Noise Gate 4:1; Distortion Stomps (Red) - Kemper PROFILER Main Manual

Noise Gate 4:1

This noise gate is a more aggressive expander, with an expansion ratio of 4:1. If the level of the input signal lies
below the threshold it will be attenuated by a factor of 4. In other words, each dB below threshold leads to 4dB
attenuation of the signal.
As with the Input Noise Gate, there are no attack or release controls, as we have selected the shortest possible
times without introducing any signal degradation. The attack time is 0.05 ms (that's 50 microseconds, or one twenty-
thousandth of a second), while the decay time is 50 ms. You can use the noise gate stomps in combination with the
noise gate in the Input Section to benefit from the different noise gate characters.

Distortion Stomps (Red)

The PROFILER offers a variety of distortion stomps modeled on vintage guitar distortion pedals. Every one of these
classic pedals is famous for its distinctive character and has been exploited by some of the greatest guitar heroes of
all time. We have carefully modeled the distortion curves and tonal characteristics of these legendary effects,
including the original tone controls.

Drive
Use this to boost the gain of the signal as it comes into the distortion stage - the higher the gain, the more distorted
the sound.

Tone
Some of the original distortion pedals that inspired this collection are equipped with tone controls.
