Expression Pedals and Foot Switches 135

Connecting a PROFILER Switch

Connect the KEMPER PROFILER Switch using a TRS cable to one of the PEDAL inputs and select the "PROFILER
Switch" mode on the corresponding "Pedal" page in "Pedal Settings" of your PROFILER Stage or "System Settings"
of any other PROFILER variant. Assign your preferred switching functions to the A and B switches. Then press
"Calibrate" and trigger each switch once. Release "Calibrate". Done!

Single and Dual Switches of Other Brands

The PROFILER requires so-called "momentary" and "normally open" switches. Channel switches for tube amplifiers
are not compatible with the PROFILER, as they use a latching mechanism that would only trigger their assigned
switching function every other hit. Single switches are connected via a TS cable, and dual switches via a TRS cable.
Select "Mono Switch" or "Dual Switch" Mode on the corresponding "Pedal" page in Pedal Settings of PROFILER
Stage or System Settings of all other PROFILER variants and assign a switching function with the soft knob labeled
"Switch Tip". If "Dual Switch" is selected, another switching function can be assigned with soft knob labeled "Switch
Ring". If your external switch allows to change its polarity (e.g. BOSS® FS-5 and FS-6), set it to normally open. The
switching function should be triggered as soon as you hit the button. Wrong polarity implies, that the switching
function gets triggered, when you release the button. Especially if you intend to control Looper Start and Looper Stop
with the external switch, wrong polarity can lead to odd results as both hitting and releasing the buttons have their
meaning. Don't forget to press "Calibrate" and trigger each switch once.
