== Physical Inputs ===== Physical Inputs Front ===The front input acts like a standard guitar amp/pedalboard input. When the input is set to SPDIF, this input can still function to output a DI signal. ==== Front =Alternate ===This can function like the front input, but its on the back of the unit, allowing for a cleaner setup. It also functions as part of a stereo return for the effects loop. ==== Alternate =Return ====The return input is designed for the return signal from the effects loop or from the profiling process. === SPDIF =====The SPDIF input can be used to connect digital gear, mainly used for [[Kemper KPA Reamping|reamping]]. == Input Settings ====The Input block allows you to select the active input as well as adjust overall gain and clean/distorted volume balance. '''I recommend locking input, so that it is the same for every rig. Then you can change settings when you switch guitars, or switch from playing guitar to reamping.''' The only exception is where you have a more-complicated-than-usual setup and need to vary what inputs are used per rig. If you need to vary the Noise Gate settings, it may be easier to set the Noise Gate on the input low, then add a 2:1 or 4:1 Gate to a stomp block in your rigs as needed for higher-gain patches. === Input Selector =====This selects the active input used to feed the KPA's signal chain. Choices are Front, Alternate, or SPDIF Reamp. In SPDIF Reamp mode, the Front input is still active, able to record DI tracks. === Noise Gate ====The "Noise Gate" on the input is not a traditional expander, but a kind of noise remover. Normally, I am wary of such things, but it works well here - it can lower the noise considerably without hurting the tone or changing any dynamics. Still, it can leave noticeable artifacts in the tone if set too high. It also can make the noise you expect to hear from a high-gain amplifier sound a little strange. ==== Clean Sense Parameters ========= Clean Sense =====controls the volume balance between low and high gain settings for a particular rig. The KPA has a somewhat unusual way of handling a clean tone, which can be confusing. The KPA can only capture a profile at a certain gain setting but allows editing the gain on the resulting rig, all the way from completely clean to fully-saturated, mushy distortion. To do this, each amp profile contains a kind of parallel pair of clean and distorted profiles. From about 4 and below on the Gain knob, the profiles are blended inversely, and these can have a radically different volume level depending on how hot the pickups you use are. Clean Sense can be adjusted to make these roughly equal. ''Note: Clean Sense should not be used to try to level rigs (use the Volume Knob instead), and it does not impact changes in gain other than changing the Gain setting on the KPA. If for instance you are using a volume pedal or using the guitar's volume knob, Clean Sense will not affect the sound.'' ===== Distortion Sense =======Distortion Sense functions as a gain level adjustment. When Input is locked, Distortion Sense allows quick adjustments from guitar to guitar to get a similar gain level (when desired).
