Anyone here using a KSR PA-50 to push their Kemper or preferred modeler?
https://ksramps.com/product/pa50-compact-power-amp/
My initial setup was Kemper Stage > SD Powerstage 200 > Hiwatt 412.

I've since substituted the Powerstage with an older Quilter Toneblock 200 and find the push to be much much better than the Powerstage.

Kyle makes some pretty killer amps, and I expect the PA-50 would be another step up with HiFi/Guitar switch & NFB options. Wondering if anyone here has any real-world experience they could share?

Thanks.
 
Not with modelers unfortunately but I do use a KSR PA50 with some Synergy modules and with a KSR Ceres and Diezel Herbert pedal while I had them.
FWIW it is a great and very effectively shapeable power amp. Highly recommended.
 
I have one. I use it with a second line out from my pedalboard for stereo. Great amp and tiny!

It is killer. I used it with an HX stomp, Kartakou Colossus Preamp, and Ceres. It with the Ceres sounds every bit as good as their full blown amps. With the colossus preamp it sounded identical to my 6505.

I sold mine awhile back and bought an Ares. In hindsight I wish I didn't. I'm thinking of getting another one to use with Tone X
 
I have a PA50 that I use primarily for Synergy. Works great, love it. I’ve also used it with the KSR Ceres pedal and that works great also. The Top (Presence), Bottom (Depth) and Negative Feedback (NFB) controls give it a lot of flexibility. Great option to pair with modelers and preamps.
