Drive and tone go from 0 to 10, volume is from-5 to 5 if I’m correct.

Thanks Reinout. The settings are: Drive: 5, Tone: 1, Volume: 0.

I assume that's a low B? 7 string?
No high b-string! I definitely established that it’s the Kabinet itself... just tried it outside and it does the same thing.

Hi,
I have the same issue. At first tightening all the screws seems to have fixed it but now it has returned. It seems to resonate at certain frequencies. 14th position on the b-string is worst for me. At first I thought other things in my studio were resonating but it's definitely the Kabinet after trying it in different rooms.
I've contacted Kemper support yesterday as I think it might be a manufacturing problem.

Hi,
Are you sure it's not your audio interface that's causing the problem? I had the same thing with my Apogee Ensemble years ago, it would lose its firewire connection to my Mac for a couple of seconds when any other electrical device (lights, water cooker) got turned on that was connected to the same voltage group.

Hey guys,
Hope you can help! My main performance is a set of three slots with the same profile of my favorite amp. However, the effects change based on the slot. It's basically this:
1 - Profile 1, clean, only reverb
2 - Profile 1, chorus, reverb
3 - Profile 1, green scream, reverb
There are other effects beneath the switches on the remote based on the activated slot, but I don't use 'em all that often.
Here's the thing. Slot 1 and 2 have a nice output volume. However, slot 3 has an output volume of at least -6 dB lower on peaks. I measured this by recording different stuff into Pro Tools. How can this be? Clean Sens and Dist Sens are all at 0 in all slots. All slots have the same Rig Volume setting (0 dB). In the amp section, the volume is at 0 dB in all slots.
It seems that when I deactivate the Green Scream in slot 3, the slot has the same volume as slot 1 and 2. Is this normal behavior? And how to compensate for it? I would have thought that a volume of 0 dB on the Green Scream would stand for unity gain but I might be wrong.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the help you guys!! I managed to get the back off again and tightened the speaker screws. The rattle is completely gone. Thanks so much! Happy holidays!
-
Thanks for the suggestions! I tried checking but I can't get the back cover off again, very frustrating, haha! I'm inclined use a flat screwdriver to flip it out but I'm worried about damaging the kabinet.

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Kabinet / Kone. I use a powered toaster to drive the Kabinet, obviously using the speaker out. As of this morning, when increasing the volume, there is a high end rattle in some of the notes, some notes more than others. This is present both with clean rigs and distorted rigs, it's really only volume dependent. On low volumes the Kabinet sounds like what I'm used to, but all of a sudden, when increasing the monitor out volume of the KPA, some notes sound very fuzzy, distorted, in a bad way.
Could this be a broken Kone? I've removed the back panel but I don't see any damages on the speaker. Is there any other way to check?
Thanks a lot!

I just use different profiles to be honest. 99% of the time I play profiles I made of my own amps. My Ceriatone for instance; when using the Strat I have the bright switch OFF but when using a humbucker guitar I have it ON. I profiled both settings and just switch between the profiles in the KPA. More satisfying to my ears than adjustments (EQ, input sense etc) on the KPA itself.

Running Big Sur on my Mac mini M1 ; no issues with Rig Manager, should be good to go.
Congrats on the purchase, very happy with mine, great little computer with extreme power for its size!

If I’d only do recording work in my studio I’d get the rack version. But tbh the portability factor of the toaster is awesome and with the Kemper bag it fits into my one-walk-from-the-car rule.

Make sure you use the right cables. Monitor out to Powerstage must be a T(R)S cable, Powerstage to speaker(s) has to be a speaker cable.

I played with this more last night. So, moving stereo MOD effects to a "REV" or "DELAY" stomp location, does not do anything as far as allowing those to hit the WET outputs. Also, pitch transposer, chorus, flanger, phaser, are all in the MOD category, and cannot be used in stereo under W/D/W...as far as I can tell.
For now, I'll stick with MOD LEFT as my guitar cab output. The only thing I'm really missing here is a true stereo chorus. The clean stereo delay effects routed to their own wide-ish range speakers are so worth it.
It should certainly be possible to get stereo effects in the WW section of the rig? This is one of the major fun things about such a setup. I haven't tried it yet myself, will do tonight.
-
I haven't tried the looper in WDW... good question. Perhaps somebody else can chime in?
Isn't MOD LEFT specifically built in for that exact purpose? So stack plus modulation effects? I guess it should work fine like that!
-
Sorry it didn't work out for you. Funny how mileages vary.
I've been using my KPA for 1,5 years now and I'm using my tube amps less and less. I do treat the KPA like a real amp though on stage. I always bring my 1x12 or 2x12 to "feel" the amp and I almost exclusively use profiles I made of my own amps in my own studio. I use merged profiles on stage. For recording it's just awesome. Have you tried to make profiles yourself?
-
I do this pretty regularly! I have the dry signal through the Kabinet in the middle and two active studio monitors on left and right with effects. Sounds massive! Just set the Main Output to "Delay/Reverb wet", connect your monitors to those, and set the the Monitor Output to "Stack". Try it, you won't be disappointed! I even considered bringing small monitors to the stage for using this setup live, but hasn't happened yet since Covid etc.

What speakers are in the cabs? Do you mic cabs live? I'm getting such an amazing sound through my cabinet, I kinda feel like just sticking a mic in front of it live (gasp). At least until my confidence gets built up with the FOH direct sound being there.
WGS 12-65B's.
I usually leave it up to the FOH mixer to either mic them or take the full stack signal from the back of the KPA. Both work great I think. I only advice them to not mic the Kabinet as that is what I've learned from the instruction video, so when I bring the Kabinet I usually make sure the full stack signal is taken from the main outs of the KPA.

Personally I really like the new Kemper Drive. I have a Klon Centaur on my analog board which has been in storage for a few years since I only use the Kemper through guitar cabs and very rarely use my analog amps. I'd have to dig out the Klon someday and do some comparisons.
However, I wonder: I used to stack overdrives on my analog board to achieve a big fat lead tone. For instance, I'd use a TS808 as my main drive pedal, but in the pedal chain, I always had the Centaur BEFORE the TS808 which I would engage to get the lead tone. I never had the gain dialed up on the Klon that much, however I did have the output of the Klon set pretty high to further drive the TS808 into overdrive. Does this work the same way on the KPA as well? So, if I'd put the Kemper Drive (or a Pure Boost for that matter) in front of the Green Scream with the Volume at say +5, it would actually just drive the Green Scream and not the overall rig volume per se? I'd have to try it out.
