Effect Categories, Types And Presets - Kemper PROFILER Main Manual

Effect Categories, Types and Presets

You will notice that the effect LEDs aren't simply lit or unlit but have many different colors. That's because these
LEDs use color to indicate which effect category and type is being used. A detailed description of all available effect
types and their corresponding colors can be found in the
If one of the effect modules is open, you can rotate the
of the effect types listed. Example: Lead Booster.
When you switch between similar effect types, you will notice that parameters common to these stomps will retain
their values; this is to make the choice of algorithms easier. For example, you can make a dedicated setting for a
wah effect, and then step through the various wah types - the overall effect will change, but settings for the various
ranges, including wah pedal control, will remain the same. You can also switch between a phaser and a flanger, to
check the different impact of these two algorithms, and the modulation scheme will remain unchanged.
The BROWSE knob, above the right side of the display, can be used to select from the list of effect presets in the
right column of the screen. Effect presets contain an effect type and custom settings for all its parameters and are
treated as user data in the same way that Rigs are. You are free to create presets of your own, delete any you don't
need, or import them from your USB memory stick. While a Rig always includes the complete signal chain from the
Input Section to the REV module, a preset consists of just one module or one section. Each PROFILER comes with
a set of factory presets preinstalled for demonstration purposes. These can be excellent starting points when you
intend to configure a specific effect setting - just find a preset that comes close and then fine-tune its parameters to
your needs.
Presets allow you to store your preferred Rig building blocks under a name of your choice, so your favorite wah wah,
booster, delay, etc., can be immediately available for you to use in any Rig.
There are two ways to load presets via soft button above the right side of the display: either manually by pressing
"Load" when the soft button is blinking, or by selecting the "Autoload" option. In this case, presets are loaded
automatically a couple of seconds after they have been selected.
Let's summarize the two methods of selecting a stomp:
•
Select an effect type. In this case, only the type changes while all parameter settings are maintained.
•
Select one of the factory presets, or one of your own, and then load it either manually or via autoload. In this case,
the type will be loaded along with all its parameter settings as stored in the preset.
