KPA to FOH and DXR10 - First Timer Live Tips?

  • Hey guys - newb here. I'm *really* hoping to get my new KPA (unpowered toaster) out of the basement and into live use in the next week or so.


    I plan to self-monitor with a DXR10 with another line to FOH - in my case, a manned sound board at a church.


    There won't be a lot of time fuss with settings to FOH before practice starts, so if anyone has tips to pass along on volume, EQ or similar 'wish I'd known...' kind of stuff, I'd sure appreciate it! :D

  • That is pretty much what I used for this live performance of Jump (KPA Rack with DXR10, monitor out to DXR10, main out R to PA, unlinked at about -15 dB or so), using the bundled Gundy Brown Sound EVH factory rig... audio quality not that hot, as it was recorded on a little handheld camera. BTW this was the first night out with the DXR10, I received many compliments on my tone that evening, including from our bassist...

    Great sound!


    Seems a shame to have a Kemper in the same room as those Behringer speakers though ;)

  • Thanks for the kudos!


    What can I say? Not my PA...


    I have yet to hear a band play with a Kemper that the guitar didn't sound great.


    I suspect that this is due to a couple of reasons. The first is that only someone pretty serious about having great tone would put down the cash for a Kemper, and the second is that the Kemper just really sounds great ..... moreover, it is fairly easy to get it to sound great.
