Powercab 212 Plus Has Lost Roughly 80% Of It's Volume

Hi All,

I've been using my Powercab212 Plus, with a Kemper Stage since February of this year for all of my gigs (roughly 150 or so). Yesterday my band played two gigs. The first gig everything was fine, worked perfect, as it always has. After setting up at the second gig, not 2 hours later, the volume coming out of the Powercab waas very low - to the point where, with the volume all the way up I could hold on a conversation with my drummer. I went through all the settings, everything is as it should be. 

I brought it home today to mess with it and it's still the same. I have another Kemper at the house and tried with it - same thing. The only way I'm able to get any kind of volume through it is to set the input type to Instrument - but then I'm overloading the inputs and the red lights stay on.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this and, if so, what should I do?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Strange... but agree, sounds like it’s the PC+. I have the PC+ 112, but if I was facing the same problem, I would start by making a backup of the PC+ (config, presets and IR’s) and then do a factory reset.

 

The backup Is a bit strange, in my opinion… (I think it’s only run backup of the configuration, not IR’s and Presets). Backup of config is done from Powercab Edit under the Load/Save tab pick “Save Preset”. Presets and IR is exported from respective tab by selecting the “Presets”/”IR’s” you like to save and hit “Export”. You choose the destination where I should land. A good idea is to take a screen shoot of the list or write down in which position presets/IR’s are placed, position number is not marked on the file and they are all exported individual.  

 

The “Factory Reset” is done on the PC+. Hit and hold the “House”-button. The display menu change and scroll down to “Factory reset”, think it’s the second from the bottom. All IR and Presets will be erased, and config will be set to factory default. 

 

In this state I would test the unit again and see if it back in order. You might have to reenter some of your config, like input gain again, but if it’s not a hardware failure it should come back up again. 

 

One more thing if above is not working try to reload the software (I presume you are on the latest version…), but I guess L6 will ask you to do this anyway…

 

Hope it will help. Sorry for a long answer… tend to do that :-)
