I thought i share my little journey, maybe you do, too.
I guess this could be helpful for everybody.
What i tried so far to get an speaker on stage, since i simply prefer to have some tone directly on stage and not just rely on the monitors etc.
I tried
POWERAMPS
the Powered Kemper
an Engl poweramp
a Hughes and kettner poweramp
the camplifier
the mooer tube engine
the Starfield 5050 stereo poweramp
a marshall poweramp
the art sla
Gallien Krueger Micro Poweramp
SPEAKERS
the kemper kone
the celestion g12k100
v30
seventy80
the redcatt 121 findx8
Celestion Gold back
Hemp Back
Cannabis Rex
and many more....
ACTIVE SPEAKERS
Kemper Power Kabinet
Line6 Powercab
Mackie HD1531
and many more i can not remember all
i tried basically everything since i have the kemper
So yeah when it comes to poweramps i stayed with the camplifier eventhough it was not my favorite sound
the winner hands down were the starfield 5050 and the mooer tube engine it is hard to describe but some poweramps are just not that snappy and upfront and the kemper sounds almost too far away if that makes sense to you.
When it comes to speakers and powered Cabs i often have either the problem of an unflexible tone or speakers with a extended highend and that can lead really ugly feedback, not the nice feedback normal amps give you but a super high one, that is why i totally gave up on speakers with an extended highend ... i love the flexibility with the kemper kone but i simply was not that happy with the nasty feedback, sometimes even at lower volumes. so i looked for flat speakers without an extended highend. This is now my favorite combination. The Redcatt 121FINDx8 + the Kemper kone speaker simulation work surprisingly well together and even without it simply fits super well imo.
Here is a list of speakers that work well in that regard, for those of you that have the same backstory:
RedCatt 121 findx8
Monacor SP-302PA
Beyma 12CMV2
Beyma 12MI100
The first two worked the best for me. Let me know what your favorite setup is
madmarcus1960 The Hot Luke is a parofile of the TT Hot Lukas DIY Amp that i built into an old tube radio enclosure. It is based on a Matchless Preamp and a very small Poweramp, i love it if you are interested i can post a picture of the amp it is beautiful imo
as a fellow fuzz freak I actually prefer the modular approach:
The Studio EQ is the obvious choice for all your EQ needs and the Analog Octaver is a wonderful model of a classic analog (duh) flip flop octave down effect. Having these processors as separate stomps enables you to chose their position, octave in front, EQ post fuzz? not a problem EQ -> fuzz -> octaver? sure thing. This unlocks a lot of additional fuzz colors and I wouldn't want to sacrifice those.
The Kemper drive has a slim down knob maybe something like a loudness curve setting for the shin ei superfuzz type tones and on the other side midfocussed would be a easy way to implement it imo

i totally agree! this is right now my way to do it i just fills the stomp section pretty fast, so have to make more presets ... it is just a convenience thing.
First of all ... holy moly i played around with the kemper fuzz and it is amazing i tried to recreate my fuzz pedals and it komplete delivers ...
Kemper did an amazing job with it imo, i love it!
There is only one thing that would make it even more powerful imo.
imo a lower octave and a basic eq either parametric like on the dod boneshaker or a shelf at 120hz and 4khz and two bell eqs at 500 and 800 would make it midblowingly powerful imo
with the eq we could have the difference from fuzz factory to fat fuzz factory inside it to push the amp sim more into muddy territory and the lower octave just sounds awesome too
Hey a few new Profiles are here. I already made profiles of the Sunn Beta Amp BUT this is another twist on that. IT is a replica of the sunn beta preamp called Sol Invictus by Hilbish Design and it is paired with a Tube Poweramp ... so you have the unqiue possibility to play a sunn beta lead amp with a tube poweramp.
I just added another bunch of profiles to rig exchange Look for the "Neuro" stuff Some sounds i mabe using the neural dsp stuff. DI and Studio as always
it is this though but only with gain and volume
