Hi All,
I was an very early Kemper user in 2012.
I remember to be one of the first Yamaha DXR 10 users
This was still the time without performance mode and modified Behringer FCB chips.
as I mainly intended to use it live at this time, one day I sold the Kemper still waiting for the Performance Mode.
Now I am just playing in one SKA, Rock, Soul Band I used to play in a Latinband as well.
Since then I went through lots of amps mostly small amps trying to have a lightweight setup:
Valvetech Vac-22: Wonderfull amp I was almost bought it again as you get them used quite cheap
Mesa Boogie V: great amp and tone machine, just a bit heavy
Mesa Boogie V Mini: almost perfect for size but wrong channel mix for me as its not possible to switch between clean and crunch by foot switch
Bogner Atma: even smaller that the Mesa Mini, perfect 70-80-80 crunch and rock machine but the clean mode was somehow lacking
Mesa transatlantic: some very useful Vox sound but the typical Boogie sound was missing
Carr Ramber: I had these amp the last three year, pur clean amp with Heaven tone and with good pedals you go can almost everywhere,
I should actually kept the Ramber but could not afford to buy the Kemper or another good Amp and keep the Ramber
Fender Blues Junior: I bought this as temporary amp, but not liked it all, after playing the Rambler the BJ sounded really bad to me.
Actually I did not wanted to buy the Kemper again, just wanted a two channel amp again but then there was they offer I could not resist.
So I bought an older Kemper Toaster with Foot controller, it had some LED Problem BUT I send to Kemper and they replaced all LED Rings for free
and even gave me a new Leather band for free !!!
Now I reading the Manual, looking through the forum and realized that really a lot happened in the last years.
At Home I Play through an ALTO TS 210 (incredible for the price) and some Yamaha NX-500 "Monitors" (not real studio monitors but based on the NS 10) both work excellent. It is so cool playing great crunch sound at bedroom Level or turn it up. Next week will be first rehearsal.
I will now sell the rest of my Pedalboard, maybe I keep my BarberBurn Unit, but there is no need to keep any TS style pedal.
I am really happy to have the Kemper again and talk to you !
Cheers Michael
