hmmm power amp or no power amp

  • ALL


    I used to own a Kemper, for a short while, but decided to come back home:)


    I am deciding between a power head, and a non powered unit


    After reading through forums, and getting feedback here is where I cannot decide.


    I have read that running the power head through a guitar cabinet isn't enough power in a live band situation. My friend is in a blues band, and he didn't like it. He said it didn't stand up to a loud band. He also said they had no PA system


    I have also read that that to surely get enough power to keep up with a loud band is to run the non powered Kemper through a 50 or 100 W power amp, or use the power section of an amp with an effects loop and you have no issues


    Thoughts?

  • Thank you for your reply


    Why do you say more options? In what way? Allowing the power amp to color your tone or something?

  • My set up is a small monitor on stage and the main signal direct to FOH-Mixer of PA-Sistem
    You can use a stronger active FH-Box if you need loudness on stage (or do not have a PA) or just In-ear monitoring as lot of people do here.


    The sound should be make by the Kemper and not by the PA.
