Is there any current promos?
I do like my km212p a lot , but wonder if the kones / kab would be an upgrade due to the imprints.
the Km212p sounds great and covers every genre really well and I have never thought of changing it before . I would highly recommend it for a power head.
I suppose I’m just really intrigued with the kab /cone.
Might have to just pull the trigger on one and find out myself.
If you play high to heavy gain, the Kabinet sucks. I don't know how the Kones would perform in a 2x12 or 4x12 but as it is the 1x12 Kabinet it's no good.
I’m interested in the 212P. I have powerhead too and don’t want to waste money buying something with built in power amp that I don’t need. Why don’t you like the 212P? What kind of music do you play through it?
A 112 is never going to sound full like a 412. I would have bought 4 Kones for your cab.

Gemini 2 for high gain rock and metal?
There's a guy that sells them from Europe. They're not tempered glass but would provide scratch protection.
yes - Im using the F200 with the cab sim on -- sounds great, especially the MBritt profiles. Everything from a Deluxe Reverb to a Marshall Silver Jubilee. I've recently started checking out the Kemper Kone imprints, and while very noticeable as you change them, not convinced they sound better than the cab sims in the profiles (they may sound much better through a Kone).
How neutral/flat sounding are the F200’s? They’re FRFRs right?
Sounds like the tube amp (Fryette) power section interacts with your cabinets in some way (variable impedance?) which isn't captured by the KPA but can be added by processing with tube amplification.
It does in 2 ways imo. First you get that feeling where however you play it comes through the amp (alive and not dull feeling). Secondly, atleast for me it brought out that low end rumble, resonance, and thump that’s lifeless in the stock powerhead amp.
if I bypass the power section in my Kemper powerhead and go straight into the Fryette power station to 4x12 cab, The difference is like comparing a solid-state amplifier versus a real tube amplifier. Like comparing an a.m. radio versus an FM stereo.
In fact, you can’t really compare the two because in my opinion, there’s no comparison…
It’s ‘night and day’.
Agreed, same exact for me having both...so I assume you mean the PS2 comes out ahead.
I bought a PowerStation to use as an attenuator (actually, it's more of a re-amper) on my Dr. Z amps, and it was fantastic. When I got my Kemper Rack, I now use it as my power amp into my monitor (was using a 2x12 with Celestion F200-X12, now a 1x12 with the Celestion) and it's equally fantastic. I cannot detect any color added by the 6L6's ... I'm sure on a spectrum analyzer it would show up compared to a Class D, but for my environments I'd defy anyone to hear the difference. The PowerStation is expensive, but given it's various uses, it's really worth it -- particularly if you even need tube amp attenuation. And its 50w of tube power -- it's LOUD, but can also whisper without losing tone.
With the Thiele 1x12 its makes a nice, portable kit. The PowerStation is in the rack with the Kemper and a power supply (6U rack). I also got a back panel from BTPA that let's me have quick, easy connections out the back of the rack.
I assume you’re using that cab and this F200 with cab sim on? How is it?
I have one of these coming soon...can someone clarify what volume to set the Kemper MONITOR OUTPUT to into the line level on PS2? I assume you want to unlink from master volume and set the MONITOR OUTPUT volume on the Kemper to 0.0dB?
Then the PS2 is getting full input level and I use the PS2 to control cab volume...please confirm.
I have it but I'm not 100% sure about profile types differences yet..
What's the easiest way to check it?
Let me know and I'll check it for you.
You can't, it's not really embedded in the data anywhere but I feel like Kemper should make this a requirement (Studio, Merged, DI).
Just wired up the Kones & whoooa.
What a sound. Immediate dial in of a crazy tone & playing along to tracks via AUX is amazing. The power of these has to he heard to be believed.
Massive recommendation.
What cab?
I put two Kones in a Victory Cab that had two V30's in it. I like it. On heavy profiles the V30 setting usually sounds great. But on a lot of the clean settings it's my least favorite and changing the Kone selection improves the sound a lot. Worth the change in my opinion.
So you're talking about imprints? You still can't set it per profile can you? Do the Kones sound bad as an FRFR?
Anyone replaced their speakers in a 2x12 cabinet with Kones? I have a Mesa 2x12 with v30's but just wondering since obviously every tone I use today is v30's in the Mesa.

And I assume you are saying that the power amp in the Kemper doesn't do this?
Not in the same way a tube amp would. Demoing both ways side by side there’s a clear low end difference and feel with a tube power amp vs. the powerhead.
C kemper recommends not to use a valve power amp as it can add too much colour. For this purpose a simple class d amp gives all you need
Yeah we know that. But I’ve run my Kemper by itself using the internal powerhead amp vs. a tube amp. There is no comparison which sounds better in a room with a real cab even if it’s slightly colored.
Back on topic...anyone still using a PS-2? Do you run the Kemper monitor out at -12 or some level and then use the Fryette to change volume up and down?
Direct amp profiles don't generally have the cabinet resonance as they are taken before the cab. This will need to be added to those that don't. A few do.
By tweaking what? Adding a post EQ or increasing bass in the output menu?
