I take it that no one is reading the question.

The powered head is 600w at 8ohm and 300w at 16ohm

I want to be able to use 8 inch and 10 inch speaker from the powered head

Not to sound rude, but it’s more likely that you haven’t explained your issue correctly/in a way that people understand than that they aren’t reading it.

You first asked in the OP “Is there a way or anything on the market to get the Kemper through an 8 inch or 10 inch speaker?” without explaining that you were using a powered head. Then, when I mentioned that you could run a a separate power amp into any speaker cab you wanted, you asked for recommendations, so I provided one.

Let’s start over.

You have a powered head (or two for stereo) and you want to run it/them into a speaker cabinet(s) with 8” or 10” speakers, is that correct? If so, why don’t you buy a cabinet (or two) with 8” or 10” speakers and plug the Kemper(s) directly into the cabinet(s)?

Are you asking for cabinet recommendations? If so, where are you located?

There are a number of guitar pedal sized class D power amps from Seymour Duncan and many others available now that do a great job of powering a cabinet for around $150-300 US if you just want power (e.g., no tube amp coloration).

Not to sound like a smart ass, but you could always get an external power amp and run the Kemper through any cabinet you want.

Out of phase only matters in relation to something else, like if you mic’ed up a cabinet with two mics, they could be out of phase with one another. So if you are using two IRs in the Cab Clone, they could potentially be out of phase with each other, but if they sound good with one amp, they should sound good with others (though you may prefer different IRs for every amp).

Maybe try refining the profile and if that doesn’t work, try using a different IR in the Cab Clone. Then, if you still don’t like the results, try capturing without the Cab Clone and add your IR in the Kemper.

Maybe this should be a separate feature request, but the gate should sense the input (Sidechain input), but should gate immediately prior to the time-based FX (delay, reverb) so between slots 6 and 7. This allows maximum responsiveness and sustain for held notes while simultaneously cutting the most noise. The better hardware gates work this way (e.g., the ISP Decimator II G String) and it is as noticeable improvement in the gate’s behavior.

Interesting. I'm in the US, which is what the store shows. I hadn't considered that availability is regionally based, as it's not like they're going to ship each unit al-a-carte across an ocean when ordered; they either have them available in certain countries/continents or not. But, yes, at least when I've checked from time to time, I don't believe I have ever seen the powered cab available from the KPA store in the US.

I haven’t looked recently, but I bought my powered kabs from the US Kemper Store back in late 2021 or early 2022.

Danke!

Good to have the forum back.

You can still use a condenser mic, you just need a separate phantom power supply between the mic and the Kemper.

According to a Sound on Sound article posted several years back, the ideal volume at which to mix varies with room size:

The ISP Decimator G String II is a gate that can be placed late in your chain (e.g., just before the delay and reverb), but has a side chain input that senses the signal strait from the guitar. Because of this, it is not tricky to set - just set it so that it closes when you’re not playing (with the strings muted) and it won’t close on you while you’re playing. All gates should work this way IMO.

Agreed. I’ve been questioned about it before by people who haven’t used the sweetened tunings, but I love them and won’t go back.

I like that, frama 78. Did you just Velcro the stage to the pedalboard?
