Where on stage do you place your KPA (Toaster / FRFR)?

multivir1 · Oct 15th 2013

I usually ask for 2-3 beverage crates like I used to with my tube combo, so if I have to mess with the knobs, they're accessible.
Same deal as always - you set things up during the sound check, but during the 1st song you already notice that drum & bass hit it so hard that you can't hear yourself anymore. So behind the stage is no option... When I had an AxeFx, it was on the floor in a rack case with the display facing upwards, so it was somewhat accessible.
That won't work with the Kemper. The beverage crates work, but in a club situation, they're taking up too much space. So I thought of something like a K&M Tripod / laptop stand. My monitor is on the floor, right in front of me, angled upwards.

How do you guys do it? Pictures appreciated.

I have mine sitting on top of the bass bins behind the tops pointing toward me so i can see the screen and adjust on the fly also. Its a great position for me and the rubber feet work really well stopping it from moving

I usually turn the Drum flight case on its side and pop it on top of that. Just at eye level and easy to adjust.Kinda looks like 'stack-ish' too

I put it on the bass cab

I have mine on a combo stand, stage front, facing at me, right from the foot controller.

Mine is usually on a table thats already in the club/pub where I'm playing. However I've just bought a Marshall mini stack so it'll be going on there from now on

Mine is the rack version. Place in a Rackbag to the right and/or behind me on stage. On top I have the wireless receiver.
Use the FCB1010 in front of me and two 5 meter midi cables to the Kemper. My band use InEar so no backline to turn up or down. All handled by our sound tech.

I think a backpack would be good idea..
