I'm currently still using a combination of Mission, Boss FV500 and Zoom but I'm seriously considering changing. Currently think the front runners are DVP5, Boss EV30 or Boss EV5.

Just for fun I took a multi meter to all 3 of mine today. The Zoom (which cost me £11) actually has the closest to spec pot and the most linear sweep.

Did you change to something new? I’m looking to switch from Mission. A linear sweep is appealing. I’d be using one for Volume/Wah and another for Pedal Pitch/Morph. No heel droop is important. Thanks!

That's one of the reasons I don't like using the Mission pedals for anything other than war with the toe switch acting as On/Off. They suffer from pedal droop.

I can concur. Both of my Mission pedals have droop, which has made them unusable for things that require heel off/on switching (volume/tuner, heel-off wah). Wish I’d known. It took a couple years to happen, but even if I fully tighten the (hard to reach) allen wrench bolt below the pedal, it still droops.

Having this resolved would certainly be a delight. I’ve been recording band rehearsals for months, capturing Stack and DI tracks with the idea that, when time allows, I can use reamping to audition other profiles in context with the rest of the band. I just figured it would work like it used to. I sat down to do just that, with some new Tone Junkies liquid profiles, only to find that it’s “broken”.

In Logic, I used to setup the reamping and a recording loop for a section of a song, hit record and manually switch to different profiles (using Rig Manager) at the end of each loop, thus getting a new take for each profile. Then I’d use Logic’s comping tool to switch between takes to listen more carefully to how each profile sounds in the context of the song. Worked great.

Mine lined up perfect until that update. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Same for me. I did not have the problem with S/PDIF reamping before USB reamping was introduced. Latency was never even a thought: it just worked.

And USB reamping has never worked correctly for me: the results always have a ton of unusable noise, even with all latest updates applied.

I've started to wonder if there's an issue with my Kemper, or maybe the hardware is too old or something (despite that supposedly not mattering). I've recently had the need to do some reamping and am having a rough time figuring out how to reduce/eliminate the latency. I'm getting better results using the return input and analog out than I am for S/PDIF, but the latency is still too annoying to be useful.

I've started looking into the fiddly solutions, with using the DAW (Logic Pro latest on an M2 chip) to nudge tracks, but that's untenable when trying to audition profiles.

The lack of the Pitch Pedal effect in the Player is a bummer, because I use that effect with my toaster. I’m a +1 for wanting to see it added to the Player.

Am I understanding this correctly? I send the Master out to our PA, Monitor out to my cab and the S/PDIF out to my Scarlett 18i20. When I turn the EQ knobs on the front of my Kemper, I'm expecting the changes to be reflected in what's going to the S/PDIF out, because that's how I'm dialing in the tone I want (in all outputs). Especially when turning EQ knobs for Liquid Profiles.

Is the S/PDIF out now (after a certain OS version) not getting my EQ changes? That would be bad :-0

Thanks!

+1 !!!

I happen to also be trying to figure out if the Kemper can do something like that.

Hope so, but I haven't been able to figure out a way. I have an old POD Pro that was able to do it. The manual for that says that it was modeled after the "classic Fender tremolo", FWIW.

I suddenly started having these problems with my Unpowered Head and Remote pedalboard:

With guitar attached to the Front Input on the Head and the Remote attached:

1) 2 or 3 pops/clicks happen during startup
2) tone coming through monitors does not have profiles applied, at all

I'm only getting what sounds like the direct guitar tone. I've tried switching between various profiles, and they all sound exactly the same, as if they are not being applied.

If I shut down, disconnect the Remote, then start up again, I still get the pops/clicks, but profiles work.

As far as I know, the hardware didn't suffer any abuse or anything since it worked last. IE: no one dropped the Head or Remote, etc. It's just been sitting there.

I tried swapping in a different POE ethernet cable, and that did not resolve the problem.

This all worked fine last I used it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

So... I created a Kemper Profile of the Tonex Capture directly from the Tonex pedal and it is a "perfect" match.

I don't have a Tonex pedal, but find this idea really interesting, considering that there are so many great sounding Tonex profiles. Mind saying what routing you're using, and whether you think it'd be possible to create a Kemper profile from the Tonex plugin (rather than the capture pedal)?

Thanks!

* PS I also bought a Bluetooth Midi adapter and hooked up my iPad setlist manager to send Midi commands on song selection which triggers the correct Kemper Performance slot for each song, so no more dancing on the bank switches between songs!

This sounds cool. Can you provide more detail on what bluetooth device you bought and what iPad setlist manager you're using? Thanks!

I'm trying the USB reamping and am basically hearing a terrible noise in my headphones, to the point where I'm a bit worried I'm going to damage something. Here's my setup:

Logic Pro, latest version, audio source set to Profiler for both Input and Output

Previously recorded DI track (in project with other tracks), set to no input, mono Output 1, solo'd

New mono audio track to record reamp to, set to Input 1, stereo out, muted

Rig manager Output: USB Reamping enabled, Direct Monitor on, Reamp Source Stack, DAW volume 1.8

Headphones plugged into front of Kemper unpowered head.

I hit play in Logic and hear a very distorted version of my DI signal, not especially loud or anything, but just fully blown out. I've tried reducing the DAW volume, but it made no discernible difference. I tried reducing the output level of the DW track in logic, also with no discernible difference. Granted, I didn't want to have it playing for more than a few seconds because it sounded like something was getting VERY overloaded.

Any advice? Thanks!

ps: I looked for vids about USB at the Kemper support site, but didn't find any (the 9.0 addendum mentioned them).

And, as a side note, I'm not seeing how I'm going to be able to monitor the rest of my tracks while doing this, if the DI track has to be solo'd. I would want to hear everything so that I can try different profiles, make various adjustments, etc, in realtime.

Any news on Rig Manager for iOS getting browse mode functionality?

I use the app regularly at rehearsals, but have to go to my head or desktop app to browse, which is quite a shortcoming.

Pretty please? Maybe in the new release coming up?

I have an 80’s Roland JC-120 that has 2 “Main In” jacks on the back. I’ve read that they bypass the amp’s preamps and that 2 preamped signals can be connected to them to use the amp’s 2 power amps/speakers.

I would like to try it, with the Kemper set to Monitor Stereo, but am not sure what level of signal comes out of the Kemper’s Monitor and Direct Output ports.

Would those outputs be safe/good for this application? What level of signal comes out of them? Can anyone advise? Thanks!

OK, thanks. I was wondering if that was the case.

“bee in a jam jar“, lol, yep I know that sound :-0

To use both cabinets in mono, could I do this?

- turn off the Cabinet setting globally

- connect the powered Kabinet to the Monitor out, with an imprint selected and stereo unticked

- connect the Marshall to the Direct Out, with output source set to Master Mono

I may also try #4 (stereo to the PA).

I’m also curious about the Camplifier SHP (Stereo High Power) module for the unpowered toaster and then 2 appropriate cabinets. Hard to find any testimonials for that. Ultimately, I think I’m going to like guitar speakers more than Kones (after a year of using the Kabinet).

Is it possible to use both of these at the same time for monitoring with an unpowered toaster?

Powered Kabinet

Marshall 50w combo (1x12) via Send input

I know they’ll sound different, but I’m ok with that: it’s just to get more sound into the room at band rehearsals, and a plus would be if I could use the toaster’s stereo effects across them.

I tried the Kab connected to my monitor out (my usual setup) and the Marshall via my Main out (left), but got no sound in the Marshall.

I do get sound in the Marshall if I connect it to the toaster’s monitor out, FYI. Sounds pretty nice, but then where to plugin the Kab?

Thanks for any advice!

Does anyone know of some good profiles for old school punk? Influences would be late 70’s Buzzcocks, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, X-Ray Spex and, in particular, The Saints “Eternally Yours” album.

I am NOT looking for pop punk, Green Day, Blink 182, etc. Nor metal.

If not profiles, then tips/tricks for dialing in old school punk rhythm guitar tones?

Thanks!

I don't get why not being able to eq the SP/DiF would make you need to sell it. Just use the analog outs like thousands of pro users have successfully, You're ears won't be able to tell the difference.

In my case, our band's audio interface doesn't have any more analog inputs and it's been working great, thus far, for me to be using the S/PDIF (for a Git Studio and Master Mono tracking).
