So I'm a new Kemper Powerhead Owner and love this thing! It has a learning curve for sure, but it's worth it. Read the reference manual!
So I am running my Kemper though an Egnater tourmaster 4x12 Cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30's. I played around with it and built our bands setlist up in performance mode with the cabinets turned off, of course. Most of the time I'm running a recto amp and the sounds I'm getting are awesome! In fact I just played my first gig with this setup and to be honest, my first gig at a bar. It went off without a hitch! The only thing that was odd was the soundcheck, because I ran the Kemper to the board with the main output xlr and since the cabinets were turned off it sounded weird...to much tint. I'm sure there is a way to fix that through the menu, I just haven't read that far yet . We ended up putting a mic on the cabinet and it sounded great. Show went off without a hitch.
Fast forward to today..... I just received my Mission Engineering KM-212P!
I wanted to wait for some reviews on this before I bought this but no one is pulling the trigger. So I decided to take the blind leap and get it....and I'm so glad I did!
This thing sounds amazing using the setting's I created for my egnater tourmasterx 4x12. It actually sounds better then my 4x12! I had to asked my wife to come out and blind test the sound because I thought my ears were playing tricks on me.
NOPE.
The Mission Cab blows away the Vintage 30's with the setting's I dialed in for the tourmaster cab. It just brought more highs and crispness to the sound.
I also have a Mission Gemini 1x12 powered cab with Bluetooth and that is a great cab as well, but I feel more impressed with the KM-212.It just feels more ....um...alive I guess. I like the quality of Mission products and that's why I decided to go ahead an pull the trigger on buying this. I had to write this just because I haven't seen any real hands on with this cab besides the one review on sweetwater's website which was not very informative. I cant say enough good stuff about this and hope this helps someone decide to get this cab that has been on the fence like me.
