KPA Rack vs. Toaster

Welcome!

a used white toaster sounds like your best bet to me

Welcome!

Welcome I think a toaster version would suit or needs best, plus you will benefit from the LED's that the toaster has to offer over the rack version. I have both and miss the LED's on my rack version

Hi all! I'm looking to buy a KPA here in the next 30-60 days and will be using out of the house 2x per week (church practice and playing), possibly 1x gig per month beyond that, and fun @ home, so significant transport.

Totally love the white finish on the toaster, so much so that I'd accept a little more wear and tear for the look - gear is the only thing I'm vain about, lol. Would definitely be buying a soft case and will be picking up the remote, as well (can't wait !)

Now if Kemper made a white rack version...

Anyone care to chime in???

Thanks!

I have used my toaster, just as you describe, for the past 2-1/2 years. I use IEMs in church and have an Atomic CLR at home for tweaking patches. I just plug in and play. Without any effort, I can get all of the "atmospheric" guitar pads that are the staple of a lot of worship music. Then, with the press of a footswitch (I have the Remote, and it's awesomely simple to set up and use) I can rip a lead at will.

There was no rack unit when I got mine, and when the rack came out I had a twinge of GAS...when I came to my senses, I realized that the toaster is quite a bit more portable, and I'm glad that the rack wasn't an option earlier or I would have chosen poorly (for me).

Our sound guy loves the simplicity and consistency of what is passed on to him. We have another guitar player who uses a traditional miced, amp and head setup with a very expensive pedal board. His FOH tones don't compare IMO....btw, he is a very good player.

I'm with Raoul on this one. I miss the extra LEDs as well as the white finish. I'd also go rack mount no matter which way you go, the bags are tough until someone drops it.... I do a lot of shows too and take no chances with my baby.

The Toaster is WAY sexier for horny chicks and old chickens too

I love my white toaster

Welcome!
Go toaster!

I love my toaster... Be sure.
Welcome!

I've got a black (green) toaster and it is great. I wanted a white one originally, but there were none in stock and I got a good deal on the one I have. I use is every week in church as well. I just power a cheap monitor wedge (not a great sound for me, but it is ok) and FOH gets a sweet signal. If you can find a white toaster in good shape, go for it!

May I suggest the "roaster":
