NPAD - Kemper

I see you have a mixer on your desk. So what is this for? Just trying to learn (and give TB Don a break from teaching me!)

That is an ancient solid state Fender PA. I have been having an issue with a Camplifier I bought used (fits in the back of a non powered Kemper toaster.)
It's a 290 which is 2x90 watts stereo, and 180 watts mono. Thing is I can't get up to gig volume without cranking everything to max, and there's no headroom left.
In talks with Ritter amps about it.
I'm using this Fender 100w PA into the Kabinet. Works a treat, but too big for lugging around to gigs... not that that's an issue right now.
I have an ISP Stealth Pro incoming to test as well.

I like iSP stuff. Got quality, good price.

Sorry you still have not been able to fix the Camplifier. It is such a tidy solution. Hopefully the company will come through for you. But then you will have a decision to make - that or the iSP

Cool! I'm using a Crown Power Amp myself. I went through almost every powered speaker known to mankind
and never found one I liked. I like using the Crown into one on my many Custom Built Cabs that I made myself.
All are loaded with different brands of speakers. I have two 1x12's and two 2x12's. 4x12 was too much form me.

I used two of the Vintage 30's out of my 4x12 for one of my 2x12's and the other two Vintage 30's are for sale.

Tilman Ritter is a gent and is trying to help me. He just doesn't believe it's defective, and I guess I don't blame him. It's the kind of thing that should either work 100% or not at all. I get it. But I'm seeing others with it that are happy. I'm the odd one out... yet again... :ROFLMAO:
Anyway... I'll open a ticket with Kemper, and test the ISP. That will reveal the truth

Love me some V30s. My Avatar 2x12 is loaded with those. I also am gravitated to the V30 imprints in the Kone software

If it makes you feel any better I didn't love mine either. My first Kemper was a toaster and I put one of those in it. Not impressed...
 
I debated a Kemper. Just for convenience and fun. I really dont use a raft of different tones so not sure it isnt overkill. I understand each profile is sort of like a snapshot of an amp at whatever setting? Then you have some control over that with your standard amp settimgs?
I have no desire to load XYZs tones in it etc.

I've played as a rhythm dude in a band for years. I used a 1x12 combo etc.
What I found is that with the Kemper I got to tailor my tones per song as a cover band player. It was an impressive improvement.

Cool! I tend to play my own tones for the most part in the cover bands. Always have, so I think it likely woild be overkill for me. I just got a guitar synth to play with the Godin and it will be far more than I will ever use.
Still for as much room as it takes up, the Kemper is intriguing.
 
I Officially hate you all...now I want a Kemper Kone to play with and put in one of my Cabs.

Every time I think I'm happy someone brings out a new toy for me to try...

Anyone want to buy two Celestion Vintage 30 12" 16 Ohm speakers, Like New!
 
I just read that I can use my Weber Attenuators to do direct Amp profile, so no mic or cab required.

I can also record an amp/cab combo with multiple mics through my mixer.

Apparently, I can do both of these procedures consecutively for a "merged" profile. I understand that this is the best method if you will be swapping cab profiles in Kemper.

I am inclined to do just the Direct Amp profile to remove the limits of my room dynamics and micing skills
