Balancing the different level of ElectroGuitar strings sounds with Kemper

Maybe give your pickups a slight angle. Or adjust the srews of the pole pieces, if you habe these in your pickups.

As Andy said: pickup height and bridge saddles are the way to go. Is the guitar, not the Kemper

Compensate with pick attack or get a new pickup.

Definitely not the Kemper. Pickup height and possibly saddle height are your main culprits.

The saddles should roughly follow the radius of the neck. It's never perfect. I keep my B and high E strings slightly higher because....I like it that way.

The pickup should slope away from the strings slightly (high E to low E). The guitar manufacturer should have pickup heights to use as a starting point and it varies based on the pickup. Fender is a great example (and resource). From their website:

Set too high, pickups can cause myriad inexplicable phenomena. Depress all the strings at the last fret. Using a 6" (150 mm) ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the first and sixth strings to the top of the pole piece. A good rule of thumb is that the distance should be greatest at the sixth-string neck pickup position, and closest at the first-string bridge pickup position. Follow the measurement guidelines in the chart below as starting points. The distance will vary according to the amount of magnetic pull from the pickup.

	Bass Side	Treble Side
Texas Specials	8/64" (3.2 mm)	6/64" (2.4 mm)
Vintage style	6/64" (2.4 mm)	5/64" (2 mm)
Noiseless™ Series	8/64" (3.2 mm)	6/64" (2.4 mm)
Standard Single-Coil	5/64" (2 mm)	4/64" (1.6 mm)
Humbuckers	4/64" (1.6 mm)	4/64" (1.6 mm)

All the previous ideas can help to some extent. The root cause is related to string gauge. Traditional string sets are prone to a loud G string for instance. You can find info on the web related to Roger Mayer and Hendrix string gauges which were tailored for this reason. Fender sells a set that is supposed to balance out the loudness variation that you describe. I have some of these sets and they work pretty well. Although I sub the high E 10 with a 9.

Well, it depends... mostly on such things as the guitar, strings, pickup etc. but also a player plays (a pun!) an important role. However, the good news for humbucker equipped guitar players is that this method solves pretty much every problem there exists related to this matter: https://www.mylespaul.com/thre…ght-on-humbuckers.450051/

Single coil pickups or other fixed polepieces? Umm... I have no idea.

From what I can find, Hendrix used a custom set:

.010 / .013 /.015 / .026 / .032 / .038

Lots of good stuff here:

I've been buying bulk strings from juststrings.com for several years. It's much cheaper....like $3 per complete set, with tax and shipping included. (I defy anyone to hear or feel the difference. They're excellent strings.) Good choice for custom gauging without killing your wallet.

I've stuck with the standard gauges of 10-46, but at some point will play around.

I use a pretty wide mix of strings depending on the guitar type, how they feel on the guitar, and the kind of music I tend to play with the guitar. String prices have gotten ridiculous IMO. Lately I have been buying bulk strings from juststrings. They're cheaper in comparison to most other strings and I can build my own sets as the mood strikes.

I buy the 25mset shop bulk pack of D’addario 10 -46 from Strings Direct but here in the UK they are still a good bit more expensive than you guys are paying from just strings in the US.
