You can send the dry signal into the Kemper via SPDIF IN from your audio device. I have played with this a few times and it worked great. What I am saying is you don't have to use the front instrument input to do this.
[edit] just tried this to make sure it works:
used this sample...
Goddamn straight! It's a really amazing CD. I too cycled through all the songs as being favorites and that does say something. All the greatest albums in my collection have done that to me and man, its been awhile honestly. You stole my thoughts. :D
Same with me, cookie monster vocals arn't my thing but in this case :rock: :rock: In the freakin pocket for sure. Makes me bang my head hard :doh: :rock:
so.. is there some place I can download/and/or buy this song or new album?

I have had one for like 6 months. I use 5 Studio monitors, 2 x KRK RP8, 2x KRK RP5, 1x BlueSky 12" Sub. Running like 500+ clean watts. It is quite loud and punchy, for home use though.
A lot of people say the Matrix power amps are great with the Kemper since they are designed to be...
I have a 83 BLD that I baby and love to death. It cost me 400 bux about 8 years ago and they are even more rare these days. TC electronic sucks and hasn't done a reissue (that I know of), so I am wondering if any other manufacture has done the same kind of pedal? :confused:
