I’ve got a power Attenuator/load box and an IR loader to run with 5e3 already, I was more saying I’d have to sell my 5e3 and all my pedals to be able to afford a Kemper Floor unit. Not sure I’m prepared to let my real amp go just yet but the Kemper is tempting!chur wrote:Nah I haven't been a to a gearfest to date. I do still have an Unleash V2 laying about doing not much nowadays. Only way I'm playing my valve amps nowadays is via a Captor and IR loader.Kris wrote:Did you ever try running the 5e3 thru chur's badcat unleash?

Curious to see what you end up with as I’ve been considering a Kemper Floor unit with a smaller power amp
Like the Seymour Duncan Power Stage 170 as well. Would need to sell my whole rig to do it though and I just love my 5e3 so not sure I can follow through.
How’s the cab sound?
If not in a rush I'd say save up so you can have both, at least until you have had time to gel with the floor unit to ensure you can live with it alone. You can give it a fair chance then, without pining over the amp you lost.Reg18 wrote:I’ve got a power Attenuator/load box and an IR loader to run with 5e3 already, I was more saying I’d have to sell my 5e3 and all my pedals to be able to afford a Kemper Floor unit.

Oh, I actually had two and sold one a while ago to buy... something that I now forget.. must have been importantKris wrote:True! Well as ive said in the past i might be keen to take it of ya hands if its got a layer of dust on it.Inherited back my old VH100R and that thing only knows tropical cyclone levels of volume.
I think I'll keep this current one, as no way I can play with the JMP without it.I wish it was the case, got a long standing deal with the wife that I’ve gotta sell something to buy something, she doesn’t care what I buy mind, just as long as the money doesn’t come out of anything except my guitar account!chur wrote:

So this'll be my rig really. 
Already thinking I need to make a perspex cover for it. I'm sure the aftermarket will be all over it. Maybe Durex will make one.Dharmajester wrote:Think I'd use the floor unit from inside a large transparent plastic bag if it was a pub gig though
Don't know but it apparently does some auto contrast thing depending on conditions.chur wrote:Is the display on that unit big enough to read/see standing up? Looks a nudge small.
the HXS is awesome, I have both the HXS and KPR. If Kemper comes up with a stomp version the screen will be the size of a fitbit watchReg18 wrote:I’d love to see Kemper do a similar thing to the HX Stomp, like a smaller version to fit on a pedal board for just loading amp models, forget about the effects and make it half the price! Now that’s something I’d buy in a heart beat.
I like how your rig has the matching green cab and Kemper, looks like it was meant to be a pair.
I need to go try one of these HX Stomps, I saw one go for $700 on FB last week but I wasn’t quite cashed up to grab it. How do you find the amp sounds compared to the Kemper?KNNZ wrote:the HXS is awesome, I have both the HXS and KPR.
