vtgearhead yeah the situation has been similar here in EU, fact is thee things sell faster than hot buns. Why don't you just call them, not sure about the US but here they are really friendly peeps on the support line
so i got the Kabinet last week as promised and when i first tried it out i had some really nasty rattling as soon as i hit a bass string. Called them up and they told me that until now they did not have a faulty Kone but some of the kabs had issues with assembly and some bolts/screws not properly tightened. They were happy to have me send it back and get a replacement (apparently despite the sold out status they keep a certain quantity in stock for replacements) but they also said i could easily open up the cab without voiding the warranty and tighten the bolts myself .. which i did. The backpanel didn't wanna come out at first so i took out the connection plate and then used the hole as a handle to pull it out. It's really tightly crammed in there so that was a bit scary. Tightened all the bolts inside a bit more (none of them was obviously loose), put it back together and the rattle was gone.
And it sounds really amazing. I was also surpised how well it sounds at low volumes, haven't really let it rip yet since i'm not used to play at super loud volumes anymore and will wait until i'm back home to pump it up and go through the Marshall bank. The sound is quite different from what i'm used to playing the toaster through headphones or my monitors but tbh for me all 3 variants sound amazing in their own way. As for the imprints (haven't tried out full range mode yet), personally i think it's a gimmick for nerds (which isn't meant as negative as it probably sounds). Maybe it's because i don't play covers and never wanted to sound like anyone in particular but myself that i've never been one for chasing grails and tbh i rarely care what particular guitar/pups/pedals/amps/cabs i play ... either it inspries me or not ... if it sounds it sounds and i never understood the extensive and sometimes heated debates i see online about which is 'the best' or 'most authentic'. At low and medium volume i (and the other two guitarists in the family) can't hear a huge difference in tone from the different imprints but only subtle frequency shifts .. and all sound good to me. Maybe that perception will evolve over time but i doubt it cause as i said .. to me .. if it sounds it sounds and i don't care much how or why, after over a year and a halfwith the kemper is still don't have any favorites and dial up a different rig almost everytime i play
the one thing i think is a bit of a design flaw is the position of the rubber feet. It's not super stable with the toaster sitting on top and i'd be afraid to topple the whole rig or rip the toaster from the base with a slight tug on the jack. I think i'm going to redrill the feet all the way to the corners for a bit more stability and probably keep the toaster in the shelf i built for it where it can't fall down. The leather handle and corner thingies are a nice touch ... but still not diggin the green but hey tastes and colors as the french say ...
so bottom line for me ... sounds amazing, much more 'guitar amp' than over monitors and way better than the couple of standard cabs i tried in the shop or at home ... so once again .. happy Kemper.
That's a good point about the positioning of the feet. I'm definitely going to move mine closer to the corners as it really does feel unstable with the head on top.

I never claimed that an Axe-Fx II can be updated via firmware to sound like an Axe-Fx III; however, the Axe-Fx II's Tone Match feature can create a fairly indistinguishable reproduction of most Axe-Fx III tones, but there's no way I'd go back to the Axe-Fx II because the features of the III are head and shoulders above the II.
Well then you are missing my point.
I'm comparing their flagship model from 2012 and the 2019 one, regardless of what they call them. I still think the Kemper of each of those years is a better sounding amp than either and doesn't have the built in obsolescence.
I'm not saying the Axe-FX is crap. I'm saying Kemper is the best I've tried or heard.
-
I didn't realise that an Axe-FX II can be updated to sound exactly like an Axe-FX III.
-
I thought the firmware can be updated for free.
-
Curious to know what the hardware differences are in the early Kempers that makes them sound different even once they're updated to the latest software.
-
If that's the case then I'm wrong and apologise.
-
*sigh... never mind. You're trying hard to not get the point.
-
insults aren't a valid substitute for substantive rebuttal. I understood your point. I don't agree with nor relate to it, and you were also factually inaccurate.
He tried really hard to get you to understand his correct point. You can take an original Kemper from way back and simply update it with their free software and when you're done it's identical to a new one in terms of sound and features.
Are you saying you can buy a Fractal from 8 years ago and do the same?
-
Any aircon units nearby that weren't going until recently?
-
They announced it early to try to prevent people from buying the Kemper Stage.

That's really fantastic work! You nailed it! ????
-
I bought 2 when I got mine. Let me know if you don't have any joy.

One person's crutch is another's efficiency. ?
I'm not talking about an incredibly complicated requirement. My Kemper head has 4 Stomp buttons and my remote has 4 effects buttons. I'd like a global option that automatically maps these.
Whether it's easy/ doable/ hard I have no idea, of course.
I'm happy to map the Effects manually to Tap and use morphing if I need stage control over those.
-
He's really switching fast between the clean and lead sounds. Could be the neck pickup with the volume rolled back and he's switching between that and the bridge.
Sounds more like a nice, fat Marshall clean then pushed with a distortion pedal.
-
I've requested a feature around this. I'm hoping for an auto assign that can map the Stomps and Effects globally to remote buttons.
-
I don't have experience with all the speakers whose imprints are available, but of the ones I do - I think they're spot on.
This is me too. I've had a lot of experience with Celestion V30 speakers and I think the Kabinet is spooky close.
-
Agreed! Each pickup will have a sweet spot in terms of height. Whatever output you get at that point is what you get and you adjust the amp accordingly.
Most of the guitars I set up for other people have them adjusted too high.
-
I have Input presets for each of my guitars.
My goal is to make the profiles react more or less the same in terms of gain.
