Definitely use an instrument cable, not speaker or mic.
In the output section, make sure Kemper Kone is ON, Choose an imprint, and Cabinet Off Enabled.

Every Rig sounds good with this Reverend Charger 290.
P90's with a bass roll off knob on top.
P90s RAWK!

What computer OS are you running?
-
200w TC Bam200 has been recommended here on numerous occasions. No idea about the one you listed though.

Welcome to the nut house!

So close to pulling the trigger on a Kemper stage and a Klone. Just do not know if it will be that much better than the Helix.
Only one way to find out... do it.
The great thing (among many) is that you have access to numerous profiles of the same/similar amp to choose from. Yes it's a different workflow, but it's very satisfying. Haven't played a Helix myself but I'm not tempted at all. Currently running Kemper unpowered head with one or two Kabinets, live or at home.

I have experience with 3 stereo amps, and in no particular order:
Camplifier 290. Not what you're looking for because it installs in the toaster head, but is great clean power. Class D. They have outboard options as well.
ISP Stealth pro. Another good option, but there's no on/off switch so unplugging and plugging in you see sparks. Hmmm... Sounds good though. Class A/B
Seymour Duncan SD 700. Best of breed methinks. Amazing amounts of power for any application. Only thing I don't like is the inputs are on the front. Class D.
All of them can keep up with a drummer with the advent of the Power Amp Boost feature.

Saw this on the gearpage a while back...
Yeah, as an unabashed PRS toady, I'm out.
-
I chose natural. Not because I don't like a nice stain/finish, but because I'm a fan of earth tones. So I like the brown, orange, reds, and yellows of autumn I suppose.
-
You can use them both a once.
Nice, I've never tried that. Any change in levels using both at once?
-
On Stage I use Send for looper. Not sure if you can do it with toaster.
Yeah, the Stage has an extra output.
-
Sorry, I didn't see the word "main" in the original post.
Hmmm... maybe a Stage would work better? Or perhaps a small mixer?
-
Maybe I'm missing something, but you can send stereo or mono to FOH with the Main outs.
This would leave your Monitor/direct outs for your stage monitoring.

In Rig Manager, click on the rig button, then click on the Cabinet and choose something other than Global Imprint. Then Store
-
I have connected the laptop and the KPA With a USB cable and going into the help section and clicked on “check for software updates” it seems to offer an in-store to 7.3 .2 but each time I click on “install updates” it fails….. any advice, anyone?
What version of computer operating system are you on? Windows 7 won't work.
-
Maybe tell us what you have done so far?
Have you updated rig manager?

-
because PRS.
Bwahahahaha!!! Exactly!

Display MoreA million years ago, I ran a separate stereo PA for my guitar. When I played, it sounded like the voice of the almighty. That didn't last long. It was just too much work, and I came to understand, it was a distraction from the song.
When I had a two-guitar/vocalist band (basically a duo with a rhythm section), we ran mono. Our whole schtick was the interplay of vocals and guitar, back and forth, call and response, or guitar harmonies. Mono was the traditional PA setup.
One day we set up our PA so you heard my vocals and guitar from stage right where I was standing, and you heard my buddy from stage left where he was standing. We got tonnes of feedback from our regulars. All of a sudden, there was a clear correlation between what they saw and what they heard. It was like they could follow the bouncing ball as we tossed it back and forth. They were finally in on the joke, and they loved it. We did that for years, and in the venues where we could use the PA to localize our positions in the sound field, it worked well for us, and we worked it hard.
I bring the same mindset to a one-guitar band because I'm only in one spot on the stage. My sound doesn't need to be as wide as the stage or to appear to come from everywhere. But I'm rethinking this, not as a simulation of being twice as big, but trying to understand the rush of emotion I get when I kick in the double tracker. Lots to think about as I ponder how I'd use it.
That's what I like about the Bose L1 approach.
I used to have a 3x12 with the 1x12 combo behind me (slightly stage right), and the 2x12 all the way stage left.
Coverage was fabulous.
What I'd like to do is run mono most of the time, and run stereo/Double track at the flip of a switch.

The double tracker has me rethinking my ideas about running stereo in a live setting. I can see using this in a solo project or when it's me with a rhythm section. My rehearsal setup is mono or stereo with a twist of a couple of pan controls. I had a ball with the double tracker for several hours yesterday. I'm wondering if I'm willing to run stereo live or run mono, but stereo in my in-ears.
Me too. I have stereo amp and two Kabinets.
Thing is it's a 2 guitar band though.
No harm in trying it right?
