Display MoreCouple of comments on guitars cabs:
1) You don;t need them to record as you can connect into your DAW directly.
2) You have 3 options - regular guitar cabs, FRFR and Kemper Kabinet. None are better, just preferences. Guitar cabs we are all used to but add signifcant colour to the sound. Given profiles include Cabs and Mikes you either need merged/direct profiles ( which send just the amp to the cab) or remove the cab portion. FRFR is closest to the sound you would hear out of a PA but is different to what we are used to. The Kemper Kabinet is sort of in between. It can run as an FRFR but uses speaker imprints to give you even more control over the end to end sound.
All cabs ( unless active) will require an amp. This is why I bought the powered version so I have the option to run cabs without adding a separate amp.
I have run all options and prefer the Kabinet. in fact, I've just bought another one.
I play heavy rock/Metal.
Hope that helps.
100% agree with everything here. "2) You have 3 options - regular guitar cabs, FRFR and Kemper Kabinet. None are better, just preferences."...spot on! I have the powerhead and I can take the same profile at default 12noon settings, run it through a Real Cabinet, an FRFR speaker (200x) or a Headrush powered speaker and they all sound different, nothing is better, just different. I think the Kemper power head does a great job when running through a real cabinet (CABs Off), I also like the Headrush powered speaker option (CABs On) because I can play with the profile's CAB options.
