Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Zappledan. I don't remember if I introduced myself properly before, haha. If there is a special sub-forum for this, I did probably, but I'm not sure. Anyway: thanks. Just scratching the surface of the Kemper. I used to be a tech nerd, but I am experiencing some resistance to "new stuff I have to learn" lately, so it's a bumpy road...Too many options/ choices...But I will get there eventually.

I'm going to ask how much please? I didn't see anyone ask in all the comments.

It wasn’t askes because it’s mentioned in the 3rd post. And then again, Google is your friend too.

what speaker model do they use?

pamplemousse · March 11, 2018 at 3:04 PM

can't tell

I bought the speaker and I can only say good things about it. It is loud, it can handle the bass and it has very clear representation of effects, like reverb and delay. I think it does change the sound a bit, so I had to change my profiles and I like some now, I did not like before. Before I was playing my Kemper on Yamaha DXR speakers, but I like my sounds and playing now a lot more.

Can only recommend it to others!

any more opinions on the Red Sound? Laney has introduced a new active cab, Line 6 another, so it seems we are getting more options by the minute! I am curious about rhe Laney 112. Cheaper at least.

hey CJ,
consider it a good choice, granted. then it's price vs. who you want to send your money to.
cheers

Anyone else tried one of these ?

Im thinking of switching from my DXR10... need somethng less sterile and warmer !

been using RCF SMAs until now, bought one Redsound to try it out...immediately ordered a second one!
it just sounds more like a real guitar cab...

I just ordered a red sound passive lg12 Stack Version. (using powered Kemper) After contacting RedSound they told me that the shipment is free now for limited time.

I was not really satisfied with the sound of my passive 1x12 Vox cab. Was okay, but headphone always sounded better.

I will share my experience as soon as I get it.

THANK YOU! We need more reviews about this speaker because I cannot find a negative review. Everyone who has it says it's great. That's either a testament of the quality or that simply not enough of a sample of people have tried it.

I would buy one right now but I am still paying the Kemper itself off (lol).

You should create a thread and do some updated ongoing reviews when you get it.

In 2.5 years I have been playing it i have not been disappointed, or i should rather say I’ve been always pleased. Like with amps, the louder the better.

The only drawback I can say is that I don’t carry it to rehearsals as we don’t have our own place where we can leave stuff. in small rental boxes (we are a power trio), PAs on their stands at head height are better for sound diffusion.

Cheers

I will write a review as soon as I have it...

Should arrive next week.

I'm very interested in a detailed comparison to other similar speakers. I tried one at the weekend at a guitar show.

My comments (after 5 minutes trial)

- Very amp like sound (but without a back to back test it's hard to tell if it's better or worse than any other)

- Very wide dispersion - it sounded the same from an almost 90 degree angle

- Looks just right in green with a green kemper on top, but doesn't look very 'boutique' i.e. I'm not sure I'd have it in my living room, but then a PA style speaker is worse in that regard

Overall, I was impressed and would love to hear it up against the usual suspects
