My kemper is evil!
It is I tell you. My Kemper is just about the best, and most satisfying gear purchase I’ve ever made. I’m totally satisfied with to tones and near endless library of profiles. That said, some of the tones I want more and more of, so I’m thinking of buying some of the actual amps that my favourite profiles are based on
Krank seems like everyone’s favourite company to bash, but they make some totally killer stuff. Dialed in right, the Krankenstein+ sounds AMAZING’ powerful low end, singing upper mids and a great solo tone. The Rev plus is a great rock amp and the 1980 (with a boost in front of it) seems great too. I’d love to get all of them honestly. And their lower price points make that feasible. A few years back, Tony Krank said he was going back into business and then nothing??? Site went dark and no mention of them. Is Tony Krank still making amps or was their comeback a pipe dream of his?
Then there’s Fryette/ VHT. For years, the CL100 w/ eq was one of my main amps. Opposite of most people, I set up the green as my dirt channel and the red as my cleans. It sounded great but never could I dial out the harsh top end. I’ve thought if getting a UL or SigX. How do they compare? The kemper profiles if the sigx, make it sound lower gain than the UL.
One of my favourite kemper amps is the Splawn Nitro. Never played one in reality, but hated the 2 QR’s I used to own. And in most demos on youtube, the amp sounds like ass. But KSE used them and their tones are amazing! Honestly, I’d love to hear a shootout of the Krankenstein and (boosted) Nitro. If I didnt like the QR, soulf I even be thinking about a Nitro? I’m looking for a very modern high gain tone, but with some nice high mids- sort if like a modern take on a duncan JB- is that a weird analogy?
I love the SLO and if I can find an affordable used one, I might have to get it. I also think the Wizard MTL is badass, but $4k for an amp seems high. And on the really inexpensive side are Ceriatone, the JSX, and the Laney Ironheart (I used to own the 15 watt rackmount version). Anyone ever go this route and buy amps they first played in a kemper?
