Hi,
Which option is the best? I just want to plug my guitar into the Kemper and play in any cab, amp, PA, monitor I have available. (I might be moving abroad to study music so I have no idea what I'm going to find. + the only gear that I will bring with me is a guitar and a Kemper Non-powered rack)
Thanks in advance! 
Hey Miguel,
Yes, you're right in your second post 
If you already own a rack there's nothing you can do apart from
a) selling you unit and buy a powered one; there used to be special discounts for such an operation, you might want to check whether this still on;
b) using an external power amp, such as one of the Matrix family, which are very, very good.
It might be worth noting that the Kemper power amp is a mono amp.
HTH
If you have a Kemper rack then a rack amplifier is the way to go! As viabcroce said Matrix make stellars rack amps like the GT1000FX 1U.
a) sending you unit to service in order to have the original power amp installed;
I'm quite sure that they don't do the retrofit for some legal reasons.
Have you seen documented otherwise?
Hanging around with a Matrix Power amp sounds so not portable comparing to a Kemper Power Rack. 
Albeit, I guess it's the best option? Portability and versatility (can handle any situation) is my concern.

What the heck Ingolf, you're obviously right... Sorry, I must have been distracted by something... Not sleeping enough lately LOL

Well, there's another option actually... Not sure how the rack is designed, but if you can access the power amp niche you might try one of those small amps like the ISP discussed in another thread... They "informally" fit there.
Sure, not elegant nor extremely practical... But, if rack space is your concern, it might work.
Note that the amp's power supply will not fit tho... You'd have to place it outside the Profiler anyway.
It might be worth mentioning that the Matrix are extremely light (about 1-2 kg IIRC), so your only concern would be your rack real estate. With a 4-slot rack you'd have a very light and flexible solution, with the further possibility to go stereo as well.
HTH

LOL! Vacation is no good for you...

I'm afraid that the Kemper racks don't have the same cavity in the back as the heads.

Remember that the amp of the power rack is not stereo so it can't handle any situation. As I like stereo setups I would personnaly prefer a GT1000FX in a sweet 5u rack over a power rack. But if stereo is not a paramount for you then the power rack (or the power head!) is the perfect fit I agree.

Yeah, I've seen the pics. I thouhgt it was maybe possible to just remove the cavity's door and make the room available. Have you been able to look "inside" one?

No I haven't, but I guess it's not possible and would void the warranty anyway.
Thanks dude, although I can't watch long videos now (using an iPad on a cellular connection) I appreciate it
