Hi all,
Like some others on the forum, I've experienced listening to amazing kemper tones online, only to purchase the pack and find the results underwhelming. Usually it's from a lack of top end frequencies, or what I've heard other refer to at the blanket over the cab effect.
I have what seems like a basic question I'm hoping someone can answer...
I am running a powered KPA toaster through a Kabinet. The Kabinet is driven from the speaker output, which is driven off of the Monitor Output internally.
My understanding is that the Kabinet and Kone are designed to mimic a guitar cabinet when speaker imprints are active, i.e. we're not running in full range mode. To do this you enable the "Monitor Cab Off" which is what unlocks the various speaker imprints. So far so good. The "Monitor Cab Off" option exists to allow you to send the full studio signal chain to FOH, whilst using a guitar cab / Kabinet for your personal monitor. So when MCO is enabled, in theory, we have the complete signal including amp and effects, but without the cabinet module. This is where I get confused... why do I then still hear a different in the sound when I toggle the Cabinet module in this scenario. It sounds all thin and fizzy if the Cabinet module isn't active. Shouldn't I already be bypassing it completely when MCO is enabled?
