Pack 1 has the Bletchley and 3rd Power profiles, which I've tested and loved (also would love to try the divided by 13 ones)... Pack 3 has the 3P, Boggy Soul and Friedman BE ones, which seem killer...
Any suggestions?? Would love to purchase both, but since the exchange rate in Brazil is crazy right now, I can only go for one...
Cheers
Awesome profile! Thanks!
Ooh, forgot to mention, they are DI profiles, used a Suhr Reactive Load
Hey guys, just uploaded three profiles from three amps (two of them that I had never been able to find).
- Orange Rocker 30 (dirty channel)
- Reeves Custom 10HG
- Marshall AFD100 (AFD mode)
I really liked how the Marshall and the Reeves sounded through my Marshall 1960AV. The reeves may be a little bright.
Anyway, first attempt, tell me what you think! Hope you like them! Just search for "Enrico" as author.
Cheers!
Any chances of shipping to Brazil?
I just purchased a Marhsall 1960 Vintage (i.e., with 4 Vintage 30). It is 280W at 16 ohms, incredible shape. Sounds amazing with the Kemper!! My first 412, very excited! Will post pictures later.
Nice!
Bensnake - you won´t regret getting the Kemper. My Rocker 30 has been indeed collecting dust for a few months...
Hey guys, it's been two months since I owned the Kemper Power Head and I love it. I´ve been using with my Orange PPC212, and get great results.
I am now selling one of my amps, since it has been collecting dust for a while now... My Marshall Vintage Modern 2266c. I am still keeping my Orange Rocker 30 and Reeves Custom 10HG, and have no real intentions of selling those in the near future.
I managed to get two offers to trade the Marshall: an Orange PPC412AD, for which I would need to return some cash or other pedals to the guy (which I am fine with), or a Marshall 1960A, with Celestion GT1275s (for which I would only have to give my amp).
I´ve always wanted a 412 cab, despite they being very not practical for most of the venues I play. I really don´t NEED the cash for selling my amp, and thought I would just satisfy this desire from a long time ago.
Bottom line, I am leaning towards the Orange PPC412 instead of the Marshall, mainly because of the V30s, the fact that I absolutely love Orange amps (TAF's Matamp is one of my favorite profiles so far) and better overall construction and the looks of the Orange. But still considering my options. What do you think?
Thanks guys. I´ve been wanting to get some information on these passive FRFRs.
I've been using the Matrix CFR wedge. Mostly in my studio. This weekend jamming with a full band and I'll report back. I'm pretty sure it has the same specs as the CLR.
I prefer the look of the Matrix over Atomic. I wish there was a video comparison on YouTube somewhere.
So far it sounds great and it's super light when I'm hauling it around, huge plus for me.
For what I could tell, the main difference between the Q12 and the CFR is the form factor, right?
I think the guy who offered me a trade is coming over tonight, so I will have the chance to try it out...
Hi all, bumping this to check on your experience withthe passive Q12. I just got a trade offer for it. how do you like it so far? Is it loud enough for live situations? Do you like it better than a traditional cab? Cheers
That is exactly what I figured by reading the manual. Have been actually using the KPA this way with my KRKs at home (XLR from Main Out directly into KRK Rokit). Not sure why the guy from the studio is concerned though...
Hey guys, sorry, a lot of beginner posts from me... It is all very new to me, the KPA is actually my first digital device.
Very grateful for all the help I have been getting here.
So, I scheduled a rehearsal in a studio which does not have guitar cabs in which I can plug my Powered KPA in... So I figured, heck, I'll just use the PA system in the room.
Well, I told the guy my intention, and he was very suspicious about it, saying he would have to check the KPA specs to make sure I would not blow any of his equipment up...
For what I understood reading the manual, the main outputs can be connected with XLR cables in a mixing desk, controlling the PA, correct? Is there anything I need to check before doing this? Is there any risk to the KPA? I reckon, as the manual stressed, that KPA is protected from Phantom Power devices, so I am not sure what the studio guy is concerned about... For what I understand from the manual, I would not need a DI box for connecting the KPA in the desk, right?
Cheers
Thanks for the tips guys. Will let you know how next rehearsal goes. Cheers!
Yes, CAB was off (globally). Not sure what happened, maybe my cab was positioned in a wrong way. Just played for a while now, and even with levels waaay lower than in the studio, the KPA sounded big, loud and amazing. BEen having a great time with one of MBritt free profiles (Bletchley Bomb, I think this is the name).
Volume wise... Could not hear myself very well, the other guitarrist was using a cheap modeller through the FX return of a JCM900, and I used the Power Head through an Orange PPC412... He was insanely loud, and we often asked him to turn it down. But I wished I heard myself more, don't know what it was, it sounded weird. Played a MBritt Profile, but did not sound so good. Maybe the cab was faulty, I get better results at home with my PPC212... Any tips of what I may ve doing wrong? Cheers
I just got back from the rehearsal. I played the Kemper through a Marshall 412, and used 4 profiles: a Top Jimmy SL 68, and 3 others that came stock, I think they are from TAF (JCM 800, Matchless and Bassman). It sounded really good, everyone in the band liked the tones. However, I must dig more into the Kemper and to know better about volumes and how to proper set it up. Sounded great, but I think I can do better. I had to increase the Power Amp boost and Master Volume quite a bite to keep up with an Orange TH100 that the other guitar player was using at the studio. But the Kemper sounded great, just like a real Marshall.
So far, no complaints here. There is a lot to do with the unit, but even for a simple plug and play guy like me, it has its value. You don't need a ton of profiles, I see myself using about 5 different amp tones and some fx. Still, the portability, the different tones and the options I get with the Kemper Power Head (cabinets in the rehearsal studio, cabinets live, FOH etc), the value is amazing. In love with the Kemper really.
A question though, for you guys using the KPA with 212 cabinets: are you scared to turn up the volume to keep up with drummers? I am affraid the PPC212 might not hold up so well, and I will have to increase the volume so much that I might blow a speaker up (although there are several posts from people saying this is very difficult to happen - including one from ckemper himself).
Thanks for all the help! Appreciate it so much.
Cheers
Thanks guys, I bought the Power Head, got to spend the weekend messing around with the factory profiles, and played it today at rehearsal. So far, loving it! Will post my thoughts about playing at loud volumes with the band in the other thread. Cheers!
I had the same doubt, purchased the kemper and I am using an Orange Ppc 212, 120 watts at 16ohms. I've read that a lot os peoplr use this setup. Actually, I think there is a post by CKemper himself saying it would be OK.
+1 on the KRK
Yep, cab off through the 212cab and on when going through your FRFR monitors. Cab on through your Orange is like running two cabs in series that's why the sound was not preferable to your ears.
Agreed. It's just that I've read about people going in a traditional cab with CAB on.
