Kemper KPA Reamping

• For general principles, see Reamping.

The Kemper provides several features that make tracking and reamping easier and quicker.

SPDIF

The Kemper provides SPDIF input and output. To use SPDIF with your DAW, the Kemper requires being the SPDIF clock source, and must operate at 44.1 kHz. There are a couple quirks to this, depending on the input and output settings you choose.

Tracking DI's

The recommended settings for tracking DI's are to use your usual input setting - front or alternate. Use SPDIF output settings of Git/Mono L or Git/Stack. You can record both the dry guitar and wet ("amped") sound to separate tracks, by using mono tracks and setting the dry track's input to SPDIF L and wet track's input to SPDIF R.

Reamping

The dry track should output to SPDIF L. Switch the Kemper's input source to SPDIF Reamp - this only listens for the left channel of the SPDIF input. You can use Reamp Sense to adjust for any gain differences if your DAW has manipulated the dry track volume.
