Welcome - and tell your wife.
Don't talk about the technical features but about 'how much fun the new box is', 'how excited you are' - and that you don't need a new amp ever
-
better tell her how cheap all the new amps will be, when you need new profiles
-
Welcome!

welcome!
Don't halloo till you're out of the wood! One fine day the next G.A.S. attack will hit you for sure

all good advice..... and honesty is always the best policy*
I placated Mrs Dr Dr Smirnoff by selling a large number of amps over the last fortnight making my Kemper 'technically' free. Its made for a neater office, and IMHO a pretty cool rig.
( everything** pictured is connected to the loops of the Helix), there's another cab behind me - making for a monster stereo rig.

I like the wooden rack with the two drawers. Where is it from?

Ikea. Ivar shelving (2x 30x178 sides, one shelf, 2x sets of drawer runners. And 4x castors/wheels) . And some screws and glue.
The 30cm deep Ivar shelving is just right for shallow rack units. Once you bolt the rack units in place, it stiffens the whole rack considerably.
I added plywood sides and a top using velcro/magnetic catches (with sound absorbing foam to silence the fan in the Marshall 9100/JMP-1 transformer). Its pretty cool.

Great! Thanks for the detailed description!

Wow, this is very cool. Can I assume that you don't travel with your rig that much? If so, how do you gig?

Its only for home use - no gigging. The kemper (and Helix) are the best home rigs ever.

Thanks - Its the third iteration/incarnation of the rack. Each version got a bit more refined / stable... and tall. I got the idea from the old Ikea hack of using a Lack side table as a 19inch rack (for networking equipment)...... and I had some spare Ivar ....and screws!
