the FINAL word on the Kemper

[ProgFree]

By the way, where do the speaker cabinet and mic impulses fit here? I see people here bashing the Kemper due to lack of ethics and at the same time this same people are using impulses of cabinets and mics. Including the guy that made the video. Double standard?

This is my final word...

MKIIC+ profile. My favorite.

I've got the one's by djemass and they are absolute insanity. I keep going back to them. You got any others I should check out?

He's my problem, you can bitch about stealing music and profiling amps but it's not going to change a thing. This is the world we live in and musicians have got to figure out how to adapt and move it forward. You're not going to stop illegal downloads or profiling of amps. Profiling is only going to get better and better. I wish I could go back to the 90's when I could gig 7 days a week touring the states. I spent my share of time bitching and complaining but I came to realize that it's all just wasted energy. Musicians have got to figure out how to make it work moving forward. It's sad but complaining about something that you can't change is pointless. I want my hair back too but it ain't happening LOL.

I'm glad I have a kemper. I have about 3000 profiles. I use the same 3 over and over

I don't feel bad. I've given Mesa Boogie probably over 15k in my life in amp purchases. Will probably buy another at some point.

This thread is still alive and kicking? SMH

 

[Stumplegriltskin]

Yes it's still kicking. I'm still waiting for one of the "experts" to insert a pie chart or graph into the thread.

Interesting deduction Dr. Vrad. I found different results with my study;

 

[Stumplegriltskin]

@ pie chart.

I like the part where he says" if he likes it so much why is he playing a bogner ecstasy onstage" tubes are a brilliant design with glowing parts inside glass that make sounds that push air, modelers are cool and that's no joke.Its not a comparison nor should it ever be,it's not the same product so why should it be aimed at replacement?The guy who buit it doesn't play guitar" tell that to the Wright Brothers!!! If it's so wonderful why doesn't it stand on its own instead of mimic factor? Give me a 4x12 a Les Paul and a tube amp,prefer a British voiced, and keep the clone for the day when it's against the law to play guitar.

 

[Beandust]

I don't bash modelers nor disagree with anyone liking them.I don't know what the debate is.They are not tube amps so why are they supposed to be?If you want a ferrari do you buy a volkswagon cause it sounds and drives like a Ferrari? Hmm..I can see the convenience of having one to use in a traveling situation.It's not !!!!!going to be the same as a wall of marshalls it's supposed to do a good job of replacing that,so here we go again..It's not the real thing,it's a replacement so why can't that stay the main focus? If I could by another tube amp head or a modeling amp..I'd buy another tube amp head.I have had modeling rigs,fun to play,it made me want a better tube amp and realized it's world full of choices so I'm digging it..Friedman,Diezel,Marshall,Mesa,Bogner,Landry,Cornford,Fargen,Metroplex, or a lunchbox with lights? Your kidding right?,,

The OP said it was the FINAL word. Why are we still discussing it?

 

[Stumplegriltskin]

Do any metal bands actually use them on stage? I know Gary Holt loves his Kemper, but does not use it on stage. I heard Testament uses them, but not on stage.

As far as I know, Trivium, Hypocrisy, Babymetal, Devin Townsend, August Burns Red. I even found out Madonna's guitarist uses them live

That's all I can think of from watching these bands.

Don't forget Dino and Fear Factory. He is a user as well. If I was a touring musician, it's a no brainer to bring one of these units and save a pile of money on freight costs and cargo.

blah!!!!

 

[jamme61]

What about Joyo don't they rip off all the pedal mfg.(he's ok with that) I think Kemper might even cause someone to buy a tube amp after playing the profile.
