Hey John,

Assuming you've tried re-downloading it and found the file to be byte-for-byte the same size again (on Mac hit COMMAND-I or Get Info from the right-click mini menu), it could be that 7zip's fickle about the particular file. You see this once in a while with many archiving utilities.

In such situations, there's just one that I rate even above all my usual go-to utilities such as SimplyRAR, The Unarchiver and GuiTAR, and that is Keka. Even when the Mac's built-in Archive Utility refuses to unzip a file, claiming that it's corrupted or whatever, Keka extracts it flawlessly.

You can get it here free:

Keka - the macOS file archiver

If you're on PC, re-download the file and compare the file size, but choose as many different archiving utilities as it takes to be able to unzip it error-free. There should be a boatload of free options out there.

If the file size isn't consistent from download to download, there's your problem - it's arriving incomplete. In this case, try a download manager. On Mac I recommend Folx, which you can grab for free (there's a light version). On PC, I can only suggest looking for free options.

If all this fails, you may have to chat to the vendor 'cause it'd be looking, at that point, like the file on his server is corrupted and he may need to re-upload it.

HTH, mate.

EDIT:

Geez, I spent so long putting that together that others have replied in the meantime. Sorry if there's anything redundant in here now, John.

great help mate, thank you!

i've downloaded it about 10 times, and every time its 0KB in size. tried a few different archiving utilities and the usual message.

think i'll just have to wait for word from the vendor.

perhaps corrupted during download!?

thats what i was thinking tbh mate, the file is empty by the looks of it too. when i emailed the guy about it i think i got an automated reply ("just follow instructions as per email").

i've emailed him again so we'll see what he says, was just wondering if i was doing something simple or whatever wrong.

alright lads,

recently bought a profile pack, and when i try to extract it using 7zip, i get the message 'can not open as file archive'.

any idea whats up?

cheers

thanks for the reply mate, good to hear some advice from someone with first-hand experience!

how you all doing lads?

im a big fan of blink-182, neck deep, sum 41 and the like. i was wondering, whoever has a similar taste, what profiles are you using? would love to hear what you all are playing

thanks lads, only a couple of days into ownership and im blown away by it, the versatility is unreal.

Welcome to the forum! It sounds to me like the new Kemper Kab would fit you well.

thanks mate! it looks good, definitely one of the options im considering.

Hi and welcome.

for the marshall switch

Set it in Mono (like the pic) and use the right input (16Ohm),

Connect the speaker Output of Kemper (the red one) with a Cable for Speaker.

For FRFR...FR passive cabinet for Bedroom.. I would reccomend Headphons, not a Cabinet.

Thanks for the help mate!

Any reason for just using headphones? Using headphones at the moment but I miss the amp playing out loud.

Alright guys, recently bought the Powerhead and I have a couple of questions.

I want to play through a cab, been toying with the idea of a passive FRFR for my bedroom, but I also go to a rehearsal studio with my pals and would be playing through a regular guitar cab there. Being such a big investment, I really don't want to do any damage to my powerhead because I can't afford to break or damage it at all.

The cab that I play through in the rehearsal studio (I believe it is a Marshall 1960a 4x12) has a setting on the back for either mono or stereo, and I was wondering which setting to use and if using either one would damage my powerhead.

Also welcome any suggestions for passive FRFR's or regular cabs for my bedroom!

Thanks lads!
