So what are you guys using if any as a home practice rig. My Kemper lives in a rack case and I sometimes don't set it up. I have a few heads in my basement studio but looking to get a simple practice rig that I can plug and play and keep in my bedroom or carry to my den or living room. What are you guys using and what do you recommend. Post pics if you feel like sharing.
Practice Rig
-
I have a Toaster that travels with me so Its also my practice rig as its very portable
-
I exclusively use the Kemper nowadays. The remaining stuff of mine has turned into a 5,000 € doorstop ...
I've set all the cables I need in my home studio already connected to mains or to the monitors, and have a whole set of cables in the Profiler's bag. It only takes 30" to me to plug everything into the Profiler when I take it home. Then I switch it on so it's always ready
-
Perhaps a second KPA, for a practice rig, would be more useful to you than one of your conventional rigs
Or... the old Vox Tonelab or Tonelab SE were very good sounding modelers, and are very cheap on the used market.

Yep, I'm set up the same way. It's like a ritual. I come home from rehearsals, unpack my gear and let the Kemper sit on it's dedicated place in my home studio. I got a Behringer XR12, a interface (NI Komplete Audio 6) and some rather cheap Mackie monitors which are wall mounted above my desk. I also treated my room for better acoustics and it's really fun to sit there and practice and since it's all connected to the interface I can record ideas into my DAW (Studio One) as I go.

I still have a Vox Tonelab LE, but it just sits around these days, as I use one KPA at home and another for travel ...
Edit: actually, if you're in the US I'll sell you the Tonelab at a good price

Yamaha THR 10. Excellent practice amp for me!
-
Use my toaster. All necessary cables are bundled with a Flex Strip.
They stay connected to the Monitor, PC, Audio Interface, Power plug and so on.
I use other cables for rehearsal or Gig. -
I use a Zoom G1on for that. It fits inside my gigbag and has all I need for practising. Looper, Drummer and very usable FX. It is connected to the blackstar fly mini amp, which on its own is already a very good practise amp. Combined they make a very flexible, battery-powered (if needed) setup that does it all. Other than that, the Yamaha THR is a very good tool.
-
I have a Kemper rack in the rehearsal room and a Kemper head in my music room.
-
-
I'm another one (power) rack and one (unpowered) toaster man.
-
I need more toaster

It's all Kemper for me these days, for bass and guitar. I'm in the process of making a "Kemper Kombo" that will just need a power connection to be ready to go. The remote and all my straps, cables, tablet, etc will be stored in the cabinet. After a gig, I can wheel it into my living room and have it set up in less time than it takes to boot up. The whole rig should weigh less than a 2x12 when I'm done.
I'll start a thread about the combo when I'm a little further along.

I duplicate my cabinet and floor board, one for rehearsal and one for home. Then all I need to do is plug in my Kemper. I will probably pick up another Kemper to leave at rehearsal and also serve as a backup unit.
-
Funny how many people recommend the KPA as a substitute for the KPA
.
Not quite sure if this is what the OT wanted to hear though... but it's a proof for real devotion for sure
-
a folk guitar ?
-
Hey Slay,
if you asked "what would you guys suggest as a second rig..." you'd have probably got a different feedback
Have you considered a Yamaha THR 10?
-
Hi Slay,
if you are an iPhone or iPad user, you could connect something like the Apogee Jam (http://www.thomann.de/de/apogee_jam_96k.htm). Quite flexible and great for travelling.
