Display MoreAnother update.... so ive received the kone and celestion now. Had the day off to try them both since around 10am eastern time... im tired, have played all day basically! Also note that they havent broken in yet. There are less than 3 hours on these speakers. Maybe that makes a difference once broken in???
First of all, This is a review of MY findings and my opinion. Take it or leave it.
-celestion f12 x200
As i mentioned before. I had a tough time dialing in a tone. I used the top jimi vhii profile most of the time for both of these comparisons.
Using the kemper kone mode with monitor cab selected off-selected, I got a nice full range sound but it was very fizzy. I adjusted the eq settings, added an eq still no joy. I just couldnt get a good tone that I liked. I tried it with monitor cab off deselected so now its a full range style-no thanx didnt like it.
kone-the exact same as above. Couldnt dial in anything to my taste. Just sounded way too fizzy and too digital. Again, I know this is a digital device but, slight disappointment.All in all, i think I will be sticking with my mesa cab stock from now with my v30’s. It sounds way more pleasing to my ears and sounds and feels like I am playing through a real amp in the room which is what I was trying to achieve before.
Ive tried frfr in the past and it didnt work for me then, this was a test to see if it would sound better in a real cab, alas! No... still not my cup of tea.
I will stick to my real cabs n speakers for now. Was a fun but tiring test.
Hmmm... Bummer! I must say that I don't detect any fizz on my Kone. I bet you're setup the same, but here are my settings in RM...
Obviously never mind the volume setting... and of course the speaker choice. What speaker imprint are you trying?
