== Expression Pedals/Footswitches ==
There are several places to set up your analog pedal or footswitch. On the [[Kemper KPA System and Rig Settings#External Expression Pedal/Footswitch Setup|System menu pages 5 - 6]], you can specify what kind of device is connected and what it should control. Really, you are setting what it should act as - the KPA will map its input to a MIDI CC parameter. What the pedal (as well as the corresponding MIDI CC) controls is a bit more flexible, dependent on which effects are enabled, as well as "linking" settings on [[Kemper KPA System and Rig Settings#MIDI Assignments and Settings|page 14 of the System menu]]. On [[Kemper KPA System and Rig Settings#Expression Pedal Settings|page ? of the Rig menu]], you can set additional per-rig settings for the pedal's range.
Note, if you link a wah pedal to volume, when you disable a wah effect on a rig, the pedal will not begin to control volume until you put it fully in the toe position - this prevents a jump in volume if your wah pedal is not in toe position when you turn it off. Similarly, if wah is linked to pitch, when you disable wah/enable pitch, the pedal will not begin to affect the pitch until it is brought fully to the heel position, again to prevent the pitch jumping on the transition.

* Location - this refers to a volume pedal's placement in the signal chain. Since a dedicated volume pedal doesn't require an effect slot like wah wah or pitch (whammy), you use this parameter to set where it should affect the signal.
* Range - this refers to whether the volume pedal should boost when moving from heel position to toe position (when set to right of center) or cut when moving from toe to heel position (when set left of center)
