I compared the Seymour Duncan 170 with the internal poweramp of the head. After 10 Minutes the Salesperson and I agreed: There is no difference in Sound whatsoever.
Because the powermodules in both the Seymour Duncan Power Stages are from IcePower.

Kemper + remote you can use a longer cable for this.
You can power a pedalboard with pedal power, wall wort, battery, etc.
Stage is like if you have to power the amp at your feet.
And with what would you power your Pedal Power?
The Stage is nothing more than an all-in-one-solution with a build in Pedal Power, but without a power amp.
I guess the supplied power-cable is about 1,8 m long. All you have to do is buy the same power cable but longer, i.e. 6 m. Or if you need longer, you can buy a 10 m power cable. It will cost max. € 15,-.
What woud you do if you had a Kemper + Remote?
Or what would you do if you had a good 'ole pedalboard?
Just out of curiousity: how are the eight rotary knobs attached to the chassis of the Stage?
Come on, people have been gigging with flimsy power supplies for their pedalboards for ages, without complaining.
Trust me, this here is solid.
Sure, and that's exactly why there are locking IEC's, locking Powercon's, locking jack sockets and so on.
I don't care what other people do for ages.
Still, if there's nothing to lock it, or something like a strain relief, for me it's not solid enough.
A simple IEC power socket like on the Stage (and a lot other 230V stage boards) does not look like it's rally stageproof. Fairly simple to put a locking IEC socket (the blue one) in it, right out of the factory.
Or a Powercon would even be better.
Very tempting to order a Stage but the fact that it has almost 30 soft keys made me decide to keep my trusty GT-1000.
But for the form factor, screen, audio interface, and rough horse power I’m attracted by the FM3 and many users are describing a better amp feel in the room compared to Kemper...
And how much is "many"? Do you have any numbers? And related to what? I guess (yes, guessing) there are not a lot of FM3-users at this time, since the FM-3 isn't officialy released yet.
Absolutely! The difference between the EVM12L and and the Celestion C90 is a large one.
Mesa Thiele + C90 (which is in fact a Classic Lead 80) = NO GO
I have a couple of 2x12's and have had a handful over the years. None of them sounds or feels like a 4x12. The closest thing that I've experienced is a 1x12 EV TL806 cab with either an EVM12L or a Fane Studio 12L. The Fane is a relatively unknown speaker and not in production anymore. It is an amazing speaker and the Thiele cab has that 4x12 thump that I've never been able to get out of a 2x12.
So true!! I've got two Mesa Thiele's with EVM12L's
As new. Bought at Thomann, half a year ago so 2,5 years warranty. Class D IcePower poweramp: 2 x 700 watts @ 4 ohms. In original package, including rackmounts.
€ 499,-
Damn, I tried the JVM410H yesterday (was actually a coincidence because I forgot my Kemper at the rehearsal and somebody lend me the Marshall) and I'm amazed by how great it sounds. I've been playing so long on a Kemper that I forgot how a real amp sounds. There is still a big difference, especially in the dynamics and pumping of the air. I'm thinking of going back to a tube amp (I have the DSL20RH and plan to try it next rehearsal). I'm really curious if Kemper can make its promises true with the new speaker that they will release at the end of the year. I really really hope that the sound will then be as powerful and dynamic as a real tube amp...
No, Kemper can not. It may be come close but it's still not a tube amp. You must not compare a full tube amp stack (i.e. Marshall JVM410H with 1960) with a KPA + FRFR speaker.
DML Is it the same model Icepower module?
The SD PS700 is stereo, 2x 700 watt @ 4 ohm. The powered KPA is mono, 1x600 watt @ 8 ohm.
So I guess they are not the same
Did you know the Seymour Duncan Power Stage amps are in fact IcePower powermodules build into a Seymour Duncan housing, with the addition of a 3-band EQ? The powered KPA houses an IcePower powermodule as well.
Yes, I'm sure, because I've opened up my Power Stage 700
Anyone used or experienced those rev33 IEM units?
I get the impression they are some kind of HPF+LPF filtering out the audio that is outside of the hearing range but still affects your ear tolerance.
Im told they work on the mechanics and impedance of the ear as well as the driver in the IEM.
All the reviews seem to rave about them but i'd be interested to know your thoughts if you use predominantly guitar in your IEM mix and if you're hard-wired or wireless
That would be something, because most IEM transmitters do not transmit audiosignals below 25 Hz and above 15 kHz, so there is no filtering necessary because this frequency range is within the hearing range.
Well.... A guy can have full tube amp +4x12 cab and make bad music coz he plays badly or the singer or musicien in the band are bad etc Bad musicienship. And another time you'll see an incredibly good show , with a wonderful guitar player playing a Kemper and it will sound 1000 times better than the previous one. I disagree on saying that every Kemper user are below the ''real thing'' and that amp is superior... it depends on the music you make... Especially today as everyone playing 3 chords makes recording and release it on you tube , talent or not...
Did I say every KPA user is below the "the real thing" and that an amp is superior?
Finally? Let's talk again, let's say, about a year from now
My story:
First molded in-ears in 2005, Ultimate Ears UE11pro, pretty expensive but the best investment I ever did. UE11pro had 4 drivers: two for low, one for mid and one for high.
In 2011 I replaced the UE's with Cinepaq molded in-ears (local Dutch in-ear "manufacturer"), again with 4 drivers.
Last november I replaced the Cinpaq's with universal Mackie in-ears MP240, did two gigs with them, but if you're accustomed to molded earpieces universal ones can't match with 'em. So yesterday I've been on a quest for new molded in-ears. A local dealer has Jerry Harvey and Cosmic Ears. Tried all the available models and ended up with Jerry Harvey JH11pro's, with 4-pin cable. Again, a 4-driver earpiece. They will be delivered a month from now.
