Next time I'm bringing my tube head & 4x12 with v30's in it.

I'll also make sure to disable to cabinet. I'm pretty sure I did so last time, but it'd make sense if I didn't.

Can I use the kemper stage with the so-called 4 cable method? I've owned this unit for some time now & I'm still not comfortable with editing & storing performances etc.

This really breaks down the performance mode, it's really powerful, you shoudl check it out.

I got my Stage yesterday and played through it for about 10 minutes in my IEMs before I had to leave, and I coupled it with a QC K10.2. Got to try out the setup for a while today, and I had no issues with it being fuzzy. The AC-30 profiles sounded like my AC-30. The Marshall profiles sounded like my Marshall half-stacks. The profiles of many of the other amps sounds really great too.

I really think I just need to set up a performance with some rigs & effects and I'll be good to go. Many great profiles right out of the box!

Total newb here, thinking about amplification possibilities for my Stage... could I replace the speakers in an old Roland Jazz-Chorus 120 with Kones and run it through the effects return?

I'm wondering if it would be ok as far as matching up ohms, I think the JC-120 is 2 60-watt amps powering 2 8ohm speakers normally, and the Kone is 4ohms, will this be OK?

Is there a reason to think this is a horrible idea sonically if electrically it's safe? Is swapping out the speakers in a solid state amp something folks are doing?

Hey guys, I've purchased a Profiler Stage, but haven't received it yet, and have been obsessively reading about it before it arrives. I'm a traditional player before this, buncha pedals run in front of a tube amp, mainly an ac30 or a fender evil twin.

I own a Roland JC-120, and the manual specifically says a solid state amp would be superior to tube amp, so I've been planning to try it at rehearsal going through the effects return on the JC-120. But I've been wondering exactly what linisius is experiencing - if I'm at home and I'm playing through something else (let's say IEMs plugged directly into the Profiler Stage) and I set up a performance w/ rigs for clean, crunch, lead, etc - I'm thinking I should get pretty close tone when I plug it into the effects return on the JC-120, shouldn't I? Planning to use monitor out, and turn off cab simulation (sorry if I don't have the correct terms here). Does that mean I should have cab simulation turned off when I'm selecting profiles/tweaking in my IEMs at home?

All of this makes me feel like there are 2 "realms" going on here - the guitar cab realm and the FRFR realm, and it doesn't really seem like you can crossover between the two really easily, and theoretically, the only way to have consistent sound wherever you go is if everywhere you use it you're in the "FRFR" realm. So if I'm at home on my IEMs, and go to rehearsal and have an FRFR or something similar, and also running out the mains to FOH at a venue, only then are they all in the "FRFR" realm, and should sound the same? Does this sound right/make sense?

Then I watch FRFR shootout videos and they all sound different. haha!

Anyways, thank you for this forum, I've just been reading the threads and trying to figure stuff out!
