Hey, so I've had my Kemper Rack for a couple weeks now, but decided a powered head would suit my needs better, so I did an exchange with Sweetwater. Well, I opened up my Powered head today & there's a few things that bug me about it, and one thing I think may be a legitimate issue. First gripe: The checkenhead knob feels like garbage compared to the rack. Especially as you move it between the Browser & Performance mode, it barely clicks at all, just sort of lumps over to the other position. On the rack it had very solid, confident clicks. Second: The Delay & Reverb buttons feel like garbage as well. They have to be pushed considerably harder than all the other buttons to register.
Third, I noticed a significant gap between the top green shell & the Kemper itself. Does everyone's look like this? :
And lastly, which may be a legitimate functionality concern, the noise floor of high gain amp models seems to rise significantly depending on the brightness of the LED collars?! Please see video:
I still want a power head, I'm just not sure that I want THIS power head
