Amp and Kemper together anyone?

Jesone · March 3, 2016 at 1:56 PM

So my live rig has been a Kemper and DXR10 for a long time now, and I'm shortly going to upgrade it with the very new & sexy Matrix FR12.
BUT............I have just stumbled upon a Marshall Silver Jubilee combo nearby of sale and I'm going to grab it. The Jubilee has been a grail amp since I walked into a little guitar shop called Amen Corner in Bracknell back in 1987 and saw these silver beasts for the first time.
I've always wanted one, but never owned one for a wide range of reasons.
But here's my chance of a 50w combo in pretty decent condition and I simply must have it!!!

Is anyone running both amp & Kemper together in a live rig?
An suggestions on how I could make decent use of both?

I'm kinda thinking of maybe having an A/B/Y switch to switch between the Kemper and the Jube to use that as my lead solo tone.
Thoughts?

Might be a bit unromantic, but why not just profile the Marshall and use it through your Kemper?
Other than that, you could think of running a dual-amp setup.
So you have the Marshall-Sound + Kemper at the same time.
Could be Distorted + Clean.
Or Marshall + Mesa
etc.

The Silver beast is a great amp. If you want it, get it!

This. Go after your gut feeling. Don't be sensible.

Get it.

They used to be easy to find, and cheap. Then Slash and Bonamassa let the world in on MY secret

Is it a 1-12 or a 1-12? If it is a 1-12, and sounds boxy to you, get a 4-12 cabinet for it, and all will be well.

Once you get the amp, would be great if you could share it with the good folks here on the forums. I've never seen or played through a Silver Beast, so if you're feeling generous, do some profiles and put them up on the rig exchange!

You get good rep for great profiles, if that's any incentive!
