Powering the Kemper

Ejblives · May 27th 2015

In regards to power source for the unit....external power amp or Kemper's built in power amp? What is the overall better choice? Is one significantly better over the other? I like the idea of the amp being inside the unit.
thanks

If you're one of those players who don't like hearing your sound come from monitors, or if you expect to plug into regular guitar cabs from time to time, then you should probably use a powered KPA. If you're comfortable with monitors and don't expect to use guitar cabs, then you should go with an unpowered version.

Thanks for the imput, for starters I'd be playing the Kemper through a Splawn 2x12 loaded with Scumback speakers. Does the power amp inside the Kemper have the ability to run in stereo or does the unit have the ability to turn the power amp off without opening it up and disconnecting it and use powered monitors if I wanted to?

No, the Kemper power amp is mono. Positive for all your other questions

Note that there are cheaper third-part solutions, including stereo ones.
