New to Kemper / Mayones - Seymour Duncan - Keith Merrow contest

HateWorKs · January 14, 2013 at 4:41 PM

Hi everyone !

I'm new to Kemper as one of my friends allowed me to borrow his Kemper for tests and recording a clip for Mayones - Seymour Duncan - Keith Merrow's guitar contest and damn this thing sounds huge !
I was using a pretty similar system from another company lately but this little toolbox is just amazing and easy to use. I own a Mesa Boogie Mark V (with a Roadster 4x12 cab) and i use to record it through different mics and i have to say that the Kemper mimics my amp (and many more) so well that i think it's the perfect weapon for recording nice and easy with a professional sound. Gonna be the owner of that beast in a few months, as soon as i'll sell my other system.

Btw here's the video of my participation to the contest, using a Mark V based mod w/ internal Reverb and Tap Delay. Hope you'll enjoy this

Put some Mayones on it !

Hope to join private section really soon !

Hi, great performance

Well, almost-welcomed then

BTW, you can't have been using a pretty similar system from another company ... there's not such a thing.

HateWorKs · January 14, 2013 at 7:42 PM

Thanks

True, there's not such a thing at that level of quality and with that much features inside, that's why i'm hunting for one !

I've been using a T****do from "you know, the french company" to make it clear.

Damn can't wait to get my Kemper !

LOL

Well, don't be afraid, you definitely can name things here

While you wait, you might want to read some buzz

Welcome. Hope you get a lunchbox soon!

HateWorKs · January 20, 2013 at 1:52 PM

Hehe, thanks. Well, i'm glad i'm not the owner of a lunchbox yet, patience pays ! I think i'll get a Kemper rack as soon as it's out, that was all i expected from it !

By the way, we'll be using Kemper for the second album of our band Diluvian which will come out this year, here's "Epidemic", our first full length album : http://www.deezer.com/album/678498

Well, being 61 years old and having grown up with Hendrix, The Cream, and a host of great 60s groups, I'm not much into death metal. That said, I actually liked the music I just sampled from your group. The big disconnect for me are the vocals. If I listened to that late at night I'd never get to sleep!

HateWorKs · January 20, 2013 at 4:44 PM

Hehe, well, i understand
Death metal is a pretty specific genre, not everyone likes it of course and i understand vocals might feel too much for some but thanks for taking some time to check it out.

Funny thing is that i'm playing a lot of blues (Gary Moore is one of my favorite guitarist of all times), jazz, fusion, progressive rock / metal (Rush, Marillion, Dream Theater)...etc, and not that much death metal but i still think it's a really nice pot to melt all sort of influences : you can go across any kind of emotions, include parts of any other genre, use any groove, any signature, any instrument (recorded cello lately for a thrash - death metal band)... My students always say "when are you making some rock or blues instead of that brutal thing ?", that's just because i can go anywhere, anytime without feeling stuck in scales / licks that are too "cliché".

Our second album is gonna be much more focused on climates, much more "progressive" and technical, can't wait to share it

Great stuff, my favourite part is the obviously very happy dog

HateWorKs · January 28, 2013 at 11:49 PM

Well... couldn't wait until rack comes out, i'll officially be in 3/4 days a member of the KPA family

Maurizio70 · January 29, 2013 at 2:14 AM

HateWorKs · February 5, 2013 at 8:20 PM

I'll keep my Torpedo i guess and try to make some profiles with "no cab" and using the brutal cab sim from "The french company"

Btw, how do i get access to private section ?

guitarnet70 · February 5, 2013 at 9:06 PM

Login to the Kemper webpage and register your Profiler

0:48 is very Bumblebee-esque.

Cool!
