KEMPER PROFILING AMPLIFIER12

Now after the straight explanations of the output sources, here are some useful applications and com-

ments for your inspiration:

The Direct Output acts as an analog buer amp for the instrument input, when set to “Git Analog” – the

default setting. It qualiﬁes well for reamping purposes as it provides a ground lift switch, as well as the

other analog outputs. Try dierent combinations of ground lifts for best hum and noise suppression. One

ground lift switch should always be o (that means “grounded”). Often you get best results if the Direct

Output is the one connection with no ground lift.

The Output Source setting for Direct Output is only active, when not in Proﬁler Mode and no analog ef-

fects loop (Stomp Loop) is active.

This can be used for a trick when you are proﬁling ampliﬁers: When you set Direct Output Source to “O”,

you can mute the reference ampliﬁer by simply switching from Proﬁler mode to Browser mode. Back to

Proﬁler Mode your reference amp will play again.

Tip: the reference amp can also be muted while you stay in the Proﬁler mode. Simply press the ON/OFF

button while you listen to the proﬁle (setting “Kemper Amp”) to mute the reference amp. This way you

can listen to the pure proﬁle by your monitor speakers without having your reference amp play along. But

be aware that a valid A/B comparison of the original amp and the residual proﬁle is only possible when

your reference amp is playing even when you listen to the proﬁle, because muting the reference amp will

change the acoustic environment.

Use the Direct Output or any other output at setting “Git” for connecting an external instrument tuner.

The Monitor Output allows to run the amp sound without virtual cabinet, while other outputs still contain

the virtual cabinet. Engage “MonitorCabO” to switch o the cabinet. Any Output Source can be applied

to the Monitor Output with “MonitorCabO”. Of course the “Git” settings remain unaected by “Monitor-

CabO”. Read more about the Monitor features in the chapter “Monitor”.

The Main Output at Source setting “Delay/Reverb wet” will deliver the wet stereo eect signal of the Delay

and Reverb only. If you set the Direct Output to “Stack” or “Mod”, which is the complementary dry signal,

than you can send your amp signal through three cables to the front mixing desk. Your front mixer now

has the ability to mix the eect signal to the dry signal according to the actual room ambience of the ven-

ue. This method is called the Wet/Dry/Wet setup. Your mixer will love you for that!

And still you can use the Monitor Output separately from all that for your individual stage sound!
