Whats up everyone,
I'm a new Kemper user based out of Columbus. I've had a home studio since I was 18 and played guitar ever since I was 13. Like most folks I started off with Squier bullets and Line 6 Spyder amps...oh the days of tone. After some years of getting into other ways of music creation, I wanted to get back to my roots. Got myself a new guitar (Epi Les Paul Standard), new bass and a whole redesign/setup of my home studio. I used programs like Amplitube and Revalver with Rosen Digital IR's to record my own covers but I just kept feeling like my tone was laking or for better words "it wasn't inspiring". I used to think I'd never end up with a Kemper during those days haha.
After some research and numerous trips to my local guitar center I realized that getting a Kemper would be a dream come true in every sense. I was never really up for debates on technology advancements and how "tubes always win" because all I ever wanted was to feel the way I do at guitar shops when playing at home...blissed the hell out lol. I took the plunge and picked up an unpowered toaster head for $1400 off of Reverb (best deal I could find). It arrived yesterday and mannnn this thing is a beast and a half! I finally got my Rig Manager going and my firmware updated to the latest version, so tonight I can finally start playing without worry.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone here and helping any folks I can
