I'm about to buy the Kemper Profiler PowerHead + Remote Bundle but I'm not sure if I should get the power amp. I'd like to play in stereo using two cabinets but I understand the Kemper power amp can't accomplish that.
Usage: 75% direct recording to computer, 25% playing with a band in a small (15' x 15') room.
Current equipment: Late '70s Marshall 4x12 cabinet, Peavey Classic 50/50 rack-mount head
I think the Profiler Stage Combo (with or without the power head) is sufficient for my direct recording needs, it's playing live that concerns me. If it matters, we're playing mostly 80s metal.
For playing live, I'm thinking I have two options:
1. Buy a second cab to accompany the Marshall cab and use the Peavey Classic 50/50 power amp for stereo. If the Peavey isn't a great option, I'd appreciate that feedback as well.
2. Buy two FRFR cabinets (Kemper cabs perhaps). Can the Kemper power amp drive two Kemper cabs in stereo or am in the same boat as Option 1, meaning I still need a stereo power amp?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I haven't played in 20 years, hence the age of my equipment and lack of knowledge with the modern digital environment.
