Does anyone else experience this effect? Not being negative about it, just wondering if it's just me?

I think you have the answer but just to check - there are 2 ways to remove the cab:

1) Cab monitor button - This only disables the cab on the speaker and main output. Monitor is unaffected.

2) Cab button ( on the from of the KPA) - this affects every output ( I believe).

So, when using a Cab on stage, you use the Cab monitor check box and take your direct out from the monitor out. Using the Cab monitor button will then not impact the FOH signal.

Right, am doing the 1st option, but definitely hear a difference in the monitor out tone when adding option 2. Not huge, but real. If you try this do you hear it too?

Yes, the monitor cab definitely sounds different. It's not a huge difference, but certainly noticeable, and I almost always prefer the Cab button clicked off as it's generally somewhat clearer and less dark. Do you not find a noticeable difference doing this?

I only use the Power Rack as my stage amp so it would not currently be an issue, but at some point I will and wanted to be clear on this.

Am using a standard guitar cab powered by a Kemper Power Rack, I have cabs turned off in the monitor out. If a profile has the Cabs switch lit, I hear a preferred difference when also turning it off by pushing the Cabs switch. Does doing this also then disable Cabs from the main output too?

What would be a good setting of the Air Chorus crossover control to provide good response for both single cab and stereo usage, without having to re tweak this parameter depending on the case?

you can create an output preset for each of your settings by pressing the Store button while you are in the output menu. To load a preset you need to turn the Browse knob while you are in the output menu.

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

The Monitor Output EQ settings are Global.

If you have Kone mode enabled, you can specify a Global Kone setting, and also have different rig-specific Kone settings.

So if I create eq settings for several different guitar cabs (one with a 1265, one with a greenback, etc), where are they saved so I can select them to be applied?

Are monitor output eq changes saved globally, or do they need to be done separately for each rig or profile slot?

would not those same fixed memory positions from Kemper A overwrite whatever is in the same positions in Kemper B, since this is not a standard import/export, but instead a total backup overwrite?

If I backup my Kemper and another owner does the same, and we send the backups to each other and install them, have we now essentially swapped Kempers, including performances?

no it was a defective display, fixed under warranty.

Looking for feedback on which non Kemper 12" guitar speakers have worked best for anyone in an onstage 1x12 cab scenario? I know about the newer modeller friendly Celestions, am wondering how well any manufacturer's regular guitar speakers have performed for anyone doing this?

Gb

follow up question- can the Kemper's morphing capability apply to EQ pre/post position switching- say have a profile load with eq in front of the amp, then tap a controller switch to move it to after the amp?

What is it about it that you think makes more sense?

the contribution it can make to the overdrive/harmonics characteristics and eq balance in the pre position.

Like to hear from anyone who has moved a profile's eq section from post amp to pre amp? This seems like it makes more sense in a way, and yields a more versatile tweaking. What do y'all think?

Guys, thanks for the input! I am not feeding a pa system. My current use is live stage rig in stereo via a Power Rack into two 1x12 open guitar cabs (one is a greenback clone), and the powered cab is a Tech 21 Power engine (60 watt celestion 70/80).

This setup is so much easier to deal with in terms of transport/setup/tear down (my primary motivation) than my tube amp/analog pedal board/post power amp time based fx.

The K is incredibly versatile as you know, but so far not as rich sounding as the analog rig into the same cabinets (in my limited tweaking experience). It's sort of like comparing whole milk to 2%. So I have been wondering if the Kone would be an improvement. I don't really care about a very high degree of authenticity in various signature amp voices, ballpark is fine, but do want the same degree of rich fatness that the traditional analog system yields.

Howard I will try engaging the Kone function as you mentioned.

Quote from HowardBrown

The difference between open or closed back with the Kone was the same as you could expect from a regular guitar speaker, at least to me. I did try my cabinet next to a passive Kabinet, switching back and forth between them and preferred my cabinet, whether it was open or closed back. As for holding their own, its personal preference as far as the sound goes, but if you need volume they will deliver.

I really wanted to like the Kone and used them for nine months or so, but to be honest I didn't care for them and went in another direction. My experience with them isn't typical when compared to the majority of Kone users, so take that into account when considering the worth of my opinion about them.

Did you stay with real guitar cabs? If so, with one of the newer Celestion models built for digital amps?

Howard did you like them in an open back cab? Do they hold their own compared to a regular guitar speaker? I know that some of the top commercial profilers prefer regular speakers.

Gb

For use in an open back or possibly closed back 1x12, any significant difference other than weight between a Kone vs Neo Kone?

I bought my Power Rack and Remote in Nov 2022, refurbs direct from Kemper in Colorado USA. As of this morning, the remote screen only boots up with an unreadable solid blue display. Additionally, if in browser mode it flickers slightly, but no flicker in Performance mode. Multiple reboot attempts make no difference. Remote cable is fine.Other functions seem ok, but it's still basically unusable live in this condition.

I do see some past dialog about this problem , but never saw any associated comments regarding resolving the issue. Can anyone help?
