1. Same F/X loop I/O and monitor out capabilities in the rack models as the stage model.
2. Since the factory content 8.0, I am extremely pleased with my 2016 purchase of the Kemper rack. It has allowed me to repeatedly downsize my rig due to the powerful new stomps and effects. All I want now is another Gemini 2 to spread out the sound in wide stereo!
3. Keep going in the same direction. The Kemper team and community are the best!
I've been waiting patiently for these reverberations for a long time. Now it's time for a 3 day tweaking session to see what they can really do in conjunction with the delays.
I've been using the Mission Engineering Gemini 2 for three years now and it sounds great because at low volumes you can blend in the EmPower™ active crossover with variable EQ. This sends more or less signal to the 1" high frequency compression drivers. At stage volume I turn down the EmPower™ knob to get more of the 12" speakers and less of the HF drivers. This allows me to precisely dial in a more realistic guitar cabinet sound at any volume. I wish they had the studio model without the fan when I bought mine.
A true stereo input all the way thru would be great. My favorite fuzz pedals in live stereo would be awesome (different blooms, splatter, and fizzing L/R)! Maybe this could be achievable with the front/rear inputs being the L/R and pan controls in stomps A/B/C/D in the future?
I don't want to buy another Kemper and run two simultaneously, but that looks like the only option we have at the moment unless I am mistaken. If I ran two Kempers simultaneously, would the internal oscillators for the internal modulation/time based effects synchronize so I could use the L out of one and the R out of the other?
Regarding cabinets with the Kemper:

When I give lessons during the week I use the line in on a Blackstar BEAM and it sounds great for low volumes too.
I have a similar question. Can I use the 1/4" L&R main outputs to a Mission Engineering Gemini 2 powered stereo amp/speakers (for stage volume) and also use the XLR L&R main outputs to FOH? Will this damage anything or will it simply split the signals? The manual says use either, but nothing about using both at the same time. Has anyone done this?
It would be really nice to have an insight to the ongoing progression of Kemper. For example: A roadmap / timeline on their site under (news) for updates and deadlines they are shooting for.
Ended up with the Kemper Profier and controller. I was tired of lugging all of this heavy gear around. I am very happy with the Kemper after finding the MBritt profiles. My spine is still thanking me.
Here's my Kemper Rig. Weigh lighter and easier to haul/set up.
Here's the drawers pulled out. Using a Mastermind GT22 with this rig. I'm contemplating pulling it for use with the Kemper. I have the KPA foot controller, but it's kinda limiting compared to the Mastermind GT22. Not many good videos to see if it's worth my time to set it up or not. Any thoughts on the matter?
I became a Kemper user because I got too old to carry all of this heavy gear around.

Hello everyone. I've been playing guitar since 1989. I purchased my Kemper Profiling Rack (unpowered), Kemper Remote, Mission Engineering Expression Pedal, and Mission Engineering FRFR amplified cabinet from Sweetwater Music this month. I am overall happy and impressed with the amplifier profiles supplied with the Kemper. I have owned lots of tube amps in my day and still own seven. I am mainly a Fender Stratocaster and VOX AC30 player, but enjoy any good guitar and tube amp.
Examples of sounds I use that I can't find in the Kemper as of today:
1. Eventide Space - Shimmer
2. Supernatural - Shimmer
3. Electro-Harmonix hog 2 - Flute type effect and harmonies with excellent tracking
4. Goosoniqueworx 7thvn - High Gain JFET Distortion
5. Strymon Big Sky - Shimmer
