Maybe the power amp is having a problem with the 4 ohm load of the Kabinet?
How many ohms is the Marshall? (Likely higher)
Are you able to try with a separate power amp? (Assuming you have a powered head/rack)
Keep us posted....

Following.... heard nothing but good, so ordered one today. Be here Monday. Looks like it could fit in the back of the toaster too...
Edit - the SD has a fan... one of my requirements was fan-less (silent) operation...
Same here - I need to make a decision soon on my Cabinet strategy... Would prefer a powered Kemper Kab, but now looking at other options.
Following this...
Display MoreHi all,
I stumbled across these little desktop power amps, which seem to be designed for driving passive monitors or other speakers, and targeted at the audiophile market (hence the RCA jacks). They are not specifically guitar power amps. However, the specs look like they would work just fine, they are solid state, class D amplifiers with power ranging from 50 up to 160 watts per side, and can drive speakers ranging from 2 ohms to 8 ohms. They are very small and extremely inexpensive ($60 Canadian on Amazon). Company name is Fosi Audio, here is the Amazon link.

Is there any reason why this would not work to drive a Kone from an unpowered toaster? Any issues using RCA to TRS adapters on the cables?
Thanks everyone,
Paul
I saw these... for home use, with an unpowered Toaster, I like the idea of a small separate (inexpensive) Class D amp sitting alongside or behind the Kabinet or head.
For larger gigs, I have a Crown XLS1502 or the DXR10s, but a simple Kabinet with a Toaster on top seems like a great “in the house” setup... and for about $75, seems worth a shot. No mods, easy....
The “official” Kemper branded powered Kabinet would be ideal... but Kemper hasn’t offered any update on release date, so it could be vaporware...
Hey steel glad you have it all sorted out. Would you please add the word "Solved" in the Topic header, so that everyone will know at a "glance" the problem has been fixed?
Thanks!
Please?? It really does help others, just as you were helped... Thank you.
Are you able to share any info regarding planned pricing or amplifier specs for the powered Kabinet?
Thanks for what you do.
Great point, I believe the stock speaker is 8 ohms, and that the power amp section would expect that.
I knew that would have been too easy...
I’ll either keep using the stock G12T-100 speaker (which actually sounds pretty good), or go with two nice empty1x12’s (I like stereo) and start putting together a new setup for home use. Father’s Day is coming...
Thanks for the replies.
Hi All,
I usually play through my unpowered Toaster and 2 DXR10’s in stereo, but really want to find out what the Kemper Kone buzz is all about.
(Plus, I’d like to have an ‘Amp In The Room’ option...)
I have a Fender Mustang III (v1), which has the unprocessed effects return into a 100 watt Class D amp, and Celestion G12T-100 speaker... Sounds pretty good, but obviously can’t compare to two DXR10’s, nor does it need to, when lower volumes are desired.
QUESTION - do you think the Fender Mustang cabinet and its integrated 100 watt amp would make a good “Host” cabinet for a Kemper Kone?
It’s an open back cab, but the Kone literature states that’s fine, and for a single 12”, might be even better than a sealed cabinet.
Anyone done this? Any reasons you can think of why I shouldn’t waste the time/money... except the cabinet Tolex isn’t green?
No updates from the Mother Ship... disappointing.
Will probably keep running my MosValve and a pair of my own 1x12’s....
Got tired of waiting for the powered Kemper Kab...
Just plugged my Kemper Toaster into the FX Return of my Mustang III (v1).
Wow.... sounds great with no coloration from any of the Fender preamp controls or models...
The speaker is a Celestion G12T-100, which is a very neutral speaker designed for the Fender modeler, which goes from little Champ speakers to Fender Twins, to Marshall 4x12 emulation.
I think I just saved my self a bunch of cash for home playing... I’ll keep the DXR10s for other things for now.
Oh, and the Toaster fits perfectly on the Mustang III.... that I wasn’t using anymore anyway...
Just the slightest whirring noise from the fan of my 1st gen DXR10’s... gain stays pretty low on the DXR, and about 2/3 of the way up on the Kemper if I recall....
Stereo is nice... I’m tempted to take your Studio, but I think I’d miss Stereo... but two Kemper Kabs seems steep after going w 2 DXR10s about a year ago...
Hi Z28 - Just curious, why are you selling it?
You’re right! How weird is that?
I don’t see the results, can you post/link?
All the Stage users are probably wanting a powered version.
Not sure why it’s not offered in both formats (powered/passive)
And I hope the build quality is better than the Stage, that wasn’t real inspiring.
Looking forward to hearing this.
You know, the song in the movie Tequila Sunrise, with Robin Zander and Ann Wilson, from about 1988?
The guitar sound is huge, and sounds a lot like Steve Lukather or Dan Huff... There absolutely no credits given, either in the movie or the internets... AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know? My wife and I are trying to figure this one out.... usually I know, but this one has me stumped.
I’ve been wearing out Google trying to find out who played this, and would love to capture a similar (what sounds like a Boogie) tone.
Well, the Editor was introduced at last year’s NAMM, and just hit Beta a few weeks ago.
So.... I guess we can expect this in approx 12 months?
