I have a power head that so far I’ve been mostly using through a PA, sometimes with a small Mackie monitor attached to hear myself.
Most patches are for assorted electric guitars, everything works great and as designed. Sound guys and audiences have always been happy and I like the amount of control I retain over my stage sound. This also works great with my acoustic. I just plug in with the same cable as with the electric and I have a patch for my J45 with all amp/EQ/cab Settings turned off on the stack section - basically using the Kemper as an active DI box but with full access to effects. Sounds great and no need to run a separate channel for acoustic.
Now I’m considering getting the Kemper Kabinet for a series of gigs with a trio for better room stage sounds for the electric and for easier use during practice (no PA for that). How will the acoustic sound through the Kabinet? Comparable to a full range monitor? Better? More limited in the frequencies? Again, technically I’m not using a profile for the acoustic; bypassing the stack (never found an actual acoustic profile I liked and the direct output from my guitar with an Anthem pickup works best).
I’m sure the Kabinet is an improvement for in-the-room-sound with my electrics. Majority of upcoming shows will be acoustic, so I’m on the fence if I’m wasting my money at this point.
