Boy... I disappear for a month and all kinda stuff pops up....

Xitone 1x12 MBritt open/closed back convertible I have is good sounding and loud.
Line 6 Powercab Plus 1x12 I have is lighter and good.
A lot of nights I run into my sidefill monitors on poles which are JBL EON615's. They sound excellent and are plenty loud.
I also have and use the very heavy Gemini 2 that sounds great for reference.
All 4 of the above are good and viable solutions in my experience with them.

GLiDE-BPM - my wife would gut me from crotch to eyeball with a dull deer antler if I spewed enough cash for the Gemini after buying this expensive toy! LOL!
Sometimes I just use the sound on my JBL EON615 sidefill monitors and don't use dedicated FRFR at all. They are economical and sound almost add awesome as my Gemini 2! I keep getting more lazy and piping more guitar into them. They are on poles pointing toward us on stage. They get pretty freaking loud if you need that to feel more like the air pushed by a cab on stage. It's more simulated because up on a pole about face level, you don't need a ton of volume to pound your head into the wall.
I call it a more simulated amp feel. An EON615 has plenty of power to go on the floor and still make your ears bleed. The combination of that 15" and that horn do a great job for guitar, especially compared to some other 15" plus horn boxes.
I actually build my presets using a cranked EON615 at the house. They sound great on the Gemini 2 as well, so I just keep building using the EON615.
You can find EON615's for $500 and less. Check Proaudiostar. They even have used for $299.

Max, first of all, so very for the loss of your mother earlier this year! I just added Kemper back into my world after they came out with the Stage. I already had kept Helix and purchased Axe FX 3.
Would have bought the full pack earlier had I known your misfortune!
Looking forward to loading them up tomorrow and sampling everything while watching college football!
Prayers up and God bless you and your family!

Forgot how great Profiles sounded!!! So I own the Big 3 again...
Going to have fun with this Stage pedal version!!!

I'll be a kid with a new toy Monday! Couldn't pass up 12 months no interest at Zzounds. Sweetwater has no deals with Kemper other than 6 payments no interest.
I haven't paid a dime of interest with Sweetwater over the last 9 years. I use the heck out of that $12,500 line. LoL!
I've already gathered all my old profile libraries ready to go through rig manager and sample the farm!
-
Yup, said the same thing and got it at release. Love it, and when the bugs are ironed + editor is available out it'll be great!
I hear ya, brother! Not like I don't have several years of Kemper experience, either. I can work through the bugs since it's a 3rd "toy". You know you're obsessive compulsive when you buy arguably the top 3 digital guitar "noise makers" and keep all 3. Roflmao!!!
-
since I already have an Axe FX 3 and a Helix floor unit, I'm not sticking my neck on the chopping block.
I just always said if Kemper came out with a floor version I'd add it to my collection again. It'll be here early next week from Zzounds. Guess I'll find out first hand if I get one with hardware/software problems.
Won't be mission critical with my other noise boxes!
-
No prob! I find that I have no problem competing with other guitarists with 4x12's and 2x12's with tube amps with the Gemini 2.
It's obviously VERY conservatively rated for the 2x12 model. Can't speak for their 1x12 Gemini 1.
I have the Xitone MBritt convertible open/closed back 1x12 and it has the original plate amps he was using from Matrix.
That little f@#%er is loud as heck, too!
I also have a Line 6 PowerCab Plus, which is the least loud of the 3. However, it actually sounds great with a band that doesn't have
really loud stage volume. It's loud enough to piss your neighbors off.
