Sorry for dumb questions, if I turn down monitor output is there a safe zone percentage wise for signal out or do I just use my ears for what sounds good?

Since you already have the Marshall, give it a try. The Input of the Marshall is not designed for a full-range Line Input. It is designed for a guitar level, guitar-range input. But, if you can get the Profiled amps to sound good into the amp with the Master Volume up, and the Preamp Channel down, by adjusting the Marshall's EQ, go for it!

Thank you, that is what I am hoping could be useful? Just wasn't sure about line level like you were talking about.

If you turn off the Amp and Cabinet/gain pots? sections, you can use the Profiler like a Multi-effects processor.

So what you are saying is all the high gain amp profiles are rendered useless and I must rely on the fuzz box stuff in effects to get gain in conjunction with amps mmaster/preamp?

Quote from paults

If you already have the Marshall, Using the Effects Return to connect to the Power Amp would be a much better option than connecting to the Guitar Input.

No send return, it's an old school 78 jmp 100w super lead, a friggin beast...

Hi guys, I haven't tested my kemper stage other than once with a 100w alesis power amp through a cab in a jam session, question is, would using a real 100 w marshall amp / clean channel through a marshall 2x12 cab be a good idea? basically using the kemper as a floorboard through marshall as opposed to a pure clean power amp.

They sound amazing. If you're into heavy tight tones this pack is amazing. Also has some cool clean tones. BigHairyProfiles make some of the best profiles hands down.

Awe man thank you for confirmation...

This seems pretty good to me, anyone out there already purchase?

Hi Dan,

cool version of this song especially the solo part with the acoustic guitar!

Hi Hafi, thank you ?

Quote from whippinpost91850

very cool rendition. The acoustic/Marshall break was kind of magical

Thank you... Appreciate it. Yeah it has a nice lazy swing to it. Pretty awesome an acoustic can get really useable tones through the kemper. I'm sold!!! Lol

Quote from deadman42

Cool sound Dan, nicely modernized version of the song

Good old standard rule still applies here: If it sounds good it is good

And I really like how creative you deal with things... quite inspiring!

Thx bruh... I gotta break out my 12 string and see how that sounds through a high gain setting.

Hi guys been awhile, finally got a chance to record a fun bluesy version of I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams.
Got creative and on the second solo played my acoustic through the Kemper using a Marshall rig, sounded pretty nice to me.
I'm a rocker but thought it'd be to try out a different genre.

You guys are awesome... Thx for keeping the thread alive, I'm digging the conversation and learning.

The cab on the bottom is a Spark (2x10 + 2 tweeter). The one on the top has one Kone inside and is all I need (active cab). The Spark is great for cleans but for distortion I prefer imprints.

Both together sound alone great as well but not in the context of band sound. Maybe one day I return to the Spark but currently the Kone provides more dirt and is not as tidy as the Spark.

oh cool man.
so 1 Kone seems to be enough eh? Interesting that it performs better for you in the distorted territory, that works for me.

Quote from StefanErtle

So to sum it up: One Kone to master it all when caring about proper setup.

so are you saying you have 1 kone in each of those cabs?

Quote from Wheresthedug

that’s the main reason I gave up on 4x12 cabs. To get to a level where I was happy on stage the front of the audience get blown away like being in the blast zone of a nuclear bomb.

I’m not a metal guy but I can tell you that a 5 piece brass section right behind your head is pretty &£*@in’ loud ?

I friend of mine recently posted a photo of his old rig from his stadium days on Facebook. he is a Kemper stage user now but that rig was a pair of in stereo for crunch and a Fender Twin for clean. He said it was so loud he couldn’t stand in front of it even on those gigs. The funny thing was he pointed out the clips on the front of stage set which were used to hang the dummy 412 grills for the audience ?

I hear ya... lol no pun intended... I used to play in the brass section before guitar entered my life... were the Mesa Lonestars 1x12 or 2x12, not that it matters I guess... lol I am just trying to rationalize a 1x12 being enough - without pluggin into the powered kab it is hard to know without trying it out.

Quote from V8guitar

So not really done it with a back to back comparison and only used the second Kab once, but my initail observations are

1) 4x12's are way more directional than you think. Off axis they don;t sound that good and levels drop massively

2) FRFR ( and this applies to Kab although not strictly) have way more spread, giving for me a disproportional amount of volume/power compared to a regular 1x12

3) Because of point 2, I foudn little difference spreadwise. Volume dropped ( presumably due to Ohmage) so I had to turn up. So diffcult to discern a massive difference...but then I'm not missing any volume anyway.

I had it on the floor I think with bass boost on.

Thank you guys for continuing this thread with valuable info. Personally, not that I am not a fan of a 1x12 I just don't see in a rock/metal situation how it can deliver. lol I'm not a jazz guy or even a blues man - mostly rock/metal when it comes to getting my kicks and my drummers have and usually are pounders and yes I am deaf from 40 years of it but that said, I've always had to turn up a 100w Marshall 1/2 stack (or full stack) to the bleeding edge just to hear wth I'm doing next to a guy beating the daylights out of his kit and bass player eating up the rest of the frequencies. So if I was in a quieter bar band or "controlled" stage environment (the way they do things now) I could imagine the power kab 1x12 doing great at keeping up but in an untamed metal thing??? Please keep me updated.

Lol, too funny ???

Quote from GuitarGuy83

200W in 1x12 for guitar, is more than enough to be heard over loud drummer imo.

What you would gain with a 2x12 or 4x12 has more to do with tone than loudness... it would give a "thicker" sound, since there are more speakers moving air.

I'm used to either 2x12 or 4x12 cabs with a 100w head, they do move more air but never really had a 1x12 that could conquer a drummer.

Well, as of this writing looks like we finally have a Kemper Kab with built in power amp... Is 1x12 / 200w enough to be heard over a loud drummer or is it best to load a 2x12 cab with kemper kones/ or celestion and have bigger power supply like the Duncan 700w? options???

Quote from Monkey_Man

By "pushing it back" I didn't mean reducing the level of the guitars. In mixing parlance it means placing it further away from the listener.

This is why you lost that definition. The vox needed to come forward, which you achieved by reducing the reverb. It didn't require a rise in volume necessarily; it was simply living too far away. Raising its volume is probably partly why you lost that bit of guitar intelligibility.

Damn lol I should just hire you to do my mixes.. hahha Compressors/EQ's and Limiters are dangerous in the wrong hands.
