- ☑️ Profiler Head/Rack
Hi,
I wonder what your experiences are with this.
I compared two sets with the exact same rig setup to be played on a real cab:
- Kemper Player with Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200
- Powered Kemper Rack with internal poweramp.
I made sure that both have the pure cabinet settings set to 6 and EQ to 0.0 (or at noon on the powerstage).
Of course there is a difference in tone but that difference was waaay bigger than I expected.
I found out the Kemper poweramp gave way better results and sounded much more like a real amp.
At the other hand I expected the powerstage to act the same way but for some reason I could not even get close.
Especially in the high-mids and low-highs and highs the Kemper was superior
So in other words: even though I can have the exact same profile on the Player I could never get close to the sound of the same rig on a powered Kemper when playing over a cab.
I'm at the point that I'd say 'Please Kemper give us a Kemper Power Amp for use on a pedalboard' just like the powerstage.
Is there anyone out there that did a similar comparison and what are your thoughts about this?
