Thanks kemper and need some simple advice

    I have had my Kemper for 2 weeks and I can't stop playing it. Awesome and thanks again to Kemper.


    Now right now I'am using a Marshall 4x12 cab with 2 Celestion Vintage 30s in a x-pattern and I love it with the high gain stuff and classic rock but not so much on the Fen cleans and vox profiles. So my ? is any advice on a 2x12 cab for the clean chime and blues growl is welcomed. I'am leaning towards a Dr Z best or a Avatar cab with a Celestion gold and a Celestion heritage. I prefer cabs over FRFR(old school)


    I know this has been asked but I want to wait for the Kemper footswitch(if its even going to happen) or bite the bullet and buy a midi foot controller. Its would make using the KPA live a lot more pleasing. advise also welcomed.

    Concerning the cabs or the speakers there is no simple solution. Every cab or speaker type will colour the sound so much that you will lose a lot of the authencity of a profile that has a totally different speaker layout. A Marshall profile will never sound like a Marshall when played over Fender style Jensen speakers. On the other hand a Fender profile will never sound like a Fender when played over a 1960 Marshall. The only way is to go FRFR. Use a neutral sounding active monitor like the Yamaha DXR or the Atomic CLR.

    Hey Tyler I have looked into Atomic CLR, I have the powered rack so would I get the passive model ? I do get great Marshall sounds thru my 1960 cab along with other HG models but your right the Fender cleans and boutique amps don't sound great thru the 1960a.


    I really need a easy to move cab that can be used for mostly blues. I use my 1960a for band settings(80s metal and classic rock covers) and love it.


    Thanks for the help

    Hi Manchild. I have one of these that I use with my PowerRack, play almost exclusively Fender profiles, and I haven't had a problem. In fact, the lead guitarist in a surf band I play with (who's a bit of a purist and plays through an original Super Six from the 60's) commented on how great it sounded at a small gig we played the other night. The 60's Deluxe Reverb I usually use is being serviced, you see. (By the way, if anyone's interested, I used my Strymon El Capistan on the shortest delay possible with the spring reverb emulation turned fully up and the mix knob at 12 o'clock in a stomp slot as a mono loop, to get that surf reverb wash in the absence of a spring reverb in the Kemper. Bit of a blag, but it sounded pretty damn good!)


    Cheers,
    Sam

    Thanks guys for the advice. I took my KPA to a local music shop and played thru a Dr Z 2x12 best cab and Yamaha DXR's which I was not sold on.I understand that it needs more tweaking but I bought the Dr Z 2x12 cab because it sounds like heaven. I will add after I purchase a Liquid foot midi controller I will purchase a Atomic CLR passive but right now a 2x12 works better for me.


    Thanks again
