thanks all,
i am suprised by the number of people who likes to play through cab. As I just read elsewhere "You are going to lose a LOT of the flavor of different amps if you use a powerhead and a guitar cab. You lose the sound of the speaker that was profiled, and the sound of the mics and any preamps or EQ also." To me this is not much the KPA philosophy.
I will 99% play home, and low. I think I need to choose a KPA first (likely unpowered), get used to it thru headphones and then take it to the shop find FRFR, but I don't want to spend much on them.
any reason to recommend a powerhead instead?
I would say.. "and so what?" The Kemper through a guitar cab (I often Use it with a nice 1x12 cab) sounds just GREAT and sometimes it's fun to have that great amp in the room sound when you play at home... you won't have the exact sound of the labeled amp in that case? well take it for what it is, it will sounds like nothing else, which is fine for me!
Like said, a powered head will give you just more options.. and that's great!
