My only concern would be with the internal height. Website says 10" (not sure if that accounts for extra space with the top of the case). Amp head is 8.5" and the remote is almost 3"... Any insight to that 397f7c95538961c9090da40b2b0b6e229b278069 ?

Any idea of you can fit the remote OP? bigfoamfinger

Hey blandified. You said that the remote will fit with the head, is that correct?

No comment with regards to the sound on the Kemper. However, I can attest to watching/listening to Where the Light is atleast a million times and John kills it on every song.

Thanks for the reply Laetus1! I do think I will love it. I'm excited and think I will love the Kemper setup. As you mentioned I want the ability to own numerous amps that I could never actually afford. Such as my Dr Z and then a Morgan and then a Delux Reverb and so on. I've had the opportunity to play one and have been blown away by the tones. The weirdest feeling thus far has been the "amp in the room" feeling that is lacking when playing through speakers but I have decided to go the powered route to have the cabinet option whenever I'd like to feel that. I also have nice speakers to listen to my profiles through and tweak for live sound.

Thanks so much 397f7c95538961c9090da40b2b0b6e229b278069 I saw those official Dr Z packs and I think I would love it. I'm excited to create an "arsenal" of amps to play on!

Still available?

Thanks Deej09!

I would try the KPA first for a period of time before ditching your gear
I wouldn't be able to afford the KPA without selling some of my gear but I definitely think it is good to keep trying it out. I just got back from the store today after trying it again!

Love the words of advice, Monkey_Man! It seems like a truly brilliant piece of gear!

Hey Everyone!
I haven't fully committed to the Kemper, yet. But have spent hours researching the Kemper the last few weeks and am heavily considering making the jump from my Dr Z Maz 18 amp to a Kemper. I'm also thinking of ditching my pedals (partially to fund the amp/remote) and using the remote for the Kemper. I play live shows pretty often and we are likely to start touring here in the near future, I also play for the worship band at my church and practice with a band weekly. The biggest appeal to the Kemper is largely the ability to "have it all". Being able to have a profile of the Maz 18 and then a Morgan AC20/40 an old Deluxe Reverb, etc. I previously owned a Line 6 Helix and the inability to ever dial in a "great" tone was pretty discouraging for me. I owned one for over a year and always felt that it was great for a worship setting but when I'd practice alone I rarely enjoyed my sound. That would be my biggest hesitation with the Kemper, however, from everything I've seen the Kemper seems to surpass the Helix with flying colors (not that the Helix can't get some great tones, I however, was just unable to find some I loved). I also played a Kemper the other day and was blown away by the intuitiveness of the amp as I found a tone that I thought was pretty stellar within a 30-60 mins.
I'm mostly getting my feet wet and just getting a feel for the Kemper community. Thus far, everyone seems pretty welcoming and nice! Excited to continue down this path for a while. Here is a photo from the studio the other day to help keep things interesting.

Here is my latest purchase. A beautiful Suhr Alt T Pro!

It almost resembles a religious war.
Both can lead to excellent results.
If you use a mixer to play over the PA system, an unpowered version is more versatile.
You can influence your sound much more versatile with the CAB-simulation.
Your own sound can be heard via a monitor of your mixer or via the monitor output of your Kempers via an active full-range speaker.
If you prefer the specific sound of your guitar speaker to play and you don't want to use an extra amplifier then you need the powered version.
I recommend unpowered version with an active monitor.
For example, my active monitor has only 200W , is connected at the mixer, incl. my voice too and is loud enough.
Hey Sharry,
I don't have a cab I'd play through. I have some 300w powered speakers that I assume would be JUST fine for what I need. But the Powered Kemper is tempting just because of the "you never know if you'll need it" mentality.
-
Hey PETERFR,
I am leaning towards the powered Kemper for the simple fact of "why not"? Although it is a bit more upfront it seems to be something that you might as well have and if the situation ever comes up where I want to play through a cab, I can.
Thanks for the reply!

Hello Kemper community,
I am new to this forum as well as my journey into buying a Kemper but I am not sure which is best for me. The Powered Kemper unit (head) or the Non - Powered. The only reason I have some hesitation is just due to the nearly $400-500 price difference I tend to see them go for (used). I don't foresee myself playing out of an amp cab but I do play live shows often alongside playing for a worship team almost weekly. Couldn't I always use a powered speaker with the Non Powered Kemper and still get sound? Or would I need a Powered Kemper for that?
Thanks so much!
