    Growing up in America, where my dad was part of the very first generation of Hot Rodders (early post WW2)......this phrase says more to me than anything else. Bravo.

    A more engine-focused variant of this phrase is "The only substitute for cubic inches is more cubic inches."

    “Without music, life would be a mistake.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

  • This looks really good, well done Team Kemper!


    I have been waiting for this for a while, having an unpowered Kemper, but I am now a bit curious to know what's the difference between going with a power amp into an unpowered Kabinet versus going into a powered Kabinet.


    I'm also curious if anyone would suggest going with a different kind of cabinet altogether? I have an EVM12L equipped cabinet I like with the Kemper, but have yet to try the Kabinet. I play metal, so it's a real dilemma for me over whether to spend or abstain.

  • UPS delivered already!

    Oh man, this looks SO GOOD, and it sounds SO GOOD!

    The 3rd picture is a Power Kabinet plus a normal Kabinet.

    What a great halfstack, in stereo!

    This is the missing piece for a complete ecosystem of tonal bliss.

    Thank you, Kemper!

  • Man I am happy for you!! I'm glad you think it is worth it, I will probably make the plunge as soon as it is available in the US. - I can probably find it but what was your previous setup?

    Previous setup was a Kabinet I powered with a Seymour Duncan PS-170 (I own a Stage).

    Now in glorious stereo! ;)

  • Does it sound better than normal unpowered Kabinet. ?

  • How would I balance a Kabinet hooked to a powered profiler and add a Powered kabinet to monitor out? The wattage meter is only for the regular Kabinet. Would I just use my ears at center stereo field to check volume level from the powered profiler wattage meter of the regular kabinet?

    Using your ears is great practice I think.




  • Congratulations, Ingolf !


    Big question: powered Kemper into unpowered Kabinet vs outputs into powered Kabinet. Which do you prefer? Which route would you suggest if I can only get one Kabinet, if price isn't a consideration?

  • Hmmm...

    I have 2 Kabinets and a SD700 amp with an unpowered toaster.

    Today, I can gig both Kabs with 2 electrical cords behind me, and a cable for my remote to the back.

    If I were to start again with powered Kabs I'd have 3 electrical cords behind me, and a cable for the remote.

    If I had a Stage I'd have one electrical cord, and two cables from the Stage to the back, and 2 more electrical cords at the back (total 3).

    Hmmm... just thinkin' out loud... or typing silently...:D

    Powered Kemper into unpowered vs into powered Kabinet sounds exactly the same.

    If you are determined to stay on a powered version of the Profiler go unpowered. If you are eyeing for a Stage consider a powered one.

  • Well...

    I think you're covered.

    The SD-700 is as good as it gets.

  • THAT is a great explanation!!!
