Who's getting a Kabinet?

Quote from Ingolf

I love the form factor of the Kabinet.

Very elegant, ruggedly built, fairly small.

Very powerful!

The imprints to me are closing the gap to using guitar speakers, they all are very good (and inevitably I Prefer some more ran others).

My favorite feature is the directivity parameter which actually enables me to place the cab in the room without physically moving the cab.

More directivity = more beam, less directivity = less beam.

This will be very useful when placing the Kabinet on a stage and then dialing in the 'sweet spot' regarding where you personally stand on the stage.

You can even morph that parameter (e.g. during soundcheck).

I also love that any aux signal that you feed into the Profiler will be played full-range while the guitar still uses imprints. Awesome.

In full range mode the Kabinet sounds great with an Acoustic (which means it is great quality FR) but for electric guitar I doubt I'll ever use FR again as the imprints are so good and as I'm done with FRFR anyway (as I've stated previously).

The only thing I scratch my head about is the sweetening parameter (accessible when you use FR mode = monitor cab on). It’s very subtle to me. What do others say?

Dude you got one? great to hear you are happy with it, so will this replace guitar speakers for you or still testing?

I'm selling a couple of amps and an orange cab.The Kab has rendered them useless.

Ordered mine last week and due in next day or so BUT corona will delay it. Totally understand the reasons so not grumbling but can't wait.!

Ordered mine 8 days ago, and it might ship today. Like you, I'm not sniveling but I am salivating!

Can’t wait for some detailed reviews. I’ve been looking forward to getting real amp in the room sounds for a long time from the profiler and look forward to hearing more to compare to Tone Junkie’s YouTube vids.

I'm not selling my cabs (neither my amps) but the Kabinet indeed can replace guitar speakers.

I'll be saving up and hopefully be able to afford one when a powered version comes out.

Mine shipped today... Happy dance!

I was very pleased with the imprints feature. They have a great feel and sound. Hoping and feeling a big tone weekend at Madison Square Small Home Playing Room!

Hope I have enough picks to toss to the crowd!

I was laying on the couch and rolled over and I swear it felt like my arm twisted. Order placed. Lol.

I will definitely be getting a powered version whenever it's released!

Haha nice that happens to you too? Like when it feels an alien or some other force controls my arm (and the buy button is clicked).

Out of my normal Saturday routine today and pretty much have the whole day to kill. Looking around the room I have studio monitors, regular guitar cab - speakers, then a cab with Kones. The Kones are a nice addition and give one another great tone option.

Enjoy and look forward to the review!

looks great - kemper at friends who’s isolating (uk) ?. Hopefully get to play in a few days.

I’m sitting and staring at her every hour in the meantime.

Stay safe everyone ??

I got mine;

Kemper Kabinet live at home

Very happy owner of Kabinets. ;-))

I really want to but I'm questioning how much I'd actually use it. I'm mainly a bedroom player and play with headphones so never get that amp in the room feel but then again how much will I use it over the headphones.

I'm still really digging mine. I can't wait to use it at stage levels.

I'm pondering whether to get one or just a standard 1x12 by say, Orange. There is like £100 between the two so do you think I should spend the extra money for it? It'll be mainly for home use as I'm old school and much prefer that "amp in the room" sound.

If I used, say an Orange PPC112 it'd colour the tone too much wouldn't it?

I would want the Fender Twin profile, for example to sound like a Fender Twin amp, a 5150 profile to sound like its blasting out of a Mesa 4x12, etc. This I wouldn't get out of a standard 1x12 right?

yes if you want the sounds to be realistic to the profiled models

better get an kemper cab

Right, so when I change profile will the speaker automatically change with it? E.g a 5150 one I would prefer to use V30's for example, I don't have to toggle this manually do I?

Yeah you can set it per profile
