After more than a year...

Chruschdy · Jun 2nd 2014

I decided that it was the time to get this "magic little" toy

After watching nearly all Kemper related videos on youtube and checking out every article i could find, i took some day off to visit the nearest store that had a unit in stock.

The first test with an Marshall Poweramp via Engl 4x12 was very disappointing ... until i realized that the Cab Signal was sent to the Amp... After turning that off i fell absolutely in Love

So now an unpowered rack version is sitting on my desk at home and waiting to be fully discovered.

For rehearsals i am planning to use my old Line6 Flextone 1 as monitor and with the Midi out i can switch the profiles on the Kemper as well
This should work at first.

Maybe i will get me an FRFR active Box someday... we´ll see.

Welcome - and enjoy your KPA!

Welcome you are going to love the KPA. If you were thinking of a FRFR cab i can highly recommend the yamaha DXR 10's

Welcome,and thanks for the free eyetest with your varied font sizes

londonjeepster: No Problem, glad i could help But seriously i have no clue why it happened

Raoul23: I had a look at the DXRs, but have you tested the different sizes?
Wouldn´t a 12" speaker deliver better low-end?
Seem to be quite interesting.

Welcome, and also check out the CLR's too.. they are all kinds of awsome!

The frequency response of full range powered PA/Monitor cabinets are quite a bit different than traditional guitar speakers when it comes to low end. The amount of low end difference between the DXR10 and DXR12 is very slight when listening to music, and even more slight with a Kemper. The DXR10 has a lot more low end than a 4-12 cabinet.

I tried both the dxr 10 12 and 8 and found the 10 to be the best sounding, less boxy than the 12 and obviously the 10 was cheaper than the 12

Welcome! Enjoy the profiler!

I suggest the QSC K 10 as a fine choice for a FRFR cab

Pentatonic · Jun 3rd 2014

^ and turn on the DEEP switch at the back of QSC for low end. The DEEP switch actually works like a subwoofer. I turn it on or off depending on profile I'm using.

lasvideo · Jun 3rd 2014

HA! I didnt even know there was a deep switch. What determines when you switch it on ?

db9091 · Jun 3rd 2014

Nothing wrong with a power amp into a cab either, but it's different. It's not "what you hear is what you get" like an FRFR.

I like having both options. Either way, Rock On!! (and welcome!)

Welcome and try to get some rest if you can stop playing long enough. And try the Atomic CLRs if you can
