I strongly agree about light top heavy bottom. I used those throughout the 80's and now always use balanced sets.

SRV would have snapped 9's with his huge hands and ferocious attack.

I once set my Strat up with 13's tuned down a whole step and it was like wrestling. I also don't like the huge low mid snap for most things.

If the tablet loses connectivity, the mixer keeps going, BTW. 😀

I'm a big fan of the mixer + tablet format.

I've been covering a few songs with Steve Lukather on them, so I have to keep a guitar strung with 9's, but they really don't cut it for any kind of fat clean tone with my style.

10's are the sweet spot for me, with 11's too strong in the lower end.

I'm really looking forward to upgrading! Thanks x 1,000,000 for the high/low pass filters as well!!!

With an electric + piezo you can blend the 2, which some people dig. I'm really looking forward to 7.5 😎

I think 10's would be the best option. Even tuned down a half step 11's are more of a fight than 9's in standard. Heavy strings are a waste of time and effort on an electric IMO.

I still use 12-54 on acoustic, because that does make a big difference to driving the top.

Thanks Carlo. My reply was mostly aimed at the original post, but all is good.

I can't emphasize the quality of the speakers enough though. My Kemper head sounds great through a Bogner Shiva with 2 x 12 Celestion V30 speakers, either unpowered into the effects return or just driving the speakers with the Kemper power amp.

I also have a 2x12 Blackstar cab with lower end Celestions in it and it sounds meh.

I also have the Kabinet and it sounds great too.

Have you got the Cab enabled? If so you're adding speaker colour twice - once from there profiled amp and again with the Marshall (which might not have a great speaker if it's SS).

I can't tell you how to measure it, but I only use 2 different options for the main outs. In both I have the Master output at full, but if the desk needs less I use the -12 db setting in the Output menu.

This seems to work for me and it's repeatable.

Hello from Orcland. ?

Hi there. If your power amp is just 1 channel, then you can't achieve stereo. Adding another speaker will just give you more mono.

To get stereo you need a stereo amp. Then use delays/reverbs/panorama/rotary as needed to give the stereo effect.

I think higher volume is usually responsible for the perceived difference. Pushing air is just that - volume.

I think nobody should expect lower volumes to envelop you like a tube amp does. The Kabinet does this.

At the limit I think there's still a slightly more "chewy" or organic nature to real tube amps, so for me there's always a small tradeoff of perfection for a vast canvas of amp sounds to paint with.

If I had "a sound" like some players I'd probably use a Princeton or Shiva and that's still what I prefer in a studio setting. But from home studio and live the Kemper is perfect for me.

I don't want to over sell it, but the powered head and the Kabinet is my dream rig. I really love the way it sounds. Take a feed to a PA if needed and away you go.

I'm assuming you can just select the lock button after a long press of the Cab button when it's off.

Actually, I'd expect it to sound tighter bypassing the Effects and using the delay/ reverb (if necessary) on the mic at the desk.

Are there any general tips for what type of profile/ pickups translate into a great talk box sound?

Is there any chance you pushed the speaker too loud with the Power rack and damaged the speaker?

Actually, can you place the loop after the Amp, Cab and Effects sections?

That's an excellent solution!
