Hey chopshop, what amp would you use to drive the 4x12"?

If I got you right, you need two amps and two cabs.

Anyway, the Profiler's Monitor out will do the trick: feed the A/B and go from there to the (two) amps.

The signal you get from the Profiler is already converted to analog, the A/B won't know it was digital before
Things will be better nevertheless, because this time you'll be feeding the Radial with a more robust (line-level) signal than a guitar signal.

Viabcroce, brilliant respond man, thank you so much, will be trying exactly that this weekend. cheers. Ed

does this mean that you playing your kemper through a home stereo receiver coming out of the home stereo speakers ? does that sound good ?

Hi all, just wondering, I am thinking about getting an ABY switch because I have a Fender Twin Reverb that I wanna play with my Kemper and 4X12, reason being that if you use a looper it is always best to have a second amp specially if you play with a lot of gain, now here's my question,

How can I connect my Kemper so it will play both through the 4X12 and when you switch through the ABY switch it will play tthrough the fender ?

Also do you think there will be any tone suckage from the Kemper ? it shouldn't be right ? cause it's digital, I had the Raidial Switchbone which is probably one of the best ABY switch out there and when I had my Engl Invader and the Twin , I noticed a fair amount of tone suckage. so... I don't know. anyone has had any experience with this ? cheers. Ed

come on folks let's see some more,

Ramjam, it is redundant, you can't find anything using kemper forums in google, stuff that people posted in that past are now lost.

so what was the solution ?

sounds pretty cool Hannes_ITS. TGAGuitarist, I have tried typing djent in the Rig Manager and there are about 6 or 7 on there , at different times there are more than 10.

you sure when you renamed it, it didn't have another copy of the same rig in the system ? I have noticed sometimes I have 2 of each and I go and delete it, look for that and rename it again with a number or something like EnglChrous1 and try again, hope you get it sorted out soon.

yeah as I posted, lots of problems with the new forum format, I emailed Ingolf and he replied back and both of us had the email missing, luckily Ingolf emailed me directly with a very informative email regarding my question, Cheers Ingolf. Ed

see if you can email the forum admin directly, ever since the new website forum new format redesign funny things been happening, hope you sort this out soon.

Well friend, I did take some time to compare side by side with a custom Mesa 2x12 that I had back in June. I was playing around with a Yorkville FRFR passive monitor which is by no means a great unit but it is decent enough. Believe it or not, I preferred the Mesa because as I am so used to 30+ years of playing with that 12" speaker cranked behind me.

What changed for me was when a friend of mine invited me over to profile my amp on his Kemper. I had returned mine due to an issue with it shutting off regularly. He was leaving the country for a bit on business and wanted to record some tracks with my amp profiled on it. I noticed he had the atomic CLR sitting in the corner. He also has an Axe FX II.

I then played through my amp. We took the profile of my amp on his Kemper and played it through the CLR. I was a bit shocked to say the least. He needed his Kemper to take with him but he offered me his Axe II and the CLR for a few weeks as he would not be needing them. That is when I started playing around with it and realizing that I could get used to things. I had an opportunity to play around with it on a stage setting along with my amp and realized that I really don't need as much stage volume with the CLR because as Ingolf said, there is no beaming of the sound. It spreads really well.

That was when I realized that I can totally get used to this. In any case, I have returned the amp (after I profiled it of course!) and now I only have my Kemper.

In the next few months, I'm going to try several different FRFR versions including the Line6 LTM, the Yamaha DSR112, and if possible a Mackie HD1221. My end goal is to get the Atomic product. Tom King is a great guy to deal with and has always emailed me or called me back if I needed info. I'm just hoping the exchange rate changes a bit up here because right now, I'd take a bath on the purchase with the duties and taxes. For about $200-300 less, I can get something local that dare I say, is also excellent for FRFR. However, I really like the science behind the Atomic product, so that will be my end goal.

I'm still going to get myself a smaller tube combo. Marshall is apparently coming out with something from Satriani in the new year at Namm. If it is a smaller version of that head, then I am sold because when I owned a JVM410HJS, it was fantastic. If not that then the new Mesa Mark V 25 will do nicely for me.

PBGas, you mentioned Yorkville so I am assuming you are from Canada as Long & McQuade carries that as one of their main products. I am in North Vancouver, BC, I am really interested in your experience with all the different FRFR you mentioned specially the Line6 LTM and Yamaha DSR112 to see the result, please keep me posted on this, you can email me directly and we'll see how it goes, I will not be purchasing any FRFR speakers until I hear your full opinion on this, doesn't matter how long it takes, I am happy with my 4X12 right now. cheers. thanks for the info. Ed

Quote from Steeldom

Maybe one day I'll put together this rig:

Steeldom, there are several things I take out of that, first of all, Axe Fx definitely need a tube power amp not solid state, I speak from experience on this, Line 6 POD HD pro is a great unit and I love it but not necessary at all in this rig, rack tuner ? out of there , line 6 delay outta there, now that would be a killer rig.

Yes... I'm a gear nerd!

lots of cool setups.

I have reeceived mail notifications and these are not showing up in my forum inbox.

Ingolf, how do you get to the forum inbox ? where is it ? cheers. Ed, actually you were one of the guys that I PMd regarding using the KPA with the Podhd500x , I can't find if you replied or not, there was 2 replies back you could have been one of them.

first of all, got my Kemper a couple of weeks ago and it's the best purchase I have ever made. now ever since the redesign or reconfiguration of the website just a few days ago, several things have gone missing, if you search for a topic in google and the kemper threads come up, you click on any of them and it does not send you specifically to that thread, it just send you to the main forum page , you can search there, on which case 100s of subjects come up and you have to waste time hopelessly trying to find what you were looking for. 2, no inbox here ? I asked a question from a couple of forum members and they both replied back very nice of them so I click on notifications up which shows I have 2 and than nothing. absolutely nothing no where to find their reply. The website needs some work.

I really can sound even better. You have a very high quality cab, no question. I've run mine through several high end cabs as well. I used a Bogner UberKab, a regular Bogner with Greenbacks, a very old mid-70s Marshall with original greenbacks, a Diezel 4x12 with K100s and another with V30s as well as a Mesa 2x12 with v30s.

The thing is to that you, like me are probably used to having that 12" speaker sound in your head from using that setup for many years. Not an easy thing to get rid of. However, if you run something like an Atomic CLR or another high quality FRFR, you would be surprised as to how good it sounds. The only thing that messes up the brain is that it is a mic'd tone, not the actual speaker of the amp that so many of us are used to hearing. This came to hit me in the gut when I went over to a friends house to borrow his Kemper as mine was sent back on return. I hadn't heard it through an FRFR setup that was quality (like a CLR) so I was really surprised by how good it sounded.

It's taken me a long time to change how I perceive that. Not an easy thing to do. It's kind of like muscle memory. You have to work it a lot before you can make changes. Strange but true.

PBGas , great points, for sure, one question , have you had a chance to compare a 4X12 next to an FRFR speaker to see the result ? I mean just going over friend place and checking it out off course is gonna sound amazing I am sure than you come home and you play it through your own 4X12 and you go well this sounds pretty damn amazing too. so side by side comparison is what I am after. cheers. Ed

I would imagine it really depends on the quality of the 4X12 cab as well, I mean I am running my power rack into an Engl 4X12 cabinet and there are no latency whatsoever and it sounds absolutely incredible, I have a hard time imagining how it could possibly sound better even through FRFR speakers.

I have the exact same setup and the XLR is the best option no latency no lag nothing, sounds awesome, cheers.

flotto6000 damn that is a nice Ibanez Prestige 7 string love that color.

cool , let's see more.
