I recently bought an used Powerhead. It shocks me that it takes so long to just power up or down. It literally takes more than 1 minute to power up. I am wondering if it is normal or I just had bad luck and got a faulty one? Thanks
Powerhead takes more than 1 minute to power up?

It is not normal but it's most probably software related, not a faulty hardware. I got this problem once in the past and I contacted the support, I don't remember the exact procedure but it was a simple problem to resolve.
A Kemper with a factory setting should take about 50 seconds to start up and 10 seconds to shut down.

Mine was like that when i got it , it just had way to many profiles on it… cleared it out and use my 5 only . Turns on quick

Have you updated the OS to the current version? Mine starts in about 20-25 seconds with about 500 profiles.

the Profiler Head and Rack take about 1 minute and 15 seconds to boot. The Stage is a lot faster and takes about 15 seconds. The number of rigs in memory does only make a difference when the unit was powered off accidentally. If you use the power button or the chicken head to power the Profiler off the number of rigs does not make a difference in regards to the boot-up time.

this has been the normal behavior for Head and Rack models for many years.

Thanks for the reply. So I take it as it is normal to take more than 1 minute to boot up the Profiler Head? I wonder why it's so slow. I mean, come on, more than 1 miute?
Really? And how many minutes does it take your phone, computer, tablet to start up? It takes longer than 1 minute to warm up the tubes in an amp.

Think about how long a cold tube amp takes to get to full operating temp. Some need to percolate half the night to hit full-tilt. Its worth it...but dang.

I have to admit when I first turned on my KPA, and it took a minute, I was a bit surprised, but quickly got used to it. It's not like I need to turn it on and off constantly and waiting is a workflow killer. I did a factory reset just in case, as I bought it used, and put only the factory profiles on. Still the same start up time.
If it's any consolation, my Fractal FM3 takes 30 seconds, and my Kemper takes 58 seconds. So twice as long, but both are longer than my regular boring old bass amps, which are about 5 seconds to noise making.
Must have a lot of data to load and organize upon startup.

My whole sound went down at a show (during a song)then we realized someone somehow knocked out the power to my rack. It seemed like an hour for the kemper to boot up. (It booted normally and b4 the song was over, it just felt like it)

I’m guessing the beating of the persons that unplugged it took much longer.
-
Mine took about 1:08 to boot.
Never really noticed before.

I had a girlfriend who would call and tell me to hurry home or she would start without me.

So, it’s like this then…
