Out of curiosity, are you using the powerhead or the unpowered?

Something in your setup somewhere is different.
These devices do not change their sound based on the wind!
If it is, I hope I can find the difference in setup, because I would rather keep the powerhead for versatility.
But, it's not far fetched to assume the power section having an influence of the overall sound it produces.
I can certainly hear and feel it between the two at this point. Same exact settings as far as I can tell!
-
In fact, I will go as far to say that if my initial impression of the Kemper was the sound I'm getting out of the Powerhead at this time, I wouldn't own a Kemper. All of my other gear is vintage guitars and amps, I'm very picky. The sound out of the unpowered was good enough for me to start using the Kemper. The powerhead does not give me the same experience. I think the power section detracts from the tone.

I'm running both side by side. Same exact settings.
I'm using monitor out ( left ) on both units going into my Apollo Twin.
The unpowered version sound smore natural, warm and fun to play.
The powerhead is more digital sounding, colder...
Not by a huge difference, but enough to make me enjoy playing more on the unpowered version.
My Wife and Daughter hear the exact same thing I'm describing.

My Wife and Daughter concur.
Right now...
I'm running the powerhead and the unpowrered version side by side with the exact same settings.
Unless there is another settings being overlooked...
The unpowered head sound and feels more natural and warm. Makes me want to play more!
The powerhead sounds more on the cold and sterile side.
I'm thinking there may be either a settings I'm overlooking on the powerhead OR...
The power amp section somehow detracts from the tone?
-
Well, I'm A/Bing my unpowered with the powered and tge unpowered sounds more real and less digital. Same settings!
I was thinking I may have done something wrong, but perhaps the unpowered head sound better.

Yes, I did this on purpose. I only wanted my favorite rigs from Tone Junkies, M Britt and Carl Verheyen.
Did I do this correctly?

Is it possible to make Tik Tok, YT, FB or IG videos with the Kemper using iRig into an iPhone 11?

Hi, PrivateGuitar.
Make sure you enter your name the same way on the new Profiler as on the old one. If you entered your name differently, you can change it.
Press the System button.
On page 1/18 Press the first soft button [Edit Owner]
While you're there, make sure the device name is the same (the default is "My Profiler").
Then you're good to go - no changes required in Rig Manager.
Does it automatically transfer all of my downloaded profiles too?

Awesome, thank you.

I have been using unpowered toaster for the past week.
My new Powerhead arrived today.
Will the rig manager work flawlessly with my new Powerhead or do I need to reset my Rig Manager to accept the new device?

A tube power amp will color the sound and is not at all what the KPA or the Kabinet/Kone was designed for.
The powered Kabinet uses a class D amp, the same type as the Powerhead.
Option A will give you what you want, as well as the flexibility to plug into different cabinets.Option A it is!
-
Good point.
-
I have option A and I am perfectly satisfied with that. In my studio, I have the kabinet behind me (acting like a stage amp) and kemper outputs to studio monitors (acting like FOH). Plus you get to use the speaker imprints with a kabinet. Can't do that with regular cab.
This is the exact setup I am imagining.
-
Should I:
A. Buy a Powerhead and unpowered Kabinet?
B. Buy unpowered head and run into tube power amp > unpowered cab?
-
I am asking because I have read where some people prefer the sound of the unpowered head going stereo OR going into a power amp and then into a cab. I want the best tube amp in the room sound possible.
-
Does the unpowered version have better capabilties to run stereo, or are they both limited like this?
-
Will the Kemper Powerhead run stereo like the unpowered?

The unpowered Kabinet sounds great with Tc Bam 200 in my setup... I am also queries in direct comparison between powered and unpowered Kabinet. ?
I'm wondering if the unpowered head into a tube power amp yields a more desirable tube like response than using the powerhead straight into a cab.
I suppose you can do the same with the powered head coming out of the regular outputs into a tube power amp as well.
