    Hey all,

    just got my new KPP today. On the back of the unit it shows 9-12V / 24W (!). That's 2 Amps peak at 12V (2.6 Amps at 9V). The included power supply is spec'd at 9V / 22.5W so that matches.
    Is the KPP really that power hungry? I don't know of any pedalboard power supply that will do more than 500mA on any voltage.

    How are you guys powering your KPPs on your boards?

    Thx in advance!

    Thanks for the responses, guys.

    I'm the vocalist, so I got the mic thing covered. Also, I don't like IEMs - can't deal with something sticking in my ear for extended periods of time (I don't use earbuds very often either). In addition, I feel "disconnected" from my surroundings when wearing IEMs on stage. That's why I'm looking for a good solution that will cover my guitar (Kemper) and vocals.

    I'll pick one up from my local GC and try it - if it doesn't work, then I'll just return it.

    Thx again to all! :thumbup:

    Hey All,

    is anyone using a Headrush FRFR as a "true" monitor solution? Meaning not just for the/a Kemper, but also for vocals, keys etc.
    I'm thinking of thinning down my live rig (for smaller venues) with a Player and a FRFR-108 MKII, but the Headrush site says these are optimized for modelers/profilers, so I'm wondering if they're well suited for (specifically) vocals too.

    Thx in advance!

    So, I thought this was solved, but it reared its head again. This time I was able to reproduce it, but that doesn't mean I understand what's going on.

    The attached video shows one way of how I was able to reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen at random other times as well.

    Video

    To recap: I have a wah for every performance patch using the right pedal with bypass@toe. The morph difference on #2 is just a volume boost.

    Any ideas? Should I open a support ticket?

    Thx - M.

    From my experience, the Kemper does not act as a DCHP server. It sends discovery packets at startup and will use an external server if found (e.g. your AP). If no server responds it falls back to the so-called "link-local" network range.

    You're referring to an APIPA address, right? That makes sense.

    That also tells me my setup is not going to work. I got a TPLink PoE switch so I wouldn't have to use a PoE injector. Also got the PoE powered MicroTik maP, which has a super small footprint. Unfortunately, the maP only works in router or Bridge mode. In Bridge mode the DHCP server is disabled and in router mode the communication between the wireless and wired networks is NATed.

    On my Android tablet it looks like the app is using broadcasts to discover the Kemper, so that's not going to work across a router/NAT, and in bridge mode my tablet won't get an IP address, which means I'd have to enter an APIPA address manually every time. Also, the power brick for the TPLink is at least as big (if not bigger) as the switch.

    (listing all this info in case someone else is researching/trying the same thing).

    I saw your setup on the thread Syntek mentioned. What PoE injector is that? Looks like it has a pretty small footprint. And are the power supplies for the GL.iNet and the PoE injector the black and yellow bricks right above above the PoE?

    Hey All,

    before anyone responds with "through an ethernet cable", let me explain:

    Is the communication between the Head/Rack and the remote IP based (layer 3), or some proprietary Layer 2 connection? If layer 3, that would mean that either the Head/Rack includes a DHCP/BOOTP server, or the Head/Rack and remote are hardcoded - ??

    I'm asking because I'm considering adding an access point to my rack and am wondering how to configure the communication (tablet to AP to Rack)

    Thx in advance - M.

    So, it looked like the calibration was correct, but I went ahead and calibrated it again anyway. My issue did not happen during our practice session that night, but as I mentioned before, it was somewhat random to begin with.

    Is there a way to visualize the actual numerical (midi) values on the pedal position somewhere?

    Tried the bypass@stop - doesn't work for me. It removes the ability to do the "Zakk Wylde - half-cocked" sound ....

    Hey All,

    I'm considering replacing the Marshall 8008 I have right now with a Fryette LX II.

    Anyone here use (or used) one? Opinion?

    Also curious to find out if there are any heat issues/considerations. My rack is full and I don't usually open up the rear (patch bay on front).

    Thx in advance!

    Marcus.

    All - thank you for your help!

    Kellerblues that sounds plausible, but how do I do that (enable pedal to activate)

    Burkhard No, I did not calibrate the pedal. On any individual Rig, the toe position "activates" bypass, so I just assumed that the pedal was calibrated correctly. I will double check.

    Again - on any individual rig everything works as it should. It's on Rig-changes (example: in performance mode, from "1" to "2" on the remote) when this randomly happens. I'll try to reproduce and get a video of it ....

    Hey All,

    So, I recently changed my board a bit and added two Dunlop mini pedals. They're great space savers and feel just like a big pedal (at least to me).
    Unfortunately, it seems the Kemper is not tracking the pedal position correctly. I have a wah configured for most of my rigs with the toe-position-bypass option enabled. However, on occasion I will change rigs and the sound will have the wah in a "half-cocked" position, even though the pedal is all the way forward.

    Sorry for the long-winded intro, but I figured what I'm asking wouldn't make sense otherwise. Anyone have an idea what the problem may be? Is there a way to force the Kemper to "assume bypass" on an effect after a program change?

    Thx in advance for help and/or pointers! You guys all rock 🤘

    Therefore, you would need to assign the wah on/off to a separate footswitch (either I - IIII or an external switch which are cheap as chips an can be very small).

    <...>

    Yeah - I used to do that on my old rig (ADA MP2 with Lexicon MPX). Had a preset that included a Wah. One step to many for my taste (as opposed to not having to move my foot with the Mission).

    That being said, I'm considering using the 'heel-off' setting for the/a Wah pedal. The Dunlop Mini looks good, but I'm concerned that the pedal might be too small for a 'proper wah-feel'. Could you do me a favor and measure the width of the base of the Zoom FP02? I'm finding differing info on the Interwebs.

    Thx in advance!

    Marcus.

    Hey all,

    my apologies if this has already been discussed/answered.

    I've become quite fond of the Volume/Wah combo using a single pedal with a built-in footswitch. My only gripe is that the Mission has quite a footprint on my board. Anyone know of a smaller alternative?

    Thx in advance!
