Gain Knob - Kemper PROFILER Main Manual

Front Panel Controls 32

GAIN Knob (24)

The GAIN knob controls the amount of distortion and covers an extremely wide range from ultra-clean to totally
distorted. The Gain control allows for the same large range on all PROFILEs, even if the original amp has a more
limited gain range.
The "Gain" parameter always compensates for loss in level, no matter how much you reduce it by. You can turn the
gain value to zero for every Amp PROFILE, and the result will be a totally undistorted and uncompressed sound that
has the same perceived loudness as the fully distorted version.
Rig VOLUME Knob (25)
The VOLUME knob on the right lower side of the front panel is the individual volume of the current Rig. Note that this
parameter does not drive the sound into any power amp distortion, so it will only change the volume of the sound,
not the character. The setting is stored with the Rig. If you want to modify the overall volume of your PROFILER, use
the Master Volume instead.
The PROFILER is designed so that every PROFILE, distortion or compression will produce approximately the same
loudness, thereby avoiding any extreme volume drops or peaks when you browse through the Rigs. All the factory
Rigs come with Rig Volume set to the center position, which is the unity or default volume.
If you feel that clean Rigs sound softer or louder than distorted Rigs, please don't try to fix it by adjusting the volume
of the individual Rigs! Instead, you should readjust the Clean Sens parameter in the Input Section to match your
guitar to the PROFILER.
Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the level of each Rig to suit a song in a set list, rather than to balance the levels
between all the Rigs.
If you feel that any of the Rigs sound particularly loud or soft, check to see if there is an active effect causing the
problem. Check the individual volume settings of the active effects, in case they are boosting or attenuating the
sound.
