Using DXR with band

andyg_prs · Feb 16th 2015

Hi,

So nearly 2 weeks after getting the DXR10 my band finally had a rehearsal (well no keyboard player). The clarity of the Kemper in the mix was SO much better through the DXR10 than the guitar cab.....that's really made me happy! Now when time allows, I can really see what the Kemper can do.

The keys player also does the mixing for the singer and without him she couldn't get her mic to work properly so I let her plug through the DXR at the same time as my guitar was going through it. I had some misgiving about doing that though.

Could it cause any issue working that way?

Cheers,
Andy

PS - how do you guys using a DXR10 mount your Kemper? My special stand was created to sit on a pitched back guitar cab....

I sidewash my DXR, and my toaster sits next to it, on the "away from the audience" side of the DXR.

I used to have my DXR's on the floor like monitors facing me. Sounded great like this

Thanks guys, I rushed my post. My questions are:

1. How do you mount your Kemper when using a DXR - I'm fine with the DXR, I can use it with the stand or as a wedge.
2. Do you see any issue with the singer sharing the DXR with me while I'm using it with the Kemper?

Cheers,
Andy

I had mine standing on the floor or table to the side of the stage when I used a DXR. I don't see an issue with the singer using the DXR aswell. Its just the same as your guitar and vox going through FOH

I use my dxr sometimes with the singer going thru it, no problem. I recently got a

After it was recommended by someone else on this forum. Only used it a couple of times, but it's a good solution. Hated trying to find a table or shelf at a gig to balance my kemper on!!

When I play live I don't need to have my KPA close to me. So, I often leave it somewhere in the backstage and I just change performances thru my pedalboard.
During the rehearsals sometimes the singer uses my CLRs: no problem at all.

I keep my profiler in the back of the stage.
Oh and it's no problem to share your DXR with a singer. It would be more problematic sharing it with another guitarist or keyboard player (competition in the same frequency range).

I have to admit....I'm not normally selfish...but I don't want to share my DXR
