I’ve been grappling this with for a few weeks. I’ve asked various people here and on Facebook and they say the best way to use the powered Kemper through a cab is with ‘monitor cab off’ and the cab light left on.
I’ve tried this and I honestly don’t like the way it sounds. It’s very midrangey, colored, and processed sounding. When I turn the cab light off through my 2x12 it goes back to sounding awesome and like a ‘real amp’. I’ve tried tweaking the output EQ and re-eq’ing my presets with the cab light on and I just can’t get it sounding as good as it does with it off.
I guess my solution for live gigs may be to use an external cab sim on the output to FOH since the internal cabs won’t be active. Anyone else prefer the Kemper this way through a cab or am I crazy?
