Haven't tried it with my Kemper yet, but it should be easy to do.

Ok, older thread but I have questions.
I am full blown gonzo confused about this reamping $hit.
I want to reamp my '68 Princeton to use with my tonex system.
It would seem that there are 2 ways to reamp.
1, use the speaker out of the amp
2, use a microphone
Now, if I'm using the speaker out from the amp the reamping box would have to also work as a load box since you're taking the speaker out of the equation, that I would understand a special box for.
However, with a microphone can't I just run it into my interface, adjust the levels and go?

That may be because there are varying definitions of the term depending on context and whom you ask. Some record the final output of an amp using a mic and then push that recording through another amp/speaker (or sim). Generally a DI is captured of the instrument itself and then sent through the amp of choice.

However, with a microphone can't I just run it into my interface, adjust the levels and go?

Technically yes, you can. However, pushing amplified and mic'd signal through another amp doesn't generally sound too great unless you're after something very funky/specific. What I've done in the past is simple capture a DI 'copy' of the instrument signal (and using whatever amp I want in the room), then run that capture through other amps using a reamp box. A reamp box is basically like a reverse DI unit; it matches the impedence and levels of a line output to an instrument amp input.

I'm not going to pretend that I invented this concept, but what most reamp devices miss is the option to fine-tune the output impedence to approximate an instrument (typically an electric guitar) better. Humbuckers, single coils - they operate differently and tend to have different electronics and pot values.

Here's my current "prototype" reamp box. Line level in, adjustable output level and impedence. Takes a balanced input, too, but only outputs 'normal' unbalanced signal (like a guitar).
