First gig with KPA and Yamaha DXR10

What can I say this set up has just blown me away!!!!!!!!! For over 15 years I've been after a tone and sound like this and now it's here. I'm a big Nickelback fan and really dig their guitar tone. I've always managed to get about 70% there but now I've cracked it 100% I'd say! I've been using the amp factory bogner ubershall profile for rhythm and lead and the amp factory two rock clean for the clean sounds. The distortion sounds have so much definition and clarity it's unbelievable, even with lots of gain the definition between notes is so clear. CK I never thought it was possible to achieve a sound like this live, ever but I have and for that I take my hat off to you and your team.

I would really recommend this set to anyone with a KPA and who are thinking of using it live. I'm going to also buy another DXR10 so I can get that stereo feel live from having one each side of me. The DXR10 is so transparent and very very loud I had it on half volume and everyone says we are a very loud band even the drummer could hear my guitar clearly and well. So if your thinking of a KPA and trying to decide what speak to use I strongly recommend these.

So you used just One drx10 for the Gig and no FOH amplification?

No I went through FOH but the DXR10 was for my monitoring

Just done a second gig with my set up and once again it's blown me away!!!!!!!!!!

My theory on this is that the KPA is giving u a mic'd up sound like what you here on a record so 10 inch is acting like a HI FI speaker therefore giving me a stage sound similar to like what you here when you play a album through you hi Fi

I bet there is but they are twice the price and I don't think they come with a 7 year warranty. I would of liked to have compared one of these but I managed to trade some equipment in at my local music store which made it a no brained really

Well my second DXR 10 is on its way should be here tomorrow. Really cant wait to have 2 of these running one sounded great so 2 will sound twice as great lol

The Yamaha's are very light and powrfull that was one ot the reasons i ditched my 4x12, the other reason was (if ive been thinking right) i use different cab em's for different sounds so my 4x12 (vintage 30's) would not sound they way i wanted it to for all patches at least this way i save my back lol and i get the benefits of all the different cab em's i use with the yamaha's.

I must say i dont miss that in the room guitar sound coming from behind me when i used to use my line 6 head and cab. I find it a lot easier to hear myself with the DXR10's pointing up infront of me. My band have never had monitors, so this is a great luxury for all of use!!!

This also allows the sound egineer out the front to have greater control over the mix FOH with him telling me to turn my backline down LOL

At the mo I'm standing the KPA on the PA to the side of me, I'm planning on getting a friend of mine to make me stand to hang of the PA to hold it. As for 2 DXR10's I'm going to try both ways of setting them up see which way suits me best, but I think ill end up with them infront of me

Awesome! Anything you have to do EQ wise with them? How is the high end on them?

Top end is crystal clear haven't done anything EQ wise, that's probably because I'm not to sure how you go about being able to change the monitor only EQ on the kemper without adjusting the front of house EQ

Press and hold the Output button, then scroll to the Monitor EQ selection. There is separate EQ that doesn't affect the Main output that goes to FOH.

Thank you I'm still getting used to where everything is so many things you can do with this beast:)

2 more gigs this weekend with 2 DXR10's now God these things sound good and they are very loud. My band members are very impressed and the sound on stage now is the best we have ever had. I can't recommend these enough. Plus you get a 7 year warranty !!!!!!! For the price the quality is outstanding. Check these out fellow KPA users
