I figured the part about being able to put pedals before the Kemper input last night when I realized I miss understood the option of putting it in the effects loop of the Kemper from their video about external pedals. It only should go in the looop if I wanted to be able to make it part of profiles. thay being said, I have it all connected the way describes and everything works except one thing. i get the HX Effects in full arrow, but not on the Kemper’s post amp effects, aka delay. If I engage a stereo effect in the HX Effects it is in stereo. But if I’m only using Kemper stereo effects they are being summed to mono. Im HX Effects I have Send 1 after my typical pre amp input effects, I then place a Stereo Return right after that so I’m getting return from the Kemper. I then I have my time based HX Effects in Stereo. Any idea why I’m not getting a stereo return from my Kemper?

The Kemper doesn’t work this way. Going into the input of the Kemper is not like going into the input of a traditional guitar amplifier. You have to use the Kemper send and return to put any effects that you want before the amp section of the Kemper

Did you ever get this figured out? I can’t seem to get it to work no matter what I do.

It's probably best if I explain what I'm hoping to do and see if any of you can advise me on the best way to do it. I use a Kemper in my studio that is always in stereo. I want to be able to use some of the effects on the HX Effects Pre Kemper (Compressor/Wha/OD/Distortion etc), and some of the other effects in Stereo after the Preamp part of my Kemper (Delay/Reverb/Chorus all in Stereo). This seems pretty straight forward if I was only going mono with the 4 Cable Method, and I have successfully done this with one of my Guitar Amps, but I need for it to be in Stereo. I read on another forum last night, where someone suggested the following: Guitar Cable Into HX Effects Input HX Left Send into Kemper Front Panel Guitar Input HX Right Send into Kemper Alternative Input (On Rear Of Kemper) Kemper Left and Right Main Outputs into HX Left and Right Returns HX Left and Right Outputs into my Stereo Studio Monitor Controller that goes to my Studio Monitors Above works for the stereo effects, but it doesn't allow me to put the effects that I want before the Kemper's Amp Input (Wha/OD/Dist Etc). The advantage of the above is I don't have to add an outboard effects routing on every patch inside the Kemper as this method is placing the Kemper in the Send/Return of the HX Effects.

I have been searching the Internet, YouTube, every source under the sun, trying to find the most basic routing diagrams on how to get the most out of my HX Effects When used with my Kemper. I’ve tried the four cable method in mono, the seven cable method in stereo, and none of it works the way it should. I’ve also tried using my Kemper in the Effects send a return of my HX Effects. The latter seems to work the best, however, it does not give me the ability to put things like boost, compressor, distortion/overdrive, before the amp portion of my Kemper, allowing me to do time based Effects post my preamp section of the camper.
