Hi guys,
I've had a Kemper Stage for a couple of years now, but so far, I've only used it in Browser mode, for recording at home. However, for the first time now, I'm planning to use it for live gigs. I was hoping you guys could help me with the proper setup requirements. I have watched quite a few video tutorials and also read the user's manual, but there are still areas I find confusing.
Mainly, I'm hoping to get a step-by-step list of instructions on how to setup the profiler stage (specifically for the Powered Kabinet). I'm already clear about using the Main Outs for the P.A. (house mixer), and the monitor outs for my powered Kabinet.
However, for example, I'm confused about the "Monitor Cab Off" option. When using the profiler stage with the powered Kemper Kabinet, do I need to check this "Monitor Cab Off" box?
And another question regarding the Kone imprints... The main amp profiles that I plan to use are a Marshall (Plexi or JCM800) as well as a Vox AC30. Those are the main tones I'm going for. Could you please advise me with regard to whether to use various Kone imprints, and how to go about it? Or should I just use not use imprints at all? I suppose this question is also somehow related to my earlier question about the "Monitor Cab Off" option.
Also, on a totally separate topic, assuming I will need to play reasonably loud at the gig (noisy bar, etc), is there any problem or risk with turning the volume knob on the Powered Kabinet all the way up to maximum (in terms of damaging the Kemper Kabinet)? For what it's worth, I will also be using a volume (expression) pedal.
Thank you for your help.
