As far as the ethics go.
I do not and will never pirate a movie, song, software or a game. I know of people that do and I blast them whenever it is brought up.
I did get caught up in the Napster thing though. This is of course was when digital downloads were new and exploding on the scene. I along with many others did not know the direction things were going with this new consumer technology.
Once I got a grasp of what it was truly about I stopped.
Besides I was a big fan of Metallica and I didn't want them mad at
me.
I see the Kemper, along with modelers sort of like a long drawn out Napster. Something newer and in search
of a direction.
All I can say is I really like the KPA. I have found that I like Boogie amps. Never played one before having the KPA.
Will I now buy one?
No, not really unless I got a stupid deal on a used one.
I couldn't help but wonder, since I first got my KPA , what will become of amps?
I guess the future may be back to modeling but more as their own circuit creations in a software package.
The Kemper is a just a point in time that can take advantage of what has been already created.
Way down the road it will just be a collection of the classics.
If and or when conventional amps become extinct It will all be software based.
Guitars will change too. No more strings to hurt your fingers.
