Aloha from sunny Hawaii. Been playing since the 70s, started seriously gigging over 15 years ago. All kinds of amps, starting with Fenders, then Ampegs, Vox, Mesa, Orange, Two Rock. Pedals? My current board has 15 pedals with two power bricks underneath...40 pounds of tones. We do 80s 90s + alt rock, I use 'em all. I have 3 always on pedals on top of my amp too. Our current house gig the past 2 years, has a steep 20 steps up and down. I used to lug my Two Rock head and oversize cab, pedalboard, gear bag and stuff up and down, 4 trips one way. I'll be 69 next week, and that got old fast! Bought my first solid state amp, Quilter UK... 20 pounds! Got it down to 2 trips one way and my knees, hips and back could tolerate that. I went from 'gotta have that sweet tube tone' to...that's good enough. Took a lot of tweaking but got a very decent tone. I saw a friend of mine using a Kemper. He was getting some real nice tones. It was still a head (toaster) and Kemper Kab, but he had no pedals, only that simple, and light-weight board! I was thinking about it and found Kemper makes the Stage...amps and all the pedals, in one 10 pound package! My brain, and body said this is the future! I 'aint getting younger! Watched a lot of videos, just amazing. But this is like a foreign language/rocket science to this old tube amp/pedal geezer. My friends are helping me out, but already hit a stumbling block. I have a new Mac, but I can't get any rig on Rig Manager to the Profiler Stage. I updated rig manager (3.5.15) but it says Profiler needs an update. Rig Manger shows all 3 'My Profiler' with the Yellow Triangles !!!. I did a search, but could not find any info on how I can update my Profiler. I'll post this question unless someone has an answer for me here.
Looking forward to a new year of killer tones and effects, and one trip up and down those damn stairs! Aloha. Brian
