Camper Plus Box - enough power??

Quote from MustBeWasabi

Hi guys.

I am currently playing with an old peavey 4x12 cab (don't know the model but I am pretty sure it is a cheap one) and my KPA with an palmer macht power amp.
Currently I am not satisfied with the sound the cab delivers.

I saw that some guy is selling the camper plus box for 200€ and I was thinking if that (little?) box is loud enough for rehearsals (our other guitar player plays over a 4x12).

Should I go for it? Or save up some money for a Mesa cab?

(I will use the equipment only for rehearsals)

greetings

If you're happy with your tone, I'd say stick to the equipment you have. We guitarists have a disease where we keep acquiring gear thinking it makes us sound better, whereas the only thing that matters is how you use the equipment you have.

Dude

Oops, I misread that. Thought you said, "I am satisfied with the sound the cab delivers"

What exactly is the Kemper Plus box, btw? I did a search on google and couldn't find anything.

One thing you do want to try since you have the option is to check out a passive FRFR cab for use with your Kemper. This will get you the best sounds from your rig, since with regular cabinets, there is a lot of colouration of the signal.

Thanks.

@MustBeWasabi I think very highly of this company and its products and this is a very cheap solution to put together a FRFR cabinet.

However, given that your other guitarist uses a 4x12, I'd suggest looking into something with more speakers, like the Camper 212.

Since it is specifically designed as a FRFR cabinet, you should get a very pleasing sound out of it.

Of course, the price tag is really high, at 999 euros for the passive version.

"camper"....sorry for that!
So you think the camper plus kit will not be loud enough for band rehearsals?

And yes 999 euros is too much at the moment...just bought the kemper last month..

It might be plenty loud. But if the other guy is using a 4x12, you are likely to be underpowered.

Of course, I have heard of guys using FRFR systems to really good effect and competing effectively with traditional guitar setups. So don't take my word for it. The Camper Plus looks like excellent bang for the buck.

Check up other threads on cabs here. Apparently the active Camper sounds good but not loud enough. The passive may be another story.
