Thanks folks, most useful, keep them coming......

It seems like the perfect solution: live use and recording, light weight, flexible, compact.

So, I'm considering this new product, based on my needs:

1) I like my amps (Vox AC30, Fender Vibrolux and Princeton Reverb, Marshall JTM45, Dumble ODS Clone)

2) They are too HEAVY and too LOUD for my current needs (getting older and, ahem, wiser.....[Blocked Image: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/smilies/crazy.gif])

Used other modelers in the past but, going direct live, I was at the mercy of the house monitors, which went from horrible to passable as far as sound quality goes.

The point is, if I can't hear myself, and\or if the sound quality is not up to what I like, I don't enjoy playing at all, and suck even worse than usual. [Blocked Image: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/smilies/thud.gif]

My solution would be:

1) Get a Kemper Power Head (get\buy profiles of the amps I like at their sweet spot(s), so no need for louder than needed volume to get "the tone").
(I don't get a million sounds from my vintage amps, I have 2 settings each, and have been using THE SAME ONES for years now. They sound GREAT). Add effects as needed.

2) Get a 1x12 guitar cabinet, out of the speaker output of the Kemper, and use it as a monitor onstage, at the volume I need (no more ear splitting levels, thanks). [Blocked Image: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/smilies/drool.gif]

3) Send the direct cab\emulated sound to the house. [Blocked Image: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/smilies/banana.gif]

It sounds like the perfect solution, BUT, does it REALLY work like this in real life? [Blocked Image: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/smilies/rolleyes2.gif]

How is THE SOUND of the different profiles going in a guitar cab?

Would I be better off using a full range speker instead of a guitar cab, and use the speaker emulations as well?

Please share your EXPERIENCE with the above scenario if you wish, any help is most welcome [Blocked Image: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/images/smilies/rimshot.gif]
