I got the best results importing an acoustic guitar IR tuned specifically for piezo pickups into the cab block. Added a Radial JDV preamp profile into the amp block, plus EQ and compression.
I'm trying to work out a solution for switching quickly from electric to acoustic during the course of a song/performance. I was hoping I could switch in/out with the Kemper Remote but it doesn't seem to be possible with the Profiler only having a single input. If anyone else is performing material with both electric & acoustic, how are you achieving this? An external switcher? How are you amping and processing your acoustic?
I do this frequently.
From the Kemper Main Manual 8.5 https://www.kemper-amps.com/downloads/5/User-ManualsNotice the reference to Morph in the lower section of this page.
I don't know how I missed this. Maybe the morph function wasn't available to expression control when the feature was first released? Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention!
There is really only one thing I need that the Kemper currently doesn't offer but it is sufficiently important to have had me trying all the competition in the modelling market and even considering going back to an amp + pedals setup. That is, the inability to adjust the balance between rig levels on the fly during a gig. It is not practical to have to jump on my rack during a performance, make an accurate level adjustment from the front panel and then hit "Store" twice. Of course, I try and get my levels balanced at rehearsal so that it's not necessary to make adjustments during performance but inevitably there will always be points in a show where a solo isn't loud enough or clean and dirty rigs in a performance aren't balanced, etc.
The Axe-FX footcontroller has a feature where the current scene can be levelled up/down and saved on a single button press. Would it be possible to implement something similar with the Kemper Remote, where the rig level is increased/decreased and stored with one of the switches? It appears that the KPA architecture doesn't allow this but I would be interested to know for sure.
It turned out that reducing Clean Sens from 0 to around -4 fixed this issue for me.
Display MoreI have experienced this too. I have found that a heavy hand and a stiff attack are contributing factors for me.
I dialed back the Clean Sensitivity and swap to a thin pick and that has mostly cured it.
I still get carried away sometimes and can still generate some of those pops. But for the most part it is now a non issue.
Other than being heavy handed and using a 1mm pick, the only other contributing factor could be hot pickups...which i also use.
Hope this helps.

I guess it's mainly when I'm strumming that I notice it, to be fair.
I love the acoustic simulator algorithm; it's become an absolute godsend for creating patches since I do such a lot of prog rock stuff requiring acoustic sounds. However, I have noticed a tendency for my guitar to produce nasty pops when I have this effect engaged. I don't know whether the Kemper is simply amplifying cable crackles or such, or whether the Kemper itself is producing the noise, but the pops are very loud and annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
I presume I would only be able to use the Kabinet in FR mode with a Merged or Studio rig (since cab sim is bypassed with Monitor Cab OFF)?
If you are using a Kabinet, and you want to use it in Full Range Mode, Use the Power Amp Output, with Kone = ON, and Monitor Cab Off = OFF.
Great, thanks!
If I wanted to use my power rack with the cab sim on instead of using the speaker imprints for the Kone, would I need to re-connect the cab to the Monitor out, or would it still work connected to the regular speaker output using the power amp?
Anyone know how to create an automatic volume swell effect at the beginning of notes, without having to manually engage a volume pedal or morph switch?
Yeeees it is fixed thank you Kemper dudes!! AAhh it was kind of a deal breaker for me but now i looooove it!!
Great to know!
I just wondered whether anyone had created a rig to emulate the lead synth tone on the Muse song "Uprising"? If so, would you be willing to share? I can't find anything on RE.
I see that.
You can get the kemper 2 button stomp
Use that for the looper
That's an option, although if I have to buy a separate pedal I'd probably just get an EHX Freeze pedal.
I'm reckoning that you record your chord pads into a the looper then morph your preset to a higher gain.
Or just switch presets.
I can see how I'd use morphing to change from rhythm to lead tone (if switching rigs isn't possible). I'm trying not to use the Looper though, as I generally keep it switched off on the Remote to avoid kicking it on by accident during performances.
I want to use the Freeze feature to create sustained chord pads for soloing over. While I understand how to achieve this in the Reverb block, it seems that the reverb effect must be engaged when the Freeze button is pressed in order to generate the pad. Is it possible to set this up so that the pad can be generated from a dry signal?
Secondly, how can I set up a performance so that when I switch from one rig to another, the pad effect continues to sustain without drawing its signal from the new rig? ie. Create a clean sustain pad using rig 1, and then change to rig 2 for a solo tone over the clean pad... ?
