switch, you could assign for example Effect Button I to an internal switch (switching roles between internal and external switches). And then assign Fixed Wah to Effect Button I by Rig. Effect Button I could even toggle more than one effect, trigger Action&Freeze and its assignments could vary by Rig as needed.

The two pictures CedMoon shared logically contradict each other. The first picture of the error message clearly indicates, that 13.0.5 is the OS installed. The second picture shows the normal update suggestion of a unit, presently running OS 11.1.54.

These are either two different units or at least two different states. If you normally restart a unit after showing that 13.0.5 error message, it cannot start with OS 11.1.54 since that one is gone. It either runs into the same error again or it succeeds to start with OS 13.0.5.

So I'm wondering what the real current state is.

Quote from BayouTexan

Shouldn't the "Current Version" and the "Install new Version" be the same in the OP's message pop-up?

Such a message doesn't appear. The software doesn't even suggest to install the OS that is already installed. The update suggestion only appears if the version on the USB stick and the one already installed differ.

Der andere Thread steht ja unter "Feature Requests", weil das (bisher) nicht geht. Du kannst den großen Rig Manager für Windows und macOS nur über USB-Kabel betreiben. Diese KAbelverbindung ermöglicht auch USB-Audio sowie USB-MIDI. Über ein Netzwerk hingegen musst Du Rig Manager für iOS, Android bzw. FireOS benutzen. Das steht aber alles auch ausführlich in Das Große Handbuch.

Beim Übertragen von Backups zwischen Head/Rack und Stage-Modellen werden grundsätzlich alle Einstellungen übernommen. Ausnahmen sind diese:

1. PEDAL-Anschlüsse

Das Stage verfügt über vier Pedalanschlüsse, Head und Rack über zwei eigene und mit Remote über vier weitere. Da die Software nicht wissen kann, wie der User das mappen möchte, existieren die 2+4 Pedaleinstellungen von Head/Rack und die 4 vom Stage in den Daten getrennt voneinander. Im Head/Rack werden also die Einstellungen für Head/Rack plus ggf. Remote aktiv, während die fürs Stage inaktive gemerkt werden. Im Stage werden die Einstellungen fürs Stage geladen und die für Head/Rack plus Remote inaktive gemerkt. Du müsstest Du also einmal ein Backup von Head/Rack in das Stage spielen, dort die Pedaleinstellungen fürs Stage anlegen und dann ein Backup vom Stage erzeugen und wieder in Head/Rack zurückspielen. Dann ist in künftigen Backups immer alles enthalten.

2. Output Source von MONITOR OUT

Bei Head und Rack ist der MONITOR OUT standardmäßig mono und die Auswahl der Output Source entsprechend. Beim Stage ist der MONITOR OUT dediziert stereophon und die Auswahl der Output Sources entsprechend. Hier könnte man wie unter 1. vorgehen. Einmal im Head/Rack die mono Output Source auswählen. Das in das Stage übertragen. Dort die Output Source einstellen. Und wieder zurückübertragen. Ab da sind in allen Backups die Einstellungen passend zum Gerät enthalten.

3. Die zweite Effektloop des Stage - sofern diese eingesetzt wird - können Head und Rack mangels Anschlüssen nicht abbilden.

Wenn Du keine Effect-Loop benötigst, kannst Du den aktiven Monitor auch an den DIRECT OUT anschließen. Dessen Output Source, Lautstärke und MASTER VOLUME Link lassen sich völlig unabhängig vom MONITOR OUT einstellen, solange Monitor Stereo nicht aktiviert ist. MAIN OUT sowie HEADPHONE OUT sind dann für andere Verwendungen frei. Das ist eigentlich die gradlinigste Lösung.

The error message indicates, that the unit is running OS 13.0.5 already - which is the latest release revision.

So; I'm wondering why you are still intending to "update" to the same revision.

Yes, there is only one mono Send/DIRECT OUT at Head and Rack models. So either you use it as mono send for an effect loop or you couple the DIRECT OUT to the MONITOR OUT to run two KEMPER Power Kabinets in stereo.

The Stage model offers SEND 1 and SEND 2 (supporting up to two effect loops) plus a dedicated stereo MONITOR OUT.

Locking is completely independent between Browser Mode and Performance Mode. What ever you lock in one of the modes could influence the sound.

Do you disconnect and reconnect the plug of the toe switch TS cable while the PROFILER is up and running?

Don't do that since it could create electrical shortcuts, which confuses the ongoing autocalibration.

Simply test with a paperclip or other piece of metal. Plug the TS cable in, leave it open at the toe switch end, press calibrate, use piece of metal to close contact between tip and sleeve at the open plug. Each time you close the contacts the assigned effect module should toggle its on/off state.

You can consider not to use WahPedal to Volume. Simply deactivate this option. In that case you have your Wah Pedal and Rigs will always load with volume as stored. And you are free to control volume with the pot of your guitar, which seems to be your preference. I guess, it is not clear to me, what you need a Volume Pedal for.

Make sure Rig Manager and Player OS versions match. If you install for example Rig Manager for Windows/macOS 3.10.13, install OS 134.0.5 release on that Player.

I guess, you need to decide first, if you prefer to use the two different expression pedal functions within your BOSS pedal to control two different controllers within the PROFILER e.g. Volume and Wah. Or if you just use one of those expression pedal tapers and set it up as a Wah Pedal and then link the Volume Pedal function to it selecting the WahPedal to Volume option. Don't mix and confuse those two approaches.

I read comments, that the taper of that BOSS pedal doesn't respond evenly and can come in late. Perhaps a limitation of that pedal. Try to change polarity at the pedal. That polarity selection and the Pedal Type you chose within the PROFILER settings should match. Otherwise the response curve might be suboptimal. Also make sure, that the range pot at the pedal is set to maximum. And calibrate the pedal.

If you use WahPedal to Volume, the pedal maintains the latest Volume Pedal level, when you activate a wah effect or load another Rig with an active wah effect. That is intended behavior. So you need to organize your soiunds accordingly. Or you use two seperate pedals, one for volume, the other for wah. That's what I do: I have one dedicated pedal for volume, which I can use at any time. And I have a second pedal fro wah and pedal pitch effects as well as Morphing.

Thanks for highlighting!

OS 13.0.5 release is installed on a huge number of PROFILER units all around the globe without such issues.

Not very probable, that both sockets are broken.

How do you test those sockets? These can be used for an upper loop, or for PROFILING, or as another input or output, or for Aux In. Does you setting fit the intended function? In doubt press Init Globals to reset all global settings.

In most cases Rigs sound the same. But there can be specific scenarios:

If you for example lock something at a source PROFILER, the sound is impacted by these locked elements. If you transfer that Rig to another PROFILER regardless of the model and series without storing the RIg including those locked elements, it will sound differently at the destination device. Or you lock something at the destination device and the Rig is impacted at the destination end. The Rig as such is the same, but locking changes the sound temporarily. The Player doesn't support locking (except Tempo and Volume Pedal).

We have decided not to offer DLY+REV Routing at the Player. It can have significant impact on the delay and reverb sounds as illustrated in the Main Manual.

If you want to keep sounds absolutely compatible with the Player, set DLY+REV Routing to 0, which means strictly serial processing. And either avoid locking any modules or store the Rigs in that state before you transfer these.

If you select "Return Inputs" as USB source, you can plug your microphone into the RETURN XLR.

Be aware, that PROFIELR is not providing phantom power. If you need that, plug a mixing desk or similar in between.

That is normal. Only Wah Pedal and Volume Pedal are mutually exclusive. Wah, Pitch and Morph Pedal are not, which allows to trigger such effects simulataneously. If you want to avoid that, you need to organize your sounds accordingly.
