Thank you all for replying, it was very helpful. So im going for the Studiomonitors then.

Next question, which one is favourited aming Kemper players?

I'm also a new Kemper user, and bedroom volumes are my game right now (w/ 2 very young kids at home).

I did a fair amount of research on studio nearfield monitors. What I bought, and you'll see most people rate very highly, is a pair of ADAM A7x's. They are about $750 each new, so a pair will be $1500. Got some monitor stands and then I'll be ready to go.

They arrive Friday - I'll post an update!

It's nothing but an indication from the person who made the profile that the tonal sweet spot of the amp had been found using that specific pickup setting. Also, some take into account the output difference between HB/SC and adjust the volume of the rig accordingly so that their pack is balanced volume-wise. By all means, you can feel free to disregard if you want (but might need to compensate with some tweaks - ie: a profile labelled for single coils could appear too loud if used with a humbucker guitar, etc.) I personally just follow the creator's recommendation just for the sake of saving time tweaking.

Cool, that makes sense - thanks!

I am a new Kemper user (had it just a week!) Only using headphones so far - a pair of ADAM A7x, as well as a Kabinet are all in the mail and coming soon.

I'm just about to start purchasing some profiles (going to figure out Rig Manager tonight!)

So here are my questions on this:

1) What does it even mean to specify a profile as HB vs. single coil? I thought a profile was amp/cab/mic, so I don't see how the guitar factors in?

2) Does it mean that the amp settings were just set in a way that the person who made the profile thought was optimized for HB or SC?

3) How much do people find that this matters? Are people able to tweak to get good tones when using the 'opposite' type of guitar? Or is it recommended to get HB profiles if you are playing with ab HB? I know the answer is 'let your ears decide.' But just want to know what the general recommendation is.

Thanks!

guitarguitar have some in stock .It is a shop in the uk.

THANKS! Just bought one from them; estimated arrival in California only like 5 days - sweet!

arkanian i can't even find any Kone's available for purchase

guitarchiq thanks will give them a call (nothing on their web store though)

shizzaq thanks will give them a call (nothing on their web store though)

i called Vintage King - they are going to call Kemper and find out how long it will take for them to order ... will report back what I find.

Bump - anyone have any idea where to buy a Kabinet ... or when they are expected to be in better supply?

Looks like the one I ordered from Vintage King is going to take months, so I may just cancel.

OK I was able to purchase here today: https://vintageking.com/kemper-kabinet-200-watt-1x12-cabinet

It says "special order" so who knows how long it is going to take. But unlike every other place, I was able to purchase.

Naw they've been out of stock at least a week at Guitar Sanctuary ... along with everywhere else.

I was actually just going to post the same question - I just bought a Profiler and was psyched to get a Kabinet. But out of stock everywhere.

Does anyone know when more are coming in to the US?
