Hey everyone. Are there any 12-step programs to cure the addiction to great tone? 
Here is my Kemper story. Been playing tube amps for over 20 years and I've had some real killers come in and out of the tone shed: '78 Marshall Super Lead, early Mesa Dual Rectifier, Duncan Convertible, Fender Twin, Rivera Rake, and recently a Vox AC30. That is a partial list. I've also owned enough pedals to fill a shipping container.
For years I have been challenged with the same issues plaguing every bedroom rockstar. How do I get great tones at apartment volumes or direct when recording? How do I get a great sounding live rig that doesn't break my back and will fit into the trunk of my car? How do I build a supremely versatile rig that I can use with any band at any time without using three amps and a thousand pedals? And how do I get all of that out of ONE RIG???
Obviously, I had to go digital. gasp...shudder...
Enter the Kemper.
After researching for about month I decided to go with the Kemper over the competition. Why? Couple of reasons. Word of mouth from some great players I know and trust, both locally and at the professional level. Customer reviews touting the Kemper for it's ease of use. And honestly, the good people here at the Kemper forum. I found this place a couple of weeks ago and after doing some lurking I found a lot of nice, supportive people. I thought this would be a nice community to be a part of.
Though I am a very new user my experience thus far has been very promising. I have a lot of tweaking and learning ahead of me but I am excited by the prospects of future Kemper goodness. I just listened to the Michael Britt profile samples and I am floored.
Please be patient with me as I tend to ask a LOT of questions. Yes, I read the manual, thrice. And I will continue to reference it moving forward. But there are just some times where I like to get outside input before going down a path.
Thanks and looking forward to chatting with you all.
