Check out pages 130 - 134 in the manual. There is a specific section for a wet/dry setup -

Page 134 - "When Source is set to “DLY/REV wet” for a stereo output, it will deliver only the wet stereo effect signal of delay and reverb effects from the DLY and REV modules. If you set the source of the DIRECT OUTPUT to “Stack” or “Mod….”, which is the complementary dry signal, then you can send your amp signal to the front mixing desk through three cables. For PROFILER Stage, you could use the SEND 1 instead of the DIRECT OUTPUT for this application. Your front mixer can now mix the effect signal to the dry signal, according to the actual room ambience of the venue. This method is called the wet/dry/wet setup. Your mixer will love you for that! And, you can still use the MONITOR OUTPUT separately from all of this for your individual stage sound!"

You can also mess with the Dual Delay:

Page 273 - "The Dual Delay features two fully independent delays - one for each stereo side - with independent feedback controls. Both feedbacks can be sync'ed with the “Feedback Sync” soft button, so that both are controlled by the Feedback 1 control only. The sync'ed feedbacks don't just have the same feedback level but are adjusted automatically depending on the respective delay times, such that both delays will decay to silence at the same point in time, thus preserving the stereo image. Use the Cross Feedback parameter to increase the density of the delay reflections."

OK, thanks. I seem to have it working now. I think the balance parameter was set incorrectly in the delay block.

I have a Kemper Profiler Rack connected to a pair of FRFR monitors through the Monitor and Direct outputs, and I'm trying to achieve stereo separation for reverbs, delays and chorus after the stack. My Output settings are Master Stereo from Monitor out with the soft button checked to link the Direct output to stereo. After messing with the delay block's settings and trying out all the delay presets I have been unable to dial-in a simple ping pong delay with the dry signal panned to one side and the delayed signal to the other. Both signals always go to both sides, no matter what settings I use. What am I missing?

Brilliant. Thank you!

Thank you for the reply Bayou, I managed to figure out what the problem was !

Can you explain what your issue was? I have also noticed that pressing the cab off soft button does not produce the same result through my monitor cab as using the Monitor Off setting in the Output.

Can someone tell me why I am no longer able to log in to the English speaking version of the Forum? I can usually find the button that translates the page to English but when I do that I get logged out. Logging back in takes me back to the German version.

you can assign an expression pedal to control the level of the monitor/speaker output exclusively. The level that goes to the FOH will be unaltered.

Thanks but as I chop/change quickly between guitars during songs I don't have time to engage a pedal at the same time. I need a hard routing solution.

Hope someone can help me configure a way to do the following with my Power Rack:

I use a Lehle 3at1 to switch between electric and acoustic guitars, to a common output connected to my KPA input. Either guitar goes to the Main Outs but I also want to monitor my electric guitar (not the acoustic) through my onstage cabinet linked to the Speaker Out. At present, both my guitars reach the speaker. The only way I have found to keep the acoustic signal out of the Speaker Out is to send the signal on my acoustic rigs to the FX loop Send and route that separately to the FOH mixer but then I lose the stereo imaging on my acoustic rigs.

Is there a solution to this?

System Button - Page 12 - Soft button 3 (button assignment) - Soft Knob 3 (Tap Button)

Thanks for that.

Simple things first…..it the Tap Tempo button configured to *be* tap tempo? It can be set to a bunch of other functions.

There should be a page in settings where you can check/choose.

I can't find such a setting in System Settings or in the manual.

I have a performance with 2 rigs in it, tap tempo enabled on one of them. When I use the front panel Tap button, no problem. When I use the Remote's Tap button, the Profiler fails to respond accordingly. Is there something wrong in my setup?

ad 1. Regarding the pedal function, if this has worked before, two wires might be crossed. This is either a cross in the TRS cable you are using now or the pedal is wrongly wired. I think somewhere tip wire is soldered to ring and vice verse.

ad 2. The switch in the pedal is latching and not momentary as should. The PROFILER requires momentary switches.

This turned out to be correct in both cases. I had to modify the pedal by swapping two of the wires, and install a momentary switch (raided from my Mission pedal) instead of the latching one. Thanks for the advice, Burkhard!

I'm trying to set up a new expression pedal to replace an old, faulty Mission EP1-KP. The problems I'm experiencing are:

1.) Pedal action is reversed (toe down is minimum value, heel down is maximum). Tried both Pedal 1 and Pedal 2 modes, recalibrated each time.

2.) Toe switch requires 2 button presses to activate. I have tried all three pedal modes, and set each option to produce the same result (turn a stomp on/off) and the result is always the same.

Can anyone help?

Giving this thread support as I would like the Kemper to be able to send MIDI Note-On messages so that I can use my switchboard (Remote or Stage) to interface with a DMX controller for lighting.

I see this has been requested by others but I would like to add my support for making the frequencies of each of the bands in the Graphic EQ customisable. Also, having a choice of EQs (5-band, 7-band, 10-band) etc. would be useful. As it is, I reach for the Studio Equalizer first as it comes closest to what I'm looking for but on its own isn't as flexible as I would like.

you can send MIDI program changes to two external devices from any Profiler. Since the Stage only offers a single MIDI out you need to assign a different MIDI channel to each of the external devices and connect them either with a thru box or by utilizing the MIDI thru of the device that is connected directly to the Profiler.

Ah, many thanks for the clarification!

Am I correct in my understanding that the Stage only allows communication with a single MIDI device (owing to the fact there is just a MIDI Out but no MIDI Thru)?

Your PROFILER was in our Service Center initially because of a perceived power amp issue you reported, which could not be reproduced nor measured. You had provided the information, that this issue only affected the SPEAKER OUT and not any other outputs. Is there still such an issue?

When the PROFILER was already on its way to our Service Center because of this power amp issue you raised an additional request to check the PROFILER's Ethernet port because of Remote loss of contact issues. The Ethernet port of the PROFILER has also been tested and measured without finding any defects. If you are absolutely sure, that your Ethernet cables must be in order, what about the Remote? The Remote has not been checked. I guess, if my colleagues had known about this second issue, they had asked you to send PROFILER plus Remote plus cable. The way you describe the issue, it cannot be hard to identify the trouble maker and fix it. So I would say, you didn't give it a fair chance.

Perhaps your have access to another Remote ... a friend, a colleague, a shop? I would still try a third cable, perhaps a short off-the-shelf cable. And I would check the contacts at the Remote side.

Yes, that is a fair point. I dare say the Remote contacts could be at fault but I don't have another to try out. I do feel it's unlikely to be the Remote however, as moving the Remote or wiggling the cable at the Remote side does not break the connection with the Profiler, while as I mentioned this is what happens at the Profiler end of the connection.

How might I confirm the integrity of the Remote's contacts? BTW, what is the expected working life of an Ethernet cable (how long should I expect it to last)?

Regarding the power amp, I have tried it out briefly at low volumes without noticing further issues at present.

This happens to me all the time, regardless of whether or not I am connected to RM. My Profiler has even been back to Kemper HQ for inspection but I was told everything is normal even though the remote continues to lose connection to the Profiler if I so much as touch the ethernet cable or move the unit with the cable attached. (Changing out the cable didn't help.) I have given up hope of this issue being satisfactorily dealt with and resigned myself to reinserting the cable connector each time it goes down to bring the remote back online.

I have two Mission EP1-KP pedals; one spring-loaded one with a toe switch which I use for Wah, and another without the toe switch for volume pedal duties. The Wah works perfectly and I never have to mess with it. The other one seems to have some issues as the treadle has become stiff over time, and no amount of adjustment to the tension screw or the application of lubricant to the gears has improved its performance. I have recently noticed that it also appears not to calibrate accurately at the heel end of the sweep. (ie. it will only go to zero if I keep pressure applied with my heel... When I let go it bounces up a few notches.) I have not been able to determine whether the pedal stiffness and the calibration error are related.

Unfortunately, as the pedal is no longer under warranty and there doesn't appear to be a Mission service centre in UK/EU, I appear to be left with the choice between buying a new one or attempting to fix this unit myself. Does anyone have any experience or advice to offer?

Maybe this kind of switch? Lehle 3@1

You can plug your different guitars and control the switch via midi from the kemper.

This is the answer for me. I shall be getting one. Thanks for the link!
