KEMPER POWERED W/ EHX MAGNUM 44

sorry if this has been brought up before, & i have searched & read till my eyes hurt, i am thinking of purch the mag 44, i will be running thru 4x12 cab, will it have enough power & headroom to use without getting into breakup( the mag 44) ? i am hoping some one has used this setup, & will post, i play loud R&R with a loud drummer & 2 other guitarist= hard rock/ southern rock/classic rock.. but also play a couple of CLEAN songs (thats another concern for the head room) i have a crate powerblock that i purchase new a few years ago, but it wont run out of both outputs, so if the 44 mag will work, i would probably end up getting 2 of them ( small & portable) please let me know , thanks roger

paults, thanks for reply, P/block is not working w/ L & R speaker outs, also tried to go from PB aux in to kpa master out = only one side works, explain to me how toConnect the Kemper to the red and white "CD In" thanks , roger

The Powerblock can "run out of both outputs" (Left and Right).

Connect the Kemper to the red and white "CD In"

or

Connect the Kemper to the Left and Right "Line In" .

thank you, thats what i was worried about..

Quote from yarzo

To be honest I don't think Magnum 44 will cut it with a loud drummer and 2 other guitar players. I'd save your money and find another solution. There is a review of the EHX Mag 44 at Musician's Friend from someone who tied it with a KPA (not a positive review). The comment was that it has no headroom.

PM sent, thank you

I use the crate setup with a cabinet. I have the monitor out connected to the line in and then setup my Kemper to use the master volume knob to control the monitor volume. You could also run the mains into the line in using a y cable. The left...right...mono connections are speaker outputs as the crate can run in stereo. Let me know if this makes sense. I can send you some pictures if you pm your email.

thanks, i'm just trying to use what i have currently ( but was thinking of 2 x 44 magnums,oh well), i have tons of gear, just dont want to lug bulky heavy stuff around anymore (bad back & rt knee), in fact i have identicle amps at my shop & at the drummers jam room CARVIN V3 's W 4x12 cabs, because i dont like to move gear anymore, & as far as waiting, i'm getting tired of it(not very patient, only thing i want from KPA is F/C..

Quote from Guitartone

I've tried the Magnum 44 with the KPA a few times in music stores.
Yes, it works, sounds very good as the cheapest possible lowish volume solution.
But, why not wait for the Kemper poweramp or buy the built in poweramp that's currently available.

i'm afraid you are correct, it isn't worth having repaired, must have been bad from the start , i purch new, just never tried the rt channel till now

Quote from guitarnet70

Looks like your powerblock is brocken, take it in for repair.

thanks, tried that also..

Quote from grorig

rdwilson, try to connect the power block as follows:

KPA - L- out ---) PB -L- line in
KPA - R- out ---) PB -R- line in

PB - L - speaker out ---) CAB L
PB - R - speaker out ---) CAB R

The BRIDGE /MONO switch must be disengaged (out position)
