Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum. I've been eyeing a Kemper amp for quite some time, and I've been saving up to buy one. I'm a long time guitarist but I don't know much about the technical side of amps. Mostly I operate on, "Ooh, I like how that sounds!"
I mostly need a tool for recording, and although I'm not currently gigging I'd love to use the Kemper as an amp when I eventually do play live again. So a couple quick questions I hope you can shed light on:
- What are the advantages/disadvantages to buying the regular Kemper Head vs. the Power Head?
- The Power Head is a bit more expensive, but I'd have to buy a speaker with a power amp later if I wanted to use it live, right? The most reasonably priced one of those seems to be the Tech 21 Power Engine cab, any experience with those?
- In the end it might cost about the same to get the powered cab later, so are there ways this is preferable/not preferable to having the Power Head?
Thanks a lot for your help... It's mostly a matter of dropping about $2k now (plus the powered cab investment later) vs. $2.5k a little later.
