I bought a powered Kemper Profiler (toaster) to use with all of my instruments. In addition to one of the busiest "real" country bands in Central IL, I also play a lot of musical theater gigs. A typical musical theater gig could have me using, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, and Ukulele...all in the same show. The Kemper now allows me to use all these instruments without taking multiple pedal boards, amps, etc, etc... One rig for all axes. Each instrument has its own (sometimes multiple) patches specifically suited for that type of instrument.

At the theaters, I am running the Kemper straight to the FOH board without any cabinet. I use the monitors provided by the sound company. Works great.

With the live band (PSG, Tele, Dobro), I am using one PF-350 cabinet to monitor myself, at a low level. The cab is actually facing me from the front.

I got ahold of some great amp profiles that are working great. Tons of headroom and tone to the bone. Also, I am running a Black Box and Tuner in front of the Steel.

The reverb and delays in this thing are far superior to any unit I have ever used. I have two Strymon units on my other rig pedalboard. They pale in comparison to the Kemper effects.

When on break, I shift the Kemper to the Tuner from Performance mode. Acts as a great signal mute.

How do you route the different instruments to the Kemper?
Thanks!

George I think Tim uses a Gig Rig 3 to 1 switching box ...he put up a schematic of his pedal board which was pretty clever, but lightweight and functional !!
