Glad to hear the seller is working with you to get it fixed. Once the issue is fixed, you shouldn't have any issues. Pretty aggressive tone! What profile are you using?
I was using an Engl Fireball, had a green boost in front, and eq in post. Even standalone without a boost or eq I really enjoyed this patch. I used it in a recording with a Driftwood Purple Nightmare.
I did not try a different speaker cable. The power cable seats tight in the socket and I'm careful while installing or removing it from the unit
Display Morethat video... that isn't just your amp crapping out. It looked like the entire unit shut down and restarted.
But to answer the question as to what to do for sound until you get the unit figured out...
I am partial to JBL Eon. They are good. They are readily available, which means they can often be had very cheap.
I know it isn't just a power amp, but it is an option.
Ya, it'll do this a few times, then won't start up for atleast 20 minutes. I didn't want to put this head through that issue again. Luckily the seller is really working with me to get this fixed.
Video of the failure in action, time from fire up to failure is less than 2 minutes. Luckily it didn't brick this time. Definitely is a power amp issue. Sucks.
Something is wrong as others have said here..I have the powerhead, run through a recto 4x12...The other guitar player has a 50 & 100 W Marshall. We play LOUD...I have no problem keeping up or being not loud enough. Just run 1 4x12 @ 8ohms. Shoul dbe PUNISHINGLY loud.
Heading up to my rehearsal space today to run 1 can at 8 Ohms and see how it works out.
Awhile back I saw someone post there head in a live in case. Looking for something that I can put the head in and rack mount a poweramp. Any ideas?
I woudnt say that..
The power output is linked to Monitor Output and to its settings.. how was the Volume setting of Monitor Output? 0db?
Can't be sure unfortunately.
Could be I was trying to force a stereo rig with a radial cab-link? Mismatch in Watts or ohms?
Ya i know, but it was really struggling, and it's more that now I'm nervous to use the power amp because I don't want to destroy the head.
I have the powerhead and yesterday at practice I was thoroughly disappointed at how quiet the head was in a live band setting, additionally i must have been trying to push the head too hard as it bricked 3 times on me and we had to call band practice early. I figured I'd rather run the kemper as a pre amp and buy a power amp so I can run stereo out to my 2 cabs.
Looking for something that can safely run 2 8 ohm cabs.
Thank
***update: seems this was the overpower protection, I believe I was being to impatient and not letting it sit long enough, the head is operational as of this morning***
I purchased a Kemper of Reverb and just received it earlier this week. Up until today I was only using it unpowered, but I had practice today. I enabled the poweramp and ran it through an 8 ohm cab. While we were playing, it shut off and immediately restarted. We played again for about 5-10 minutes and the unit shut off. I found a thread that said that this a safety feature that's meant to protect the head from damage. So I left the head unplug for about 20 minutes and restarted it. It started to power up, I stepped away for less than a minute and when I came back to the head it was off. Now it won't even attempt to start up. Idk what to do. Has anyone run into this or have any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick
Hey all,
It's been awhile, but I'm back in the Kempersphere. Can someone tell me where I can find the rig editor and how I go about using it? I can't seem to figure that out!
Thanks,
Nick
