My Kemper Review & Goodbye
Here's my review of the Kemper Powered Rack after owning and touring 3 of them for the last 5 years. While I only used 10% of the functions of them in this video it's about how I did end up using it. I was super excited to pick up the Kemper Player and look forward to building our new rig around these cool units.

Touring with In Ear Monitors! - My IEM Fly rig with Playback, Guitar & Bass.

This is our Full Flyrack IEM, Guitar & Playback Rig. We used this on our opening slot for the Alpha Wolf, King 810, Ten56 Europe tour in April 2023. Since that time we have built a few revisions of this which you can see at the end of this video, there will be a new video of this next. Wheres the laptop? THERE ISNT ONE. maybe the only rig on YT lol. Why I use the term "Silent Stage" is because ...

    Great vid! My other guitar player uses one of these and I use the QC. Both sound great together. I originally was gonna get the KPP but at the time it was out of stock for a while. Also nice Guilt Trip shirt! We are touring with them in Europe at the end of Feb super psyched! Looking forward to more vids

      Oh yo! Yeah I agree most of the top tier stuff like KPP and QC are all awesome, maybe I just like the colour green haha. Oh yo you’re touring with Guilt Trip? I see you on IG, we actually played together on the same stage in 2013, New England metal hardcore fest when I was in Antagonist AD.

      Around the redundancy thing, the bands that a probably running the redundant QC probably also have redundant playback with the iconnectivity stuff. Seems to be a trend currently. I can definitely say that our QC has been rock solid, but I guess we aren’t being paid nearly enough to make a redundant setup worthwhile. The question is would these bands also rock redundant axefx or kemper, or real amps?

    This is an awesome rig man. Really well thought out, nice custom cabling. AVB and those SquarePlug SP550s 😙👌Have you played many rooms where the Dante would come in handy or is it more just futureproofing (and because you can/building this shit is fun)?

    • @Luke_Manson
      @Luke_Manson 6 місяців тому

      Hey bro thanks for that! I will do a rig down of the top half in the back there is ALOT of custom cables back in there. AVB with motu is awesome, I have a crazy plan for A new stage box using the 8m and a 1248 and their outputs sent to a Cymatic track 24 for recording and use the Motu AVB ultra lite to run the IEMs. Which leaves the b16 out of the system. Regarding the Square plug TRS i dont recommend them, they look good in theory and the TS works good but the TRS is not great, if you touch them on the combo jack input they make noise, Ill be switching my 8m inputs to the witchcraft low profile XLRS. I dont have a alternative for the 8 TRS square plugs feeding the IEM signals out of the 8m but I want to 3d print some parts for this rig and I have a plane to clean up that area along with mounting the AVB router on a 3d printed bracket. I havent played a room with Dante or maybe I have, i just saw the presnosus AVB to Dante converter and got stars in my eyes for the 1 out of 100 times I'll ever use it lol. I also maybe wanted to use the converter with my Cymatic Utrack 24 with a dante expansion card, but since it's been discontinued i have no idea where to find it. ,maybe second hand. The persons converter has 2 Dante outputs, so i could use 1 output send 16 channels to the cymatic to record the live set and the Dante output 2 16 channels to FOH.

    • @snarezz
      @snarezz 6 місяців тому

      @@Luke_Manson oh man that’s a shame about the TRS Squareplugs. I use the TS ones all over my pedalboards w/Mogami 2314. They fit so snug. I’ll have to keep an eye out on the TRS ones, tho I’m only using them for stereo rather than balanced stuff. AVB seems pretty awesome and I’m kinda surprised that it hasn’t had more adoption in the interface market. Apparently the macOS drivers have a bit of latency but it seems to work great between MOTU devices. I’m sure you’ll make some sound engineer’s day one day rocking up and having them plug a single Ethernet cable into your rig instead of a dozen XLRs. Def keen to see more rundowns on this kinda kit. It’s awesome to see how people are doing it at pretty-DIY-but-big tour scale these days instead of renting a couple of 5150s and an Ampeg fridge and shoving it in a trailer.

    • @Luke_Manson
      @Luke_Manson 6 місяців тому

      hey bro! thanks heaps, I will do a current run down soon :D. So we always have powered cabs if we can, the rack Kempers you see there are the 600W powered models and the bass head is also powered. We've brought 3 of the new*ish* Kemper profile player pedals and using them with the Seymour duncan power stage 170. That way we can take the power amp to the shows we need it and leave it at home for the shows we dont. We stayed Kemper because we already have the tones and know the system. The rack was also overkill considering we never profiled anything ever lol and we also use 1 tone for the whole set so the 3 Player profile buttons are also 2 too many :D. Hope that helped!
