I was WRONG about the Kemper Power Kabinet

In my recent video on the Kemper Stage Profiler and Kemper Power Kabinet I mentioned that I wasn't getting enough stage volume out of the Power Kabinet.
Thanks to some super helpful comments from some of my viewers I now know how to get the most volume possible out of the Kabinet and in this video I wanted to share the settings and show you how I set up my Kemper rig live.
I talk about my experience from recent gigs and also show you an example where I recorded myself playing through the Power Kabinet with a drummer playing in the same room.
I was definitely wrong about the Kemper Power Kabinet in my latest Kemper video.

Wax potting will solve the feedback problem

Just got the Kemper Power Kab from Santa. I think it sounds great. I will try this tip. Thx.

What year is your Les Paul that you are having feedback issues with, and does it have the stock Gibson pickups in it? Just asking b/c I have a 2022 ES-335 with stock "T-type" humbuckers and they are not wax potted. So that may be your issue as well.

Hey Jason, it’s 2014, 120th anniversary Classic and the pickups are stock. I will look into it and see if that could be the issue. I haven’t had any feedback issues while playing through other amps but I’m sure there is a way around this. Thanks for the tip 👍

Love seeing the SWR underneath the Kemper in your studio!

It’s a nice little bass cab but unfortunately it’s only being used as an amp stand these days.

That's a microphonic pickup on your Les Paul - needs to be potted.

Thanks for the tip. I played a gig with the LP a couple of weeks ago and through a Fender tube amp and had the same feedback issues. Will definitely look into this.

Yep microphonic pickup.

I have a general question, can i use amplitube with kemper kabinet? Is there anyway to connect my audio interface to that?

Can the power cabinet power a boss gt1000, helix, or other multi effect pedals?

@davidgallucci4255 Жыл бұрын

At 1:20 you mention not going over the 200 watt limit to avoid damaging the speaker. I’m confused. Since the Power Kabinet has its own 200 watt amp, why is this an issue. I considered the toaster with the built in 600 watt amp and the non-powered Kabinet, but thought that getting the non-powered toaster with the powered Kabinet would be better and safer. I still have to watch the power output into the powered Kabinet? Huh?

So... If I'm going to use it with a Helix I'm technically fucked or I can get a good volume too?

That setting only works if your using the Kemper Kone feature,. I use custom IR's from Bogren Digital and turning on the Kemper Kone turns everything into a tin can sound.. But thank you for the update and the Kemper videos :)

Hey man, thanks for the input. That's sounds a bit annoying. What power amp/cabinet are you playing through?

@boatfaceslim9005 Жыл бұрын

@@nothing55rk Sounds like you still have the IR turned on. If you run a speaker simulation (IR) into a guitar cabinet (non Full Frequency Flat Response cab) then you'll get a speaker response x 2 = tin can. Turn off the IR on the monitor output OR run the output into a FRFR cab. Edit: You're in luck, apparently the Kemper Kone runs as a Flat response *if* you switch off the "monitor cab off" switch.

With one of these, can I run my Kemper Profiler rack by itself with it? as in I don't need a power amp as well? Also can a looper pedal be placed in between?

@Kbald Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can hook your rack Kemper to the power cab, no power amp neeed (the cab is powered). I personally wouldn’t put the looper between the rack and the cab but I’m sure you can. I would rather connect the looper via send/return and place it at the end of the signal chain.

If I have a Powerhead kemper and a kemper kabinet. Should I use the speaker output to the kabinet or should I follow what you say from 0:52 and connect through the monitor out?

@Kbald 2 жыл бұрын

Hey man, now I haven't worked with the Powerhead but from what I can see in the manual the unpowered cabinets should be connected to the Speaker Out.

@iwillnevergetone5 2 жыл бұрын

if you have the Powered unit, do not connect the kemper kab to the red speaker out on the unit. the red speaker out is only for passive/unpowered units like traditional guitar cabs. when using a powered k. Kabinet, i believe they say to use the monitor output
