First newbie thread. A quick bit of background...
I'm coming over from the 11 Rack. Purchased the unpowered rack and remote package. Primarily using this rig in the home studio, playing through a set of JBL 2328 monitors and sub.
As the 11 was lacking in so many areas, I wanted to use pedals on the front end so I bought a VooDoo Lab GCX and GCP to do all the switching. I was using a JHS Morning Glory or a Lovepedal clone for most settings and also a Fulltone Ultimate Octave. These were used and switched with 6-8 patches that were my go to sounds. I never got my Crybaby or Whammy out to use but intended to.
So, on to the questions...
1. To pedal or not pedal. That is the question... Can I get all the above stuff in the Kemper, realistically?
2. If I decide to go with the pedals, should a keep all the VooDoo stuff or just run everything from the floor and us the Kemper Remote?
3. Is there an advantage one way or the other?
Now the sound questions...
1. A lot of the factory patches have drastic volume differences. Is this normal?
2. A lot of the patches I have tried out from other sources, MBritt for one, sound quite dark. Normal?
3. Are most people using a cabinet instead of monitors?
Thanks again for the warm welcome and your time to read and help out!
