Hi all,
Long time reader of the forums, but first time posting. It's a pleasure to see how supportive and constructive this community is, and I'm excited to finally join in. I'm getting close to finalizing my decision to purchase a Kemper Stage. I have two questions:
1) If I am utilizing an FRFR cabinet as my only audio monitor, can I play an Mp3 (eg. via iPhone) while simultaneously playing through the Kemper in performance mode? I know that by utilizing the auxiliary input, you can plug in an MP3 player and jam along with the audio routed to headphones, but what I'm curious about is if I can do the same but with a single FRFR monitor. Simply put, can I play an Mp3 file from my phone and jam along with the same FRFR speaker?
2) A more general question: From my readings about the Stage, it seems there were a number of hiccups in the early days. At this point (Summer 2020), is the Kemper Stage as reliable a piece of hardware as its big brother, the Toaster? I'm a minimalist at heart, and love the idea of using just the Stage and a light FRFR as my main rig. I live in a city, and fantasize about being able to walk to the train with the Stage, my guitar, and the FRFR in hand.
Thanks for your input in advance,
Sam
