Hi guys, I've been using the head and remote for many years now and finally purchased the Stage from Sweetwater, which I'll have in my hands in a few days. I basically want my Stage to be set up exactly like I had my head and remote. Can I just create a backup on the USB stick I've always used and then plug into the Stage and Restore from that backup?

Hi Grooguit,
Yes, assuming you are using KAOS 7.5x (latest production version), you can backup from the Profiler Head and restore to the Stage.
That will handle the Profiles, Performances, and Presets. You will have to make some changes to the System settings where these are handled differently in the Stage.
QuoteDisplay MoreThere two more items you need to check after restored a backup of a classical PROFILER on a Stage:
The Pedal Assignments 1-4 of a Stage are different than the Pedal assignments 1+2 of a classical model plus 3-6 of a Remote. No mapping of those pedal assignments is taking place.
The Stage's MONITOR OUTPUT is stereo. Therefor the output source of a classical PROFILER with Monitor Stereo activated is mapped into the Stage. So, if your Head has Monitor Stereo not enabled and the output source of MONITOR OUTPUT for example set to "Stack", the Stage might start with output source "Master Stereo", because this is the default output source while Monitor Stereo is activated. In this case you have to manually select "Stack" again.

Hi Grooguit,
Thanks! Actually I’m running the latest Beta and made a few rigs with the new Kemper drive and have had no issues so would prefer but to downgrade to the last release. I assume that I would first update the new stage to 8.02030305050 or whatever the latest beta number was and restore from my last backup in my head?
Correction - Yes - you have to update the Stage to the same OS as the head.
I don't think you have to install the beta on the Stage. The only reason I mentioned KAOS 7.5x was to make sure you were running 7.5x or later on the Head. The backup from the Head and restore on the Stage wouldn't work if you were running an old version of the operating system.ST

If you have created any rigs or performance slots with either of the new Kemper drives, you would need to update the stage to the beta as well.

Hi, paults,
If Grooguit restores a backup from the Head (running the beta) to the Stage - that should install the beta on the Stage (no?). That is: The backup includes the Operating System - or have I got that wrong?
Thanks,

No the OS is not included in the backup.

Hi paults.
Thanks for the correction. I should have looked that up in the manual first.
