Hi folks,
I play in a traditional metal band and last night I did my first show with my powerhead. Was using a 5150 profile and it sounded amazing. I was using a 1960a on stage and went direct out to foh. As happy as i was with the tone, i had volume problems....I was maxed out on the power amp boost, maxed out on the monitor volume and my patches were around the 3 oclock mark and I really struggled to hear myself over the thundering drums and bass. We had nothing from the stage monitors so we all relied on our cabs etc...It was a small stage and all our gear was crammed onto the stage with little separation. I was using the cab in 16ohm mode and am now concerned that it wont be loud enough for future shows. Not sure if i had messed up settings somewhere but using the master volume control did nothing due to the way i had set the outputs. Any clue what I might have done wrong? I had thought the kemper could handle the volume required with ease but maybe I was expecting too much? Would switching to 8ohm on the cab be worthwhile to increase the volume?
