As a response to " I hope it gets better than this" I want to share an experience I had today. I play in two bands and have always played high quality guitar gear. Think of nice guitars (Nik Huber, James Tyler), nice amps (Mesa Boogie RoadKing, Alessandro) and custom made pedal boards with best best pedals. I now have a Kemper for three weeks. I have only listened to a selection of the available rigs and have quickly tried to recreate all the sounds I need to play with these bands.
The feedback I got today is that all my sounds are so much better than before, especially the clean sounds. On the one hand this is of course great to hear, at the same time, I was a bit shocked. Is this really true?!
In summary, I am so happy and impressed with my Kemper.[Blocked Image: http://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/wcf/images/smilies/smile.png]
Dear God - Is this really true?

Nice to hear! Now for the million dollar question. What FRFR did you go with?
I got mine yesterday and played it through my Jambox and it sounded amazing -
Is this really true?!
Sometimes dreams come true
Congratulation that you have reached this status within 3 weeks.
There are so much to note.
I always had an idea that it can be better, but I needed more than 3 weeks until I understood the Kemper so good that I really was satisfied . -
Welcome to the club. Infinite possibilities available !
-
this is good to hear but who is saying the sound is better ? bandmates , audience , soundman ?

I got mine yesterday and played it through my Jambox and it sounded amazingI use no FRFR at all playing with the bands. When setting up my sounds in the Kemper, I want to hear it on loud volume. I route my Kemper to the mixing panel and hear sound from the FOH system, being two RCF Evox 8 units (which are really good by itself). Then, when I play with the band, I route the Kemper also to the mixing panel and I use an IEM system myself (Sennheiser EW300 IEM G3). No FRFR or other monitor, just the IEM. As said, everyone in the room say my sound has never been better.

Cool story to hear, and the good thing is that it will evolve as your music style mature, just switch to new profiles and there comes a whole new world
-
Yes, Ed, it really is true!
Congrats mate.
-
Excellent news, for you, your audience, your band, and us!

Bandmates are saying this.

Thanks for sharing that
-
Just gets better and better too!

I too had a history of using great gear (my amps were an early Mesa Boogie MK 4 and a Bogner Shiva). But you know you have it right when - at my first band rehearsal with the Kemper, running it through an Atomic CLR - the DRUMMER stops halfway through a song to come have a look because it was the best guitar sound he'd ever heard
-
Bandmates are saying this.
Don't believe them. They're just making a fool out of you to make you happy.

(And don't believe me, I'm only joking).
Thanks for your story. -

You might be even more surprised if you decide to profile some amps.
That is the biggest wow factor I've seen when people use the kemper and hear it next to their amp. -

That is the biggest wow factor I've seen when people use the kemper and hear it next to their amp.I will try that later. First have to get all my sounds and make sure I'm comfortable gigging. Than I will give the actual profiling ago.

Kemper Power Amp + Atomic CLR Passive = FTW
Never stops amazing me and great story.
-
Yes great story... After hearing my Kemper and Clr for the last 4weeks the other guitar player in my newest cover project, just sold his Marshall and bought a KPA

This is what I want to give a try because for a long time now I almost have the same gear as you have: A powered Kemper, a EW300 IEM G3, 2 QSC K8 with a QSC Ksub and an Allan & Heath 22-channel mixer. Also like to play loud.
I tried with several cabs like a Marshall 212 cab and a 4x12 Line 6.but it's not really the thing.Nevertheless I've now been advised to use a Jackson Ampworks 112 cab or a 212 Anyone familiar wtith these?
