The EP1-KP is an expression pedal designed for
use with the Kemper Profiling Amplifier. It features
Mission’s unique switching expression pedal function
that allows effects to be turned on and off at the
pedal, just like a conventional analog effect. The
pedal is matched to the amplifier to utilize the full
sweep and provide a smooth response with no dead
spots.
The EP1-KP is a passive device and requires no
internal battery or external power source.
ConnEions
The EP1-KP uses two ¼” phone plug outputs marked
OUT1 and OUT2 on the underside of the pedal.
OUT1 is the expression pedal output, and OUT2 is
the footswitch output. Connect OUT1 to switch/
pedal input 1 on the rear panel of the amplifier using
a ¼” TRS-TRS instrument cable, such as the Mission
MCTRS10A cable. TRS stands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve
and is a three-conductor cable. It is sometimes also
called a stereo, or balanced cable (See Figure 1.)
OUT1 requires the use of the correct cable with a
TRS connector at both ends. A mono TS cable such
as a regular guitar cable, and insert cables that have
both TS and TRS plugs, will not work.
Figure 1. shows a TRS connector with the three
conductors separated by the black insulation bands.
The pointed front of the connector is the tip, the
middle band is the ring, and the large conductor at
the rear nearest the plug body is the sleeve.
Use of the internal footswitch is optional. To use the
footswitch, connect OUT2 to switch/pedal input 2
on the rear panel of the amplifier using a standard
mono (TS) ¼” guitar or patch cable.
