wait till the Kemper cabs will be out
don't waste your money
I have the unpowered kemper and in the past I have only ever used combo amps so I never had to worry about the amp/speaker combination. What sort of power amp would I need to use with Kemper and the passive Kemper Cab?

TGP user Gasp100 just got the new Tech 21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxe and gives a very good review (he has Fractal though). His posts can be seen here and a few more following posts:
https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?posts/27965589/
What do y'all think about trying this out for Kemper? Should we wait for the new Kemper Cabs? Or are the Kemper Cabs going to be $1000+ like all the other high quality FRFR's?
The Tech 21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxe is only $450, and I am thinking of getting one. Please talk me out of it! lol jk
Thoughts?

I have been out of town all week... did Kemper release any information on KEMPER_CABS????
-
I ordered two active Red Sounds a few days ago from Thomann. They should arrive tomorrow. Really looking forward to try they out. Heard so much good about them.
I have been playing with DXR10’s for a couple of years now, but I have never get used not having the cabinet feel. Hope I’ll get that back now
VID-EE-OH!

I have the 112 coming. I can let you know how it is! The 108 would be lacking in bass I feel like. You don't here of many cabs with 8" speakers though I'm sure it's different than a regular guitar cab.
Awesome!!! You definitely need to post a video and review the sound after tinkering with it for a bit
-
That's awesome and of course I understand that. I'm in the tough spot where I dug to the bottom of my pockets to already invest in a Kemper alone so another grand isn't going to happen anytime soon
But then that also begs the question.. do I just buy something like an Alto TS212 until then.. or just wait
... I second this!
Headrush just released a FRFR 108 for only $199. I am honestly thinking about trying this before I jump straight to a RS-LG12 because of the massive price difference.

Mirko is an artisan who works small volumes but he does that with passion.
in the end, I am happy he had my money vs. a bigger company
You should record a video of you playing through it!
-
OK here are some pics !
As you can see its sits perfect on the rack, but will go back to a putting a rack on top of the cab instead of this ...
How's the RedSound sound?

Finally I got my RedSound LG12 Passive Stack 1x12 Cab yesterday.
The first impression: "It sounds GREAT!" Seems to be the perfect solution for me now with the powered Kemper.
I never really liked the sound of "real" FRFR solution. To my ear it sounded harsh and a bit thin... I always liked the amp in the room sound... but with a cab I was not satisfied either, because I missed the high frequencies. It always sounded a bit muffled to me.
The RedSound is in between FRFR and CAB, has lots of clarity without being too harsh. And now I can use the different cabs from all the amazing profiles out there... And it sounds good at any volume level!
Still playing a bit with the eq settings on monitor out to get the perfect sound, but I am really close to what I want.Here is what I have tried so far:
Powered Kemper with 1x12 Vox BC112 Cabinet, Marshall 1960A 4x12, Yamaha DXR10, Samson active nearfield monitors, RedSound LG12 passive 1x12
For me the RedSound is the best joice if you like the feeling of a cab behind you with the clarity of FRFR. And since it sounds good on low volume it is perfect for practicing at bedroom volume.
A few months out, do you still like the RedSound FRFR?
-
Great playing and I'm digging the profile! I'll have to check it out.
-
Great review!! Thanks for sharing.

I have a cheap Behringer UMC22 and it works fine
I'm sure people will say you have to buy a $700 interface, but this is just IMHO and YMMV etc.
Some people swear by SPDIF, others (check forums or google) here say that the difference between analog and SPDIF is too indistinguishable to tell.
-
Come to think of it... are there any good ways to sort through the Rig Exchange?
I mean, I guess I can just start clicking and trying them all, or "sort by" ratings or Gain or whatever, but a good "explore" mode would be cool. Or maybe keywords that the profiles are associated with... for example "John Mayer Tone from Slow Dancing in Burning Room" or something.
Just thinking out loud.

I'm using the Thomann head case as well.
Heavy is relative.
I was actually curious about the total weight since my original post didn't include it, so I weighed it out.
Case + Head + Remote + EP1 pedal (forgot I had this in the case) + minor cords/earphone/misc = about 40 lbs. Considering the Vox AC15 is just about 48 lbs, I guess I save 8lbs but still, my goodness. Lugging 40 lbs up/down stairs every time I play is very fun hhahaha.
Once again, not a complaint. But definitely something I had not considered.
-
So I am very happy with my Kemper <--- Bottom line lol.
And this post isn't a complaint, I want to protect my investment more than I care about the weight of carrying it around.
There are many reasons why I switched to Kemper, one of which is to avoid lugging my 50 lb Vox AC15 around.
However, the Thomman hard case + Kemper + remote is extremely heavy too, I think someone did the math and it was like maybe 5-10 lb lighter?
Anyways, this obviously isn't a complaint, more like an opening of dialogue of how you guys handle this.

I was re-watching the official kemper videos here

And then I would position the noise gate after the Green Scream and before stack?
-
if its mainly open string feedback when you are not playing then you can add 2:1 gate with threshold set at about 5.
I guess I should also clarify that I was sort of getting feedback while playing too. It's hard to explain, but I could almost hear/feel the feedback while playing and the MOMENT I would stop, the feedback would kick into gear and I would have to mute my sound.

Have you tried other guitars?
If you can hear a tap, the pickups might have gone microphonic...
Definitely try the noise gate as that should help but sounds like you might just have too much gain with the green scream.
It won;t be Kemper issue per se as I've had similar issues with valve amps ( ironically when using gain pedals, hence I never got on with them) which isusally just turned out to be too much gain at either front end or pre amp stage.
Thanks for the input!
I have not tried other guitars. Currently, my Suhr is my only usable guitar.
I know the #1 way to fix this (and from searching this forum) is to simply turn down the gain, but I love the sound of the Morgan AC20 with a max drive Green Scream so I am trying hard to maintain this, but I know I might have to resort to turning down the gain if I can't resolve the issue.
I looked up a couple videos of microphonic pickups and it definitely didn't have that high pitched squeal... it was more normal, mid-range feedback that is typical of standard guitars. I will keep this in mind as I continue researching!

I will give this a shot! Thank you for suggestion. If you have any other input on anything else I mentioned, feel free to chime in. I will also post back here and let you know if your suggestion helps.
